Each passage is followed by five questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneEvery summer in Australia there is the danger of bush fires .Long periods of hot dry weather cause the grass and trees to become highly inflammable .In addition to the dryness and high temperature,another important factor is the great amount of oil in the leaves of such trees as eucalyptus,gum and ti trees.Fires start very easily ,often spontaneously(自动地，自发地),but usually because of a carelessly thrown cigarette or match,If there is a high wind,the ample supply of air fans the flames into an inferno .The radiant heat vaporizes the oil in the leaves,and the fire travels very quickly,sometimes overtakes fleeing cars and burns passengers to death.Great fires often occur around Christmas,in areas near big cities,causing great loss of life and property.36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor that contributes to great fire danger?A. sultry weatherB. Cigarettes thrown out of car windowsC. Pine forestsD. Windstorm37. According to the passage ,fires erupt when .A. arsonists set matches to leavesB. crude oil contacts inflammable objectsC. tourists throw cigarette ends onto refuse dumpsD. trees start burning of themselves38. Bush fires travel .A. in small wayB. in disorderC. seriouslyD. swiftly39. “Inferno”in the context means“”.A. hellB. place of great heat and fireC. furnace for smelting ironD. fireballPassage TwoIn the water around New York City there is a very small island called liberty Island .On Liberty Island there is a special statue called the Statue of Liberty.It is one of the most famous sights in the world.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.Liberty ,of course,means freedom,and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S.independence from England.The statue was built in France,taken apart piece by piece,and then rebuilt in the United States.It was opened for the public on October 28,1886.As you might expect ,the statue is very big.Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue.If they want to ,they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.40. A good title for this selection is .A. Famous Sights in the WorldB. Liberty IslandC. The Statue of LibertyD. A Gift from France41. The world“sights”in the first paragraph means .A. a small presentB. a kind of postcardC. the power of seeingD. something that you can see42. The statue was built in .A. FranceB. the United StatesC. EnglandD. Liberty Island43. We may conclude that the elevator does not .A. go to the topB. go fast enoughC. cost a lot of moneyD. both B and CPassage ThreeMany strange new means of transport have been developed in our century,the strangest of them being perhaps the hovercraft.In 1953,a former electronics engineer in his fifties,Christopher Cockerell,who had turned to boat-building on the Norfolk Broads,suggested an idea on which he had been working for many years to the British government and industrial circles.It was the idea of supporting a craft on a “pad”,or cushion, of low-pressure air,ringed with a curtain of higher pressure air ,Eversince ,people have had difficulty in deciding whether the craft should be ranged among ships ,planes ,or land vehicles_for it is something in between a boat and an aircraft .As a ship builder,Cockerell was trying to find a solution to the problem of the wave resistance which wastes a good deal of a surface‟s power and limits its speed.His answer was to lift the vessel out of the water by making it ride on a cushion of air ,no more than one or two feet thick.This is done by a great number of ringshaped air jets on the bottom of the craft.It“flies”,therefore,but it cannot fly higher_its action depends on the surface,water or ground,over which it rides.44. Which of the following statements is true?A. The engineer had worked out the idea for many years.B. The engineer had been working on the idea for many years.C. The engineer suggested the idea to the British government and industrial circles for many years.D. The British government and industrial circles accepted the idea many years later.45. The engineer‟s suggestion is that he build a craft.A. with support of a pad under itB. with support of a curtain round itC. with support of a pad of airD. with support of a cushion of air made by jet engines46. The word “hovercraft”in line two means.A. a craft which can move over land of waterB. a craft which can fly a short distanceC. a craft which can fly a long distanceD. a craft which can fly in circles47. We may conclude from reading the passage that .A. a hovercraft can not fly high because of the surrounding high-pressure airB. a hovercraft is as much in use as a planeC. a hovercraft“flies”with a greater speed than shipsD. a hovercraft also has the problem of wave resistancePassage FourIt is animals and plants which lived in or near water whose remains are most likely to be preserved ,for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial ,and it is only in the seas and rivers,and sometimes lakes,where mud and silt have been continually deposited,that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered over and preserved.But even in the most favorable circumstances only a small fraction of the creatures that die are preserved in this way before decay sets in or ,even more likely,before scavengers eat them.After all, all living creatures live by feeding on something else,whether it be plant or animal,dead or alive ,and it is only by chance that such a fate is avoided .The remains of plants and aninmals that lived on land are much more rarely preserved ,for there is seldom anything to cover them over.When you think of the innumerable birds that one sees flying about,not to mention the equally numerous small animals like field mice and voles which you do not see,it is very rarely that one comes across a dead body,except,of course ,on the roads,They decompose and are quickly destroyed by the weather or eaten by some other creatures.48. Quick burial leads to the preservation of .A. a large number of remainsB. a number of remainsC. only a small number of remainsD. few remains49. Which of the following is not true?A. All living creatures die in order to be eaten by others.B. All living creatures can be the food of others.C. All living creatures decay.D. Only a small number of living creatures can avoid being eaten by other.50. Most remains of animals and plants on land can not survive because of .A. bad weatherB. sun-rayC. floodsD. decay51. The best title for this passage is .A. The Origin of Life on EarthB. Life Forms on EarthC. The Discovery of Life on EarthD. The Preservation of the Past Life on EarthPassage Five1970 was World Conservation Year.The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger .They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to “conserve”nature.Here is one example of the problem.At one time there were 1,300 different plants,trees and flowers in Holland.But now only 866 remain.The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology.We are changing the earth ,the air and water,and everthing that grows and lives.We can‟t live without these thing either .If we continue like this,we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future?Pe rhaps it is more important to ask“what must we do now?”The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today .A lot of them know that conservation is necessary . Many are helping to save our world .They plant trees,build bridges across rivers in forests,and so on .In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river.Young people may hear conservation through a record called“No One‟s Going to Change Our World”.It was made by the Beetles, Cliff Richard and other singers.The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.52.

(30’)AWhen God made the first man, he put him on a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden. Here Adam lived din peace with all the animals. God gave Adam eternal (永恒的) life. But Adam was lonely in the garden, so God made Eve. When Adam was asleep one night, God took a rib (肋骨) from him and made Eve, the first woman. Adam was happy when he woke up the next morning and found Eve beside him. God said to them, “Here in theGarden you have everything. But you cannot have one thing: you cannot eat the apples from the Tree of Knowledge.”One day Satan came to the Garden. He changed into a snake and went to live in the Tree of Knowledge. When Eve came near the tree one day, the snake called her.He gave her and apple and said, “Take this apple and eat it. Don’t listen to the God. Eat it.” After Eve took a bite, she took the apple to Adam. He was afraid, but Eve repeated again and again: It’s good. Here, eat it. Why not? So h e finally ate the apple.Before they ate the apple, Adam and Eve didn’t know that they were naked (裸体的). But now they were ashamed and covered their bodies with leaves. God was angry with them. He said, “Leave the Garden. You cannot stay here.”When Adam and Eve left the garden, they had their first experience of pain and hard work in the cold hard world outside.36.

Its neighbors are Canada to the north, and Mexico to the south.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented (代表) of the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 states. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii. Indians were the first inhabitants (居民) of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of the descendants (后代) of these original inhabitants living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans.”Most Americans, however, are descendants of people who came from all over the world to find a new life in a new land. Those who came first and in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than of any other country in the world.41. What countries are neighbors of the United States? DA. CanadaB. EnglandC. MexicoD. Both A and C42. At the beginning there were __ D____ states, but now there are _____ states.A. 30, 50B. 43, 48C. 30, 52D. 13, 5043.

The customs and culture of the United States are more like those of England than of any other country because __ D___.A. the language of the United States is EnglishB. the American were the first inhabitants of North AmericaC. people from other countries did not come to America.D. the early immigrants who came to America were mostly from England.CThere was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of he window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some w omen and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves.Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46.What do gentlemen now do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train? CA. They will stand up reluctantlyB. They will offer her their seats after a whileC. They will pretend not to see herD. They will get off the bus47.Which of the following statements is true? DA. Men have become less and less polite to women.B The women are thought of as the weaker sex.C. The women could not open doors for themselves.D. Men’s attitudes towards women are reasonable.48. Why are some women likely to get angry when a man holds the door open for them? BA. Because the man should not hold the door open.B. Because they think they are looked down upon.C. Because they are treated too politely.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49. What is re placing men’s gestures of politeness?BA. More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelingsC. More equal treatment to women in every respect.D. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.50.What can we learn from this passage? DA. Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards menC. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.V. Translation. (15’)1. 去看芭蕾舞 (ballet) 对她来说真是一件乐事！It's a great treat for her to go to the ballet.2. 史密斯先生和他的妻子刚从美国回来。

A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius，a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer - Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered，a ball was planned at Mauritius's Government House，and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words 'Post Office' instead of 'Post Paid'on the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-Penny Orange Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because of the Two-penny Blue's rareness and age，collectors have paid as much as 16,800 for it.31．A postage stamp's value to collectors is raised if ______.[A] there are few others like it[B] there are no errors on the stamp[C] a mistake is made in the printing[D] both A and C32．Mauritius is the name of ______.[A] an island kingdom[B] a British colony[C] a province of India[D] a London printer33．The mistake on the locally printed postage stamps was in the ______.[A] spelling of postage [B] size [C] price [D] color34．Implied but not stated：______[A] All correctly printed stamps are worthless.[B] Mauritians needed the stamps to send out invitations to a ball.[C] The printer was punished for his mistake.[D] Collectors are constantly looking for stamps with mistakes.35．The best title for this passage is ______.[A] The 'Post Paid' Error[B] The Two-penny Blue[C] A London Printer's Error[D] How Mauritius Became FamousPassage 2When the weather is hot，you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean，you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot，but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot，the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean，you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course，scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask，"Why is the ocean full of salt?"，scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold，it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask，"What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year." Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have，and we are curious.36．The main idea of this passage is _____.[A] people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean[B] scientists can explain everything we want to know[C] scientists can explain many things but not everything[D] the salt in the ocean comes from rocks37．You feel cool when you are near a lake or an ocean because _____.[A] the water is cold[B] the earth is hot[C] the water is colder than the earth[D] cool air from the water moves towards the land38．Now scientists know _____.[A] what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer[B] everything about the ocean[C] why the ocean does not get more and more salty[D] what happens to the salt in the ocean39．A rock cracks when _____.[A] rain falls [B] it gets very hot[C] it gets very cold [D] either B or C40．People are always curious because _____.[A] they know nothing about the world[B] they know little about the world[C] there are answers they do not have[D] either A or BPassage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00pm. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one night to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solution, they went to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided. Unfortunately, they did not know that it is a very serious matter to wake up Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occurred to him (or to the natives)that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.41．According to the U.S. custom, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American? _____[A] Very impolite．[B] Not usual．[C] Very urgent．[D] Not necessary.42．At which of the following hours is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance? _____[A]11：00am．[B] 11：30pm．[C] 5：00am．[D] 12：00pm.43．Why did the natives go to the plant manager's home and wake him up?_____[A] To have a talk with him．[B] To inform him of their decision.[C] To discuss a problem with him．[D] To tell him a problem they met with.44．What was the manager's immediate reaction to the natives' arrival?_____[A] He thought the natives were mad.[B] He didn't take it seriously.[C] He called in a policeman to talk with the natives.[D] He believed there was a fight and called the police at once.45．What is most likely caused by a phone call or a visit at midnight? _____[A] Concern．[B] Fear．[C] Excitement．[D] All of the above.1. large The factory is being to make room for more machinery.2. efficient You will increase your ___ if you introduce more system into your work.3. cruel___ to children or animal is a crime in many counties.4. appear If you use this chemical to clean your shirt, the stains will___ immediately5. understand John and Mary had a ___, but they have made it up now.6. health The children looked wonderfully ___with their bright eyes and glowing cheeks.7. please The success of the experiment was a great___ and encouragement to the young scientists.8. eager She could not conceal her ___ for praise.9. construction The old professor made a number of very ___suggestions concerning soil conservation in the area.10. curious Looking up, I saw his eyes fixed on me in ___.1.战争已经威胁了这些人们几十年，他们似乎已学会接受这一现实了。

Mother‘s (rather than father‘s) own educational achievements have long been thought to be the key to children‘s progress at school. But government-funded research suggests that mothers can compensate for their lack of exam success if they offer their under-fives activities linked to literacy and numeracy.Researchers from Oxford, Cardiff and London universities, who measured the attainments of65316426.doc 2more than 2,000 children at the ages of three and five, found that their mothers‘education is important in accounting for differences between children. But what the mother did with the child was even more important. Those who talked frequently to their children, who played games with numbers and letters, read to them, took them to the library and taught them songs and nursery rhymes had a significant effect on their attainment both at the ages of three and five. Professor Pam Sammons of London University‘s Institute of Education, said, ―Children‘s progress is not completely determined by social disadvantages. What parents do with children is critically important. Parents who have no educational qualifications can still do many things to help their children. We need to encourage parents, particularly younger ones, to play with children and to talk to them.Sammons said the findings emphasized the importance of policies for supporting families of under-threes, for example, the government‘s Sure Start program. MPs on the Select Committee for Education are investigating early years education. Ministers have provided a nursery, playgroup or school place for every four-year-old, but critics say that too many children are now in school reception classes, which are not equipped for them. There are more staff workers for each child in nurseries than in reception classes. The researchers, comparing children‘s achievements in math and literacy, found that playgroups and private day nurseries tended to do much less well than nursery schools, which combined education, day care and reception classes.This research is consistent with previous studies that show the benefit of mother play in other areas such as in a child‘s creativity and social development using other devices such as music and toys. Music helps children connect the outer world of movement and sound with the inner world of feelings and observations. Children learn music the same way they learn language – by listening and imitating. Finger play promotes language development, motor skills and coordination, as well as self-esteem. Young children are proud when they sing a song and can do the accompanying finger movements. Listening to music also teaches important pre-reading skills. As youngsters use small drums or other percussion instruments (homemade or store-bought), they can play the rhythmic pattern of words.Babies become social beings through watching their parents, and through interacting with them and the rest of the family and later with others. It is a crucial time to begin teaching by example how people should behave toward one another. Toys that help babies with social development are stuffed animals, animal mobiles and dolls. Even very small babies can socialize with them. The infant will often converse with animal prancing on the crib bumpers or revolving on a mobile. Later, books and opportunities for make-believe and dress-up play also help children to develop social skills.In the beginning, babies‘ hand movements are totally random. But within a few months those tiny hands will move with more purpose and control. A mother has a particularly important role in the development of purposeful movement by giving her baby‘s hands plenty freedom; rather than keeping them swaddled or tucked under a blanket (except outdoor in cold weather). Researchers suggest providing a variety of objects that are easy for small hands to pick up and manipulate, and that don‘t require fine dexterity. And since young babies usually won‘t grasp objects that are directly in front of them, a mother should offer these objects from the side.Researchers suggest that mother give babies ample opportunity for ―hands-on‖ experience with the following:Rattles that fit small hands comfortably. Those with two handles or grasping surfaces allow a baby to pass them from hand to hand, an important skill, and those that baby can put their mouth on will help bring relief when teething begins.65316426.doc 3They also suggest mothers use cradle gyms (they fit across a carriage, playpen or crib) that have a variety of parts for baby to grab hold of, spin, pull and poke. Beware of those, however, with strings more than six inches long, and take any gym down once your baby is able to sit up.Another useful play device is an activity board that requires a wide range of hand movements to operate, many of which your baby won‘t be able to intentionally maneuver for a while, but some of which even a young infant can set in motion accidentally with a swipe of a hand or foot. Besides the spinning, dialing, pushing, and pressing skills these toys encourage, they also teach the concept of cause and effect.1.Mothers, either well-educated or badly-educated, can help their young children succeedacademically.2.Young babies at all ages benefit from mothers who talk and play games with them.3.Even if a mother has no educational qualifications, she should play and talk with her child.4.There is no shortage of nurseries, playgroup or school places.5.Listening to music can teach children important pre-reading skills.6.Babies can move their tiny hands within a few months after they are born.7.If you give an object to a baby you‘d better not offer it from the side of the baby.1.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕2.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕3. 〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕4.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕5.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕6. 〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕7.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕8.

Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.A new study says walking is just as (47) as more difficult exercise in reducing the risk of heart disease in women. It suggests that even (48) amounts of exercise can be good for women‘s health. Federal researchers in the United States (49) the study. The research is part of the federal government‘s Women‘s Health Initiative. Researchers are studying many health questions important to older women.The researchers (50) almost 74,000 women during a six-year period. The women were between the ages of 50 and 79. They answered questions about their activity (51) . The researchers divided the women into five groups, from the (52) activity to the most activity.The study found that fast walking for about two-and-one-half hours a week cut the risk of heart disease (53) one-third. This good effect was about the same in women who spent an (54) amount of time doing more difficult exercise. The good effects (55) as the women spent more time and energy taking part in such exercises.The study also found that sitting in a chair for at least sixteen hours each day could increase the risk of heart disease (56) a person exercised or not. The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choic.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side65316426.doc 8controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879 –1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer‘s day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don‘t we give more value to visual thinking?In fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.57. According to the passage, the left side of the brain ________.A) controls language and numberB) controls our imaginationC) daydreamsD) controls our sense of rhythm58. What does the author want to show by using the example of Einstein?A) Great scientists are also great artists.B) The left side of Einstein‘s brain is very powerful.C) Einstein is a genius whose two sides of the brain are strong.D) The two sides of the brain are equally important.59. What do we learn about Einstein from the passage?A) He could play the violin well.B) He said his scientific discoveries are acquired by analysis rather than by daydreaming.C) He was the first person to discover the track of the sun.D) He was disgusted at language.60. What does the author mean by saying ―we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectlygood legs‖ (Para. 4) ?A)We needn‘t hop because we are healthy.B)Only those who have something wrong in their legs can be encouraged to hop.C)It‘s foolish of us to hop when we have two perfectly good legs.D)We should use both sides of the brain.61. The author believes that the right side of our brain is as important as the left side because65316426.doc 9________.A) it controls our appreciation of music and sense of rhythmB) it enables us to make scientific discoveriesC) it is more important to analyze and organize in order to surviveD) the imaginations may provide solutions to problems and enable us to enjoy emotional andartistic experiencesPassage TwoQuestion 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.―Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o‘clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.‖When the elderly person makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: ―You don‘t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?‖We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.62. Why can‘t we always keep calm in front of old people?A)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don‘t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.63. What happens to elderly people‘s memory according to the passage?A)Their memory becomes worse and recalls basic things as granted.B)Their memory becomes worse and can‘t remember basic things.C)They can‘t remember their failures.D)They can only remember past failures.64. Paragraph 3 gives an example illustrating ________.65316426.doc10A)how to provide simple, direct informationB) a daughter‘s care for her motherC) a daughter‘s duty to her motherD)the right procedure of helping the old65. Why are old people encouraged to use diaries?A)Because diaries can replace reminder boarders.B)Because diaries are the best way to record important events.C)Because diaries help make up for poor memory.D)Because diaries can label the contents of cupboards.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

In fact, the Internet is becoming a dominant element in modern life.The advantages of the Internet are very prominent. First, it can transmit information with surprising speed, and thus distances have been shortened. Second, with the Internet, life has become clearer. On-line chatting and various kinds of news give us access to knowledge from every corner of the world. Third, the Internet has completely changed people‘s mode of living. For example, on-line shopping, both convenient and cheap, is becoming more and more popular.However, the Internet has also brought some problems. First, its surprising speed can promote the spread of viruses as well. And virtual space has also provided opportunities for criminal activities. Third, many young people spend time on the Internet which should be devoted to homework.Overall, just as a coin has two sides, the Internet has both good and bad influences. Used wisely, the Internet will contribute to a brilliant future for us.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.Y2. NG3. Y4. N5. Y6. NG7.

Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.Thomas A. Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train thatran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Thomas was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. A stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. He was then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey.Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He called himself a "two-shift man" because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.1. Thomas Edison did things in this order:A. he became a telegraph operator, a newsboy, and then got his first patentB. he became a newsboy, got his first patent, and then became a telegraph operatorC. he got a patent, became a telegraph operator, and then became a newsboyD. he became a newsboy, a telegraph operator, and then got a patent2.

Thomas Edison worked day and night on his experimentsD. deaf people make good inventors because they can focus without the distraction of spoken conversation5. Thomas Edison died in ______.A. OhioB. MichiganC. DetroitD. New Jersey2Christine Evert Lloyd is an American tennis champion and one of the top women players in the world. She is noted for her strong backhand and her intense concentration during a match.Christine Marie Evert was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She learned to play tennis from her father. Because she learned to play on the slow clay tennis courts which are common in southern Florida, Evert is at her best on slow courts.In 1971, at the age of sixteen, Evert became the youngest player to reach the semifinals of the United States Open Tennis Championship. This was her first time to participate in the U. S. Open. In 1972, she turned professional and was able to accept money and other prizes for winning matches.In 1974, she won the women's singles title in two major tournaments. These titles were at Wimbledon, the British Championship, and the French Open, which is played on clay. Later she won the U. S. and Australian Opens, the two other major tennis Championships.Evert set an impressive record of wins on clay courts. From August 1973 to May 1979, a period of almost six years, Evert beat 125 opponents. Her unbelievable record will be remembered for a very long time in the sports world.In 1979, Evert married English tennis player John Lloyd.1. Wimbledon is the site of____.A. the U. S. OpenB. the British ChampionshipC. the French OpenD. both B and C2. A tennis competition between two people is called a tennis ____.A. gameB. championC. openD. match3. At her first U. S.

The underlined word slow probably means ______.A. the tennis balls travel slowlyB. the player may hit the ball slowlyC. the tennis balls do not travel as fast after they hit the groundD. the competition is slow3Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three children and they were all born in the States. The eighteen year old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speaks Korean very well too. She has no problems talking with her parents, but she still doesn't understand Korean jokes, and there are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old, and shedoesn't want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about. I felt sympathy for my aunt whenever my fourteen year old cousin said, "Mom, what is your problem?" The third child is a twelve year old son. He speaks English to his parents and my aunt speaks Korean to him as she does to the second daughter. He also has a problem communicating with his parents. My aunt is trying to teach him to speak both languages very well, but it is very hard for him because he speaks English all day and does not understand why he should learn to speak Korean.1.What do you think this article will be about?A. Learning a second language.B. Immigrants who become sick in the U.SC. Language and its effect on the identity of immigrants.D. Schools attended by immigrants to the U.S.2. Which of these statements is NOT true according to the first paragraph of the article?A. Second generation immigrants are usually eager to learn their parents' nativelanguage.B. It is often hard for first and second generation family members to communicate witheach other.C. Because second generation immigrant children often speak only English, they maylose their ethnic identity.D. Sometimes second generation immigrant children ignore their parents because oflanguage differences.3. Which of the following is NOT true about the 18 year old daughter?A. She was born in the U.S.B. She speaks only English very well; her Korean is poor.C. She gets along better with her parents than her brother and other sister do.D. She doesn't understand Korean jokes well.4. Which is NOT a reason that the 14 year old sister has problems with her mother?A. She doesn't want to speak Korean.B. She doesn't love her mother.C. She is very Americanized.D. She does not understand her mother when she gets punished.5. To whom does the mother speak Korean?A. Her oldest daughter only.B. All of her children.C. Her two daughters only.D. Only to her son.4Dear Assemblywoman（女议员）Weiner:I think the state assembly should pass a law prohibiting people from letting their cats run free. As a member of the assembly, you can introduce any bill you wish. There are three important reasons why you should propose this one:1. When cats run free, they lurk（潜伏）under bird feeders and kill defenseless songbirds. Every time I put up a bird feeder, I find at least one dead bird in my yard. I'm sure all those birds were killed by cats. And cats don't even eat the birds they kill. Songbirds belong in our parks and gardens, but cats don't. Dogs never kill poor little birds.2. Cats are always using my garden as a litter box. This is not only disgusting but also highly unsanitary. Children can't play in the garden when cats have been there. Dogs are usually kept on leashes, so they can't soil private property. Cats spread diseases when they use a garden as a litter box, so I think this should be stopped.3. Finally, letting cats run free is not even good for the cats. Sure, most cats want to go outside. Their owners like to give them everything they want, just like spoiled children. But cats that stay indoors live much longer than cats that run free. Cats are always getting hit by cars when they're allowed to run free.I'm sure that if you think about all the things I've said, you will work to pass a law prohibiting cats from running free. This will improve our environment, make our parks and gardens cleaner, and even help the cats themselves by making them live longer.Thank you for your attention to my request. And did I mention that I really love dogs? Idon't know why anyone would want a cat in the first place.Sincerely,Eve Harringford1.The writer's purpose in writing this letter is to ______.A. persuade the assemblywomanB. inform the assemblywoman of somethingC. entertain the readersD. tell a story2. Which sentence in paragraph 1 of the list is an invalid argument?A. When cats run free, they lurk under bird feeders and kill defenseless songbirds.B. And cats don't even eat the birds they kill.C. I'm sure all those birds were killed by cats.D. Songbirds belong in our parks and gardens, but cats don't.3. Which statement from the passage is a fact?A. The state assembly should pass a law prohibiting people from letting their cats run free.B. As a member of the assembly, you can introduce any bill you wish.C. Songbirds belong in our parks and gardens, but cats don't.D. Their owners like to give them everything they want, just like spoiled children.4. The author's tone in this letter can best be described as _______.A. objectiveB. explanatoryC. sympatheticD. annoyed5. The underlined word “litter box “ probably means _____.A. a little boxB. a box in gardenC. a box collecting pet’s dirtD. a box for pets三、完形填空Most people think of shark (鲨鱼) as huge, powerful, frightening predators (掠食动物), ready at any moment _1_ their sharp teeth to attack swimmers.

A shark can have from one to seven sets of teeth at the same time, and some types of shark _9_ have several hundred teeth in each jaw. It is _10_ that the cruel and predatory species do have extremely _11_ teeth used to tear and cut their victim _12_, many other types of shark, however, have teeth more suitable to _13_ than to cutting._14_, not all sharks are predatory animals ready to strike out _15_ humans. In fact, only 12 of the 350 species of shark _16_ to attack humans, and a shark _17_ attacks humans unless is made angry.

We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget(预算).As your hotels offer anything from coffee and toast to a full American breakfast at very reasonable prices, it will never be a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best. At lunch stops, your tour guide will show you where you can find salads, soups, and sandwiches.Dinner time is your chance to try some local food. Sometimes the tour guide will let you have dinner at a restaurant of your own choice. At other times he or she will recommend a restaurant atyour hotel. Years of research have taught us which restaurants reliably serve a good choice of delightful dishes at down-to-earth prices.In Mexico, Alaska, and the Yukon, where your restaurant choice may be limited, we include some meals. The meals provided are clearly stated on the tour pages.1. According to the passage, most meals are not included in the price of tours mainly because_________.A. meals make up a large part of the tour budgetB. meal prices vary a lot from place to placeC. people dislike menus offered by tour guidesD. people have different eating habits2. We can learn from the passage that _________.A. the hotels where you stay will offer you free breakfastB. dining information can be obtained from your tour guidesC. you can have a complete choice of local dishes at the hotelD. a full list of local restaurants can be found on the tour pages3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Tour guides are supposed to arrange dinner outside the hotel.B. Tour guides’recommendations on food are unreliable.C.

Flexible workinghours, or …flextime‟, are catching on fast, and this trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200.000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain "key" limes in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability to be able to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employers‟ point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the workers a greater sense of duty.1. According to the passage, the _____ invented the "flexible working hours".A. JapaneseB. AmericansC. GermansD. British2. The phrase …catch on‟ (in Para. 1) most probably means__.A. understandB. seizeC. perceiveD. become popular3. What is one of the advantages of "flextime" for workers?A. T hey can earn more money.B.

A better balance between working and private life.B. It reduces labor turnover.C. It gives the workers a greater sense of duty.D. It tends to increase productivity.5. The author ________ "flextime" according to the passage.A. supportsB. is againstC. criticizesD. halesThe key: CDBAAPassage3Many centuries ago, a group of Jews (犹太人) landed in India and immediately went to the king. They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, "What is the difference in taste?"The leader said, "The second time the milk tastes terrible." "That is because of the wateradded to the milk," said the king. “The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will spoil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king lo taste it. "It tastes sweet," said the king.The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said. "Oh, king! That is how we would like lo live here: as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk." Pleased with him the king granted them permission to stay.1．The leader of the Jews went to the king because____________ .A. they wanted to ask directionsB. they wanted to drink some milkC. they wanted to live thereD. they wanted to go through the kingdom2．____________________________ Why was the king hesitant?A.

Passage 1In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12 a.m.. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m.. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m.. Two students came after 11 a.m.. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.41. The word “ punctual” most probably means _______.A. leaving soon after classB. coming earlyC. arriving a few minutes lateD. being on time42. Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?A. Because he felt puzzled at the students’ being late.B. Because he felt angry at the students’ rudeness.C. Because he wanted to make the students come on time later.D. Because he wanted to collect data for one of his students.43. It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that ____.A.American students will become impatient if their friends is five minutes lateB.neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC.being late in one culture may not be considered so in another cultureD.Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time44. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil _____.A. it is important to arrive at the appointed timeB. it is rude to keep the professor staying after callsC. it is normal for students to leave during lecturesD.it is acceptable for professors to be late for class45. What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.People learn the importance of time from the culture they are in.D.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher. Passage 2Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles （困难）. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off （挡开）illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting （转移…注意力）us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.46. Interpersonal relationships are important because ________.A. they are indispensable to people's social well-beingB. they awaken people's desire to exchange resourcesC. they help people to cope with life in the information eraD. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc47. Research shows that people's physical and mental health ________.A. relies on the social welfare systems which support themB. has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersC. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesD. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives48. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “cushions” （Line 1,Para. 2）?A. Adds up to.B. Does away with.C. Lessens the effect of.D. Lays the foundation for.49. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of ________.A. instrumental supportB. informational supportC. social companionshipD. the strengthening of self-respect50. Social companionship is beneficial in that ________.A. it helps strengthen our ties with relativesB. it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakesC. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyableD. it draws our attention away from our worries and troublesIV.

The story of a man with a low IQ who inadvertently becomes part of some of the most historic events in American history, all while trying to reunite with his childhood sweetheart, Jenny, is truly inspiring. The movie's message about the power of love, friendship, and perseverance resonated deeply with me. Tom Hanks' portrayal of Forrest is remarkable, bringing both humor and tears to the audience. The movie's soundtrack is also exceptional, perfectly capturing the emotional rollercoaster of Forrest's journey. Every time I watch Forrest Gump, I am reminded of the importance of kindness, hope, and never giving up on one's dreams.Five, 近义词辨析23. manyA. lots ofB. muchC. littleD. few24. escapeA. musicB. runC. hideD. sing25. urgentA. quickB. healthyC. busyD. slow26. promptA. on timeB. lateC. earlyD. yesterday27. copyA. originalB. imitateC. fakeD. different。
