In the 1 World, the woman saw many people like her father and daughter. All of them were attracted by huge advertisements showing beautiful 2 girls and confident men 3 away. As in American cities and reservations (美国印地安部落的居留地), money intended for food was spent on tobacco so that 4 time people starve for food and air, weaken and hook their children and 5 kill themselves. She read in the newspaper that cigarette ends are so poisonous 6 if swallowed by a baby, it is likely to die; and in the gardening magazine, that boiled water from a bunch of cigarette ends is an 7 insecticide.
She feels a deep hurt, a feeling of 8 as she remembers how carefully she ate when pregnant, 9 patiently she taught her daughter to cross a street safely. “For what?” she 10 wonders. “So that my daughter can struggle to 11 most of her life, feel half her strength, and then 12 self-poisoning, like her grandfather?”
She likes a quotation from a 13 women’s shelter: “Peace on earth begins at home.”She believes 14 does, so she thinks of a quotation for people 15 stop smoking: “Every home is a 16 smoking zone.” She views smoking as self-battering which also batters 17 who helplessly watch.

The Bermuda T riangle
The Bermuda Triangle (百慕大三角地区) is a region of the western Atlantic Ocean, which has become associated in the popular imagination with mysterious maritime (海上的) disasters. Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the triangle-based area covers about 1,140,000 sq km between the island of Bermuda, the coast of southern Florida, and Puerto Rico.
The evil reputation of the Bermuda Triangle may be traceable (可追溯的) to reports made in the late 15th century by navigator Christopher Columbus concerning the Sargasso Sea, in which floating masses of gulfweed were regarded as strange and dangerous by early sailors; others date the notoriety (恶名) of the area to the mid-19th century, when a number of reports were made of unexplained disappearances and mysteriously abandoned ships. The earliest recorded disappearance of a United States vessel in the area occurred in March 1918, when the USS Cyclops vanished (消失).
The incident that consolidated (加强) the reputation of the Bermuda Triangle was the disappearance in December 1945 of Flight 19, a training squadron (中队) of five U.S. Navy bombers. The squadron left Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with 14 crewmen and disappeared after radioing a series of distress messages; a seaplane sent in search of the squadron also disappeared. Aircraft that have disappeared in the area since this incident include a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1948 and a C-124 with 53 passengers in 1951. Among the ships that have disappeared was the tanker Marine Sulphur Queen, which vanished with 39 men aboard in 1963.
Books, articles, and television broadcasts investigating the Bermuda Triangle emphasize that, in the case of most of the disappearances, the weather was favorable, the disappearances occurred in daylight after a sudden break in radio contact, and the vessels vanished without a trace.
However, skeptics (持怀疑态度的人) point out that many supposed mysteries result from careless or biased consideration of data. For example, some losses attributed to the Bermuda Triangle actually occurred outside the area of the triangle in severe weather conditions or in darkness, and some can be traced to known mechanical problems or inadequate equipment. In the case of Flight 19, for example, the squadron failed to follow instructions, and the aircraft were operating under conditions of deteriorating (越来越糟的) weather and visibility and with a low fuel supply. Other proposed explanations for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle include the action of physical forces unknown to science, a “hole in the sky,” and an unusual chemical component in the region’s seawater.
1. The Bermuda Triangle is located ________.
A. to the south of America
B. in the Pacific Ocean
C. in the eastern Atlantic Ocean
D. to the south of Puerto Rico
2. The Bermuda Triangle was believed to be a dangerous area in the late 15th century because ________.
A. many ships disappeared there
B. many ships were mysteriously abandoned there
C. the waves were regarded as odd and dangerous
D. the large quantity of seaweeds there were thought dangerous
3. Some skeptics believe that the mysterious disappearance of ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle is caused by the following except ________.
A. mechanical problems
B. poor visibility
C. a sudden break in radio contact
D. bad weather conditions
4. According to the passage, how many planes disappeared in 1945 in the Bermuda Triangle?
A. Five
B. Six
C. Seven
D. Eight
5. When Flight 19 disappeared, the squadron ________.
A. was on the way to Florida
B. was in training
C. was carrying out a bombing mission
D. was flying with a sufficient fuel supply
( ) 6. Flight 19 sent some radio messages back when receiving a series of distress messages. ( ) 7. The unexplained disappearance of the first American ship occurred in the early 19th century. ( ) 8. The weather was fair when all the disappearances actually happened around the Bermuda Triangle.
( ) 9. Scientists have found a clue to the mystery of the Devil’s Triangle.
( ) 10. According to some skeptics, the fact that the squadron failed to locate its position might be one of the reasons for the disappearance of Flight 19.
IV. Reading comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and write down your answers on your Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet. But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged (享有特权的)Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as too many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love. ”
It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents’over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.”
Today’s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden (负担) than a favor to their children. So their priority (优先考虑的事) is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.
1. According to the passage, children of rich families ________.
A. enjoy traveling
B. can buy love
C. usually commit suicide
D. are not always happy
2. Dr. Robert Coles believes that ________.
A. being rich has as many advantages as being poor
B. rich children often get too little entertainment
C. rich children sometimes can’t enjoy the things they are most in need of
D. rich children aren’t given enough things
3. Which of the following statements is Not TRUE according to the passage?
A. It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.
B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.
C. Money can’t buy everything.
D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.
4. The expression “silver spoons” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A. very expensive spoons
B. rich people
C. wealth
D. spoons made of silver
5. This article is written mainly to tell readers that ________.
A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselves
B. money can bring a lot of things, including love
C. life is always happy for children of rich parents
D. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than money
Passage Two
Do parents owe their children anything? Y es, they owe them a great deal.
One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem (自尊心) is the base of a good mental health. A youngster who is always made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and become so afraid of failing, that he (or she) won’t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But the criticisms should be balanced with praises.
Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it is like being in a car without brakes (刹车). The parent who says “No” when other parents say “Y es” sends a double message. He is also saying, “I love you, and I am ready to risk your anger, because I don’t want you to get into trouble.”
Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.
Parents owe their children privacy (隐私权) and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mails, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels that she must read her daughter’s diary to know what’s going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.
Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.
No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him his due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.
6. According to the passage, parents owe their children the following things except ________.
A. cars
B. privacy
C. respect of self
D. information about their body
7. The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are in charge of themselves because ________.
A. they don’t know how to stop a car without brakes
B. there is no one to guide and discipline them
C. they are afraid of being left alone
D. there is no one to ask for help when in trouble
8. Which of the following ways is advised for parents to show love to their children?
A. Saying “Y es” to everything the children ask for.
B. Never embracing older children.
C. Refusing something to their children.
D. Never criticizing children.
9. The word “due” in the last paragraph means ________.
A. something one should do or finish before a fixed time
B. reasonable explanation(s) or plan(s)
C. what must be given to someone because it is right or owing
D. the money to be paid
10. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own lives at an early age.
B. Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.
C. Children shouldn’t be corrected because it destroys their self-esteem.
D. It is better to compare a youngster to his brighter brothers because it makes him try harder.
Passage Three
Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The objective may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. Y ou may cut down diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to keep what has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. Y ou should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done without the interference from the leaves and also it is very likely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.
11. Pruning may be done to ______.
A. make the tree grow taller
B. improve the shape of the tree
C. get rid of the small branches
D. make the small branches thicker
12. Trees become unhealthy if the gardener ______.
A. allows too many branches to grow in the middle
B. does not protect them from wind
C. forces them to grow too quickly
D. damages some of the small side branches
13. Why is a special substance painted on the tree?
A. To make a wound smooth
B. To prevent disease entering a wound
C. To cover a rough surface
D. To help a wound to dry
14. A good gardener prunes a tree______.
A. at intervals throughout the year
B. as quickly as possible
C. occasionally when necessary
D. regular every winter
15. What was the author's purpose when writing this passage?
A. To give practical instruction for pruning a tree.
B. To give a general description of pruning
C. To explain how trees develop diseases
D. To discuss different methods of pruning.

II. Text Analysis An essay is usually made up of three parts: a beginning where the topic is introduced; the body part where the topic is elaborated on, and a conclusion. Besides stating the topic directly, there are many other ways to introduce a theme. In this text, an anecdote or an incident is used. The author of Text A, Unit 6, Book 1 (What Animals Really Think) introduces his topic by posing a question: "Do animals all have thoughts, what we call consciousness?" Text B, Unit 3, Book 1 (How to Make Sense out of Science) begins by quoting newspaper headlines: "New Drugs Kill Cancer Devastation by El Nino -- a Warning 6:30 p.m. October 26, 2028: Could This Be the Deadline for the Apocalypse?" Text B of this unit, Children and Money, begins with an imagined argument between a child and his parent over the control of pocket money. Discover other forms of introduction as you read on. However, the more important point is that you should learn to vary your own writing by adopting various types of topic introduction. Without a conclusion, an essay lacks a sense of completeness. A conclusion may be a restatement of the main points previously mentioned, a proposed solution, a quotation from some book or person, a prediction of future developments, a suggestion for further study, etc. Text B, Unit 3, Book 1 ends by giving a simile, comparing scientific research to mountain climbing, "a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead." In this text, Howard Gardner makes a suggestion in the form of a question. III. Cultural Notes 1. Education in the West: There is no common agreement in the West concerning the best method of education. A variety of views can be found among parents, teachers and students. Indeed, it might be argued that it is this very existence of contending points of view that is characteristic of Western education. This can be seen as far back as in the work of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates,who encouraged his students to question everything, even their most fundamental beliefs. Yet even then there was no general agreement that this was the best way to teach. Socrates, after all, was condemned to death by his fellow citizens for corrupting the morals of the young by his way of teaching. Many later periods of Western history were no more tolerant of encouraging students to challenge traditional beliefs: Darwin's theory of evolution, for example, was for a time banned from schools in some American states on the grounds of religious belief. Much of the current debate over education surrounds the extent to which learning should be teacher-based or student-based.Which of the two should decide what should be learned, how it should be learned, and when it should be learned? Comparing Western and Asian methods of learning it is generally true that Western methods are more student-centered, expecting students to discover things for

A Life Full of Riches 富足的一生 It was early December 2003, my first season as a Salvation Army bell ringer, when I was confronted with the question. I was standing just outside the doorway of a Wal-Mart, offering a "thank you" and a smile to each person who dropped a donation into my red kettle. A neatly dressed woman and her young son walked up to the kettle stand. While she searched her purse for some cash, the boy looked up at me. I can still see the confusion and curiosity in his eyes as he asked, "Are you poor?" 首次面对这个问题，是在2003年12月初，我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外，对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。她在钱包里摸着找钱时，孩子抬头看了我一眼，问我：“你穷吗？”当时他眼里充满疑惑和好奇，时至今日仍历历在目。 "Well," I stammered, trying to think, "I have more than some people, but not as much as others." His mother scolded him for the social no-no, and they hurried off to do their shopping. His question, however, did not leave me. “嗯，”我结结巴巴，边想边回答，“我比有些人拥有的多，但比其他人拥有的少。”母亲因为孩子问了一个在社交上不该问的问题，训斥了他一顿，他俩便匆匆的赶去购物。但是孩子的问题却一直留在我的心头挥之不去。 I've never thought of myself as "poor," but I can't deny certain facts. Every time I fill out my 1040 form, I fall into one of the lowest income brackets. In the past 35 years, I've taken just one vacation trip. My TV is a black-and-white set that someone gave me eight years ago. 我从不认为自己“穷”，但有些事实我不可否认。每当我填1040税务申报表时，我都属于收入最低的档次之一。在过去的三十五年中，我只出去度过一次假。我的电视机是黑白的，还是八年前别人送给我的。 Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have. My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105,000 miles. But it is still dependable. My apartment is modest, but quiet and relaxing. My clothes are well suited to my work, which is primarily outdoors. My minimal computer needs can be met at the library. 然而，想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西，对我来说，只不过是转瞬即逝的念头而已。我的汽车是1999年的产品，到现在开了十万五千英里，已经很破很旧了，但是它依然可靠。我的住房不大，但是很安静，住着挺舒心。我的衣服很适合于我的工作，主要都在户外。我对计算机的很少的需求，可以在图书馆得到解决。 In spite of what I don't have, I don't feel poor. Why? I've enjoyed exceptionally good health for 53 years. It's not just that I've been illness-free, it's that I feel vigorous and spirited. Exercising is actually fun for me. I look forward to long, energizing walks. And I love the "can do" attitude that follows. 尽管有些东西我没有，我并不感到贫穷。这是为什么五十三年来我一直非常健康。我不但不生病，而且精力充沛，情绪饱满。锻炼对我而言是确确实实的快事，我乐意长距离步行，越走越有劲。我喜爱步行后随之产生的一种“什么都干得了”的心态。 I also cherish the gift of creativity. When I write a beautiful line of poetry, or fabricate a joke that tickles someone, I feel rich inside. I'm continually surprised at the insights that come through my writing process. And talking with so many interesting writer friends is one of my main sources of enjoyment.
