And with bunches of grapes swinging(摇摆) in the wind, the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.The yearly wine festival is held in honour of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. It's a fun time with parties, music, dancing, big meals and, of course, lots of wine.French wine-making began more than 2,500 years ago. The world's oldest type of vine grows in France and always produces a good quality wine. Today France produces one-fifth of the world's wine, and some of the most famous varieties.The top wine-producing areas are Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Loire Valley. Champagne, a drink used in celebrations, is named after the place where sparkling (有气泡的)wine was first produced in 1700.Wine is made from the juice of freshly picked grapes. It is the sugars that turn into alcohol.Traditionally, people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice. Nowadays, this practice is usually carried out by machines.Each wine producing region has its own character, based on its type of grapes and soil.The taste of wine changes with time. Until 1850, all French champagne was sweet. Now, both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.The drink has always been linked with riches, romance and nobleness. Yet the French think of it in more ordinary terms.They believe it makes daily living easier, less hurried and with fewer problems."All its links are with times when people are at their best; with relaxation, happiness, long slow meals and the free flow of ideas," wrote wine expert Hugh Johnson.第16题：All French people celebrate the grape harvest every September.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【正确答案】：B第17题：In the yearly wine festival，people always enjoy themselves.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【正确答案】：A第18题：Wine-making in France has a history of over 2, 500 years.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【正确答案】：A第19题：Many varieties of wine produced in France are named after places.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【正确答案】：C第20题：Different regions in France produce different types of wine.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【正确答案】：A第21题：French wine will taste sour(酸的)in the future.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【正确答案】：C第22题：The French people believe that drinking wine is a good way to relax.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【正确答案】：A第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第23～30题，每题1分，共8分)Hurricanes (龙卷风)1. Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? They were simply given numbers. The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. But in 1953, female names were given because of the unpredictability (不可预知的) factor of the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist (性别歧视的) nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.2. Hurricanes and typhoons (台风) are the same things. If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning "big wind." And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaning "great wind." To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.3. Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses (凝结) from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator (赤道). To makea hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions.4. Scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour. In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we don't know how to make such great energy work for us.5. Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race along at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean for several days. It can be maddening (发疯的) if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.6. The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.A A Short History of Naming HurricanesB Harnessing the Hurricane EnergyC Difficulty in Forecasting the Course of a HurricaneD Huge Energy Stored in a HurricaneE Forecasting a Hurricane Through Satellite WatchingF Different Names for the Same Things第23题：Paragraph 1【正确答案】：A第24题：Paragraph 2【正确答案】：F第25题：Paragraph 3【正确答案】：D第26题：Paragraph 4【正确答案】：CA the timely (及时的) discoveryB convenienceC sex equalityD its connection with humans,E the huge powerF its uncertainly第27题：Both male and female names are used for hurricanes in consideration of.【正确答案】：C第28题：Using weather satellites can ensureof hurricanes.【正确答案】：A第29题：Energy specialists may be interested inof hurricanes.【正确答案】：E第30题：Scientists cannot accurately predict the course of a hurricane due to.【正确答案】：F第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)Motoring Technology1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year,plus a further 50 million injuries.To reduce car crash rate,much research now is focused on safety and new fuels-though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.Travelling at speed has always been dangerous.One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants.They can ensure you don’t miss important road signs or fall asleep.Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.Some safety developments aim to improve your vision.Radar can spot obstacles in fog,while other technology “sees through”big vehicles blocking your view.And improvements to seat belts,pedal(脚踏)controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer.The colour of a car has been found to be linked with safety,as have,less surprisingly,size and shape.But whatever is in the fuel tank,you don’t want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations(创新).Satellite tracking and remote communications can also come into play if youcrash,automatically calling for help.Accidents cause many traffic jams,but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road.Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools.Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyons’s personal chauffeur(司机),but their latest efforts suggest that won’t be soon.第31题：To reduce car crash rate,many scientists are working hard toA.design fully automatic cars.B.develop faster electric vehicles.C.analyze road deaths occurring worldwide each year.D.improve the safety of cars and develop new fuels.【正确答案】：D第32题：According to the second paragraph,most road accidents happen due toA.heavy traffic.B.human mistakes.C.engine failure.D.bad weather.【正确答案】：B第33题：Which of the following safety developments is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision.B.Radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog.C.Devices that can help drivers to see through big vehicles.D.Improvements in seat belts,pedal controls and tyres.【正确答案】：A第34题：Satellite tracking and remote communication systems cna be used toA.reduce oil consumption.B.remove the obstacles on the road.C.call for help when one’s car crashes.D.help drivers get out of a traffic jam.【正确答案】：C第35题：Which of the following statements is true of robotic drivers?A.It will take some time before robotic drivers are available.B.Robotic drivers are not allowed to driveon busy roads.C.Robotic drivers can never replace human drivers.D.Robotic drivers are too expensive to use.【正确答案】：AGendergapThe girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto , California , all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender ( 性别 ) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, "Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving,rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information. "After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow. "Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, "The number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not that they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're incredibly boring. "Purple Moon says it found what girls want, characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says," What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic ( 固有的 ) reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing. "The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.第36题：According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology because __________A.they can not discover new ways to use computersB.they have the same access to computers as boysC.they are likely to be less comfortable with computersD.they can only use computers for word processing【正确答案】：C第37题：The research on girls and computers is __________A.based on a few recent articlesB.presented by one personC.based on thousands of studiesD.not considered well grounded【正确答案】：C第38题：Girls often feel __________A.bored with computer gamesfortable using computersC.it hard to use computers in word processingD.worried about using computers【正确答案】：A第39题：The software company seems to think girls would be more interested if __________A.girls had an equal chance of playing gamesB.the software was more violentC.the software content was changedD.the character were funny【正确答案】：C第40题：The gender gap needs to be closed because __________A.it isn't fair that boys are allowed to use computers all the timeB.there isn't enough money for upgrading computersC.most of the causes may boil down to a question of moneyD.the ability to use computers is important in today's world【正确答案】：DSomething about VocationIf you like to take lots of vacation, the United States is not the place to work. Besides a handful of national holidays, the typical American worker gets two or three precious weeks off out of a whole year to relax and see the world--much less than what people in many other countries receive. And even that amount of vacation often comes with strings attached.So what's going on here?A big reason for the difference is that paid time off is demanded by law in many parts of the world. Germany is among more than two dozen industrialized countries -- from Australia to Japan -- that require employers to offer four weeks or more of paid vacation to their workers, according to a 2009 study by the human resources consulting company Mercer. Finland , Brazil and France are the champions, guaranteeing six weeks of time off. But employers in the United States are not obliged under federal law to offer any paid vacation, so about a quarter of all American workers don't have access to it, government figures show. That makes the U. S. the 0nly advanced nation in the world that doesn't guarantee its workers annual leave.Most U. S. companies, of course, do provide vacation as a way to attract and retain workers. But the fear of layoffs and the ever-faster pace of work mean many Americans are reluctant to be absent from the office-anxious that they might look like they're not committed to their job. Or they worry they won't be able to cope with a pile of work waiting for them after a vacation.Then, there's the way we work.Working more makes Americans happier than Europeans, according to a study published recently in the Journal of Happiness Studies. That may be because Americans believe more than Europeans do that hard work is associated with success.So despite research documenting the health and productivity benefits of taking time off, a long vacation can be undesirable, scary, unrealistic or just plain impossible for many U. S. workers.第41题：According to the passage, the United States is a nation __________A.that prefers relatively longer vacationsB.that has fewer national holidaysC.where workers do not have paid time offD.where employers are not required to offer paid vacation【正确答案】：D第42题：The phrase "with strings attached" (Para. 1 ) probably means “ __________ ”A.with specified conditionsB.with full freedomC.with many optionsD.with work in mind【正确答案】：A第43题：Which of the following countries offers the longest annual leave to its workers?A.Germany.B.Japan.C.France.D.Australia .【正确答案】：C第44题：Many Americans are hesitant to take a vacation because they __________A.are afraid of losing their jobsB.enjoy the fast pace of workC.are devoted to their jobsD.like the challenges in work【正确答案】：A第45题：According to the author, Americans' chance of taking a long vacation is __________A.uncertainB.slimC.goodD.promising【正确答案】：B第5部分：补全短文(第46～50题，每题2分，共10分)A Heroic WomanThe whole of the United States cheered its latest hero,Ashley Smith,with the Federal Bureau of lnvestigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.(1)She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta,Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side."I started walking to my door,and I felt really,really afraid,"she said in a TV interview last week.The man was Brian Nichols,33.He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse(法院)on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent.(2)Nichols tied Smith up with tape,but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life."I told him if he hurt me,my little girl wouldn't have a mummy,"she said.In order to calm the man down,she read to him from"The Purpose-Driven Life",a best-selling religious book.He asked her to repeat a paragraph"about what you thought your purpose in life was-what talents were you given."(3)"I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust,"Smith said.Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her."He said he thought I was an angel sent from God,and we were Christian sister and brogher,"she said."And that he was lost,and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of peopole."(4)She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage(报道)of the police hunt for him."I cannot believe that's me,"Nichols told the woman.Then,Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do.She said,"I think you should turn yourself in.If you don't,lots more people are going to get hurt."Eventually,he let her go.(5)A US$60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols' capture.Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible(有资格的)for that money.A The local police were searching for him.B Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter.C Smith tried very hard to kill Nichols.D She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave.E And the two of them discussed this topic.F Then she called the police.第46题：（46）填空【正确答案】：B第47题：（47）填空【正确答案】：A第48题：（48）填空【正确答案】：E第49题：（49）填空【正确答案】：D第50题：（50）填空【正确答案】：F第6部分：完形填空(第51～65题，每题1分，共15分)Crashed Cars to Text Message for HelpThere is no good place to have a car crash—but some places are worse than others.In a foreign country,for instance,__1__ to explain via cellphone that you are upside down in a ditch when you cannot speak the local language can fatally delay the arrival of the emergency services.But an answer may be at hand.Researchers funded by the European Commission are beginning tests of a system called E-merge that__2__ senses when a car has crashed and sends a text message telling emergency services in the local language that the accident has taken place.The system was __3__ by ERTICO,a transport research organization based in Brussels, Belgium.Cars are fitted with a cellphone-sized device attached__4__the underside of the dashboard which is activated by the same sensor that triggers the airbag in a crash.The device __5__ a cellphone circuit,a GPS positioning unit and a microphone and loudspeaker.It registers the severity of the crash by__6__the deceleration data from the airbag's sensor.

Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: In this part there are four passages．Each passage is followed by five and answer the questions．Read the passage and answer the questions .Then mark your answer on the answer sheet．Passage OneOceanography has been defined as“The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”．Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between．Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings，but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface．The first time that the question‟‟what is at the bottom of the oceans?‟' had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed．The engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured．It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853，for information on this matter．In the 1840s，Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans．Later，some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea．The cable was laid．but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable．At the early attempts，the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths，a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea．Within a few years oceanography was under way．In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition，which lasted four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea．Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report．the last volume being published in 1895．1．The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take onA) an academic aspect B)a military aspectC) a business aspect D)an international aspect2．It was that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A) the American NavyB) some early jntercontinental travelersC) those who earned a living from the seaD) the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable3．The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840 wasA) to make some sounding experiments in the oceansB) to collect sample of sea plants and animalsC) to estimate the length of cable that was neededD) to measure the depths of the two oceans 4．”Defied”in the 5th paragraph probably means““A) doubted B)gave proof to C)challenged D)agreed to5．This passage is mainly aboutA) the beginnings of oceanographyB) the laying of the first undersea cableC) the investigation of ocean depthsD) the early intercontinental communicationsPassage TwoIt has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent．Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa，we are inclined to think that all Africans are musicians．The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators(旁观)．Music is important to us，but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music．We have records，television，concerts，and radio to fulfill many of our musical needs．In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa．Alban Ayipaga，a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana，says that when his flute(长笛)and drum ensemble(歌舞团)is performing．“Anybody can take part'’．This is true，but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music．Some can sing along with the drummers，but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble．It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping，singing，or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound．Performing nucleus and the additional performers，active spectators，and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view．6．The difference between us and Africans，as far as music is concerned，is thatA) most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of musicB) we are musical performers and they are semiprofessional musiciansC) most of us are passive spectators while they are active spectatorsD) we are the audience and they are the additional perfrormers7．The word“such”(Line 6)refers to the fact thatA) music is perforated with the participation of the audienceB) music is performed without the participation of the audienceC) people tend to distinguish the audience from the performersD) people have records，television sets and radio to fulfill their musical needs8．The author of the passage implies thatA) all Africans are musical and therefore much music is performed in AfricaB) nor all Africans are born with musical talent although music is important in their livesC) most Africans are capable ofjoining in the by playing musical instrumentsD )most Africans perform as well as professional musicians9．The word“nucleus”(Line 1 2)probably refers toA) musicians famous in AfricaB) musicians at the center of attentionC) musicians acting as the core in a performanceD active participants in a musical performance10.The best title for this passage would beA、The Importance of Music to African PeopleB、Differences Between African Music and Music of Other CountriesC、The Relationship between Musicians and Their AudienceD、A Characteristic Feature of African Musical PerformancesPassage threeWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it‟s so-and-so‟s fault．’’or“I know I'm late，but it‟s not my fault：the car broke down．”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser．You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However，you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation．This is the winner‟s key to success．Winners are great at overcoming problems．For example，if you were late because your car broke down，maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly．Or，you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers，so you could call for help when in need．For another example，if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability，find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person．Ask to work with a different person，or don‟t rely on the person．You should accept that the person．Ask to work with a different person，or don‟rely on this person．You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well．This is what being a winner is a11 about---creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matte what happens．Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives；they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else．They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents．So，stop focusing on“whose fault it is．”Once you are confident about your power over bad situations，problems are just stepping stop on for success．11．According to the passage，winnersA．deal with problems rather than blame othersB．meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC．have responsible and able colleaguesD．blame themselves rather that others12．The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toA．avoidB．acceptC．improveD．consider13．When your colleague brings about a problem，you shouldA．find a better way to handle the problemB．blame him for his lack of responsibilityC．tell him to find the cause of the problemD．ask a more able colleague for help14．When problems occur，winners take them asA．excuses for their failuresB．barriers to greater powerC．challenges to their colleaguesD．chances for self-development15．which Of the following is the best title for the passage?A．A Winner‟s Secret B．A Winner‟s Problem．C．A Winner‟s Opportunity D．A Winner‟s Achievement．Passage FourMobile office is the mumal product of economic，scientific，and social progress．Mobile office has become a solution that provides users with convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime via the support of mobile interconnection platform(MIP)and its applications systems．When you leave your office to attend meetings or travel on business，what would happen to your business routine? Of course，faxes and e-mails would be still sent to your fax machine or e-mail box，but you cannot read them and make prompt reaction timely．When your clients need you to make some urgent modifications on your work and you are neither in the office nor carrying relevant documents，what can you do? Maybe you have to say“sorry”to the clients．But, your business will be affected，the clients will be unhappy and disappointed because of your delay, and you will lose a lot of business opportunities．In fact，very frequently, you need to check，reply，distribute，display, modify, or read some materials when you are not in your office．You must get out of this dilemma．The best solution to normally handle your business anywhere anytime and not to disappoint your clients is to let your office ”move” with you．Thus，you can have convenient，prompt，safe，reliable，and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime．With the development of communications technology, network application，and wireless interconnection，mobile office has become simpler and smaller, and even can be realized via one mobile phone with data communications function．Thus，mobile office has already been put into your pocket，and office mobility has been realized．Mobile office has provided people with convenient, casual working environment, but at the same time it still has some time it still has some unsatisfactory aspects such as mismatching equipment interface（接口，界面）and inadequate battery. Nevertheless，we believe that with technical progress，people can certainly overcome all kinds of difficulties．Mobile office will make your career unimpeded，and will realize the dream of completely free communication．Users will enjoy more colorful life and better working environment，and users’living standard，working efficiency, and even enterprises’production efficiency will certainly be immensely raised．16．It can be inferred from the passage that ．A．mobile office is the only way by which people could enjoy prompt and safe working environmentB．with the development of science，mobile office comes to our life inevitablyC．people had no convenient and reliable communications and office faculty beforeD．mobile interconnection platform and its application systems is the core of mobile office1 7．We learn from the passage that without mobile office，A．you cannot put your business routine aside or attend meetingsB．you cannot read faxes and e—mails when you travel on businessC．you cannot make apologies to the clients for your delayD．you cannot catch any business opportunities because ofbad working condition1 8．The passage suggests that mobile office is necessary,especially whenA．you need to make some urgent modification on your workB．you need to read and reply faxes and e-mailsC．you are out ofthe office to attend meetingsD．you can put the mobile office into your pocket1 9．Which of the following statement best expresses the main idea of the second paragraph?A．When you leave your office，you should not forget your business routine．B．You will lose a lot of business opportunities if you always delay your work．C．When you leave your office，your business routine would be harmed．D．When you cannot meet the need ofyour clients，you should say”sorry”．20．In the eyes of the author, mobile office .A．has some fatal short comingsB．is too expensive to affordC．would be realized in the futureD．has both advantages and disadvantagesPart II Vocabulary and Structure(共40小题，每题1分，共40分JDirections: In this part they are forty incomplete sentences．Each sentence is followed by four choices．Choose the one that best completes the sentence and then mark your answer on the answer sheet．21．So far we have done a lot to build a low—carbon economy，but it is ideal．We have to work still harder.

第二十九篇“Don’t Drink Alone” Gets New Meaning(B级) In what may be bad news for bars and pubs, an European research grouphas found that people drinking alcohol outside of meals have asignificantly higher risk of cancer in the mouth and neck than do thosetaking their libations with food. Luigino Dal Maso and his colleaguesstudied the drinking patterns of 1,500 patients from four cancer studiesand another 3,500 adults who had never had cancer.After the researchers accounted for the amount of alcohol consumed,they found that individuals who downed a significant share of theiralcohol outside of meals faced at least a 50 to 80 percent risk of cancerin the oral cavity, pharynx, and esophagus, when compared with people whodrank only at meals. Consuming alcohol without food also increased by atleast 20 percent the likelihood of laryngeal cancer. “Roughly 95 percentof cancers at these four sites traced too smoking or drinking by studyvolunteers,” Dal Maso says. The discouraging news his team reports, isthat drinking with meals didn’t eliminate cancer risk at any of the sites.For their new analysis, the European scientists divided people in thestudy into four groups, based on how many drinks they reported having inan average week. The lowest-intake group included people who averaged upto 20 drinks a week. The highest group reported downing at least 56servings of alcohol weekly for an average of eight or more per day. Cancerrisks for the mouth and neck sites rose steadily with consumption evenfor people who reported drinking only with meals. For instance, comparedwith people in the lowest-consumption group, participants who drank 21to 34 alcohol servings a week at least doubled their cancer risk for allsites other than the larynx. If people in these consumption groups tooksome of those drinks outside meals, those in the higher consumption groupat least quadrupled their risk for oral cavity and esophageal cancers.People in the highest-consumption group who drank only with meals had10 times the risk of oral cancer, 7 times the risk of pharyngeal cancer,and 16 times the risk of esophageal cancer compared with those who averaged20 or fewer drinks a week with meals. In contrast, laryngeal cancer riskthe high-intake, with-meals-only group was only triple that in thelow-intake consumers who drank with meals.“Alcohol can inflame tissues. Over time, that inflammation cantrigger cancer.” Dal Maso says. He suspects that food reduced cancer riskeither by partially coating digestive-tract tissues or by scrubbingalcohol off those tissues. He speculates that the reason laryngeal riskswere dramatically lower for all study participants traces to the tissue’slower exposure to alcohol.词汇：cavity n．腔 triple adj．三倍的；n．三倍；v．成三倍pharynx n．咽 serving n．（食物或饮料的）一份pharyngeal adj.咽的 inflame v．使发炎esophagus n．食管 digestive-tract tissue消化道组织esophageal adj．食管的 quadruple vt．成四倍；adj．四倍的larynx n．喉 laryngeal adj．喉的scrub v.．擦净，擦掉注释：1．…than do those taking their libations with food: 这是一个倒装句，其正常语序为than those taking their libations with food do。

It may also play an important role in love. But what is music, and how does it work its magic? Science does not yet have all the answers.What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing ( and many birds sing .better than a lot of people). However,the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals ,have developed musical instruments.Music is strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things -- especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech in a song, it is a very powerful form of communication. But, biologically speaking, what is music?If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language. However, they don't automatically lose their musical abilities. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer, had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak orunderstand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later. On theother hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech. This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.By studying the physical effects of music on the body, scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions. But why does music have such a strong effect on us? That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That's why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone's.mate.For example, singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally ,when a man sings to the woman he loves (or vice versa), it may be a way of showing off.However ,Miller's theory still doesn't explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.注释：1.It is also true that humans，not animals，have developed musical instruments：人研制出了乐器，而动物则不能。

Animals often seem to know in advance that anearthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a quake（地震）in China in 1975 snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. All the unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in earth, alerted （提醒）Chinese scientists to the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It is not an easy job. First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1979, fore example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his stall. The horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It is also difficult sometimes to tell the difference between normal animal calmness and “earthquake nerves.” A zookeeper once told earthquake researchers that his cougar（美洲狮）had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cougar had a stomachache.A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kinds of warning the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism（磁力）of earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict earthquakes.A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were closed in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each sound caused the dogs to bark（吠）wildly. The dogs began to bark during a silent period! A scientist who was recording the quakes looked at his machine. He realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.In this case there was a machine to check what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing out of the ordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we do measure but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know danger signals, is a job for future scientists.16. During an earthquake in China in 1975, some cows had "earthquake nerves" and some remained calm.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17. Chinese scientists moved people away from the coming quake zone after noticing the strange behavior of some animals and physical changes in earth.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned18.

WrongC. Not mentioned20. All animals can sense the very small changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of earth.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned21. The dogs mentioned in the passage sensed both the low booming sounds and the minor quakes following them.概括大意与完成句子The Rights of Animals1. Do animals have rights? This is how the question is usually put. It sounds like a useful, ground-clearing way to start. Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have.2. On one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily follows that animals have none. Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. Therefore animals cannot have rights. The idea of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is absurd; for exactly the same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights. However, this is only on account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies rights not only to animals but also to some people — for instance, to infants, the mentally incapable and future generations. In addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented it: how do you reply to somebody who says "I don't like this contract"?3. The point is this: without agreement on the rights of people arguing about the rights of animals is fruitless. It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all. This is a false choice. Better to start with another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue at all?4. Many deny it. Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice. Any regard for the suffering of animals is seen as a mistake —a sentimental displacement of feeling that should properly be directed to other humans.5. This view which holds that torturing a monkey is morally equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely "logical". In fact it is simply shallow: the confused centre is right to reject it. The most elementary form of moral reasoning — the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl — is toweigh others' interests against one's own. This in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without which there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy. When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.23. Paragraph 1 ________24.

Yoshio and Hiromi Tanaka, a young Japanese couple living in the United States, told the story of their arranged marriage. "We didn't marry for love in the Western sense. We got married in the traditional Japanese way. Our parentsarranged our marriage through a matchmaker（媒人）. In Japan we believe that marriage is something affecting the whole family rather than a matter concerning only the young couple. So we think it is very important to match people according to their social background, education and so on. When our parents thought it was time for us to get married, they went to a local matchmaker and asked her for some suggestions. We discussed the details and looked at the photos she sent, and then our parents asked her to arrange a 'marriage interview' for the two of us."A Japanese marriage interview is held in a public place, such as a hotel or a restaurant, and is attended by the boy and the girl, their parents and the matchmaker. Information about the couple and their families is exchanged over a cup of tea or a meal. Then the boy and the girl are left alone for a short time to get to know each other. When they return home they have to tell the matchmaker whether they want to meet again or not.Yoshio continued, "When our parents realized we were serious about each other, they started to make arrangements for our wedding. My family paid the marriage money to Hiromi's. This is money to help pay for the wedding ceremony and for setting up the house afterwards. We also gave her family a beautiful ornament（装饰品）to put in the best room of their house, so everyone knew that Hiromi was going to marry."31. The Japanese think of the marriage of a young couple as ________A. a sign showing the love between them.B. an opportunity for their parents to show their love for their children.C. a private affair for the boy and the girl.D. an important matter having influence on the whole family.32. In arranging a marriage in Japan, the matchmaker plays all the following roles EXCEPT ________A. making arrangements for the wedding.B. providing the information the families need.C. arranging the "marriage interview".D. attending the "marriage interview".33. According to the passage, the best time to make arrangement for the wedding is ________A. when the young couple agree to meet again.B. when the young couple are sincere about their relation.C. when the parents think it is time for their children go get married.D. when the parents are well-informed about each other's family.34. In the traditional Japanese way of marriage, the marriage money given by the boy's family is used for ________A. the matchmaker's pay.B. the "marriage interview".C. the wedding ceremony and the new house.D. the girl's wedding clothes.35. According to the passage, what plays the most important role in the matching of young people in Japan? ________A. Their parents' attitude.B. Their family background.C. Their occupation.D. Their love for each other.参考答案： 31．D 32．A33．B 34．C 35．B第二篇What Is ShynessPeople often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It's something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, It's a waste of time. I don't mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to function in a social environment.Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he had successfully found a way to deal with it to that extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows, interviews yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality（个性）do. As we grow up and become adults, we have allowed our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten（幼儿园）or elementary school or wherever it was that our shyness first took root in our psyches（心灵）.36. In the author's view, shyness can be defined as ________A. a disease that can be easily cured.B. a not very normal mental condition.C. an emotional disability.D. something we pick up after birth.37. In the eyes of the author, it's a waste of time to ________A. look for ways of doing away with one's shyness.B. develop a healthy personality.C. talk with as many people as possible.D. study where shyness comes from.38. Which of the following is true of Johnny Carson? ________A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience.B. He has done away with his shyness successfully.C. He failed to become a good talk show host.D. He was described as a hero in some legend books.39. The passage tells us that Sally Fields was ________A. proud all the time.B. impolite when young.C. shy in her early years.D. close to Jane Fonda.40. The author thinks that our shyness is there because ________A. we are not open enough.B. we do not feel secure at heart.C. we try to reach out to others all the time.D. we lack certain social skills.参考答案： 36．C 37．A 38．A 39．C 40．B 第三篇Ocean Noise PollutionSome scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land which cause pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of 195 would have the same effect as 120 decibels on land.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of 120 decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed（出血）and become infected（感染）.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of 120 decibels. They say such a limit is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.41. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures? ________A. The sound of a car.B. The sound of voices.C. Man-made noise pollution.D. The sound of steps.42. According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT ________A. sounds made by animals themselves.B. ocean drilling.C. underwater earthquakes.D. the breaking of ice fields.43. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph? ________A. The same noise level produces a difference.B. Different places may have different types of noises.C. The decibel is not a suitable unit for measuring underwater noise.D. Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.44. Which of the following is true of whales? ________A. They won't be confused by noises.B. They are deaf to noises.C. Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.D. Their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.45. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future? ________A. They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B. They will protect animals from harmful noises.C. They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D. They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.参考答案：41．C 42．B 43．A 44．D 45．B 补全短文How to Pass ExamsDo not underestimate（低估）the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. 46 . An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the systemafter months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 47 .Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as "discuss", "compare" and "evaluate". 48 . It is always wise to allow 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical（千篇一律的）answers.49 . If you do need something else to focus on to help you collect your thoughts, choose a fixture（固定设施）in the room, such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted. Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 50 .A. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people's anxiety can be contagious（传染性的）, and you may suffer from undue panicB. Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clockC. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn't understandD. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as importantE. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each questionF. Go and have a well-earned rest and then prepare for your next exam 参考答案： 46．D 47．A 48．E 49．B 50．F 完形填空Customs of the WorldIf you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find just how different the foreign customs can be 51 your own.A visitor to India would do well to remember that peoplethere 52 it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.

The Need to RememberSome people say they have no memory at all："I just can' t remember a thing!" But of course we all have a memory．0ur memory tells us who we are．Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.In fact we have different types of memory．For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly what they have seen，for example, pages of a book，as a complete picture．Our verbal（言语的）memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula，dates，or a recipe．With our emotional（情感的）memory，we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness．We also have special memories for smell，taste，touch and sound，and for performing physical movements．We have two ways of storing any of these memories：Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we dial．Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may store items for a lifetime．Older people in fact have a much better-long-term memory than short-term．They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance（记忆）of when they were very young．Psychologists tell us that we only remember few facts about our past, and that we invent the rest．It is as though we remember only the outline of a story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past-or maybe victims needing sympathy（同情）．16 Visual memory helps us recall a place we have been to．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 Visual memory may be used when we read a story．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Verbal memory helps us read words we have never heard．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Emotional memory is used when we perform physical movements．27 The ancient Greeks believed that their could be cured by telling their dreams．28 Most scientists believe that dreams have something to do with in our daily life．29 If you dream of driving a large car，it could mean that you want ．30 When people are not allowed to dream during sleep，they become ．A powerB quiet and happyC eventsD experimentsE diseasesF worried and nervous第4部分：阅读理解（第31-45题，每题3分，共45分）下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。
