Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be
Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a __41__ statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze without being rude, or __42__. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you __43__ do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no __44__. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye __45__, what sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls "a dimming of the lights." You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person __46__ uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the __47__. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he __48__, "I know you", "I am interested in you," or "You look peculiar and I am __49__ about you." This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

It’s OK now.‖ Because of the __51__, every one of the 100 listeners had heard him. But the lecturer __52__ his topic and the Japanese who were present were calm as if __53__ had happened.
At 8 o’clock in the evening, after all the topics of the meeting had been discussed as __54__, the host __55__ another one, inviting an officer to __56__ the people present of the earthquake just now. ―An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of six on the Richter scale shock north Japan’s Niigata Prefecture just now. We haven’t know the __57__ casualties(伤亡情况) yet. Some civilian houses __58__, and highways had been out of __59__. Sendai is 300 kilometres away from Niigata, so we in Sendai had a strong __60__ of shaking.‖These words were of mental __61__ for all the listeners; there is no trace of panic on the scene __62__ aftershocks were felt.
Immediately after I went back to my station, I __63__ on the TV and found that many channels were reporting on the __64__ news of this earthquake.

Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
This bird has feathers that look like jewels in the sunlight, and it flies so fast that you can’t see how its wings move. What is this tiny creature? It is the hummingbird(蜂鸟)!
Most hummingbirds beat their wings from 55 to 80 times a second! This speed makes an interesting sound. It helps the hummingbird in many important ways. A hummingbird can fly sideways. It can even fly upside down! This fancy flying helps this tiny bird get its food.
The hummingbird eats nectar, the sugary juice found inside most flowers. Because it is too large to land on the petals(花瓣), it must hover(停留在空中) in mid-air while it dines on the flower’s nectar. Its small size and fast wing speed make hovering possible. It uses its long, narrow bill and tongue to reach deep into the center of a flower and lick up the liquid sugar. Then the hummingbird quickly flies sideways to the next flower.
Being one of the fastest birds around is hard work. The hummingbird’s heart beats from 200 to 1,200 times every minute. The hummingbird needs plenty of energy to fly from flower to flower. To get enough energy, a hummingbird must eat about every ten minutes. Most hummingbirds will eat insects, but they like nectar the most. Nectar from flowers is mostly sugar. The sugar gives a hummingbird the quick bursts of energy it needs to keep moving.
The hummingbird mother raises her family by herself. She builds a nest from plant materials. On the outside, most hummingbird nests are about the size of a quarter. Before long, two eggs fill the nest. Each egg is the size of a bean.
Before winter arrives, many hummingbirds migrate(迁移). Some fly very long distances. A biologist named Gayle Brown studied these interesting birds. She put bands on their legs to track them. One banded hummingbird was on Vancouver Island near Washington. A few weeks later, scient ists in southern New Mexico caught the same bird. That’s a long way for such a small creature to travel.
65．Hummingbird stay in the air while they eat because _____.
A. the flowers can sometimes be harmful
B. they can’t stay at one place for long
C. the other hummingbirds want the sugar
D. they cannot land on the petals
66．What does the underlined word ―It‖ in the second paragraph refer to?
A. An interesting sound.
B. Wing speed.
C. Small size.
D. Nectar 67．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Hummingbird are found in New Mexico.
B. Hummingbird eggs are the size of a bean.
C. Hummingbirds need to eat often to get enough energy.
D. Hummingbirds will sometimes eat insects.
68．Gayle Brown put bands on hummingbirds because she wanted to _____.
A. see how far they fly
B. know how much they grow
C. know what flowers they like best
D. find where they build a nest

（C）
The sun's changing energy levels are not to blame for recent global warming and, if anything, solar variations over the past 20 years should have had a cooling effect, scientists have said.
Their findings add to a growing body of evidence that human activity, not natural causes, lies behind rising average world temperatures, which are expected to reach their second highest level this year since records began in the 1860s.
There is little doubt that solar variability has influenced the Earth's climate in the past and may well have been a factor in the first half of the last century, but British and Swiss researchers said it could not explain recent warming. Over the past 20 years, all the trends in the sun that
could have had an influence on Earth's climate have been in the opposite direction to that required to explain the observed rise in global mean temperatures.
Most scientists say emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly from burning fossil(化石的) fuels in power plants, factories and cars, are the prime cause of the current warming trend. A decreasing group pins the blame on natural variations in the climate system, or a gradual rise in the sun's energy output.
In order to unpick that possible link, researchers studied factors that could have forced climate change in recent decades, including variations in total solar irradiance and cosmic rays.
The data was smoothed to take account of the 11-year sunspot cycle, which affects the amount of heat the sun emits but does not impact the Earth's surface air temperature, due to the way the oceans absorb and retain heat.
They concluded that the rapid rise in global mean temperatures seen since the late 1980s could not be ascribed to solar variability, whatever mechanism was invoked.
At present there is a small minority which is seeking to deliberately confuse the public on the causes of climate change. They are often misrepresenting the science, when the r eality is that the evidence is getting stronger every day.[来源:学,科,网Z,X,X,K]
The 10 warmest years in the past 150 years have all been since 1990 and a United Nations climate panel, drawing on the work of 2,500 scientists, said this year it was ―very likely‖ human activities were the main cause.
72. In the past 20 years, solar variations should have _____.
A. made the earth warm
B. cooled the earth a little
C. prevented the earth from moving around the sun
D. slowed the movement of the earth itself
73. The word ―mean‖ in Paragraph 3 probably means ―_____‖.
A. average
B. not generous
C. poor
D. cruel
74. Why is sunspot cycle taken into account?
A. Because it can increase the earth’s surface air temperature.
B. Because it can reduce the earth’s surface air temperature.
C. Because it can increase or reduce the amount of heat the sun gives off.
D. Because it can help the ocean to store heat.
75. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?
A. The Sun Is Not To Blame for the Global Warming
B. Humans Have No Ways but to Suffer from Global Warming
C. Global Warming Becomes a Headache Problem to Humans
D. Global Warming Is an Unavoidable Trend
Section C
Directions:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
believe I ’ve progressed over the years, and things that used to get me bothered now just float past me. I still get upset, of course, but not nearly as much as I used to. Here are some tips that might help you become more patient:
76.
This is the first strategy, if you have real problems with patience: start by simply keeping a record on a little sheet of paper every time you lose your patience. This is one of the most effective and important methods for controlling an impulse – by learning to become more aware of it. Once you become aware of your impulses, you can work out an alternative reaction.
77. As you become more aware of losing your patience, pay close attention to the things that cause you to lose that patience. Is it when your co-worker does something particularly annoying? When your spouse leaves dirty dishes unwashed? When your child doesn ’t clean up his/her mess? Certain causes will happen more frequently than others – these are the things you should focus on the most.
78. This one really works. When you first start to lose your patience, take a deep breath, and breathe to the impulse to yell or do 79. with something small and – not something that triggers for now. Work on ’ll get there. 80. Joe Bauer got the call on a Friday afternoon. A 10-year-old dog named Oscar was seriously sick because of a particular cancer in dogs, and had been given only three months, at best, to live. The dog ’s owners were heartbroken and planned to have Oscar put down the next day.
Instead, Bauer, who was a scientist at the Cleveland Clinic ’s Center, shipped an experimental cancer drug free-of-charge to Oscar ’s vet, which means he registered Oscar in a trial that could end up benefiting not only suffering dogs but humans as well.
Treating dogs as a prelude to finding new cancer drugs for humans is an idea that is catching on.
―Dogs are benefiting more and more as people recognize the value of studying new cancer
treatment---not just drugs---in dogs,‖ said Bauer. ―There are a couple of reasons why dogs are so good.‖
For one thing, the mice usually studied in cancer research are genetically bred to develop cancers. Dogs, like humans, spontaneously(自发的) develop cancers.
Also, not only are dogs similar to humans in their genetic makeup, they are also influenced by the same environmental factors that humans are.
Experimental drugs might get response rates of 80 percent or higher in mice, but that figure often drops to 10 or 15 percent when applied to humans, added Bauer.[来源:Z*xx*https://www.doczj.com/doc/919684186.html,] It’s been five years since Oscar’s death-sentence, and he’s still going strong. Since then, three other dogs have been treated and have responded to the drug, without any negative reactions, Bauer said.
―There’s a great inequality for drugs available for animal use and those available for human use,‖ Bauer said. ―Most of those used to treat dogs and other pets were developed in the 1950s.‖Bauer added, ―This helps animal patients have access to treatments they wouldn’t have access to otherwise. We look at this as benefit to both species.‖
(N ote: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
81. For how many days was Oscar believed to live five years ago?
82. The underlined phrase ―catching on‖ in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
83. From the text we can learn that dogs only recently have access to drugs_____.
84. Why are dogs chosen for studying new cancer treatment?

Part II Passages:
Passage A
Yesterday evening, the city was in darkness for six hours. Just after eight o’clock the city’s electricity supply was cut off, causing problems throughout the city. As a result, nine people were hurt.
The blackout was caused by a technical fault in the electrical power system. Technicians started working on the problem at once but explained that it would be hours before the fault could be fixed and services returned to normal.
No traffic lights were working, which caused problems on the roads. Five people were sent to
hospital after being injured in car accidents. Police were placed at every important crossing to direct traffic and they quickly brought the situation under control.
Hospitals and large supermarkets used their own emergency generators and therefore experienced few problems. However, all small shops had to shut early as well as restaurants and places of entertainment.
It is now quite clear that the government needs to reconsider the power needs of the city, so as to avoid such blackouts in the future.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
11. How many people were hurt? B
12. Why did the blackout happen? C
13. Why were some people taken to hospital? C
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following report.
Once there was a little boy named Dick Whittington. His mother and father were dead. He was an orphan. Somebody told him that the streets of London were covered with gold. Dick walked all the way to London, but did not fine any gold. He did not even like London, so he began to walk back to where he lived. With him was his only friend, a cat. As he sat on a stone to rest, he heard some bells ringing in London. They seemed to say, ―Turn back, Whittington, Lord Mayor of London.‖
Dick turned back to London and he found a job with a rich merchant working in his kitchen. In the room where he slept there were many rats and his cat had a job catching them all.
One day, the merchant was sending a ship to Africa. ―We are all sending goods to trade. What have you to trade?‖ he asked Dick. ―Only my cat,‖ said Dick.
The cat was put on the ship which sailed to Africa. There a rich man had many rats and paid a lot of money for the cat. The ship’s captain brought the money home to Dick Whittington. Dick then traded more goods which he bought with this money. Together with the merchant, the boy who was once poor, became rich.
Ten years later, the King of England made Dick Lord Mayor of London. The bells of London had been right.
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following report.
14. What was Dick Whit tington told? C
15. How did Dick first get a lot of money? B
16. Why does it say, ― The bells of London had been right‖? B

Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Could I have my bill, please?
W: Yes, sir. One moment, please. ……. Here is your bill.
M: Could you kindly explain this to me? What is item 6?
W: Perhaps I c ould go through it for you. The first item is the cover charge. Number 2 is the beer.
Then your starter, your main course and the vegetables. The main course was 4 dollars 50 , not
3 dollars 50, so item 6 is the difference.
M: Oh, I see. But how was I expected to know that?
W: Yes, sir. They are a bit hard to follow sometimes. Number 8 is your dessert and number 9 the cigarettes. Oh, and number 7 is you second beer.
M: And what about the service, is that included?
W: Yes, that’s marked down here, 10 per cent service.
M: Good. Thank you. Now, can you take my credit card?
W: I’m afraid we don’t accept credit cards.
M: Oh, dear. What about a cheque with a banker’s card?
W: Yes, sir. That will be all right.

W: No, Steve. What do you mean?
M: You know all the classes we’ve missed because of the snow?
W: Uh oh …
M: Yup – we’re going to have to make them up and the dean says it will have to be during the spring break.
W: Steve! We have our vacation all set! What are we going to do? Do the others know?
M: I don’t know, but I certainly can’t afford to miss five days of classes this semester, with that week I was sick…
W: But I really don’t want to cancel our trip. All of us have already made our plane reservations! M: I can try to call the travel agency; maybe they can refund our money. But before we do anything we need to speak with our professors.
W: You think they’ll excuse us from class?
M: Probably not. But I was talking to Kevin this morning and he said one of his professors told him that they could make up the class at a different time.
W: Wow – tha t’s great! Which professor was it?
M: I don’t know. But we’re going to have to speak to all of them anyway.
W: Why don’t they add extra days at the end of the semester before summer?
M: Because of the graduation date, which can’t be changed.
W: Are other colleges around here doing the same thing?
M: I would imagine so – it’s been such a bad winter and we’ve missed so many classes. We do really need to make them up.
W: I know, I know. I was just really looking forward to this vacation. The idea of the sun and the beach!
M: Oh look, there’s Professor Hampton right now!

2009年福建省高考英语考试说明 2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（课程标准实验版·英语）福建卷考试说明（以下简称《考试说明》）根据普通高中新课程和新课程背景下高考的改革要求，按照稳步推进、逐步完善的精神，在《2008年福建省高考语文·数学·英语三科考试说明》的基础上，对部分内容进行调整。调整或变化部分主要有：1.词汇量；2.题型；3.阅读量；4.书面表达词数。其他部分在文字表述上也作了一些补充、修改。 Ⅰ. 命题指导思想 普通高等学校招生全国统一考试是由合格的高中毕业生和具有同等学力考生参加的选拔性考试。2009年福建省英语试卷命题应以教育部颁布的《普通高中英语课程标准（实验）》（以下简称《课程标准》）、《普通高等学校招生全国统一考试考试大纲（英语·课程标准实验版）》，以及福建省教育厅颁布的《福建省普通高中新课程教学要求》（英语）为指导，以《2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试福建省英语科考试说明》为依据，并结合我省普通高中新课程英语教学实际。命题应有利于高校科学公正地选拔人才，有利于推进普通高中实施素质教育。命题应体现普通高中新课程的基本理念，体现对知识与技能、过程与方法、情感态度与价值观等课程目标的要求，力求稳步推进，适度创新。命题应遵循以下原则： 1．命题不拘泥于某一种或某一版本的教材，应着重考查考生的综合语言运用能力，充分体现《课程标准》中对语言知识、语言技能、文化意识、情感态度与学习策略等方面所做的要求。 2．以考生为本，命题所选语言材料应符合考生的生活经验、学习特点和认知水平，应力求题材丰富、体裁多样、语言地道；贴近时代、贴近社会、贴近生活。 3．命题应在试卷结构、难易度等方面体现平稳过渡的原则，试题内容应科学、严谨，公平，适度体现开放性。试题答案科学、准确，评分标准合理、公正。试卷应具有较高的信度、效度及良好的区分度。 Ⅱ. 关于考试要求的说明 一、语言知识 为了体现普通高中新课程的理念和要求及命题科学性、合理性的需要，我省《考试说明》收录了《课程标准》附录中的语音、语法、功能意念、话题等项目表。为了减轻学生负担，实现平稳过渡，根据我省的实际情况，对《课程标准》附录词汇表中的七、八级共约3500个单词进行了适当的调整，列为附录。经调整后，共收七级词汇约2500个（详见附录五）；八级词汇约650个（详见附录六）以及数词、月份、星期、主要国家名称及相关信息等词汇（详见附录七、八、九、十）总计约3200个单词。 二、语言运用 1. 听力 听力是与外国人直接交往中必不可少的一种语言能力。该部分要求考生听懂有关日常生活中所熟悉的话题的简短的对话或独白，考生应能： (1)理解主旨要义 任何一段对话或独白总会围绕一个主旨或者一个中心思想展开。有时，主旨要义会比较明确，有时则会贯穿整个对话或独白，需要考生自己去归纳、概括。 (2)获取事实性的具体信息 为了说明和支持主旨，对话或独白中总会出现一些具体信息，如时间、地点、人物等。这些信息是理解和把握对话或独白的主旨必不可少的内容，也常常是听力部分的重点考查项目。 (3)对所听内容作出简单推断
