They hoped that people would act quickly in order to conserve（保护） nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man. It is said that there are tens of thousands of kinds of animals in the world, but now many have died out（绝种）. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the futurePerhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now”The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river.

Nisha Nagarkatti, 17, was one of threetop winners at the 1999 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.Nisha's interest in science goes way back to when she was a little kid hanging aroundthe laboratories at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, where both her parentsare professors. As she got older, Nisha began getting involved in research.The biological experiments that won Nisha the Intel prize involved proteins that occuron certain cells in the human body. One protein, called fas ligand, occurs on tumorcells.Nisha examined those cells in the thymus, a gland beneath the human breastbone thatproduces hormones and infection-fighting ceils. She discovered that when the two proteinsinteract, something called apoptosis happens in the immune cells. Apoptosis is a process inwhich a cell's DNA breaks apart and the cells die.Nisha also experimented with chemicals called apoptosis inhibitors. What she did wasput tumor cells and immune ceils together and then administer apoptosis inhibitors. Herfinding: Far fewer of the immune cells died.Choose the best answer.69.

Astonishing tuition increases in some universitiesB. A raise in U. S. university tuitionC. Reasons for state not to fund higher educationD. Result of cuts in state fundingE. An escape hatch for lawmakersPublic university students nationwide are likely to have larger classes, longer lines and fewer course selection when they return to campus in a few weeks. And they'll be paying more for it. In all but a handful of states, tuition is going up at four-year public universities, which educate 40% -- the largest share -- of thenation's 15 million college students.Blame it on cuts in state funding, which have forced public institutions in many states to begin the new academic year with less money than they had last year, forget noble ideas about enhancing quality; many university leaders say they are just trying to get by as best they can.Most institutions have held tuition and fee increases to single digits（个位数）, but some increases are astonishing. University of Kansas students in Lawrence are getting hit with a 21% increase. The price tag for freshmen at Texas A&M University is up 260%. Studentsat the University of South Carolina in Columbia will pay 17% more than last year.That state funding for higher education gets reduced when times are tough comes as no surprise to those educators who have been through reductions before. That's because states, which are required to balance their budgets each year, are not legally obliged to fund higher education. And, unlike Medicaid and elementary and secondary education, which compete with universities for funding, higher education has a convenient alternative source of income, students and their families." As much as lawmakers don't like raising tuition, they know it's their escape hatch(摆脱困境的出路) ," says Travis Reindl, a policy analyst at the American.

Despite his effort, they would always find something 20with the puppets he had made, and they ended up 21him out of the workshop.He wasn’t going to 22, so the young man decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. And whenever he found a 23in his puppet he would throw it away and 24again right from the starting-point. Years passed, and with each 25attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By now, his puppet was much 26than anything his old fellow apprentices could make, but he 27making improvements. 28like that, the man wasn’t making any money, and many people laughed at how 29he was.By the time he was an old man, his 30was truly wonderful.

The hunting of pandas has been banned for many years, so this is not the problem. Destruction of its habitat, when areas are cleared for crop cultivation (耕种), is one of the main reasons for the panda’s decline. Another reason is that the bamboo on which they mainly feed, is dying back. The pandas find it difficult to migrate (迁徙) to new feeding areas because they find themselves surrounded by human settlements. As the bamboo disappears, the pandas simply starve to death.Bamboo is a poor source of food, and a panda has to eat up to 45kg of it every day, a process that takes it up to 16 hours. The process goes on day and night, with the pandas in a constant cycle of eating for eight hours and sleeping for four hours. The panda’s digestive (消化) system is poorly adapted to its diet of bamboo, so they only digest the equivalent of one hour’s worth of food every day. The rest of the nutrients are lost. Pandas are essentially animals that eat meat but are too slow to catch most live animals. They can eat other foods, but would rather starve than change their diet when bamboo becomes rare.Giant pandas are very good climbers, and they use this skill to escape from predators (捕食者). They are flat-footed and ungainly (笨拙地) when on the ground, but are able to move silently and very quickly through networks of tunnels in the bamboo.Twelve panda reserves have been established in China, the largest of which has an area of 2000 square kilometers, and has a population of 100 pandas. Plans are in place to link the reserves with bamboo corridors to allow the animals to migrate from one reserve to another.Chinese and American scientists are studying giant pandas and their habits in order to put a major conservation programme in place. Zoos around the world are participating in panda breeding programmes. There is still hope that with human beings’ help, giant pandas can survive in the wild.36. The greatest threat to the giant pandas is .A. humans beings’ huntingB. the destruction of their habitatsC. the disappearance of the bambooD. the increasing human population37. Pandas spend most of their time .A. eatingB. sleepingC. climbing treesD. catching other animals38. How can pandas get away from the dangers?A. By fighting.B. By hiding.C. By climbing.D. By running.39. In Chinese panda reserves, pandas have difficulty in .A. keeping their natureB. finding places to liveC. bearing more babiesD. moving from one feeding area to anotherBOrganic(有机的) foods are foods produced according to strict guidelines made by the government. These guidelines state that organic foods must be produced without modern man-made processes and materials, such as man-made pesticides (农药), chemical fertilizers or chemical additives (添加剂).In the past almost all the foods were organic. However, during the 20th century, the principles of the Industrial Revolution were used in agriculture. This led to the development of many man-made processes that were believed to improve farming skills and bring in good harvests.Over time, the organic movement started to get back to the old methods of farming. Those who support organic foods believe that the man-made chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to people’s health. They also believe that organic foods are naturally more nutritious (营养的).Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years. Many people find it interesting that scientists have yet found a significant difference between organic and non-organic foods in terms of safety, nutrition and tastes.If you go to a grocery store, you will notice that organic foods are more expensive than non-organic foods. This is because the government requires organic food producers to get special permission for their products.Are organic foods worth the extra cost? Some people believe they are. Despite the lack of scientific findings to support their thought, many people still prefer organic foods. Some people believe they taste better, while others prefer to eat food that has not been made or processed using man-made chemicals.If you wonder whether you should choose an organic food instead of a non-organic one, the best thing you can do is try it yourself and see which one you prefer. Although organic foods were once only bought in health food stores, people today can find them at most grocery stores.40. The author writes the first paragraph in order to .A. introduce the strict guidelinesB. explain what organic foods areC. show modern man-made food processesD. warn people of pesticides and fertilizers41. Old methods of farming are ones that .A. can be used to produce healthy foodsB. are probably harmful to people’s healthC. help farmers get better harvestsD. are used widely during the 20th century42. People prefer to eat organic foods probably because they .A. are expensiveB. can be kept longerC. have a good tasteD. can be cooked easily43. According to the last paragraph, the author holds the view that .A. organic foods are better than non-organic onesB. it is easy for people to buy organic foods nowC. non-organic foods are cheaper than organic onesD. not everyone can afford organic foodsCAmerica is the world’s largest food exporter (出口商). But the worst drought in half a century is hitting corn and wheat harvests.Experts say by twenty-fifty, the world will have to produce at least sixty percent more food to feed a population growing bigger and richer. China, a major food importer, is looking to producers around the world to guarantee(保证) future food supplies.The severe drought in the United States is adding to concern about world food supplies and prices. China has invested in food production in Australia and New Zealand. A new source of supply is Ukraine. Ukraine was known as the breadbasket of Europe because of rich corn and wheat harvests a century ago.Galyna Kovtok is chief executive of Ukraine’s largest agricultural business, ULF. She predicts that within a few months her company will be approved to export corn to China. That will make Ukraine the first country outside the Americas to do so.ULF will soon have almost two million tons of elevator storage capacity (仓库储存能力) as it prepares for the Chinese market. Chinese money is financing the building of six grain elevators.ULF’s grain production per hectare is now halfway between Ukr ainian averages and the high yields of the American Midwest. But farming depends onthe weather. Across the Black Sea region — in Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan —drought this year is pushing harvests down by fifteen to twenty percent.Traditionally, the Black Sea region is the main source of wheat for North Africa and the Middle East. But this year, on the supply side, Russia may have to suspend exports. And, on the demand side, Africa and the Middle East are now competing with China.44. We can infer from the passage that America .A. has a good wheat harvest this summerB. will import wheat from other countriesC. suffers a lot from the drought this yearD. won’t be the world’s largest food exporter any more45. China is investing in Ukraine mainly to .A. guarantee China’s future food suppliesB. help the poor people thereC. build up a good relation with UkraineD. compete with Africa and the Middle East46. The underlined word “suspend” in the last paragraph means “”.A. increaseB. encourageC. protectD. stopDI don’t want to brag (吹嘘), OK, maybe I do want to a little. I have two very smart daughters. My oldest is 7 and she is one of the best students in her second grade class and my youngest, who is 2, is learning new things every day. When it comes to their cleverness, I believe that’s due to their love of reading.When my wife and I first became parents, we were told by a number of people that the best thing we could do for our kids was to encourage them to read. And, we stuck with that. However, with things like television and video games out there, we did find it was sometimes hard to make books seem more interesting. But, we did succeed with both of them by doing a few different things.One of the first things we did was reading to them. My youngest daughter can’t read books herself yet and is read to. But, I also take the time to read to my oldest daughter, too. Not only is this a great way to bond with your kids and make them like you, it also introduces them to a world that they might not otherwise realize. One thing I do recommend is making sure you plan ahead so you have plenty of time to read more than one book if they want it. This allows you to read their favorite stories while mixing in something new, too.Another thing I started doing with my oldest daughter is having her read to her younger sister. This makes her practice reading out loud something she gets to do at school and loves to and I’ve noticed my 2-year-old seems to pay closer attention to the stories for some reason. In fact, it’s one of the few times they can be left alone together for more than a few minutes without fighting. The second thing we do with our kids is we challenge them to read outside their level. In addition to books that are more for her age group, I have given my oldest daughter books that are a little more complicated (复杂的). I do this so she doesn’t get bored with “kids” books. For example, the other day, I had her try to read a Sherlock Holmes story. It was a bit hard. But, she did understand it enough and she wanted to read it again with my help.I also encourage her to read newspapers and magazines. I do the same thing when I read to my youngest daughter and will sometimes borrow one of her sister’s books. So far, she’s still paying attention when I read them. Third, and most important, I let them be kids and consider their interests. Reading is a great thing. But, you can get too much of a great thing, too. So, in addition to having them read on a regular basis, I let them mix in television, video games, etc. This keeps reading a bit more exciting for them because they like reading the books that they want to rather than think I’m forcing them to read instead of letting them do other things.47. What makes the author feel difficult is .A. how his children improve their reading and writingB. that the author’s youngest daughter can’t read booksC. how to keep TV and video from bothering his childrenD. how he finds interesting and good books for his kids48. What does the underlined phrase “bond with your kids” in Para.3 mean?A. Having a good relationship with your kids.B. Encouraging your children to learn a lot.C. Making your kids feel very happy.D. Making your kids live freely.49. Why does the author let his oldest daughter read a Sherlock Holmes story?A. His oldest daughter likes the books that adults read.B. The author wants his daughter not to lose her interest in reading.C. The author wants to know whether his daughter can understand it.D. The author wants to show off his daughter’s reading ability.50. According to the author, which of the following ways are helpful to kids’ reading?① Letting kids watch TV and play games.② Forcing kids to read instead of letting them do other things.③ Encouraging kids to read newspapers and magazines.④ Having older kids read to younger ones.A. ①②③B. ②③④C. ①②④D. ①③④四、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Fill in each of the blanks with the word of phrase that best fits the context. (15×1’=15’) Students who are learning English are often puzzled: 46 England is often called by other names.

England is the largest and 56 of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name 57 the whole island.There is another thing also 58 people; sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island”. That is the 59 name of the country. Northern Ireland is 60 one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state called The Republic of Ireland.46.

Reading comprehension. (10×2’=20’)ALike many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching t he industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries （推理小说）, and many buyers spent more $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in coll ege, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”61．When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that ____.A. they had to put their plan into practiceB. health was more important than wealthC. heart trouble was a serious illnessD. they both needed to stop working62．After Mary got well from her illness they began _____.A. to study industrial managementB. to buy and read more mystery booksC. to do market research on book businessD. to work harder to save money for the bookstore63．How did their bookstore do in the first year?A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.B. They made just enough to cover all the costs.C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.D. They failed though they worked hard.64．According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is _____.A. to pa y for their children’s educationB. to get to know more writersC. to set up more bookstoresD. to do what they like to doBTHEATRECity VarietiesThe Headrow, Leeds.Tel.430808Oct10-11only, A Night at the Varieties.

We may learn from the text that Sue Townsend is ____.A. a writerB. an actressC. a musicianD. a directorCWhen someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. In-deed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite （胃口）and better sleep patterns. "People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness," says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear, and allow people to feel more energetic."So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of some thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr. Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.”Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person' s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear even love. To gain perspec tive, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.68. The text is mainly written to explain _______.A. how to keep yourself from being hurtB. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to pardon others69. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A. Try to figure out why you get hurt.B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.70. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ______.A. we are not patient enoughB. we’d f eel worse accepting others' apologyC. people seldom want to apologizeD. people don’t mean it when they apologize第二部分(共40分)Ⅳ.

Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best to apply to go abroad.There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studies abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live alone without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Of course the costs are much higher there than at home.In my opinion advantages are more than disadvantages. So it is a good idea to attend schools abroad.。

It acts like amobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it’s useless.〝Little Smart〞, also called〝_iaolingtong〞, has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it ismore like one of those cordless phones(无绳电话) usedaround the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further thanfrom the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city.Cheap costs are themain reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for theline and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand,can cost four or five times as much. What’s more, unlike mobile phones, there’sno fee(费) for incoming calls. So these low chargeshave attracted many users.But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Usersoften complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stationsto pick up its signals(信号)as there are for mobiles. 〝I couldn’t receive a phone call if I was on a bus,〞 said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. 〝Itworked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.〞Scientists are trying tomake Little Smart more user friendly.

It happened a few minutes past three, 46 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 47 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 48 to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 49 with lots of unexpected challenges. We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.50 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of 51 difficulties. We came to learn that something 52 could happen in a disaster . All over the world people 53 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a 54 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 55 had been received and sorted.As 56 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us 57 and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 58 ourselves.

These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so 62 we offer one of them to you.Dear Chris,My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 63 accident last week.

Then from across the street someone came walking.It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest to the child’s house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly，but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a woman’s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child’s house. She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing(楼梯平台). She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs, and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small washroom that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child’s bed and the child.66. The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that ______.A. a woman was driving the carB. someone was standing by a street lamp.C. a man and a woman were walking up the street.D. a woman was walking by herself up the street.67. After the woman closed the front door, she ___________.A. looked round quicklyB. started breathing againC. rested before movingD. walked straight towards the front door68. When she was upstairs, the woman _______.A. saw that there was a wash-basin in each roomB. noticed a mirror which she was looking forC. found a torch in one of the roomsD. opened four different doors69. Once she was in the house, the woman behaved as if what she was looking for ____A. might be in the kitchenB. was more likely to be upstairsC. would be easily seen by the light from the hallD. would look frightening to a childBHi, everybody !Welcome to our newly-opened Richards Cinema Bookstore!Now let me introduce to you some of the new film books in our store.Are you Chinese film fans?

Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活)if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear themdown. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand , rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing —very, very slowly —as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that :have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.74. Many plants may survive in deserts when___________.A. the rain is spread out in a yearB. the rain falls only in a few weeksC. there is little rain in a yearD. it is dry all the year round75.

For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket.I held out my hand with the money in it — one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home — I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so called “reality programmes”.I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.Yours faithfully,Chris Daniels78. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.C. To express his appreciation of the programme.D. To have his story told on the programme.79. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to .A. describe how painful his early experience wasB. draw a direct response from Alison BurnhamC. show how the programme made him thinkD. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson80. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because .A. he hadn’t got a return ticketB. he had lost his bus ticketC. he didn’t like big crowdsD. he missed the bus home81. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?A. He should have told the conductor then.B. He should have been well treated.C. He regrets going to school alone.D. He wishes it hadn’t happened.ET-shirts out; uniforms inSchool uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down.As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes,for a time, the symbol (象征) of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity.” First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.82. In Paragraph 1, the word “benefits” probably means .A. tasksB. messagesC. differencesD. advantages83. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general .A. prevent the wearers from being laughed atB. help the wearers keep their duties in mindC. are seen as a symbol of powerD. help to create social barriers84. Some people are against school uniforms because .A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniformsB. they believe that uniforms will make students less creativeC. they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriersD. they think that school uniforms are too popular85. The author would probably agree that .A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or notB. students’ individuality may not come from school educationC. students’ creativity is related to the clothes they chooseD. school uniforms help to create equality among students第四部分：单词拼写 10’86.

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)Industry can often bring progress, but it can sometimes bring pollution and other dan gers as well. In the nineteen seventies, an accident happened in a small town in the north of England. A chemical factory exploded(爆炸). Twenty-eight people were killed in the disaster(灾难), and more than a hundred were injured. The factory was destroyed, and the roofs of some houses in the town were torn off. The fire that followed the explosion burned for two days. It sent up huge clouds of smoke that were seen thirty miles away.After the explosion, a lot of people immediately thought of going to the town and helping their friends. Others were only interested in watching the firemen.41. What is the passage about?A. Industry.B. Pollution.C. Factory.D. Firemen.42.

After the explosion, _______.A. all the people nearby went to helpB. not all the people nearby went to helpC. all the people nearby just watched the firemenD. even the firemen refused to help(B)One silly question I simply can't understand is ' How do you feel?', usually the question I asked of a man's action—a man on the go, walking along the street or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He'll prob ably say,' Fine, I'm all right.’, but you've put a bug in his ear — maybe now he's not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked(忽略) that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else ' How do you feel?'Every question has its time and place. It's perfectly acceptable, for example, to ask ' How do you feel?’ if you're visiting a close friend in hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no time to ask him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, ' How do you feel?' Shaw put him in his place. 'When you reach my age,' he said, 'either you feel all right or you're dead. '46. According to the author, greetings such as ' How do you feel?'_______.A. show one's consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in actionD. generally make one feel uneasy47. The question ' How do you feel?' seems to be correct and suitable when asked olA. a man working at his deskB. a person having lost a close friendC. a stranger who looks worriedD. a friend who is ill48. The author seems to feel that a busy man should_______.A. be praised for his effortsB. never be asked any questionC. not be bothered(烦扰)D. be discouraged from working so hard49. George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows his_______.A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. kindnessD. politeness50. 'you've put a bug in his ear' means that you've_______.A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warning(C)The national Weather Service at Ryan Airport announced the following forecast(预报.)

While researching consumers’response to his product, he asked, ‚Ships are commonly referred to as ‘she’ or ‘her’. What gender (性别) would you give to your computer? Give four reasons to support your answer.A large group of women reported that the computers should be referred to as ‚he‛ or ‚him‛ because:1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.2. They have a lot of data, but are still hard to understand.3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are problems.4. As soon as you buy one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model.The men, on the other hand, said that computers should be referred to as ‚she‛ or ‚her‛ because:1. The language they use to communicate with other computers is impossible to understand for most men.2. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in the long-term memory and willbe remembered forever.3. As soon as you get one, you find yourself spending half your money on accessories (附件) for it.21.
