It belongs equally to all. None can appropriate it exclusively to themselves, nor is it foreign to any.This was the decision of John Marshall, chief justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835. It was stated as a fundamental rule of the sea that no one, and therefore everyone, owns the ocean. This means that outside territorial water s (the waters within three miles of a country’s coast) the law is whatever nations agree on in peacetime and whatever the strongest naval powers can enforce in wartime.After the United States purchased Alaska, Americans began to seize Canadians who were hunting seals outside Alaskan territorial waters. The Americans claimed that the seals were American property because they often came in to the Alaskan shores owned by the United States. International arbitrators disagreed with this reasoning. In some cases, however, the special rights of a nation that makes use of an open-sea area are recognized.All of the sea’s rules are established by international conferences and treaties.31. The idea that the sea “belongs equally to all” was establishedby ________.A) an unwritten agreement C) an international conferenceB) a U.S. Supreme Court decision D) a written treaty32. The fundamental rule of the sea means that ________.A) any powerful nation may control the seaB) any area of the sea belongs to the nation close to itC) no one has exclusive rights to the open seaD) no nation has any sea rights33. Territorial waters are those waters that ________.A) nations acquire through use C) border a nation’s coastB) nations share by agreement D) belong equally to all nations34. The Americans claimed the seals because ________.A) the seals came to American shoresB) the sealers were in American territorial watersC) the United States had purchased all the waters off AlaskaD) there were no regulations for sealing35. International arbitrators decided that ________.A) Canada had no sealing rights off AlaskaB) the Canadians could hunt the sealsC) the United States could claim the sealsD) the United States could not hunt the sealsPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Misconceptions about alcoholism are common. Many people, for example, think that alcoholics are careless, pleasure-seeking people who have moral problems that make them easier prey for liquor. Actually, alcoholics often feel guilty about their drinking and are very self-conscious around other people. Alcoholics quite often have a low self-respect and are too sensitive about what people may think of them. Another common myth is that the alcoholic is always drunk, but experts say this is not so. In truth, there are three types of alcoholics. Episodic drinkers, for example, drink only now and then, but each of their drinking episodes ends in overindulgence. Habitual excess drinkers are also only occasionally drunk, but their episodes are much more frequent than those of the episodic drinker. The addict is a person who must drink continually simply in order to function. It is the addict who needs medical assistance to withdraw from the support of alcohol.36. This passage is mainly about ________.A) therapy for alcoholicsB) alcoholismC) common misconceptions about alcoholismD) three types of alcoholics37. According to the passage, which of the following statements isNOT true?A) Many alcoholics feel guilty about their drinking.B) The habitual drinker is only occasionally drunk.C) The addict needs medical help with his problem.D) Episodic drinkers never overindulge.38. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A) few alcoholics are episodic drinkersB) episodic drinkers have more troubles than habitual drinkers doC) most alcoholics are emotionally disturbed peopleD) the addict-type alcoholic is always drunk39. The passage suggests that ________.A) the addict has an emotional and physical dependence on alcoholB) more habitual drinkers become addicts than do episodic drinkersC) addicts can be helped by chemical control of their drink wishD) alcoholics are basically immoral40. As used in this passage, the word “episodic” means “________”.A) constant B) occasional C) patient D) uncontrollablePassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Schools in the 1990’s will be working together with businessmen and offices, and factories will be full of schoolchildren and teachers. Since the reforms of the nineteenth century which got children out of factories, the British have disliked mixing learning with commerce. But the past ten years of high youth unemployment have encouraged most schools to create new links with employers to provide their pupils with more marketable skills. And in the next ten years, when youth labor will become scarce rather than plentiful, many employers not yet working with schools will be encouraged to do so.41.

He said to the others, “Let me try.” He held out his hand and said to the landlord, “Take my hand and I will pull you out.” Hearing this, the landlord took the farmer's hand, and in a minute the farmer pulled the landlord out of the water.All the others got very surprised at this and asked the farmer, “Why did he give his hand to you but not to us?” The farmer said, “You don't know your friend very well, When you say 'give' to him, he does nothing, but when you say 'take' he takes.”6.Smith was a farmer.A.TB.F答案：B7.Smith became very rich, because he never gave anything to anybody.A.TB.F答案：A8.One day Smith was walking along a lake with his friends.A.TB.F答案：B9.The rich man held out his hand when he heard “Take my hand.”A.TB.F答案：A10.His friends knew the rich man very well.A.TB.F答案：BWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has areasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.11.What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________A.The tools he uses.B.The way he uses his tools.C.His ways of learning.D.The various tools he uses.答案：B12.The underlined part in the passage shows_______.A.the importance of informationB.the importance of thinkingC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs答案：C13.A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.A.works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB.does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC.can be used for many purposesD.leaves no room for improvement答案：A14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.A.that measurements are keys to success in scienceB.that accuracy of mathematicsC.that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案：C15.What is the main idea of the passage? ________A.The theory of relativity.B.Exactness is the core of science.C.Scientists are different from ordinary people.D.Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.答案：D三、词汇与语法16.I forgot to return the book to you yesterday.

Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries，people can turn ontheir TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry（珠宝），food，toys，and many other things.Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden（瑞典），for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness，including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason. But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. (1)、Teleshopping is cheap in Europe.A：TB：F答案：B(2)、People like teleshopping because it is easier.A：TB：F答案：A(3)、Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they don't watch TV.A：TB：F答案：B(4)、In Germany，teleshopping may have fewer buyers.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、The best title of this passage is " Teleshopping in Europe" .A：TB：F2、Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.(1)、What does the author try to prove by citing "what kind of impression am I making?" (Para.1)__________A：Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B：People's shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C：It's natural that shy people don't believe other's compliments.D：Shy people think they are different from others.答案：B(2)、According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A：a good qualityB：the cause of unhappinessC：harmful to peopleD：a weak point of shy people答案：A(3)、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A：goodC：very reasonableD：harmful答案：B(4)、Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________ A：Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB：Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC：Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD：Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem答案：C(5)、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.A：should find more of their weaknessB：should understand themselves in the right wayC：had better ignore their weaknessD：can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem答案：B三、词汇与语法1、Our manager will look into the matter as soon as possible.

The noisy room was filled with mouthy kids and their chatting moms and dads. Our son，Daniel, was only two years old.

A pilot who asked “Do you know whose this little boy is?”followe d him.“He is mine,” I answered, wondering what Daniel might have done.“Well,” replied the pilot, “I've been passing out crackers to the kids for almost two hours，and your son is one of the youngest guys I gave them to. He's the only one who said 'Thank you'. What he did makes me pleased.”Daniel smiled and proudly repeated，“Thank you.”6.Pilots and their family were invited to the potluck.A.TB.F答案：A7.Daniel felt very excited when he showed his crackers to his parents.A.TB.F答案：B8.For nearly two hours at least, the pilot served at the party when he found Daniel.A.TB.F答案：A9.Only one kid said “Thank you” to the man when he gave the kids crackers.A.TB.F答案：A10.The pilot felt surprised when he heard the boy said “Thank you”.A.TB.FWhat makes a person a scientist?
