Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage. I was dirty, elly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail holiday. My body couldn"t take any more punishment. My mind couldn"t deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages. “Never again,” I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the next. All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the sameon you"ve learnt to sleep in the corridor of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep. Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack kes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have bee too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for mon sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand. Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty special. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern Fran . But the idea of non-stop travel proved too tempting, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing. We were not pletely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything ex pt themost immediately available sights. This was the chan to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that, in ny pla s, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station. We were just there to get by, and to have a good time doing so. In this we were no different from most of the other Inter-Railers with whom we shared corridor floors, food and water, money and music. The excitement of travel es from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name. It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time. Questions: 51. At the end of his first trip, the writer said “Never again” because . A. he felt ill B. he disliked trains C. he was tired from the journey D. he had lost money 52. What does the writer mean by “this way of looking at life” in Paragraph 3? A. Worrying about your clothes. B. Throwing unwanted things away. C. Behaving in an anti-social way. D. Looking after your possessions. 53. Why did the writer originally buy an Inter-Rail ticket? A. To get to one pla cheaply. B. To meet other young people. C. To see a lot of famous pla s. D. To go on a tour of Europe. 54. What the writer liked about traveling without his parents was that . A. he could seemore interesting pla s B. he could spend more time sightseeing C. he could stay away from home longer D. he could ke his own decisions 55. What does “it” in Line 3, Paragraph 6, refer to? A. A name. B. The city. C. The train. D. The station.

Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in a ximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage. Going to the beach is ny Americans" favorite activity. In the area near New York City, nine million people used to go to the beach every summer. They went swimming in the o an without giving a thought to what was underwater． But those days are long gone． In the summer of 1988，the gover ent was for d to shut down beaches all over America． Many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage from hospitals was found in the water． The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood，and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood． Where the medical garbage came from is anybody"sguess． At some beaches， sewage （生活污水） was found in the water. Americans were shocked by this state of affairs． They had long taken for granted that o ans were big enough to stay clean，even if garbage and sewage were dumped into them． People didn"t think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight． Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful at first glan ． San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that"s full of chemicals． Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin． In ny parts of America，people are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution． Most American cities put their garbage in the ground． But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the o an． Boston Harbor is so polluted that scientists say it won"t recover until the next ntury at best ． The city of Boston puts its sewage in the water． The gover ent has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant． Cleaning up o ans won"t be easy，but people can no longer ignore this challenge． Questions: 61.

Some polluted waters are still beautiful because pollutants such as chemicals are hard to . 64. If fish live in polluted waters people should not .65. The author of this passage seems to suggest that people should pay more attention to. Passage Two Questions 66-70 are based on the following passage. There are cockroaches (蟑螂) everywhere on Earth ex pt the pla s that are covered with i . Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one hu n species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very s ll, nine cm is as long as a large rat. It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They “see” with the hairs on their bo s. These hairs can feel the s llest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety. Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among hu ns and are a serious problem. They are the Ger n, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the Ger n cockroach can produ as ny as seven million cockroaches in 12 months! Our in problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bo s. They can then carry this waste, which y contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital. Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the sto chs ofcockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other pla s where food is prepared. Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches “learn” how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or “learn” how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us. It seems probable that when there are no longer hu n beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here. Questions: 66. Cockroaches do not live in pla s where it is . 67. Cockroaches know that someone or something is near because . 68. Cockroaches can because they carry bacteria. 69. Paragraph 6 says that it is very difficult to . 70. The passage is inly about . Section D Sum ry (10 points) Directions: In this part, there is one passage followed by a sum ry. Read the passage carefully and plete the sum ry with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage. Co etics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Ro ns all used various kinds of keup. Some of these co etics were used toimprove their appearan . Others were used to protect their skin. But in some cases, things used for keup were dangerous, or even deadly! Some of the first skin care treatments started in Egypt. In fact, Cleopatra was known to use them. She thought a bath in milk and honey left her skin silky ooth. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptian and other ancient cultures also used various powders on their skin for beauty. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Ro ns put white chalk on their fa s. And Indians painted red henna on their bo s. Most of the ancient co etic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissan , women wore white powder de of lead on their fa s. Of course, doctors now know lead is like a poison for our bo s. Also around the time of the Renaissan , women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. Belladonna is a very poisonous plant. The poison in the plant affects the nerves in the body. By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a wo n"s pupils would bee very large. People thought this de her more beautiful. Actually, this is why the plant is called belladonna. In Italian, belladonna means “beautiful wo n.” When ElizabethI was queen of England in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous co etics were also used by women there. Women were using rouge de with mercury. They were also using special hair dye de with lead and sulphur. The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen"s hair. Over time, the dye de people"s hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs. Sum ry: Although people have used co etics throughout history, not all of them have been safe. In fact, some of them have been quite (71) to people. For example, long ago in Italian (72), people thought women with big pupils were beautiful. Therefore, in the (73) of beauty, women began to put (74) of belladonna in their eyes to ke their pupils larger. Today we know belladonna is poisonous, and it can affect the (75) in the body. Part VI Cloze (10 minutes, 15 points) Directions: There are 15 blanks in the passage. For each blank, some letters of the word have been given (not ex eding 3 letters).

I"m really in two minds about what to do when I leave school. Should I go straight to university or should I spend a year travelling (76) a the world?

(83)M , I"ll be able to take part in the social activities that the university offers, and meet lots of new friends who share the same interests.

On the one hand, I would experien lots of different (86) c . On the other hand, I could end up suffering from culture shock, homesickness and some (87) str tropical diseases. Nevertheless, these inconvenien s would be an inevitable part of travelling and would be greatly (88) out by the advantages. ( ) Unf , another point is that if I spent a year traveling I would need a lot of money.
