The title suits him. And he loves it.Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly(蝴蝶), once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back—thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “You’re crazy.〞As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets〞. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.“ I knew it had hurt my mom,〞Bonner said after he got out of prison. “ So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.〞One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat(栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.“ I saw the sign ‘ Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘ How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’〞Bonner recalls. “ Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass(放大镜) , ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘ Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’〞Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around. For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.59. Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he _______.A. found the butterfly had died outB. won many prizes from his professorC. met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biologyD. collected butterflies and put them into a lab60. From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has _________.A. made Bonner fam ousB. changed Bonner’s lifeC. brought Bonner wealthD. enriched Bonner’s knowledge61. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. A Promise to MomB. A Man Saved by ButterfliesC. A Story of ButterfliesD. A Job Offered by Dr. MattoniCPhotos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs〞—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to oldadvertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at〞, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on. Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (保卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for some else: “Why’s your car HERE at HER place?〞The note became the starting point for Rothbard’s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such as Richard Prince, may raise endless possibilities. What was the cowboy in Prince’s Untitled doing? Was he riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone?In the absence of established facts, the vast collections of found photograph give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. That, above all, is why they are so fascinating.62. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _________.A. remind readers of found photographsB. advise reader to start a new kind of businessC. ask readers to find photographs behind sofaD. show readers the value of found photographs63. According to thepassage, Joachim Schmid _________.A. is fond of collecting family life photographsB. found a complaining not under his car wiperC. is working for several self-published magazinesD. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs64. The underlined word “them〞in Para 4 refers to __________.A. the readersB. the editorsC. the found photographsD. the self-published magazines65. By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ________.A. memory of the past is very important to peopleB. found photographs allow people to think freelyC. the back-story of found photographs is puzzlingD. the real value of found photographs is questionable66. The author’s attitude towards found photographs can be described as _________.A. criticalB. doubtfulC. optimisticD. satisfiedDTell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people’s mind to another culture or race.People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.“ Most local stories are based on a larger theme,〞American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “ Cinderella(灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.〞Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business,〞she says, “ there is a greater need for communication.〞Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,〞she says, “ What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.〞67. What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?A. They share the same way of storytelling.B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.C. They learn their stories from the American natives.D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.68. The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _____.A. start a new lifeB. settle down in another placeC. direct filmsD. become good actors69. Pugh has practised storytelling with _____ groups of people.A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 570. What is the main idea of the text?A. Storytelling can influence the way people think.B. Storytelling is vital to the growth of business.C. Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school.D. Storytelling helps people understand themselves and others.EHouston is home to cowboy culture,space travel , art cars and much more .Two brothers established Houston in 1836 .Augustus and John Allen were land developers from New York state .They purchased more than 25 square kilometers of land in a low-lying area near a small river , or bayou .

It was a tallyoung man, smoking.He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curledpoints, though he could not be more than twenty,three or-four. There was an unusual force in hisface, and in his daring rolling eyes.'Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?' said he, coming forward. And seeing that shewas quite at a loss: 'Never mind me. I am Mr. d'Urberville. Have you come to see me or mymother?' This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She had dreamed of an aged anddignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered— 'I came to see your mother, sir.''I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed,' replied the representative of the house;for this was Mr. Alee, the only son of the noble family. 'What is the business you wish to see herabout?' 'It isn't business—it is— I can hardly say what!''Pleasure?''Oh no. Why, sir, ifI tell you, it will seem—'Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved(弯曲) towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.'It is so foolish', she stammered(急急巴巴地说); 'I fear I can't tell you!''Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear,' said he kindly.'Mother asked me to come,' Tess continued; 'and, indeed, I was in the mind to do somyself. But I did not think it would be like this. I came, sir, to tell you that we are of the samefamily as you.' 'Ho! Poor relations?''Yes.''Stokes?''No; d'Urbervilles.''Ay, ay; I mean d'Urbervilles.''Our names are wom away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d'Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are,—and —and we have an old seal(印章) and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we've lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.''Very kind of your mother, I'm sure.' Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that madeher uneasy. 'And so, my pretty girl, you've come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?''I suppose I have,' looking less confident and uncomfortable again.'Well—there's no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?—-Tess of the d'Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy56. How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec?A. Excited and hopeful.B. Nervous and uncomfortable.C.

You are the Time magazine 'Person ofthe Year'.The annual honor for 2006 went to anyone that uses orcreatescontent on the Internet. The magazine designedspecial cover —awhite keyboard with a mirror for acomputer screen where buyers cansee their reflection- for the issue, reflecting the importance ofuser-generated(使用者自创) Internet content as a driving force in themodem world.User-generated content on websites such as YouTube has provedthe latest twist(转折) in the Internet revolution. YouTube has attractedmillions of users and earned itsfounders $ US1.65 billion when it wasbought by Googleearlier this year.Normally, the magazine describes its person of the yearnotnecessarily as an honor, but as 'the person or persons whomost affectedthe news and our lives, for good or for ill, and represented what wasimportantabout the year'. Mr. Stengel said in an interview that to selectthe 'Person of the Year' is to lookfor someone who's a symbol.The magazine did cite(提名) 26 'People Who Mattered,' from Chinese President Hu Jintao to a group of three persons that included: U.S. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney andformer Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield.It was not the first time that the magazine went away from naming an actual person for its'Person of the Year'. In 1966, the 25-and-under generation was cited; in 1975, American womenwere named; and in 1982, the computer was chosen.In 2005, the winners were Bill and Melinda Gates and rock star Bono, who were cited for their charitable(慈善的) work aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health.60.

The fashionable character of the Internet revolution is __________.A. to search information on the InternetB. to use the Internet to make moneyC. to be cited for 'Person of the Year'D. to create content onto the Internet62.

'Person of the Year' must be a person or persons.D. A rock star is unlikely to be cited for the 'Person of the Year'.CWhen do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first fourminutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. "Every time you meet someone ina social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people's wholelives would change if they did just that."When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident.In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves." On the other hand, we should notmake the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That'snot my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way." In reply, Dr. Zunin would claimthat a little practice can helpus feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We canbecome accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It's like getting usedto a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don'tactually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always goodfor social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time foreverything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contactwith a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one findsin other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course inevery school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in lifedepends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as howmuch we know.64. When first introduced to new people, we should __________.A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other people's feelingB. always tell the whole truth even ifit hurtsC. appear friendly and self-confident at least for the first few minutesD. mention faults we find in the other people65. According to the author's advice, interpersonal relations _______.A. should be set as a required course in schoolsB. are more important than other courses in schoolC. are less important than reading, writing and mathematicsD. is the only key to one's success in life66. The underlined word 'play-acting'in the fourth paragraph means_________.A. being totally honestB. being a little dishonestC. acting out what one feelsD. acting in a play67. The best title for the passage could be ______________.A. The Key to SuccessB. Best Ways to Make FriendsC. Personal RelationsD. The First Four MinutesDA new study released(发布) by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that adults in US are not getting enough rest each night, according to media reports Friday.Of those questioned, 70 percent said they had not gotten enough rest or sleep every day ofthe past month.The study, which surveyed adults in Delaware, Hawaii, New York and Rhode Island, foundthat a lack of sleep is a particular problem for younger adults.Of those between 18 and 34, 13.3 percent lacked enough sleep every day, compared to 7.3percent of adults over 55.However, the study did not find much difference between races or sexes.The National Sleep Foundation says that most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night.An estimated (评估的) 50 to 70 million people suffer from constant sleep loss or sleep disorders, according to CDC, though people often do not understand that lack of sleep can causehealth problems.But there is some good news: retirement is apparently good for your sleep habits. The CDCfound that those who are no longer working are twice as likely to report that they get a fullnight's sleep.Sleep patterns can be influenced by what kinds of jobs people have, and even where theylive. People who lived in Hawaii apparently got more sleep than those in the other three statesstudied, the study found, Lifestyle choices, such as late-night television watching, Internet surfing, or caffeine intake(咖啡因摄入), can also affect sleep patterns, the study said.68. Which of the following is not the cause of one's sleep loss according to the study?A. Where one lives.B. One's lifestyle choices.C. The difference in age.D. Races and sexes.69. Which of the statements is true based on the above passage?A. The lack of sleep can cause health problems.B. Retired people have more problems with sleep.C. One's job does not affect one's sleep.D. 70 percent of the people in the surveyed states lack sleep.70. How many factors mentioned in the passage affect people's sleep patterns?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.第二卷(非选择题，共两大题，35分)第五局部：任务型阅读(共10小题；每一小题1分，总分为10分)请认真阅读如下短文，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。

Congratulations第三部分阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)ANowadays credit cards almost replace cash and checks for both individuals and business. Each person’s social securely number would used as the card number. Firms would use their state identification number. Thus, every individual would be able to pay for everything by credit card---newspapers, donations, tolls, theater admissions, tuition, children’s allowances, everything. All salary payments would be credited directly to each individual’s account which would pay one’s bills, state taxes, and deposit(存款) what’s left---if anything---into a saving account. Just think of the convenience of getting rid of cash and checks and even eliminating loose change. No need, then, to worry as before, when you wanted to buy a newspaper and you only had a $20 bill.However, with a complete credit card economy, we would still have the problem of thefts of cards, forging of cards and lost cards. Children would lose their cards, mom would leave hers in the other purse, and dad would forget his in other jacket. If a girl did not have room in her bikini for her card, how could she buy a coke at the beach? You could not spend a cent without your card, so the credit card is really not that practical. Sometimes else is n eeded that is small, always with us, can’t be forged, and easily identifies our account. The answer is your thumbprint; everyone’s thumbprint would be recorded with his or her Social Security number！Using thumbprints satisfies all of the requirements. The details of everyone’s thumbprint would be picked up on a small scanning screen in the charging device at each store and business. Corporations, firms and government agencies would use the thumbprint of the treasurer or anyone authorized to sign check, even babies could be thumb printed at birth so they would be prepared to buy their first lollipop!The thumbprint is certainly a handy solution to our money problems. But one final word of advice: if your child is a thumb sucker, don’t be too quick to break t he habit---keeping his thumb in his mouth may save him money some day.56．The general idea of this passage is that ________.A. there are many serious problems in the credit economy.B. the biggest advantage of the credit card is its protection from theft.C. with necessary improvements the credit card economy is becoming the trend of modern economy.D. thumbprint has more advantages than credit card.57．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.Without credit card one couldn’t make a living in the society.B. The credit card saves one’s trouble of carrying cash with him.C. The credit card can be used for both payment and deposit.D. The use of credit card also has its disadvantages.58．In the last sentence the writer______A. gives a piece of very useful advice.B. tells the harm of a baby’s habit of thumb-sucking.C. tries to be humorous about the topic of using the credit card.D. thinks that it’s necessary to teach children to be economical.B“Primary school children are abandoni ng books for computer games, as parents struggle to find the right balance between play, homework, reading and electronic entertainment at home,” Ed Balls, the Education Secretary, said yesterday.Mr. Balls called on parents to cut down on the amount of time they let their children play computer games and urged them to spend at least ten minutes a night reading bedtime stories.He added that a recent consultation by his department had found a huge groundswell of concern among parents about how best to regul ate their children’s computer play.“Across the country we should be getting our kids to play computer games a bit less and to read a bit more,” he said.His comments followed the publication of a major international comparison of reading among ten-year-olds which showed that England had fallen from third to fifteenth position in the past five years. Scotland fell from fourteenth to twenty-first place in the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study, run by Boston College in Massachusetts. Russian children came top in the study.The literacy report for England, produced for the Government by the National Foundation for Educational Research(NFER), found that 22percent of English children spent five hours or more playing computer or video games on a normal school day, with 37 percent spending more than three hours. This was exceeded only by the US and seven other countries.The report also found a clear association between the number of books at home and reading attainment. The 23percent of children with 200 or more books at home had significantly higher reading scores than the 10 percent with ten or fewer books.59．What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Playing computer games too much can greatly affect children’s learning grades.B. Parents are urged to make children play computer games less and read more.C. Ten-year-old children in different countries spend different amount of time on reading.D. It is necessary for children today to find a balance between playing and learning.60．According to the passage, ________spend the most time on reading.A. t he Russian children.B. the American children.C. the English children.D. the Scottish children. 61．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. How children perform at reading tests is mainly determined by the number of books they have at home.B. Children should keep at least ten books at home in order to get good reading scores.C. The number of books children have at home is obviously related to their reading tests.D. Only the children who have more than 200 books at home can perform well at reading tests.62．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. busy parents today are to blame for causing reduced reading times for their children.B. parents haven’t found a proper way to regulate their children’s computer play.C. children in developed countries show less interest in reading.D. all the parents spend less than 10 minutes reading bedtimes stories to their children.CHealth officials issued a warning over common energy-saving lightbulbs after research showed some types could potentially harm the skin and may even raise the risk of cancer.A study by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) found that some eco-friendly lightbulbs (灯泡) release levels of ultraviolet (UV) (紫外的) radiation that are above recognized safety limits. The agency urged people who work with lamps nearby to avoid spending more than one hour within a foot of the eco-friendly bulbs. The warning was directed at those using desk lamps for long periods, such as jewellery makers, and others who might have lights close to their faces, such as car mechanics.John O’Hagan, a scientist at the HPA’s centre for radiation, chemical and environmental dangers, began tests on the lightbulbs after patient groups raised concern about them. Among the groups were patients with a skin disease called lupus, which makes people highly sensitive to light.The tests measured UV light from the lamps and found the highest levels of UV radiation, measured 2cm from the lightbulbs, were equivalent to being outside in direct sunlight in the summer. The most immediate risk from the lightbulbs is a reddening of the skin similar to sunburn, but there is also a small increased risk of skin cancer associated with this, again similar to that of sunburn.The risk of health problems from the lightbulbs was not so high that people should remove them from their homes. People are advised to avoid using open lightbulbs for long close work until the problem is sorted out. It has confirmed that the government will not be reviewing its strategy on introducing energy efficient lightbulbs.63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. All eco-friendly lightbulbs give out levels of UV radiation beyond safety limits.B. Desk lamp users will suffer skin disease caused by UV radiation.C. Symptoms of a skin disease led to the start of tests on the lightbulbs by HPA.D. Patients affected by exposure to UV radiation are highly sensitive to light.64. The underlined word “equivalent” in Paragraph 4 most probab ly means ________.A. equalB. vitalC. relevantD. harmful65. In order not to be harmed by the UV radiation from some lightbulbs, people should ________.A. stop using eco-friendly lightbulbs at homeB. avoid using open lightbulbs for long close workC. take care not to expose their skin to direct sunlightD. urge the government to ban the use of lightbulbs66. In the next part, the author would most probably further explain _________.A. why people needn’t remove the lightbulbs from their homesB. how researchers have planned to sort out the problemC. how long people should work close to the open lightbulbsD. how the government has responded to HPA’s discoveryDHaving driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days. The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait (饵料) before heading to the lake.Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear (用具), put it on the lake’s edge, baited up and beganto fish.“Good morning,” s aid someone, walking up from behind me.Turning around, I saw a game warden (猎场管理员) with a clip-board.“Good morning,” I said, nodding my head.“Catch any fish?” he asked.“No sir, just relaxing and killing time.”“Can I see your fishing license?”I handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop.“Can I see your driver’s license, too?” he requested.“I see the name on the driver’s license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden.“The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him.“Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you up for fishing with an invalid （无效的）license and take away your fishing gear.”“You’ve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face.Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away. I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my stuff would be sold at auction.I stood there almost in tears as he drove away. Those rods and reels were very special to me. I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead.After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation, but no one would listen. I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations. Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight.Nine months later, I received a letter. I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address. On a plain piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am.”On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina. By ten o’clock I had found the auction. There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment. All at once, there it was—my wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing.As the auction began I took my seat. In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars. For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block.“We have three rods and reels here. I guess we will sell this as a unit,” said the auctioneer.“50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd.“51 dollars,” yelled another man.I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction.“66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued.“100 dollars,” came another bid. The auction became silent.“100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice, 100 dollars three times. Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer.I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there. Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck. Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck. It was the same game warden who wrote me the ticket almost a year ago!As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasn’t wrong. It’s th e law that is wrong.”I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away. I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line.67.
