Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneOne of the most interesting experiments in electronic communicationI've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whateverit becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "Thecompetitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A.

Kavya was very good at expressing her feelingsD. Kavya had a strong sense of competitionPassage ThreeNothing says "Happy Birthday!" like having a coin released in your honor by the United States Mint(铸币局), and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine different coinsin honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issuedstarting February 12. The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of percent zinc and percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-DollarCoin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45. Special editions of the 4 collectible coins ______.A. are made of copper and silverB. sell at a price same as their face valueC. are likely to be used for circulation in the futureD. have different metal content from the one-dollar coin46.

Abraham Lincoln’s 200th BirthdayB. Coins Issued with Metal Content in 1909C. Coins in Honor of Abraham LincolnD. Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved." When you find out you can’t have children, it’s just depressing, " Laura Valois told a Texas TV station. " But when somebody intentionally does this to you, it's 15 times worse. "48.

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger hascooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅥ.

The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44.

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the bloodand narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctorsthought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely.But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angryand to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if thecause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅥ.

People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue,so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs.On the plus side,more and more people are buying music on mobile phones,which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it.Research by the UK Mobile operator3suggested that75percent of16to24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it.With so much competition for people’s disposable income,a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies,however,is the mount of music that is downloaded illegally.Piracy usually in the form of cheaply copied CD has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.36.What is unusual about the C rimea’s business plan?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet.B.They give CDs away free in shops.C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.37.The Crimea hopes to make money______.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the internetD.through sales ofmerchandise in shops38.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because______.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them39.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.overall,sales are up on last year.B.overall,sales are down on last year.C.there is no change compared to previous sales.D.It is not mentioned in the passage.40.What effect has the internet had on music piracy?A.It has made it easier to fight piracy.B.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Task2Directions:After reading the following passage,you will find5questions or unfinished statements numbered41to45.For each question or statement there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard(1850-1928).After immigrating from England to the USA,and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer,he moved to Chicago,where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of1871.In those days,it was nicknamed“the Garden City”,almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns.Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the1880s and1890s,drawing on ideas that were popular at the time,but creating a unique combination of designs.The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place,dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities.At the same time,the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive:though it promised fresh air and nature,it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条)and it offered neither enough work and wages,nor much social life.Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement,the garden city.Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company,borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside;far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.Garden cities would provide a central public open space,radial avenues and connecting industries.They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt,also owned by the company,containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in,the garden city would reach its planned limit—Howard suggested32,000people;then,another would be started a short distance away. Thus,over time,there would develop a vast planned house collection,extending almost without limit;within it,each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services,but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system,thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.41.How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?A.Through his observation of the country life.B.Through the combination of different ideas.C.By taking other people’s advice.D.By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.42.The underlined phrase“drawing on”in Paragraph1probably means______.A.making use ofB.making comments onC.giving an explanation ofD.giving a description of43.According to Howard,garden cities should be built______.A.as far as possible from existing citiesB.in the countryside where the land was cheapC.in the countryside where agriculture was developedD.near cities where employment opportunities already existed44.What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?A.Their number would continue to rise.B.Each one would continue to become larger.C.People would live and work in the same place.D.Each one would contain a certain type of business.45.What could be the best title for the passage?A.City and CountrysideB.The Invention of the Garden CityC.A New City in ChicagoD.A Famous Garden City in EnglandTask3Directions:The following is a news report.After reading it you should complete the information by filling in the blanks marked46through50in the table below.You should write your answers in no more than three words on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.“CSC”(Country Style Cooking)was established in Chongqing on November23rd, 1996,along with the introduction of operation model of American CSC international Management Corporation.CSC is going to open more than100restaurants under its own control in municipalities and provincial cities throughout China in3years with its market expansion from early Chongqing to Shanghai,Chengdu,and Xi’an etc.and it ushers into the third generation of CSC standardized operation Model.As the leader in China’s healthy quick-service restaurant industry,CSC has adopted such operation measures as direct operation by CSC itself,centralized production and standardized product to continuously keep the food quality,and try to establish a product quality guarantee system which consists of three licenses QS,ISO,and HACCP so as to supply fresh and delicious healthy food,which will be the top choice for those who were pursuing healthy life and fashion.CSC is striving for being the number one brand for its prompt and convenient service in China’s quick-service restaurant industry.CSC has created the best record that it provided service for more than2800customersin a rush day.Its professional restaurant management team and kitchen management team stick to the principles about L(location),Q(quality),S(service),C(circumstances), P(promotion),V(value)in order to become such kind of brand as“customer’s home kitchen”.As a result,CSC has been the quick-service restaurant brand with the largest market share in southwestern areas of China.Some information of the introduction46.In Chongqing,CSC runs with______of American CSC international Management Corporation.47.According to CSC’s plan,it will open______restaurants in China in3years.48.CSC is a______industry.49.CSC established a product quality guarantee system to______.50.CSC’s management team wants to become such kind of brand as______.Task4Directions:After reading the following passage,you will read5statements.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs from which the information is derived.You may choose paragraph more than once.The5statements are numbered51to55.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.You should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.[A]When home office computers go down,many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately,taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward.Fires,power surges,and floods,they’re all facts of life.We read about them in the morning paper and see them on the evening news.We sympathize with the victims and commiserate over their bad luck.We also shake our heads at the digital consequences-melted computers,system failures and destroyed data.Yet,somehow,manyof us continue to live by that old mantra of denial:“It won’t happen to me.”Well,the truthis,at some point you’ll probably have to deal with at least one disaster.That’s just how it goes,and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it.We buy insurance.We stow away provisions.We even make disaster plans and run drills.But for some reason,computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us.It s houldn’t be.Home computers contain some of our most important information,both business and personal,and making certain our data survive a disaster should be a priority.Moreover,even the smallest disaster can be a serious disruption.Personal computers have become an integral part of the smooth-running household.We use them to communicate,shop,and do homework,and they’re even more vital to home office users.When home office computers go down,many small businesses grind to a halt.Fortunately,taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward.With a good offsite storage plan and the right tools,you can bounce back quickly and easily from minor computer disasters.And,should a major calamity strike.[B]House fires and floods are among the most devastating causes of personal computer destruction.That’s why a solid offsite backup and recovery plan is essential. Although many home users faithfully backup their hard drives,many would still lose all their data should their house flood or burn.That’s because they keep their backups in relatively close to their computers.Their backup disks might not be in the same room as their computers—tucked away in a closet or even the garage—but they’re not nearly far enough away should a serious disaster strike.So,it’s important to back up your system to a removable medium and to store it elsewhere.[C]There are many ways to approach offsite storage.It starts with choice of backup tools and storage medium.Disaster situations are stressful,and your recovery tools shouldn’t add to that stress.They must be dependable and intuitive,making it easy to schedule regular backups and to retrieve files in a pinch.They must also be compatible with your choice of backup medium.Depending on your tools,you can back up to a variety of durable disk types from CD’s to Jazz drives to remote network servers.Although many of these storage media have high capacity,a backup tool with compression capabilities is a big plus,eliminating the inconvenience of multiple disks or large uploads.[D]Once you select your tools and a suitable medium,you need to find a remote place to store your backups.The options are endless.However,no matter where you choose,be sure the site is secure,easily accessible,and a good distance away from your home.You may also want to consider using an Internet-based backup service.More and more service providers are offering storage space on their servers,and uploading files to a remote location has become an attractive alternative to conventional offsite storage.Of course, before using one of these services,make certain you completely trust these service provider and its security methods.Whatever you do,schedule backups regularly and store them far away from your home.[E]Not all home computer damage results from physical disaster.Many fewer menacing problems can also hobble your PC or destroy your information.Systems crash, kids“rearrange”data,adults inadvertently delete files.Although these events might not seem calamitous,they can have serious implications.So,once again,it’s important to be prepared.As with physical disasters,regular backups are essential.However,some of these smaller issues require a response that’s more nuanced than wholesale backup and restoration. To deal with less-than-total disaster,your tool set must be both powerful and agile.For example,when a small number of files are compromised,you may want to retrieve those files alone.Meanwhile,if just your settings are affected,you’ll want a simple way to roll back to your preferred setup.Yet,should your operating system fail,you’ll need a way to boot your computer and perform large-scale puter crises come in all shapes and sizes,and your backup and recovery tools must be flexible enough to meet each challenge.Life’s disasters,large and small,often catch us by surprise.However,with a little panning and the right tools,you can reduce those disasters to bumps in the road.So,d on’t wait another day.Buy a good set of disaster recovery tools,set up an automatic backup schedule,and perform a dry run every now and again.Then,rest easy.()51.You can stage a comeback quickly and easily from minor computer disasters with the help of a good offsite storage plan and the right tools.()52.When choosing backup tools and storage medium,you’d better choose one with compression capabilities so as to remove the inconvenience of numerous disks or heavy uploads.()53.The backup and recovery tools must be flexible enough to deal with various computer crises.()54.You should find a distant place to store your backups after you have selected your tools and a suitable medium.()55.People may lost all their data easily in their house flood or burn because they are used to keeping their backups close to their computers.Part IV Translation(25Points)Directions:This part,numbered56to66,is to test your ability to translate Chinese into English or English into Chinese.Each of ten sentences(No56to No65)is followed by four choices of suggested translation marked A,B,C and D.Make the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Write your translation of the paragraph(No 66)in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.56.20世纪40年代以来中国发生了翻天覆地的变化。

Children in some countries “learn time slowly" because “the y don’t wear watches” and “parents don’ t really know how to teach them time.” The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can’ t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course - it's the Flik Flak Made by a famous Swiss watch company.The Flik Flak is being marked as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10.The Watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time. Of course: it merely "captures their imaginations" by presenting the "hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the“minute”h and as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding “blue” minutes on the dial, whileflak points to red hour numbers. The characters and the colors combined with parental help are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Perter Lipkin, the United Stated sales manager for the Flik Flak calls it “kid-p roof”: if it gets dirty, you can t hrowthe whole watch in the washing machine. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the U.S. for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time.26.From the news report we know that ____________A. parents are patient when teaching children timeB. parents have little idea of how to teach children time .C. children tend to learn time quicklyD. children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch.27.

The United States sales manager calls the new watch “kid-proof” because_________A. it is designed to teach children to be on timeB. it proves to be effective in teaching children timeC. it is made so as not be easily damaged by childrenD. it is the children's favorite watchTask 2Oceanography has been defined as " The application of all sciences to the study of the sea".Before the 19th century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between Certain Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea. There was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question "What is at the bottom of the ocean?" had to answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engines had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that Atlantic T elegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which sounding were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused, much popular interest in his book-the Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporaryscientific options that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and 7ed to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.31. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanography studies take On_____________A. an academic aspectB. a military aspectC. a business aspectD. an international aspect32. It was _______ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A) the American navyB) some early international travelersC) those who earned a Jiving from the seaD) The company witch proposed to lay an undersea cable.33. The aim of the voyages which Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was___________A) to make some sounding experiments in the oceansB) 10 collect samples of sea plants and animalsC) to estimate the length of cable that was neededD) to measure the depths of two oceans34. “Defied” in Para 5. Line 3 probably means “________”.A) doubled B) gave proof to C) challenged D)agreed to35. This passage is mainly about___________A) the beginning of oceanography B) the laying of the first undersea cableC) the investigation of ocean depths D) the early intercontinental communicationsTask 3Directions: Read the following passage. After reading it,you should give brief answers the 5 questions (No. 36 to No. 40). The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.A strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything derived from animals. The main objection to vegetarianism on a long-term basis is the difficulty to getting enough protein ---the body-building element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days or weeks (say, for religious reasons) you will have noticed that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast is over and you get your reward of an abundant meat meal.Proteins are built up from approximately twenty food elements cal led “amino-acids", which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism.The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is muchcheaper than animal food. However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams of protein a day, has to consume a greater bulk of foodthan his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day.36.Why is the long-term vegetarianism objected to according to the passage?________________________________________________________________ _____37. The author’ s opinion of life-long vegetarianism is_____________________________38. According to the passage, we feel weak when we________________________________39.

Turnover has increased by l0%, costs have dropped by 2% and profits are by 13%. So the company as a whole has performed well. Export sales have done very well---especially in America, our largest export market. The domestic consumer market has been very competitive. SO OUT results in this market have been rather disappointing——just l % up compared with last year's 35%market share.Right, let's move on to personnel. Our personnel has continued to be a great success. We have actually recruited 56 new staff, while 18 have retired so there’s net balance of 38. The training department has expanded considerably and moved into new areas such as quality assurance and sales training.Finally technology, over the last year, our research department has thoroughly tested a new prototype engine.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneOne of the most interesting experiments in electronic communicationI've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this re al-time way. It alsoworks as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other peop le on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes oncommunication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the samecompetition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She stillhas that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A. One of the 11 finalists at the spelling competition.B. A 13-year-old girl planning to become a star dancer.C. Champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009.D. An Indian girl enjoying playing various musical instruments.41. The second time Kavya took part in the same competition, she took the ______ place.A. thirdB. fourthC. eighthD. tenth42.

Kavya was very good at expressing her feelingsD. Kavya had a strong sense of competitionPassage ThreeNothing says "Happy Birthday!" like having a coin released in your honor by the United States Mint(铸币局), and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine different coinsin honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issuedstarting February 12. The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 perce nt zinc and 2.5 percentcopper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45.

Abraham Lincoln’s 200th BirthdayB. Coins Issued with Metal Content in 1909C. Coins in Honor of Abraham LincolnD. Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved." When you find out you ca n’t have children,it’s just depressing, " Laura Valois told a Texas TV station. " But when somebody intentionally does this to you, it's 15 times worse. "48.

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the bloodand narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems,doctorsthought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely.But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angryand to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if thecause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅥ.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen my daughter first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted with other parents. Sometimes, I’d ask if they played chess themse lves. Usually, the reply was no. When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking:“Good luck withthat!”If this game is so good for kids, why are adults ignoring it? Seeing someone playing smart phone games, I wanted to say:“Why are you having your kids do chess while you do that?"Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were enjoying. But I also wondered if we were sending a subtle message:that learning was for the young. During one tournament, I saw a group of parents. They were playing chess! Just then, a group of kids passed me.“Why are adults learning chess?” one asked, in a vaguely teasing tone.I was tired of sitting on the sidelines. I wanted in. And that is how I got a membership card and started throwing myself in. Early on, I was nervous, even though I really had nothing to lose, except my pride. “ A master can sometimes play badly," as one grandmaster (国际象棋大师)put it，“a fan, never!And fan I was. It was three hours of concentrat ion and thinking, with my phone turned off. It felt like a gym for the brain.Being a beginner can be hard at any age, h out it gets harder as you get older. The phrase“adult beginner" has an air of gentle pi ty. It implies the learning of something that you should have perhaps already learned.36.What can we learn about other parents from their remarks in Para 1?A. They were indifferent to adult learners.B. They agreed om the idea of learning chess.C.They gave congratulations to the adult learner.D.They thought it odd for an adult to learn chess.37.What was a group of parents doing during one tournament in Para. 2??A. Playing chess.B. Enjoying chatting.C.Watching kids play chess.D. Helping kids with their lessons.38.Whic h of the following is closest in meaning to“sitting on the sidelines”in Para. 3?A.Not being noticed.B. Expressing vague ideas.B.Expressing vague ideas.C.Not being involved.D.Following what others do.39.What did the writer think of his experience of learning to play chess?A.It helped him remain calm.B. It helped him train his brain.C. It made him proud of himself.D. It made him question himself.Passage TwoThere's an old fixed understanding about the difference between cats and dogs. Dogs are loving an loyal,while cats are aloof(冷漠离群的)and indifferent. Most cat people, however, probably disagree. Overall, cat research suggests cats do form emotional bonds with their owners. Cats seem experience separation anxiety, respond to their owners’ voices more than to stranger s’ and look for comfort when scared.But a new study reveals a more complicated picture of our relationship with cats. Adapting a method previously used to study dogs, the scientists found cats-unlike dogs-don’t avoid strangers who refuse to help their own ers. This doesn’t mean that the cats in this study were selfish, but they simply didn't understand how human beings respond to each other. They weren’t aware that some of the strangers were being unhelpful.In an experiment, a cat watched as her owner tried to open a box to get at something inside. Two strangers sat on either side of the owner and the owner turned to one of them and asked for help. In“helper”trials,the stranger helped the owne r to open the box. In“non-helper”trials, the stranger refused. The other stranger sat passively, doing nothing. Then, both strangers offered the cat a treat, and the scientists watched to see which stranger the cat approached first. Did she prefer to take food from a helpful stranger over a passive one? Or did she avoid taking food from the non-helper?When this method was used to test dogs, they showed a clear preference. The dogs preferred not to take food from a stranger who refused to help their owner. In contrast, the cats in the study were completely indifferent. They showed no preference for the helpful person and no avoidance(避开) of the unhelpful person. Apparently, as far as cats are concerned, food is food.What should we take from this? An attractive conclusion would be that cats are selfish and don't care about how their owners are treated at all. This is an example of human-centered thinking of animals. To really understand cats, we have to get out of this view and think of them as cats.40. What do most cat people probably disagree with, according to Para. 1?A. Cats are strange.B. Cats are loving.C.Cats are caring.D. Cats are cold.41. What does most research about cats show?A. They don't need their owners’ attention.B.They are emotionally attached to their owners.C.They don't experience separation anxiety as dogs do.D.They respond to their owners’ voices less than dogs do.42.What can be learned from the study?A. Cats take food no matter who feeds them.B.Cats refuse food from unhelpful strangers.C.Dogs refuse food from those who anger them.D.Dogs take food no matter how they are treated.43.What should we do to better understand cats, according to the last paragraph?A. To treat them as friends.B. To compare them with dogs.C.To regard them as animals.D. To care about their behavior.Passage ThreeScientists have shown that exercise is linked to brain changes throughout all stages of life and can help the brain develop and stay healthy. Babies,for example, need regular exercise to form connections in the brain.In children, research suggests that exercise improves attention, focus and school performance. In the elderly, exercise has been shown to help slow memory loss.Then how does exercise help the brain? Over the last 20 years, scientists have learned that exercise can help keep the mind sharp in a number of ways. Exercise improves blood flow to the brain.The blood carries oxygen, contributing to more efficient connections between brain cells. Increasing blood flow is one way that exercise can improve mental abilities. The positive effects of exercise on the brain can be seen in babies, pre-teenagers and adults.Babies are in near-constant movement, which is extremely important for development. This movement not only strengthens their muscles, but also helps their brains form connections. The process continues throughout life but is most intense in infancy(婴儿期)and toddlerhood(学步期)，when children are mastering brand-new skills like sitting, standing, walking, running and jumpingExercise is also healthy for pre-teenagers’ brains. In fact, some research suggests that regular exercise can improve school performance. A study found that the effects depended on how much kids exercised. The more days the children attended the exercise program,the more their focus improved.Finally, exercise helps keep the mind sharp during adulthood. Research suggests exercise canincrease the size of the hippocampus, an important area of the brain, which become smaller with age, and can increase levels of a protein (蛋白质) that aids the growth of new brain cells. This can help prevent older adults from losing mental abilities and memory.44. How does exercise help the elderly?A. By improving attention.B. By slowing memory loss.C. By connecting with others.D. By controlling cell growth.45. How does exercise sharpen the mind according to Para. 2 ?A. By increasing the brain size.B. By decreasing the protein level.C. By extending the time of concentration.D. By strengthening brain cells’ connections46. What is crucial in the development of babies’ brains?A. Babies’ ability to focus.B. Babies’ mastery of skills.C. Babies’ muscle strength.D. Babies’ near-constant movement.47.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Exercise strengthens people's bodyB. Exercise helps babies to growC. Exercise improves people's life.D. Exercise benefits the brain.Passage FourIn1542, Francisco de Orellana led the first European voyage down the Amazon River. During this voyage the explorers met a lot of resistance(抵抗) from the local Indians. In one particular tribe the women fighters were so fierce that they drove their male fighters in front of them with spears. Thus the river was named after the famous women fighters of the ancient Greek stories, the Amazons.This voyage also started our wonder of the greatest river and the largest area of rainforest in the world. About 20% of all fresh water carried to the oceans is from the Amazon River. The Amazon basin is the world's largest, about the size of Europe. The river is a product of the rainyseason, which brings huge rains every summer. This also produces a large area of rainforest, which supports the largest number of diverse plants and animals of any area in the world.The Amazon rainforest is also important when it comes to the future of global warming, as it is a huge natural store of carbon. Up until recently it was thought that the Amazon had fully grown and thus could not take up anymore CO2. Experiments have shown this could be wrong and that the Amazon rainforest might be sucking up an additional five tons of CO₂from the atmosphere per hectare(公顷) per year. This is because plants react favorably to increased CO2; because it is the raw material for photosynthesis(光合作用)，the more of it the better. So having more CO2 in the atmosphere acts like a fertilizer,stimulating plant growth.Because of the size of the Amazon rainforest, it seems that presently it is taking up a large percentage of our CO2 pollution in the atmosphere, about 75% of the world’s car pollution.48.After whom was the Amazon River named ?A.

It outlines the four basic steps that can be used to persuade potential customers to make a purchase. The firstthree steps lie in creating attention(A),developing interest(I),and building desire(D) for the product, before the fourth step-the“call to action”(A)-tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer's feelings through each stage of the communication process toward reaching a sale.Attracting the cu stomer’s attention is the first challenge, and this may be achieved by using an attractive phrase,offering a discount or something for free,or demonstrating how a problem can be solved. Once someone’s attention has been seized,it must be turned into real interest. This is best done by providing a brief description of the product’s benefits to the consumer, rather than simply listing the produc t’s main features. Problem-solving claims, or results-based advice can be used to create desire, before finally laying out a simple way for that desire to be met-the means to buy. On website advertising,this might be a direct link; on TV or print, it may be a website or telephone numberIn the movie industry, the stages of AIDA are used to great effect. Movie studios often begin their marketing campaigns months in advance with giant posters to attract attention to the new movie. Short attractive previews follow, which develop interest by offering an attractive glimpse of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview, which is carefully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue. On the opening weekend, advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie’s release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.52.
