What is itsmain aim? Is it to teach students how to use the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to 16 s tudents’ strong interest in computers?Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 17 giving lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is 18 that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology. 19 , views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success 20 whether they can make use of computers effectively.Let’s take the subject of Chine se as an example and see 21 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present, 20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher spends two weeks teaching the subject 22 . In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know 23 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 24 to see the policy through.Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to 25 training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computers.Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 26 IT learning has just started. All teachers, including the seniors who are very 27 in teaching, who suddenly have no idea what to do when they come to computers will have to 28 from the very beginning. They may become 29 and their teaching performances may be badly affected.The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have 30 all schools to come up to the target. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 31 or the courses onto the computer just to meet the required time for IT learning and then 32 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his 33 through the computer before class comes to an end in order to " complete" his IT learning 34 . As far as the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really 35 the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not sure.16.

Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises.(1) Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep(2) Americans, the master of the New World are rebels(叛逆者).They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence(无知)of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders(入侵者).However, such alertness(警觉)is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades(刀)36 Americans use _______ to hold their fork to37. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the OldA. show their independence o38.A. holdB. play with39.A. AmericansC. Americans and Europeans separately40. Which of theA. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.D. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.41.Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism. 42.The underlined word“ inhabitants” (in Paragraph 1 )probably means____________.A. touristsB. passengersC. populationD. citizens43.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____________ .A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over-crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic44.It can be inferred from the text that _____________ .A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a cou ntry’s economy won’t benefit from tourism muchD. we can't build too many support facilities45.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ____________ .A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their lifeCHow to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life —it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amoun ts or balance.According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if t he fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”46. From the paragraph we know that working women .A. think cooking is especially complicatedB. do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC. are busy and not interested in cookingD. are likely to eat healthfully47. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .A. it contains only a small percentage of real juiceB. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real orangesC. it is largely orange-colored sugar waterD. it produces nothing but calories48. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .A. an effort with no resultsB. a search for a diet without fruitsC. a research on fruitless dietD. a diet serving as medicine49. Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .A. a balanced diet can result in being fatB. staying thin and healthy are both possibleC. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thinD. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food50. By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and mineralsD. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no useDLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿)leads on to deliberate(有意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed asa meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.51.. Before children start speaking,what is greatly different?________.A. the amount of listeningB. a number of listeningC. the sound of listeningD. the meaning of listening52. starters are often long listeners, the sentence means one can ________.A. be hard to speak fluentlyB. begin to speak quicklyC. start with listeningD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly53. these can not be said to show a baby’s intention to speak, these refer to ________.A. painB. happinessC. KindnessD. above of all54. According to the writer, we can draw a conclusion that ________.A. children are fond of imitatingB. these imitation can be considered as speechC. children get more experience of the worldD. children’s use of words are often meaningless55. When a child is six months, he can ________.A. call his mamaB. imitate many languagesC. store new wordsD. play with sounds IV.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文并回答问题.(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

(A)It doesn’t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard abou t Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him a lot of questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain this questions. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.21. The doctors came to Herpin’s home in ord er to __________.A. treat him for his illnessB. find the reason why some old people didn’t need any sleep.C. help him to have a rest in some dayD.get some proof(证据)to show his sleeplessness was not really true.22.

The main idea of this passage is that ____________.A. large numbers of people do not need sleepB. everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveC. people can live longer by trying not to sleep at allD. a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleep(B)Booker T. Washington was born in a black slave family in Virginia of the USA in 1856, seven years before slavery was abolished (废除) by Abraham Lincoln in January, 1863.He wrote a book about his life called Up From Slavery, which was published in 1901. In the book, he said that he had no choice but to work in a coal mine when he was 16 years old. He had no chance to go to school. He heard two coal miners talking about a school for black children which was called the Hampton Institute.He determined that he would go there. He gave up his job and told other members of his race that he was going to school across the state. The older people had spent their best years as slaves and were poor. However, some gave Booker some pocket money or a handkerchief. Hardly had anyone expected any of their race to leave home to attend a boarding school. He took a train to Richmond, Virginia, where he ran out of money. It was 82 miles from the Hampton Institute. He slept under a wooden sidewalk(人行道). He helped unload pigs and iron from a ship for some money and when he had enough, he continued his journey, arriving at school with 50 cents.This diligence(勤奋) pushed him to graduate and become a teacher at the Hampton Institute. When he was 25 years old, he was asked to start a new school for black children in Alabama. called the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Thirty-four years later, this school had 1,500 students and 200 teachers and Booker T. Washington became the most influential black leader ofhis generation.26. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To show the significance of education for black children.B. To introduc e Booker T. Washington’s working experience as a slave.C. To present a brief introduction of Booker T. Washington.D. To explain the reason why Booker T. Washington becomes a writer.27. Booker T. Washington didn’t go to school early in life because ________.A. there were no schools for slave in AmericaB. blacks were not allowed to receive educationC. he had to work as a coal minerD. he was not smart enough to receive education28. The older people didn’t give Booker much money because _________.A. they had no jobs to doB. they didn’t have much moneyC. they didn’t believe Booker would succeedD. they didn’t wish Booker to go to school29. What can we know from the passage?A. Booker went to the Hampton Institute first by train and then by ship.B. In all, Booker covered 82 miles before he arrived at the Hampton Institute.C. Booker wrote Up From Slavery when he was 25 years old.D. It was unusual for blacks to attend school at that time.30. The last paragraph is mainly about Booker T. Washington’s ______.A. achievementsB. diligenceC. determinationD. experience(C)There are over one million superstitions (迷信), and most people believe at least one or two of them.Many people are superstitious about numbers. They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers.The number 13 is often considered unlucky. In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13. In Japan, "4" is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word "four" is pronounced the same as the word "death".Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins (餐巾), or four of anything.What are the lucky numbers? Seven is a lucky number in many places, and "8" is considered a lucky number in Japan and China. In China, businesses often open on August 8, and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8.Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people—called numerologist—make a living by giving advice about numbers.In 1937, when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if "Toyoda" would be a good name for the company. The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that "Toyota" would be a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people drive "Toyota" and not "Toyoda".There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching (抓痒). There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions will tell people how to reverse bad luck.When the Japanese bump(碰撞) heads, they immediately bump heads again. According to a Japanese superstition, the first-bump means their parents will die, but the second bump "erases" the first bump.To reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats on backwards.In the United States, baseball players sometimes wear their caps backwards when their team is losing. It looks silly, but the baseball players do not mind if it helps them win the game.31. It can be inferred that superstitions about numbers are ________.A. popular neither in Japan nor in ChinaB. popular only in Japan and in ChinaC. popular both in Japan and in ChinaD. causing great troubles both in Japan and in China32. From this passage we can learn that __________.A. a numerologist is an expert in mathsB. a numerologist is the owner of "Toyota"C. a numerologist is a supermanD. a numerologist is a fortune-teller33. The underlined word "reverse" means __________.A. change to bad luckB. cause to go in the opposite directionC. change for the worseD. exchange34. If a Japanese purposely bumps his head again after an accidental bump, we can be sure that ___________.A. he is madB. he is happyC. he is superstitiousD. he is very sad35. The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of ______.A. persuading us to believe superstitionsB. showing us some facts of superstitionsC. showing us the magic power of numberD. showing us a numerologist第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.11.

Nature.C12-year-old John Thom as Robertson is a born train fan. “I’ve liked trains probably from the day I was born,” he told Good Morning America. “When I was very little,” he said, “my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours.”When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great. His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldn’t keep it to himself: he decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldn’t pay the fa res, he spent money he had saved by collecting cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them.That train was such a happy one that he made it yearly action. “It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just very fun,” he said. “It really lets p eople get away from their busy life and have fun.”Every October, Robertson takes a new group of disabled children to ride the train — but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. “He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train,” his mother said.But he wouldn’t say no: he recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, took the letter seriously. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.21. The first time John Thomas Robertson took a train, he_______A. felt extremely happy.B. was frightened by it.C. watched it for hours.D. acted as a driver.22. John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan, because he _______.A. was taken on a train the day he was born.B. his grandpa once worked on the train.C. took a group of disabled children on board a train.D. was greatly attracted to trains since early childhood.23. The underlined word “mind-blowing”can be replaced by “_______”.A. excitingB. frighteningC. surprisingD. disappointing24. The disabled children were refused to get on the train because _______.A. they couldn’t afford the train ticketsB. Robertson had not saved enough money for ticketsC. the train didn’t have special services for themD. the workers there would not allow them to do so25. According to the passage, we can see that Robertson is a(n) _______ child.A. honest and crazyB. kind and helpfulC. clever but boringD. lazy but kind根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Along with the papers he would bring a small bag of treats (美食) for my two brothers and me.Western NY had terrible winter weather: rain, sleet (雨夹雪), or even 3 feet of snow. Even when he was 81, he still walked the half mile every single day. As a child, I looked forward to the daily treats, but now I’m older and I realize he braved the rough weather each day just to see us smile; I now value that more than anything else.My grandfather touched(感动)many lives. A woman who had been in hospital for five years told me her story. She said my grandfather would visit her twice a week at her home: to read to her, playbridge, or just chat. It lasted for years without stop. She had few visitors. Even a hitchhiker who my grandfather had picked up for free told me of my grandfather’s influence on his life. My grandfather took the traveler to his home. After learning that the man was homeless, my grandfather gave him a place to stay. The man told me that no one had ever been so nice to him. He later found a job in a supermarket.I was touched, but not surprised to know all of the touching stories from which I understood my grandfather’s selflessness. I have since tried to learn from him to help others. Although he died years ago, we still respect him.36. The writer’s grandfather walked to his grandson’s home each day in order to ________.A. bring his son newspapersB. give his grandsons some foodC. take exercise by walkingD. see his son and grandchildren37. All of the following can describe the writer’s grandfather EXCEPT ________.A. kindB. selflessC. strictD. helpful38. The underl ined word “hitchhiker” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.A. a person who gets a free car ride when travelingB. a person who likes traveling by carC. a person who is given up by parentsD. a person who travels alone and gets lost39. From the text we can infer(推断)that ________.A. the writer didn’t know his grandfather’s selflessness until years laterB. the writer’s grandfather went to his house except on snowy daysC. the writer’s grandfather ever looked after a woman in hospital f or five yearsD. the writer’s grandfather ever helped a stranger find a job in supermarket40. After learning about his grandfather’s stories, the writer ________.A. felt a little surprised at firstB. followed the example of his grandfatherC. was much sad all the timeD. didn’t like his grandfather’s actionBAre you dreaming of taking a trip on your own? Here is some advice on how to make your once-in-a-lifetime journey and how to stay safe when you get there.Before you begin to look at places, activities and plane tickets, you must set a budget. When you search through the websites about travelling, it can be so easy to add another week here or there, or choose an extra activity. Setting a budget can avoid(避免)creating a huge bill, which starts very small.With so many countries on this planet it is difficult to decide where to go. By narrowing down your search to voluntary (自愿的) work or a relaxing holiday, you can save a lot of time looking thro ugh websites.After deciding where to go, you need to research the country. Find out when each season is. It would be disappointing if you were taking part in an outdoor-based activity and it rained most days. Look into medical information, as you may need certain medicine for certain countries. Above all, make sure you can afford to go to this country and take part in the activities you have dreamt about. Don’t raise your hopes too high before you know for certain it is within your budget.By carrying a credit (信用) card with you at all times it is possible to stop yourself getting lost.Mobile phones are very important as well. However, do not depend completely on them, since electronic machines can break without warning. Therefore, always carry a list of emergency (紧急情况) phone numbers, names and addresses. Finally, learn a little of the language. Do not expect that the people there speak your own language. After all, you are in their country.41. What is the best title for the passage?A. Take a Relaxing TripB. Save up to Travel AloneC. Create a Pleasant TripD. Prepare for Travelling Alone42. From the text, we can know that ________.A. travelling in a foreign country costs a lotB. deciding on where to go is an easy jobC. a volunteer can help you choose where to goD. you need to know what the weather of the county you’ll travel is like43. What does the word “budget” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. 记录B. 生意C. 预算D. 决定44. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. You needn’t research the country you’ll travel before setting off.B. Making a budget is important when making a travel plan.C. It is funny to take medicines when travelling.D. Bad weather can never influence your trip.45. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. reasons why mobile phones aren’t reliableB. ways to stay safe when travelling aloneC. the importance of carrying a credit cardD. the advantages of learning a foreign languageCA When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘ VACANCIES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCIES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a diffe rent road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road is blocked by a crowd.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris. when someone offer ed me some more coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like somemore. However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘No, thank you.’46. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car47. “NO VACANCIES” in English means ______.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not a way on holidayD. holidays48. If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.A. fall into a holeB. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselfC. find that the road is blocked by crowds of peopleD. have to take a different road49. When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French, I ______.A didn’t really want any more coffee B. wanted them to take the coffee pot awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to express my politeness50. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ______.A. hadn’t finished drinki ng my coffeeB. was expecting another cup of coffeeC. meant that I didn’t want any moreD. was always understoodDAt the time friends visit us in the evening, they often tell us they are in a hurry and look at their watches. It isn't that our friends are all very busy; it is just that we haven't got a television. People think that we are very strange. “But what do you do in the evening?”,they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evenings looking at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is quite useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I'm always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.Sometimes there are power(电源)cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us and we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost-no television!—So they don't know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full for they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games.51. The couple have not got a television, because________.A. they are not rich enoughB. they are strange peopleC. they enjoy spending evenings in their own waysD. they don't know what to do when there are power cuts52. Both of them are interested in________.A. learning languagesB. travellingC. staying home aloneD. watching people play games53. At night when there is no electricity, the couple _ _______.A. have to look at the wallsB. can do nothing but sit in silenceC. will have many visitorsD. have to go out for candles54. The writer tries to tell us that________.A. life is possible without a televisionB. life is enjoyable with many friendsC. electricity is importantD. television is useful55. The best title for this passage is ________.A. Why Do We Need a Televisi on?B. Candle! But N o Electricity!C. Different Friends, Different Hobbie s.D. We Go Without Televisions!IV阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后面的要求答题。
第一节:阅读理解 (共两节,满分40分)AThe American tradition of “trickortreating” probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day parades(游行) in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for wandering spirits. The practice, which was referred to a s “goingasouling” was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given apples, food, and money.The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago, winter was an uncertain and frightening time. Food supplies often ran low and, for the many people afraid of the dark, the short days of winter were full of constant worry. On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.21.What is the passage mainly talking about?A.The root of an English festival, All Souls' Day.B.The root of some American traditions on Halloween.C.Why do children go to houses and ask for “treat”?D.Why do people like to dress up for Halloween?22.On early All Souls' Day, “soul cakes” were given away in the hope that ________.A.the poor people would pray for their dead lovesB.the food could save some poor people's livesC.the church would help them go to heavenD.the poor wouldn't break their houses23.What is “goingasouling” originally intended for?A.Children. B.The church. C.The poor. D.The ghosts.24.On Halloween, people would dress up and put food outside in order to________.A.make friends with their dead relativesB.attract their dead relatives back homeC.make the wandering spirits pleasedD.keep out spirits for their own safetyBIce Hotel Quebec, located 30 minutes west of Downtown Quebec City, Canada, is only open during the winter season.

I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was , in his words, “a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all .I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”,Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading ,and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out ), I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten .But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one ,George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, CharlesDickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him, but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” so meone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more indepth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words).Fortytwo percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean; I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).28.How did the author find his friend a book liar?A.By judging his manner of speaking. B.By looking into his background.C.By mentioning a famous name. D.By discussing the book itself.29.Which of the following is a “guilty secret”according to the World Book Day report?A.Charles Dickens is very low on the topten list.B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C.The author admitted having read 9 books.D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.30.By lying about reading ,a person hopes to ________.A.control the conversation B.appear knowledgeableC.learn about the book D.make more friends31.What is the author's attitude to 58%of readers?A.Favorable B.Uncaring. C.Doubtful. D.Friendly.DA Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians (素食者)by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians -although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications(资格) than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ inchildhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said,“It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?”32.What's the result of the research mentioned in the text?A.Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.B.Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.C.Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.D.Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.33.It was found in the research that ________.A.most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out.B.vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians.C.female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians.D.vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians.34.Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n) ________ way.A.doubtful B.favorableC.negative D.objective35.What's the best title for the text?A.Get more IQ points! B.Be a vegetarian, please!C.A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian D.Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises.(1) Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep(2) Americans, the master of the New World are rebels(叛逆者).They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence(无知)of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders(入侵者).However, such alertness(警觉)is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades(刀)36 Americans use _______ to hold their fork to37. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the OldA. show their independence o38.A. holdB. play with39.A. AmericansC. Americans and Europeans separately40. Which of theA. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.D. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.41.Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.42.The underlined word“ inhabitants” (in Paragraph 1 )probably means____________.A. touristsB. passengersC. populationD. citizens43.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____________ .A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over-crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic44.It can be inferred from the text that _____________ .A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a cou ntry’s economy won’t benefit from tourism muchD. we can't build too many support facilities45.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ____________ .A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their lifeCHow to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life —it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amoun ts or balance.According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if t he fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”46. From the paragraph we know that working women .A. think cooking is especially complicatedB. do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC. are busy and not interested in cookingD. are likely to eat healthfully47. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .A. it contains only a small percentage of real juiceB. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real orangesC. it is largely orange-colored sugar waterD. it produces nothing but calories48. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .A. an effort with no resultsB. a search for a diet without fruitsC. a research on fruitless dietD. a diet serving as medicine49. Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .A. a balanced diet can result in being fatB. staying thin and healthy are both possibleC. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thinD. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food50. By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and mineralsD. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no useDLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿)leads on to deliberate(有意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situationand it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot b e dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.51.. Before children start speaking,what is greatly different?________.A. the amount of listeningB. a number of listeningC. the sound of listeningD. the meaning of listening52. starters are often long listeners, the sentence means one can ________.A. be hard to speak fluentlyB. begin to speak quicklyC. start with listeningD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly53. these can not be said to show a baby’s intention to speak, these refer to ________.A. painB. happinessC. KindnessD. above of all54. According to the writer, we can draw a conclusion that ________.A. children are fond of imitatingB. these imitation can be considered as speechC. children get more experience of the worldD. children’s use of words are often meaningless55. When a child is six months, he can ________.A. call his mamaB. imitate many languagesC. store new wordsD. play with sounds IV.阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文并回答问题.(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
