about people being"color﹣blind"but very few of us are．Even those who describe themselves as color﹣blind are normally just color lack．A strongly color﹣blind person will still be able to tell 20different colors，compared to the 100or so that normal﹣sighted people see．Pingelap，a tiny island in the Pacific，is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble．It is known as Color Blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white．who's a fisherman，also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt﹣out image．"I find it difficult to go outside in the sun，"he says，"because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work．"But if being truly color﹣blind is rare，why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap lire in a totally black and white world？Well，we know that in 1780the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami．As few as 20people survived，one of whom was the king．It's believed he had a

that the type of emotional support that a child receives during the first three and a half years has an effect on education，social life and romantic relationships even 20or 30years later．Babies raised in supportive and caring home environments tended to do better on tests later on，and they were more likely to get higher degrees as adults．They were also more likely to get along with their classmates and feel satisfied in their romantic relationships．"It seems like，at least in these early years，the parents'role is to communicate with the children and let them know，‘I'm here for you when you're upset，when you need me．And when you don't need me，I'm your cheerleader，'"says Lee Raby，a psychologist and researcher at the University of Delaware who led the study．Raby used data collected from 243people who participated in the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk．All the participants were followed from birth until they turned 32．"Researchers went into these kids'home at times．Other times，they brought the children and their parents to the university and observed how they communicated with each other，"says Raby．Of course，parental behavior in the early years is just one of many influences，and it's not necessarily causing the benefits seen in the study．While summarizing the results，the researchers accounted for theFinally，they found that about 10percent of someone's academic

He didn’t come home at lunch time, phoning 36 to tell me he was fine and had found a few days’ work 37 out at an exhibit. However, after he finished work he 38 for supper as usual.I asked him how he had 39 at lunch and he told me he had made some new 40 at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had _41_ him a few dollars and invited him for lunch 42 for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to43 the next day to help with other chores(杂务).I was glad he had found new friends but a little 44 about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, these are just 45 everyday people like anyone else. They 46 work at a carnival instead of in a store or something”. “Come down tomorrow and 47 them yourself,” he said.So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had 48 me to. The twin brothers 49 out to be Siamese(连体的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn’t thought this50 was noteworthy enough to mentio n. When I brought it to him, he said, “yes, I 51 that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes 52 it’s so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good 53. Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch.”What others see first in a person is not what a child considers 54.

In addition, she has also competed in ten World Championships, three Asian Games and three Goodwill Games. Chusovitina holds the record for the most individual World Championships medals on a single event. She won an Olympic team gold medal as a 17-year-old in 1992. Since then she has won a record of eight world titles.Her long career owes something to fate. In 2002, when her son Alisher, now aged nine, was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病), she moved to Germany so that he could get the best possible treatment. To help in those difficult times she kept up her training. It has paid off. But saving Alisher’s life is not her only motivation. As she recently told German media, “There is nothing in the world I enjoy more than gymnastics.”Chusovitina was born on June 19, 1975 in Uzbek USSR. She was formerly a citizen of, and a competitor for, the former Soviet Union (before 1993) and Uzbekistan (1993-2006). She has competed for Germany since 2006. By the year of 2008, Chusovitina’s career in gymnastics had been twenty years.She is one of only a handful of women to return to high-level gymnastics and international competition after becoming a mother. Chusovitina is remarkable in her ability to remain competitive for so many years, often in the face of great difficulty, and has been considered as a role model and an inspiration by many people in the gymnastics community.56. When she was 17 years old, Chusovitina won an Olympic team gold medal for ________.A. the former Soviet UnionB. UzbekistanC. GermanyD. Russia57. Chusovitina might begin her career in gymnastics in _______.A. 1975B. 1988C. 1992D. 199258. Chusovitina left her homeland because _______.A. she wanted to compete in the Beijing 2008 Olympic GamesB. she wanted to serve for GermanyC. she wanted her son to get the best treatmentD. she had to face great difficulty in her homeland59. According to the passage, Chusovitina is different from the other competitors in the Beijing2008 Olympic Games because_______.A. she is the best competitor in the gamesB. she is much older than other gymnastics girlsC. she won an Olympic team gold medal when she was very youngD. she competes in order to earn money60. According to the passage, which of the following words can best describe Chusovitina?A. Kind-hearted.B. Lovable.C. Tough-minded.D. Serious-minded.CA small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed(吃) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.During the last two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese orEskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.B. There is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like Japan and Greenland.C. Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America.D. Heart doctors won’t call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.62. The underlined phrase “this relationship” refers to the connect ion between _______ and theincidence of heart disease.A. the amount of fish eatenB. regular fish-eatingC. the kind of fish eatenD. people of different regions63. The passage is mainly about ________.A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB. the changes in people’s diet in the United StatesC. the daily fish consumption of people in different culturesD. the effect of fish-eating regularly on people’s health64. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States?A. The author doesn’t give a definite answer.B. Because American people drink too much spirits.C. Because there are a great number of fat people there.D. Because American people eat too much fatty fish.65. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fishaccording to the Dutch study?A. 550, 000.B. 110,000.C. 275,000.D. 852.DThe United States has about 475,000 school buses ---all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled (取消). Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts (地区) may end any bus service not required by law.Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.66. What does this passage mainly tell us?A. High fuel prices’ influences on school buses.B. New measures to transport school students.C. The safest form of student transportation.D. The origin of Walk to School Day.67. Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph?A. There are too many school buses in the United States.B. There are too many students in the US.C. Diesel prices are going up too rapidly in the US.D. School buses consume too much diesel in the US.68. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Cuts in bus service will have negative results.B. The US government is encouraging cuts in bus services.C. The US schools are searching for the safest transportation means.D. Reducing bus service will do a lot of good to the environment.69. In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.A. changing some bus routesB. stopping some bus routesC. asking parents to drive children to and from schoolD. using other types of fuels70. The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike toschool in order to ____.A. save more fuels and diesel for the countryB. keep the children safe on their way to schoolC. make the children live a simple lifeD. keep the children healthy and the environment clean第II卷（共55分）第四部分：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）71.有人提醒我不要忘了我的承诺。

Lately,however,people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country!Usually considered shy and seldom seen,these lions are becoming more noticeable.In addition,the lions appear to be moving east.They were even reported in the suburbs （郊区）of Boston,Philadelphia,and Chicago.It seems certain that these“kings of the mountains”are moving.Why?Scientists are not sure.Some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the weat,younger wild cats are leaving the area.These cats are searching for new homes and new places forfood.“The young males are looking for new homes,”says Lynn Sadler,who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento,Calif.“People tend to create too many barriers（障碍）,such as buildings,fences,roads,and noise.As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources（水源）,these barriers get in their way.”The sightings have made people increasingly watc hful.Sometimes the“mountain lions”that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats.But at least a few of the meetings have been real.The building of new roads,the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion,an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats：Never leave pets or pet food outside;properly care for farm animals;and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.“To be fair,”says the expert,“mountain lions are trying to regain their homes.They were here first.N ow we need to find ways we can live together.”56 .Mountain lions are moving probably because________.A.the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quietB.more roads are being built into the mountainsC.the number of the lions increases in the westD.young lions are seeking new partners57 .According to the passage,it is clear that________ .A.the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been provedB.people walking in the country may come across a lionC.fences have been built to protect the lionsD.mountain lions prefer populated areas58.To avoid attracting mountain lions,people are advised_________ .A.to build more roads for the lions to move safelyB.to keep a close watch on their farm animalsC.not to stay outdoorsD.not to raise pets59.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Mountain Lions in Unlikely PlacesB.Measures Taken to Avoid LionsC.Number of Sightings Going UpD.Mountain Lions Moving WestBWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”60. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless61. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use62. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible63. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children‟s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.CIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.64. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.A. whether the reading material is easy or difficultB. what you are readingC. what your purpose in reading something isD. both B and C65. If one wants to be relaxed by reading, one should take up ________.A. a story bookB. a book on science and technologyC. news, letters from friendsD. some material full of information66. Which of the following readings should you read slowly and carefully?A. Fairy tales.B. Aesop‟s Fables.C. Directions for use of a machineD. An evening paper.67.

How to choose your reading materials.DThe most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I‟m sorry, I can‟t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can‟t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That‟s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it‟s down for10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There‟s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it‟s down it won‟t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用)computer, I said. “Let‟s forget the computer. What about your planes? They‟re still flying, aren‟t they?”“I couldn‟t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he‟s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.“I wouldn‟t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going t o Washington, he couldn‟t take you if you didn‟t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn‟t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only …IT‟ knows. …It‟ can‟t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their baggage.68. The best title for the article is _______.A. When the Computer Is DownB. The Most Frightening WordsC. The Computer of the AirportD. Asking the Computer69.

Why do you think they had not a backup computer?A. Because it was easy down.B. Because it was very expensive.C. Because it was not advanced enough.D. Because it was not as big as the main computer.ECELEBRATIONS spread across China when Shanghai was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo on December 3, 2002.Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals (对手) from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea, "I'm very proud of being Chinese," said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student.

AHave you ever been to the world’s smalle st bookstore?The World’s Smallest Bookstore，whose official name is just these three words，sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto．The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet，so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is．The bookstore isopen 24 hours a day．Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors’ works．So if you are looking for something less popular，you may get a bit disappointed there．Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars．All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves．So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens，papers，light bulbs and a label-maker．In order to catch passers-by’s attention，the billboards(广告牌）of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself．With these large eye-catchers，many people are willing to stop by and have a visit．21．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The world’s smallest bookstore．B．A strange way of selling books．C．The popular books nowadays．D．The popular bookstores in the world．22．Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?A．Books on popular science．B．Literary books．C．The year book of a university．D．Books on economic control．23．How could you buy a book from the store?A．The salesman will help you find the book．B．The salesman will get the money for the book．C．Choose the book(s）and leave the money there．D．Pay on the net and then get the book(s）in the store．BO. Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank, when some money went missing from the bank O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the reader’s surprise.24. In which order did O. Henry do the following things?a. Lived in New York.b. Worked in a bank.c. Travelled to Texas.d. Was put in prison.e. Had a newspaper Job.f. Learned to write stories.A. e. c. f. b. d. aB. c. e. b. d. f. aC. e. b. d. c. a. f.D. c. b. e. d. a f.25. People enjoyed reading O. Henry’s stories becauseA. they had surprise endingsB. they were easy to understandC. they showed his love for the poorD. they were about New York City26. O. Henry went to prison because .A. people thought he had stolen money from the newspaperB. he broke the law by not using his own nameC. he wanted to write stories about prisonersD. people thought he had taken money that was not his27. What do we know about O. Henry before he began writing?A. He was well-educated.B. He was not serious about his work.C. He was devoted to the poor.D. He was very good at learning.CYou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen(特技替身人员). That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example,when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too.28. Stuntmen are those who ______.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives29. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC.jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains30. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.A.he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC.his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right31. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?A. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.DSome six years ago, I was studying for the college entrance examination. Everyone was very exhausted. Living conditions in the countryside were not very good. One morning as usual, my classmates and I got up at 5 :30 to begin studyi ng. The fog was thickening. It was still a little cold. We were absorbed in our studies. Just then, a familiar figure appeared outside the window and waved his hand to me. It was my father. My heart pounded with excitement. Many classmates turned around and looked at me with envy. They guessed that he had brought something delicious for me to eat.How excited I was! I ran out of the classroom. My dad was all wet. Obviously, his worn jacket didn't keep him dry. He had walked all the way from my hometown fifteen kilometers away."Dad---" I went up to him and lowered my head. "Thank you!" I was choked. Then he raised his hand and tenderly wiped my tears away. "Son, cheer up! Just try your best. " he said. Then he handed me a bag wrapped in several layers of cloth. "Hurry, it is still warm," he said. I removed the cover and ate the food greedily. Warmth flowed through my whole body. He looked at me with a satisfied smile on his weathered face. ' Son, I have to catch the six o'clock bus home. Take care of yourself. We will come to you if we have time. Take every chance and study hard. Keep it in mind. Now, I must be off. " He said.I wanted him to take my coat but he refused firmly. Then he turned around and walked down the road. The back of his jacket danced in the wind. Very quickly, he disappeared into the fog.At last, I realized my dream. I studied for four years at a famous university in the south. Now, I have a job in a big company. My father's love will encourage me to overcome any difficulties I meet in the future.32. When the father told him to "cheer up" ,he meant to ________.A. tell his son he had to go away at onceB. give his son encouragementC. ask his son to eat the food quicklyD. tell his son to look after himself33.

When the author saw his father disappear into the fog, he must have ________.A. worried about his poor fatherB. felt warmth flow through his whole bodyC. wished to go home to see his parents soonD. determined to pass the college entrance examination35. The passage is about ________.A. the father's love that has encouraged the sonB. the author being absorbed in his studiesC. the author's hardworking farmer fatherD. the poor living conditions in the countryside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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
