This is actually one ofthe best choices in South Africa today.There is nothing more relaxing than to think about thatthere is a place to go and relax, right? City life isstrained,_but you can escape this situation and be in theplace where there is nothing but relaxation. Here in Durban you will get to see all the amazing tourist attractions. If you love animals and want to see some elephants wandering around the streets, then Durban is the place to go. You can even get to ride one if you want!Here you will also get to taste all the delicious South African food. You can choose from Italian cooking to its native dishes. Durban is a great place to tour with your friends and family. You will learn a lot about its history through the landmarks you will see down the streets.Tourists_and_even_the_local_villagers_just_can't_get_enough_of_these_tre ats!However, it is important that you make the necessary arrangements. There are actually lots of tour guides that will help you as you make your journey along the streets of Durban. But if you prefer the best tour guides here in Durban, then you'd better settle for the Street Scene Tours.Their staff are all well­trained and professional.They will certainly make your stay here an unforgettable one.No wonder tourists prefer the Street Scene Tours when it comes to Durban City Tours.1．The underlined word “strained” in Para. 2 means________.A．easy B．stressful C．steady D．casual2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A．Durban is a relaxing city.B．People don't like city life.C．It is good to have a place to relax.D．One can have fun riding elephants.3．What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 show?A．The food can't satisfy them.B．They are bored with the streets.C．They are treated very well here.D．They never get tired of the sights.4．The author wrote the last paragraph mainly to________.A．attract tourists to DurbanB．help readers make arrangementsC．introduce the tour guides in DurbanD．persuade tourists to choose the Street Scene ToursBI've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺骗)．Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto­rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto­rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as longas you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between six and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.5．To avoid being cheated, you ought to________if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A．pay more to the drivers to keep safeB．show your ticket to the driverC．go to a police­run boothD．go out of the airport6．The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ________.A．save some money B．enjoy the comfortable tripC．gain some unique experience D．help the local rickshaw drivers7. What can we infer from the passage?A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.8．Which may be the topic that follows?A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi. B．Weather conditions in Delhi.C．Food and drink in Delhi. D．Car rentals in Delhi.CDo you know the open­air art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably not. Not many Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity (慈善机构) that helps homeless people get back on their feet by becoming tour guides.Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours” take_people_off_the_beaten_track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network “The Sock Mob” gave Henri hope. “Not everyone just looked down on me，” he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortuneto stand tall again.An innovative (创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising self­confidence and developing self­pride.Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to “have a bit of confidence”. He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Steve's problem was not recognized at t he time, he was “seen to be unable to read or write”， and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of “student” is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts (被遗弃者)．Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular. The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago. Today the tournament draws teams from 48 countries made up of players­men and women­who are, or have been, living in the streets. It gives them a chance to become football heroes.9. The underlined part “take people off the beaten track” means “take people to________.”A．famous galleries B．traditional sightsC．unusual places D．public benches10. How does the Recovery College help the homeless people?A．By training them to be guides.B．By offering them different courses.C．By keeping in contact with them.D．By asking more students to help them.11．The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to help the homeless people ________.A．become football stars B．improve life skillsC．gain self­confidence D．find proper jobs12．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Confidence Back Now B．London TourC．The Popular Homeless D．Football HeroesDDoes it annoy you when your parents make you drink a carton of milk when you wanta can of soda? Or do you hate being told to go for a run when your favorite TV show is on?Well, maybe you should listen to your parents because they are only trying to help you. Without proper diet and exercise kids are at risk of developing fragile bones when they get older. That's because our bodies are very good at building bones until about the age of 30, when the process stops.Dr. Lawrence Raisz, scientific editor of The 2004 Surgeon General's Report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), agrees. “We're in bad shape，” he says. His report predicts that by 2020, half of all Americans over the age of 50 will be at risk of fractures (骨折) because of low bone mass. “Kids today are — what's the expression？—they're computer potatoes. They have lots of soft drinks and not enough good calcium­rich (富含钙质的) food.” And therein (在其中) lies the problem, because calcium and exercise, along with vitamin D, are the important components for building up strong bones.If you think of your body as a house, then your skeleton (骨架) is the supporting frame — a frame maintained and strengthened by calcium. Once we hit our 30s, our bodies start to draw from the calcium stored in our bones. If there is enough calcium, then the structure will stand firm, but if there's not? Picture the frame of a house devoured (吞噬) by termites (白蚁), the wood brittle (易折的) and filled with holes. That's what osteoporosis does to your skeleton.The second half of the skeleton building equation (等式) is exercise. For optimum (最适宜的) bone health, the Surgeon General recommends that children get 60 minutes of weight­bearing (负重) or strengthening exercise a day. As with muscles, bones grow stronger with use; plenty of exercise means plenty of bones health. “If you do an hour of exercise a day, it doesn't matter so much what it is，” Raisz says.“You're telling your bones they've got to grow！”13．According to Dr Lawrence Raisz, why will many Americans have weak bones in the future?A．Because their body will stop building bones.B．Because they are not familiar with the structure of the body.C．Because they have an unhealthy diet and do not exercise enough.D．Because they can't afford a qualified doctor.14．We can learn from the article that________.A. the storage of calcium in our body doesn't change even when we grow oldB．many American parents have ignored the dangers of their kids getting fractures C．a daily diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is necessary for strong bones D．half an hour of muscle exercises a day is enough for kids to develop strong bones15. The main idea of the passage is that________.A．proper diet and exercise is of benefit to people's bone healthB．kids in America don't like exercisingC．people in America don't have proper dietD．one's body is like a houseⅡ.任务型阅读How to find time for yourselfDo you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself?

The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age."We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process. "What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's."This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.41. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ____.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect42. The text mainly talks about ______.A. men's heart cellsB. women's ageing processC. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life43. If you want to live longer, you should ______.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthD. prevent your cells from being lost44. We can know from the passage that ______.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20BMy grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.45. I knew my grandfather was kind and gentle, because _________A．he was a teacher.B．he let me sit on his knee and told me stories.C．he told me stories about how kind he wasD．he was the headmaster of a school46. When he looked at a boy in a certain way, the boy ________A．went red and could not return my grandfather’s lookB．looked back at my grandfather’s red faceC. looked at his shoes to see if they were dirty.D. went red in the face because his shoes were dirty.47．When he received poor work, my grandfather _______.A．would become very angry.B．threw the work on the floor, and shouted across the roomC．threw the book at the boy.D．went red in the face48．He was a different man at home because that ________.A．he didn’t get angry at school like he did at home.B．he was not as gentle at homeC．he didn’t throw books about at school like he did at homeD．he did not get angry at home.CHave you ever heard anyone say “It’s raining cats and dogs”? It means “It’s raining hard!”But sometimes cats and dogs do drop from the sky! Here’s how it happens.Not so long ago, a country far away had many large rats. The people there said, “ We need cats!” So cats were sent to them by airplane. But the country had many mountains. It was hard for an airplane to land. So the cats came down by parachute(降落伞). Did the cats like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are still catching rats!In another country far away, there is snow the year around. People sometimes got lost in it.“We need big dogs!” the people said, “The dogs could find people lost in the snow. The dogs could help bring them home. Where can we get big dogs?”A man across the sea had big dogs to sell. “I will send dogs to you,” he said. “ I have some very big ones. They can find people lost in the snow.”He sent the dogs by airplane.But the airplane did not land in the snow. The dogs came down by parachute ---- you guessed it !Did the dogs like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are well and happy. They find anyone who gets lost in the snow. Then they help him get home. Good dogs!Remember it, so you can say, “ Yes, it does rain cats and dogs sometimes. They came down by parachute!”49.The underlined word “ it” In Paragraph 2 refers to __________.A．the weatherB．the saying “It’s raining cats and dogs.”C．the saying “It’s raining hard.”D．the fact that real cats and dogs drop from the sky.50. Cats and dogs drop from the sky because ______.A．there are many mountains in the country.B. it snows the year around in the country.C. was hard for a plane to land in the two countries.D. coming down by parachute could save money.51．The main purpose of the passage is to _________________.A．tell the readers a famous British sayingB．tell the readers of a new meaning about an old saying.C．show cats and dogs are our good friends.D．show parachute is an importantThere are many stereotypes( 定型) about the character of people in various parts of the United States. In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable . Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions.A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.52. The main idea of the passage is _____________.A. even Americans are surprised at the differences among themselvesB. there are many differences in character in different parts of the USA.C. there are many reasons for the differencesD. stereotypes about people are not necessarily true53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. New Yorkers are usually open with strangers.B. People from the South are usually considered goodC. The friendliest Americans travel from place to place.D. Different parts have different customs and habits.54. The differences lie in the following except ______ of the parts.A. the weatherB. the historyC. geographyD. the names55.

Even a brief examination of the historic practice of courts and employers would show that the fruits of such laws have been bitter: they are, in practice, more of a misfortune than a blessing.Sex-defined(性别限制的) protective laws have often been based on common beliefs concerning women’s needs and abilities and employers have frequently used them as legal excuses for looking down upon women. After the Second World War, for example, businesses and governments tried to persuade women to give up jobs in factories, thus making room in the labor force for returning soldiers. The passage of state laws limiting the daily or weekly work hours of women conveniently completed this. Employers had only to declare that overtime hours were a necessary condition of employment in their factory, and women could be quiet legally fired, refused jobs, or kept at low wage(工资) levels, all in the name of “protecting” their health. By proving such laws when they are questioned by lawsuits（诉讼）, the courts have cheated people over the years in setting up different, less advantageous employment terms for women than for men, thus reducing women’s competitiveness on the job market. At the same time even the most good-hearted lawmakers, courts, and employers have often been blind to the real needs of women. The lawmakers and courts continue to permit employers to offer employees health insurance（保险）plans that cover all known human medical disabilities except those related to childbirth.Finally, labor laws protecting only special groups are often ineffective at protecting the workers who are actually in the workplace. Some chemicals, for example, have reproductive（生殖的）risks for women of childbearing years; factory owners using the chemicals keep laws protecting women against these dangers by refusing to hire them. Thus the sex-defined law protects the supposed female workers, but has no effect whatever on the safety of any actual employees. The health risks to male employees in such industries can’t be too slight. Protective laws aimed at producing materials or techniques in order to reduce such dangers would benefit all employees without discriminating against any.On the whole, protective labor laws for women are unfair and do not meet their intended purpose. Lawmakers should recognize that women are in the work force to stay and that their needs—good health care, an acceptable wage, and a safe workplace—are the needs of all workers. Laws that take no notice of these facts act against women’s rights for equal protection in employment.61. According to the writer, which of the following resulted from the passage of the state lawslimiting the work hours of women workers?A.Women workers had to leave their jobs in factories.B.Many employers had difficulty in providing jobs for returning soldiers.C.Many employers found it hard to attract women workers.D.The health of most women factory workers improved.62. The writer places the word “protecting”(in paragraph 2) in quotation marks most likely inorder to suggest that_______.A.she is using the actual wording of the laws in question（正被谈到的）.B.the protective nature of the laws in question should not be doubted about.C.protecting the health of workers is important for those who support protective labor laws.D.the laws in question were really used to do harm to women workers, though said to beprotective in public.63. According to the passage, which of the following is a shortcoming of protective labor laws thatsingle out（选出）a particular group of workers for protection?A.Such laws are often too weak to be effective at protecting the group in question.B.Such laws are usually made by those who do not have the best interest of workers atheart.C.Such laws have no pressure on employers to get rid of dangers in the workplace.D.Keeping such laws is often expensive for employers and makes the other workers angry.64. According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following does the writerconsider to be most helpful in determining the value of special protective labor law for women?A. A study of patterns of work-related illnesses in the states that had such laws and in thestates that did not.B. A review of the fact that how many women workers are in favor of such laws.C. A study of the cost to employers keeping such laws.D.An examination of the actual effects that such laws have had in the past on womenworkers.65. The main point of the passage is that special protective labor laws for women workers are_____.A.unnecessary because most workers are well protected by existing labor laws.B.harmful to the economic interests of women workers while offering them little or noactual protection.C.not worth keeping even though they do stand for a hard-won result of the labormovement.D.unfair because male workers receive less protection than they require.第二卷（非选择题共50分）第五部分：写作（共三节，满分50分）第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分)A few months after returning the U.

But peo ple fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.The so-called “non-intelligence factors” (非智力因素) include 16 feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year-follow-up study of 8 000 males, American psychologists (心理学家) 17 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 18 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will-power and self-confidence.19 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to 20 these factors.Some parents are greatly worried 21 their children fail to do Well in their studies. They blame either genetic (遗传的) factors, malnutrition (营养不良), or laziness, but they never take 22 consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these as reasons23 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 24 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 25 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray (迷途的) because they are sick of learning. 26 investigation of more than 1000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 percent of them were 27 of learning, because of examinations, 36. 4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10. 3 percent were sick of learning.It is clear 28 the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 29 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and 30 development among a few students.If we don’t start now to31 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 32 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 33 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.First, parents and teachers should 34 understand teenage psychology. On this basis, they can help them to pursue (调动) the objectives of learning, 35 their interests and toughening their will-power.16. A. one’s B. their C. his D. her17.

Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind.“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $ 150 million.36. John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because _____.A. his father died when John was very youngB. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC. John needed more education badlyD. there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown37. John’s motherA. didn’t believe in or depend on othersB. thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC. believed one would succeed without working hardD. thought no one could succeed without working hard38. The underlined sentence“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”means _____.A. if you try, you would succeedB. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you tryC. a try is always followed by a failureD. no failure can be beaten unless you try39. The story mainly tells us _____.A. how John H. Johnson became successfulB. about the mental (心理的) support John’s mother gave himC. about the importance of a good educationD. about the key to success for blacksBThe Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake at 5:46 a. rn. on January 17, 1995,Kobe (神户) and its surrounding areas suffered a killer earthquake. Only two other events in this century, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II caused more deaths in Japan than this earthquake. The epicenter was at the northern tip of Awaji Island. The quake registered (记录) 7.2 on the Richter scale (里氏震级). The greatest amount of damage was seen in the Japanese port city of Kobe, and at final count 6 348 people had lost their lives.The people of the area were quite unprepared for such a big earthquake. Experts had said that most modern buildings would be quite safe even from an earthquake as strong as the Great Kanto Earthquake. This was clearly not true. Television cameras showed the many buildings that had fallen down. The highway that ran through the city had fallen over on its side looking as if it had been pushed over by a giant (巨人).Thousands of people were homeless, However, some of the finest human qualities were seen in the time of crises (moment of great danger). People formed long lines for water and other supplies. They shared what they had with one another. People from young to old stopped to talk to each other and give a few encouraging words. The people living in the area knew that their old life had been destroyed. They believe they can rebuild their life, and a better one,40. Only two other events caused more deaths in Japan. They are _____.A. the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the Second World WarB. the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War IIC. the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the Great Hanshin-AwajiEarthquake of 1995D. the First World War and the Second World War41. Which of the following is true?A. The Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake was the greatest in the world history.B. The earthquake broke out in summer.C. The center of the earthquake was in the northern end of the port city.D. More than six thousand people lost their lives in the earthquake.42. The passage seems to suggest that _____.A. a giant was able to start an earthquakeB. modem buildings were strong enough to be safe from any earthquakeC. less people would have died if they had been prepared for itD. experts always tell liesCCasablanca, Sep. 24A flash flood swept across the coastal plain about 100 miles southwest of here, killing hundreds of Moroccans in a market place yesterday morning.Reports from the area said 218 bodies had been counted, and many of the people were missing.The flood followed heavy rains, which filled the coastal plain and dried river beds and caused them to overflow. The flood crest, several feet high, hit the village of Khemis Nagua at midmorning yesterday as farmers from the surrounding area joined town people in an open market place.The roaring water swept the village’s living places, the market sheds (棚子), shoppers, cattle and farm tools for miles across the plain..The flood was over almost as soon as it started, the reports said, as the crest swept out to sea. Rescue workers quickly moved into the area from Sari, about 25 miles further south.43. It can be learnt from the text that _____.A. the news report is from Khemis NaguaB. the flood didn’t last longC. hundreds of Moroccans were savedD. Casablanca is a city in Africa44. The report mainly tells the public about _____.A. how the flood swept the coastal plainB. why the terrible flood took placeC. the flash flood in the fallD. a rescue attempt45. According to the text, which of the following maps may be correct?(KN=Khemis Nagua C=Casablanca S=Safi)DThirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seekinga million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part—drivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area, Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote (远距离的) consol. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner,”if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the ear-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics, “Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly. It’s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there’s a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.46. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ______.A. they did not have any human guidanceB. the road was not familiar to the driversC. the distance was too long for the vehiclesD. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers47. DARPA organized the race in order to ______.A. raise money for producing more robotic vehiclesB. push the development of vehicle industryC. train more people to drive in the desertD. improve the vehicles for future wars48. From the passage we know “robotic vehicles” are a kind of machines that ______.A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living things canB. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limitC. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside downD. can move from place to 101ace without being driven by human beings49. In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered wasA. about eight milesB. six milesC. almost two milesD. about one mile50. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to goA. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficultiesB. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the tableC. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solveD. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its faceⅣ.短文改错It was later in the evening.

Unit 5 Travelling abroadAIf you want to fully enjoy your vacation, then you'dbetter check the Durban City Tours! This is actually one ofthe best choices in South Africa today.There is nothing more relaxing than to think about thatthere is a place to go and relax, right? City life isstrained,_but you can escape this situation and be in theplace where there is nothing but relaxation. Here in Durban you will get to see all the amazing tourist attractions. If you love animals and want to see some elephants wandering around the streets, then Durban is the place to go. You can even get to ride one if you want!Here you will also get to taste all the delicious South African food. You can choose from Italian cooking to its native dishes. Durban is a great place to tour with your friends and family. You will learn a lot about its history through the landmarks you will see down the streets.Tourists_and_even_the_local_villagers_just_can't_get_enough_of_these_tre ats!However, it is important that you make the necessary arrangements. There are actually lots of tour guides that will help you as you make your journey along the streets of Durban. But if you prefer the best tour guides here in Durban, then you'd better settle for the Street Scene Tours.Their staff are all well­trained and professional.They will certainly make your stay here an unforgettable one.No wonder tourists prefer the Street Scene Tours when it comes to Durban City Tours.1．The underlined word “strained” in Para. 2 means________.A ．easyB ．stressfulC ．steadyD ．casual2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A ．Durban is a relaxing city.B ．People don't like city life.C．It is good to have a place to relax.D．One can have fun riding elephants.3．What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 show?A．The food can't satisfy them.B．They are bored with the streets.C．They are treated very well here.D．They never get tired of the sights.4．The author wrote the last paragraph mainly to________.A．attract tourists to DurbanB．help readers make arrangementsC．introduce the tour guides in DurbanD．persuade tourists to choose the Street Scene ToursBI've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺骗)．Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto­rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto­rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as longas you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between six and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.5．To avoid being cheated, you ought to________if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A．pay more to the drivers to keep safeB．show your ticket to the driverC．go to a police­run boothD．go out of the airport6．The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ________.A．save some money B．enjoy the comfortable tripC．gain some unique experience D．help the local rickshaw drivers7. What can we infer from the passage?A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.8．Which may be the topic that follows?A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi. B．Weather conditions in Delhi.C．Food and drink in Delhi. D．Car rentals in Delhi.CDo you know the open­air art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably not. Not many Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity (慈善机构) that helps homeless people get back on their feet by becoming tour guides.Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours” take_people_off_the_beaten_track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network “The Sock Mob” gave Henri hope. “Not everyone just looked down on me，” he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortuneto stand tall again.An innovative (创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising self­confidence and developing self­pride.Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to “have a bit of confidence”. He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Steve's problem was not recognized at t he time, he was “seen to be unable to read or write”， and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of “student” is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts (被遗弃者)．Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular. The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago. Today the tournament draws teams from 48 countries made up of players­men and women­who are, or have been, living in the streets. It gives them a chance to become football heroes.9.

How does the Recovery College help the homeless people?A．By training them to be guides.B．By offering them different courses.C．By keeping in contact with them.D．By asking more students to help them.11．The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to help the homeless people ________.A．become football stars B．improve life skillsC．gain self­confidence D．find proper jobs12．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Confidence Back Now B．London TourC．The Popular Homeless D．Football HeroesDDoes it annoy you when your parents make you drink a carton of milk when you wanta can of soda? Or do you hate being told to go for a run when your favorite TV show is on?Well, maybe you should listen to your parents because they are only trying to help you. Without proper diet and exercise kids are at risk of developing fragile bones when they get older. That's because our bodies are very good at building bones until about the age of 30, when the process stops.Dr. Lawrence Raisz, scientific editor of The 2004 Surgeon General's Report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), agrees. “We're in bad shape，” he says. His report predicts that by 2020, half of all Americans over the age of 50 will be at risk of fractures (骨折) because of low bone mass. “Kids today are — what's the expression？—they're computer potatoes. They have lots of soft drinks and not enough good calcium­rich (富含钙质的) food.” And therein (在其中) lies the problem, because calcium and exercise, along with vitamin D, are the important components for building up strong bones.If you think of your body as a house, then your skeleton (骨架) is the supporting frame — a frame maintained and strengthened by calcium. Once we hit our 30s, our bodies start to draw from the calcium stored in our bones. If there is enough calcium, then the structure will stand firm, but if there's not? Picture the frame of a house devoured (吞噬) by termites (白蚁), the wood brittle (易折的) and filled with holes. That's what osteoporosis does to your skeleton.The second half of the skeleton building equation (等式) is exercise. For optimum (最适宜的) bone health, the Surgeon General recommends that children get 60 minutes of weight­bearing (负重) or strengthening exercise a day. As with muscles, bones grow stronger with use; plenty of exercise means plenty of bones health. “If you do an hour of exercise a day, it doesn't matter so much what it is，” Raisz says.“You're telling your bones they've got to grow！”13．According to Dr Lawrence Raisz, why will many Americans have weak bones in the future?A．Because their body will stop building bones.B．Because they are not familiar with the structure of the body.C．Because they have an unhealthy diet and do not exercise enough.D．Because they can't afford a qualified doctor.14．We can learn from the article that________.A. the storage of calcium in our body doesn't change even when we grow oldB．many American parents have ignored the dangers of their kids getting fractures C．a daily diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is necessary for strong bones D．half an hour of muscle exercises a day is enough for kids to develop strong bones15. The main idea of the passage is that________.A．proper diet and exercise is of benefit to people's bone healthB．kids in America don't like exercisingC．people in America don't have proper dietD．one's body is like a houseⅡ.任务型阅读How to find time for yourselfDo you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself?

The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age."We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process. "What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's."This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.41. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ____.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect42. The text mainly talks about ______.A. men's heart cellsB. women's ageing processC. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life43. If you want to live longer, you should ______.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthD. prevent your cells from being lost44. We can know from the passage that ______.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20BMy grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again,and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.45. I knew my grandfather was kind and gentle, because _________A．he was a teacher.B．he let me sit on his knee and told me stories.C．he told me stories about how kind he wasD．he was the headmaster of a school46. When he looked at a boy in a certain way, the boy ________A．went red a nd could not return my grandfather’s lookB．looked back at my grandfather’s red faceC. looked at his shoes to see if they were dirty.D. went red in the face because his shoes were dirty.47．When he received poor work, my grandfather _______.A．would become very angry.B．threw the work on the floor, and shouted across the roomC．threw the book at the boy.D．went red in the face48．He was a different man at home because that ________.A．he didn’t get angry at school like he did at home.B．he was not as gentle at homeC．he didn’t throw books about at school like he did at homeD．he did not get angry at home.CHave you ever heard anyone say “It’s raining cats and dogs”? It means “It’s raining hard!”But sometimes cats and dogs do drop from the sky! Here’s how it happens.Not so long ago, a country far away had many large rats. The people there said, “ We need cats!” So cats were sent to them by airplane. But the country had many mountains. It was hard foran airplane to land. So the cats came down by parachute(降落伞). Did the cats like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are still catching rats!In another country far away, there is snow the year around. People sometimes got lost in it.“We need big dogs!” the people said, “T he dogs could find people lost in the snow. The dogs could help bring them home. Where can we get big dogs?”A man across the sea had big dogs to sell. “I will send dogs to you,” he said. “ I have some very big ones. They can find people lost in the sno w.”He sent the dogs by airplane.But the airplane did not land in the snow. The dogs came down by parachute ---- you guessed it !Did the dogs like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are well and happy. They find anyone who gets lost in the snow. Then they help him get home. Good dogs!Remember it, so you can say, “ Yes, it does rain cats and dogs sometimes. They came down by parachute!”49.The underlined word “ it” In Paragraph 2 refers to __________.A．the weatherB．th e saying “It’s raining cats and dogs.”C．the saying “It’s raining hard.”D．the fact that real cats and dogs drop from the sky.50. Cats and dogs drop from the sky because ______.A．there are many mountains in the country.B. it snows the year around in the country.C. was hard for a plane to land in the two countries.D. coming down by parachute could save money.51．The main purpose of the passage is to _________________.A．tell the readers a famous British sayingB．tell the readers of a new meaning about an old saying.C．show cats and dogs are our good friends.D．show parachute is an importantThere are many stereotypes( 定型) about the character of people in various parts of the United States. In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable . Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions.A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.52. The main idea of the passage is _____________.A. even Americans are surprised at the differences among themselvesB. there are many differences in character in different parts of the USA.C. there are many reasons for the differencesD. stereotypes about people are not necessarily true53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. New Yorkers are usually open with strangers.B. People from the South are usually considered goodC.

Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing. you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(倾斜) his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises. then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.To bring a child to life. keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen, If, in spite of your efforts, he stars turning a blue-grey colour, you can feel no pulse, then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.56. This passage is mainly about_______ .A. how to save people out of the waterB. how to give first aid to people who are drowningC. how to do mouth-to-mouth breathingD. how to save a child from a river57. Once you get a drowning man out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you must first____A. get him breathing againB. take him to the nearest hospital as soon as possibleC. find someone to help youD. call the First Aid Centre58.

Don't stop pressing his chest, if the drowning man starts breathing again.D. When pressing, you can do it as hard as you can.FDefenders of special protective labor law for women often say that getting rid of such laws would destroy the fruits of a century-long struggle for the protection of women workers. Even a brief examination of the historic practice of courts and employers would show that the fruits of such laws have been bitter: they are, in practice, more of a misfortune than a blessing.Sex-defined(性别限制的) protective laws have often been based on common beliefs concerning w omen’s needs and abilities and employers have frequently used them as legal excuses for looking down upon women. After the Second World War, for example, businesses and governments tried to persuade women to give up jobs in factories, thus making room in the labor force for returning soldiers. The passage of state laws limiting the daily or weekly work hours of women conveniently completed this. Employers had only to declare that overtime hours were a necessary condition of employment in their factory, and women could be quiet legally fired, refused jobs, or kept at low wage(工资) levels, all in the name of “protecting” their health. By proving such laws when they are questioned by lawsuits（诉讼）, the courts have cheated people over the years in setting up different, less advantageous employment terms for women than for men, thus reducing women’s competitiveness on the job market. At the same time even the most good-hearted lawmakers, courts, and employers have often been blind to the real needs of women. The lawmakers and courts continue to permit employers to offer employees health insurance（保险）plans that cover all known human medical disabilities except those related to childbirth.Finally, labor laws protecting only special groups are often ineffective at protecting the workers who are actually in the workplace. Some chemicals, for example, have reproductive（生殖的）risks for women of childbearing years; factory owners using the chemicals keep laws protecting women against these dangers by refusing to hire them. Thus the sex-defined law protects the supposed female workers, but has no effect whatever on the safety of any actual employees. The health risks to male employees in such industries can’t be too slight. Protective laws aimed at producing materials or techniques in order to reduce such dangers would benefit all employees without discriminating against any.On the whole, protective labor laws for women are unfair and do not meet their intended purpose. Lawmakers should recognize that women are in the work force to stay and that their needs—good health care, an acceptable wage, and a safe workplace—are the needs of all workers. Laws that take no notice of these facts act against women’s rights for equal protection in employment.61. According to the writer, which of the following resulted from the passage of the state lawslimiting the work hours of women workers?A.Women workers had to leave their jobs in factories.B.Many employers had difficulty in providing jobs for returning soldiers.C.Many employers found it hard to attract women workers.D.The health of most women factory workers improved.62. The writer places the word “protecting”(in paragraph 2) in quotation marks most likely inorder to suggest that_______.A.she is using the actual wording of the laws in question（正被谈到的）.B.the protective nature of the laws in question should not be doubted about.C.protecting the health of workers is important for those who support protective labor laws.D.the laws in question were really used to do harm to women workers, though said to beprotective in public.63. According to the passage, which of the following is a shortcoming of protective labor laws thatsingle out（选出）a particular group of workers for protection?A.Such laws are often too weak to be effective at protecting the group in question.B.Such laws are usually made by those who do not have the best interest of workers atheart.C.Such laws have no pressure on employers to get rid of dangers in the workplace.D.Keeping such laws is often expensive for employers and makes the other workers angry.64. According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following does the writerconsider to be most helpful in determining the value of special protective labor law for women?A. A study of patterns of work-related illnesses in the states that had such laws and in thestates that did not.B. A review of the fact that how many women workers are in favor of such laws.C. A study of the cost to employers keeping such laws.D.An examination of the actual effects that such laws have had in the past on womenworkers.65. The main point of the passage is that special protective labor laws for women workers are_____.A.unnecessary because most workers are well protected by existing labor laws.B.harmful to the economic interests of women workers while offering them little or noactual protection.C.not worth keeping even though they do stand for a hard-won result of the labormovement.D.unfair because male workers receive less protection than they require.第二卷（非选择题共50分）第五部分：写作（共三节，满分50分）第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分)A few months after returning the U.

AIt's easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so obvious？This story may have happened not long ago—but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the needy (贫穷的). We stood behind the counter serving hot food to whoever came in. Most of our diners looked like they had been having hard times, their clothes were worn out and dirty. In short, they looked needy!Then, a man came in, who looked anything but needy.He was well dressed, he wore an expensive suit.I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw (下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food.The closer he came to my service station the more I muttered (嘟囔)．What was this man doing？Surely he wasn't going to take food, which was meant for those who were really in need!Then my mother quietly took me to one side.She said, “You have assumed that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical hunger, inadequate shelter, clothing, etc.And this gentleman doesn't seem to have any of those problems.But what if his needs are emotional？What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be amongst other human beings？”Her words hit me like a ton of bricks！I felt like I should apologize to the man — but I didn't.About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source.I can't help but wonder if it came from that man.Now, whenever I meet someone I remember my mother's lesson and try to send kindness and blessings their way, regardless of how they look.Needs aren't always visible.But kindness always makes a difference.( )1.How did the author feel when the man came to his service station?A．Embarrassed. B．Doubtful.C．Pitiful. D．Hopeful.( )2.According to the text, the author's parents______.A．ran the shelter all by themselvesB．did good things only on some daysC．were good at educating the authorD．showed no concern to the rich man( )3.What is the best title for this text?A．My Mother's Influence on My GrowthB．Importance of Volunteering in a ShelterC．One of My Most Shameful ExperiencesD．My Mother's Simple Lesson in Kindness本文讲述了在避难所一次志愿者活动中，母亲的一番话让作者明白了一个道理：别以貌取人。

It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspected.In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, she's all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “It's not bad you know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,”“not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,”“excellent,”“beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as restrained statement.56. According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in _______.A. habitsB. attitudesC. characterD. all of the above57. The underlined word “restrained” in the second paragraph probably means“”.A. calm and controlledB. polite and friendlyC. nervous and quietD. silent and kind58. In Britain, if you don't want other people to think you are strange, you'd better _________.A. talk with others as much as possibleB. behave just like the English doC. say no thing about yourselfD. shake hands with everyone you meet59. If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “________”.A. not badB. correctC. quite rightD. wonderful60. From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _________.A. doesn't like to show his feelings so muchB. has less emotion than people of other nationalitiesC. finds it easy to express his emotionD. likes to have a joke with strangersBDown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.61. If a person has his nose in the air, he ____.A. is down to the earthB. is easy to deal withC. always thinks he is more important than othersD. is confident62. If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____.A. is in touch with reality, and doesn't have any dreamsB. has some dreams but he is realisticC. is honest, open and easy to deal withD. is honest, open but hard to deal with63. From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually ________.A. help a student get down to the earthB. wake a student upC. help a daydreaming student come down to the groundD. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic64. The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.A. the person who has his nose in the air is not trueB. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligentC. the opposite direction is always wrongD. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth65. From the passage, we can infer the person who is _______ is the most popular kind of person.A. down-to-earthB. standing on the groundC. with his nose in the airD. with his head in the cloudsCFrom their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic system of government. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, where they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They also elected the town's officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually held at the town hall, which was located in the central square.In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, all citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities. In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated. There are open sessions of this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in order to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.66. At a town meeting, people do the following things EXCEPT __________.A. express their opinions about the governmentB. elect officials of the townsC. make a decision about whom they should marryD. discuss some community matters67. In the 18th century, who had the right to vote?A. All the citizens.B. All the men except those who were church members.C. The rich.D. The rich men and the church members.68. Why has the town meeting been widely imitated?A. Because many people are interested in it.B. Because it is very democratic.C. Because many people enjoy themselves at town meetings.D. Because sometimes government agencies call them.69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Citizens can elect the officials in the town meeting.B. In recent years, town meetings are often called by a government agency.C. People can say what they want to say at the town meeting.D. Nowadays this kind of meeting is also held on radio and television.70. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. the New England town meetingB. modern town meetingsC. a democratic meetingD. New England townsDMost Americans believe that someone isn't grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center.The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age self-supporting; age no longer living with parents; age having a full-time job; age education completed; age being able to support a family financially; age getting married; and age having a child.“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations awa y from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.71. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _______.A. has found a full-time jobB. has finished his study in universityC. can make money and support himself after completing his educationD. can support a family and be financially independent after graduation72. A young man of 24 may be busy ________.A. finding a jobB. finding a girl friendC. making moneyD. preparing for his wedding73. The underlined word “status” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.A. positionB. rankC. levelD. situation74. From the passage, we learn that _________.A. being grown-up is just a matter of ageB. being grown-up is a process which takes some timeC. all people think completing education means being grown-upD. the survey found everyone had a different view about being grown-up75. The best title for the passage should be “________”A. It takes a long time to grown up.B. Are we grown-up yet?C. Getting married means being grown-up.D. Completing education means being grown-up.IV 阅读表达阅读下面的短文，并按照文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。

Unit 5 Travelling abroad第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题，每小题2分，满分30 分）AA rising population is one of the main reasons that there is global warming. Between 1650 and 1850 the population increased by 0.75 billion people going from 0.25 billion to one billion. From 1930 to the end of the century the population rose from two billion to over six billion. In just a third of the time the population rose by more than five times what it did before. It is expected that this trend in the changing population will continue and could even heighten. The growing population requires increasing amounts of energy. These energy demands and other supplies require production, which almost always involves the emission of greenhouse gases. The more the population increases the more greenhouse gases that are produced and the greater the increase in temperature.The burning of fossil fuels is one of the best-known causes for global warming. The major reason for fossil fuels contributing so much to global warming is the release of carbon that occurs during the burning of fossil fuels. When people burn fossil fuels, they release large amounts of carbon by way of the release of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the air then leads to global warming.Another source of carbon dioxide comes from deforestation. In forests there is a large amount of carbon that is stored in the trees and other plants. This carbon is out of the atmosphere because the trees consume the carbon from carbon dioxide. When people cut down trees, they are frequently burned. This burning releases the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that was stored in organic matter. Even when new trees are planted, it can take up to one hundred years to make up for the carbon that was released. It is commonly thought that because trees absorb more carbon dioxide, the atmosphere experiences positive effects.Sophie Armstrong, the writer of Earth Care put it, “There’s no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer because of human activity rather than a random but natural phenomenon.21.Which of the following titles goes with the text?A.A Rising PopulationB.

A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. What happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at exactly the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude (前奏) to an unforeseen series of catastrophes.While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, smashing half your best pottery and cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, pottery, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered i n Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney. Durin g the rush hour one evening two cars collided (猛撞) and both drivers beganto argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got int o a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside the car, stopped all of a sudden. Thel orry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily ate what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!28.What would have most upset the woman the day everything went wrong for her?A.She had not expected her husband to arrive so early.B.The meal she had cooked for the three guests had got burnt.C.Her husband had not told her he was bringing anyone to dinner.D.She had not got enough pottery left to serve the meal with.29.What might have prevented a chain reaction following the beginning collision?A.If the two drivers who had collided had not begun to argue.B.Had there been a more experienced driver behind the two cars.C.If, instead of panicing, the woman had made no attempt to stop.D.Had the wife of the man who braked not thrown a cake through the window.30.There was a second angry argument because .A.the lorry driver blamed the owner of the cake for his accidentB.the t raffic was extremely slow to get on the move again.C.the lorry driver did not think he should be made to sweep up the glass.D.two dogs had eaten what was left of the cake.31.Which of the following sayings matches the situations in the passage?A.Practice makes perfect.B.While there is life, there is hope.C.He who laughs last laughs best.D.Misfortunes never come singly.DThat "Monday morning feeling" could bea crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath.Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higherrisk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 a.m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful timefor the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University. "We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇) but we don't know what actually causes heart attacks, sowe can't give clear advice on how to prevent them." he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressure of work.

Staying up late, devoting a whole day to nothing but tiredness?You’re doing it wrong. Remember: Learning is an art as well as a science. Then how can we learn more efficiently? Below are some tips about the science of successful learning. 36Pull up a seat, and start taking notes.1. 37 Handwriting is slow, so you have to think harder about the material to distill(提取) it. It might seem painful to put pen to paper, but you’ll save study time in the end.2.Don’t study without practice. 38 The constant repetition of remembering something isnot efficient. Searching your brain for what you’re trying to remember keeps things fresher. Ex periments showed those who took a test did better on a subsequent test than those who studied. It’s not just about remembering information, but using the brain muscles topractice retrieving (恢复) the informationtoo. That’s what a test requires of us.3.Sleep on it. Maybe you are accustomed to staying late before a test. But if you want to keep some information for long, plan your sleep time. Your brain needs time to catch up and process all you’ve stuffed (塞满) in there. 394.Test yourself. 40 This goes back to tip No. 2—finding ways to pull things from your mind.

It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspected.In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, she's all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “It's not bad you know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,”“not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,”“excellent,”“beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as restrained statement.56. According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in _______.A. habitsB. attitudesC. characterD. all of the above57. The underlined word “restrained” in the second paragraph probably means “”.A. calm and controlledB. polite and friendlyC. nervous and quietD. silent and kind58. In Britain, if you don't want other people to think you are strange, you'd better _________.A. talk with others as much as possibleB. behave just like the English doC. say no thing about yourselfD. shake hands with everyone you meet59. If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “________”.A. not badB. correctC. quite rightD. wonderful60. From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _________.A. doesn't like to show his feelings so muchB. has less emotion than people of other nationalitiesC. finds it easy to express his emotionD. likes to have a joke with strangersBDown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.61. If a person has his nose in the air, he ____.A. is down to the earthB. is easy to deal withC. always thinks he is more important than othersD. is confident62. If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____.A. is in touch with reality, and doesn't have any dreamsB. has some dreams but he is realisticC. is honest, open and easy to deal withD. is honest, open but hard to deal with63. From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually ________.A. help a student get down to the earthB. wake a student upC. help a daydreaming student come down to the groundD. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic64. The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.A. the person who has his nose in the air is not trueB. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligentC. the opposite direction is always wrongD. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth65. From the passage, we can infer the person who is _______ is the most popular kind of person.A. down-to-earthB. standing on the groundC. with his nose in the airD. with his head in the cloudsCFrom their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic system of government. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, where they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They also elected the town's officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually held at the town hall, which was located in the central square.In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, all citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities. In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated. There are open sessions of this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in order to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.66. At a town meeting, people do the following things EXCEPT __________.A. express their opinions about the governmentB. elect officials of the townsC. make a decision about whom they should marryD. discuss some community matters67. In the 18th century, who had the right to vote?A. All the citizens.B. All the men except those who were church members.C. The rich.D. The rich men and the church members.68. Why has the town meeting been widely imitated?A. Because many people are interested in it.B. Because it is very democratic.C. Because many people enjoy themselves at town meetings.D. Because sometimes government agencies call them.69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Citizens can elect the officials in the town meeting.B. In recent years, town meetings are often called by a government agency.C. People can say what they want to say at the town meeting.D. Nowadays this kind of meeting is also held on radio and television.70. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. the New England town meetingB. modern town meetingsC. a democratic meetingD. New England townsDMost Americans believe that someone isn't grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center.The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations awa y from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.71. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _______.A. has found a full-time jobB. has finished his study in universityC. can make money and support himself after completing his educationD. can support a family and be financially independent after graduation72. A young man of 24 may be busy ________.A. finding a jobB. finding a girl friendC. making moneyD. preparing for his wedding73. The underlined word “status” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.A. positionB. rankC. levelD. situation74. From the passage, we learn that _________.A. being grown-up is just a matter of ageB. being grown-up is a process which takes some timeC. all people think completing education means being grown-upD. the survey found everyone had a different view about being grown-up75. The best title for the passage should be “________”A. It takes a long time to grown up.B. Are we grown-up yet?C. Getting married means being grown-up.D. Completing education means being grown-up.IV 阅读表达阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。
