BIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A. It is wise to value one’s time.B. It is important to make an effortC. It is right to stick to one’s belief.D. It is enough to do the necessary.62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.A. recite their homework togetherB. grade their homework themselvesC. answer their homework questions orallyD. check the answers to their homework questions63. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.A. asked questions in a regular wayB. walked up and down when asking questionsC. chose two or three questions for the studentsD. requested her students to finish their usual questions64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.A. the class didn’t begin as us ualB. several students didn’t come to schoolC. he didn’t try hard to make his estimateD. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable TeacherB. A Future MathematicianC. An Effective ApproachD. A V aluable LessonCThe behaviour of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own — though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率), which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,’ explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, ‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.’In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面）,suggesting that individuals’ behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.66. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.A. zero-carbon homesB. the behaviour of building usersC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions67. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to”________.”A. the waysB. their homesC. developmentsD. existing efforts68. What are Katy Janda’s words mainly about?A. The importance of changing building users, habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building design.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.69. The information gap in energy use _______.A. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB. affects the study on energy monitorsC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users’ old habits70. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A. The social science research is to be furthered.B. The education programme is under discussion.C. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.D. The behaviour preference of building users is similar. Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many of us invest valuable time, energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK - but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (组成部分)• Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness - time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing co ntributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions. Second, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Kids and PondsYears ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood.One day, a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominiums. So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures (签名）to stop the development A group of citizens met and decided to support him.At the meeting of the town planning board (委员会),the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly. But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds, his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children. A few days later, the developer stopped his plan.Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again appeared before the town planning board. This time as an expert witness, he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the development. Finally some condominiums were built, but less than half the number the developer wanted. The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land, and are still there today.81.

He has taken on a vast topic: thousands of years, two huge continents, and cultures."—Charles Matthews, San Jese Mercary News"Powerful and challenging"—Alan Taylor, Washington post"A pleasure to read as well as a wonderful education"—Howard Zinn(1) On the whole, 1491 is a book mainly about America's.A. life-stylesB. populationC. historyD. agriculture(2) Which of the following as NOT TRUE about the comments on the book 1491?A. It is interesting and instructive.B. It is attractive and culturally related.C. It is challenging and revolutionary.D. It is humorous and persuasive.(3) From this passage, we can learn.A. people settled in the America a little earlier than 1942B. North Americans were the tallest in the 18th century in the worldC. Mesoamerican farmers knew genetic engineering 5, 000 years agoD. the population in the Americas was smaller than that in Europe in 149218、【来源】 2006年高考真题湖南卷（B篇）第59~62题8分(每题2分)For the first time in modern history, less than half of the U.S. adult population now reads literature, according to a recent survey. Reading at Risk—A Survey of Literary Reading in America presents a detailed review of the decline of reading's role in the nation's culture.Reading at Risk is a survey of national fashion in adult literary reading. The data source for Reading at Risk is as reliable and objective （客观的） as any such survey can be. The key results of the survey are presented in the "Summary", but the report can be further explained as: literary reading in America is not only declining rapidly among all groups, but the rate of declining has been speeded up, especially among the young. Reading at Risk merely shows a great cultural change that most Americans have already noted—our society's great turn to electronic media for entertainment and information.Reading a book requires a degree of active attention and devotion. Indeed, reading itself is a progressive skill that depends on years of education and practice. On the contrary, most electronic media such as television, recordings, and radio make fewer demands on their audiences, and indeed require no more than passive participation. While oral culture has a rich reality and electronic media offer the considerable advantages of variety, print culture affords irreplaceable forms of focused and thought than make various communications and views possible. The decline in reading, therefore, equals a larger retreat （减少） from participation in public and cultural life.What is to be done? There is surely no single solution to the present problem, just as there is no single cause. The important thing now is to understand that America can no longer take active and devoted reading for granted.Reading is not a timeless, common ability. As more Americans love this ability, our nation becomes less informed, active, and independent minded. There are not qualities that a free, inventive, or productive society can afford to love.(1) The main purpose of the survey is to.A. focus on the role of electronic media and readingB. show that American young people read less and lessC. give a report of the national of literary readingD. review that less that half of the population now reads literature(2) According to the passage, reading.A. requires less attention and devotionB. demands no more than passive participationC. limits various communications and viewsD. means active participation in public and cultural life(3) The underlined phrase "cultural change" in Paragraph 2 refers to thechange.A. from oral culture to electronic mediaB. from print culture to electronic to electronic mediaC. from electronic media to oralD. from electronic media to print culture(4) The author of the passage.A. misunderstands oral cultureB. doubts the Americans to read moreC. encourages the Americans to read moreD. agrees to the solution to present problem in reading19、【来源】 2006年高考真题湖南卷（C篇）第63~66题8分(每题2分)The coyote （丛林狼） that clever animal of wide-open spaces, has come to the nation's capital. In fact, coyotes have spread to every corner of the United States, changing their behaviors to fit new environments and causing researchers to deal with a troublesome new kind of creature: the city coyote.The coyote originally lived in the middle of the continent. One of its most obvious characters is its smartness, which has made the animal a notorious （臭名昭著的） pest. Hunters trapped, shot and poisoned more than a million coyotes in the 1900s. It's still one of America's most hunted animals. Yet the coyote has survived. How has the coyote shown this extraordinary ability? "I guess if you wanted to use one word, it'd be plasticity." says Erie Gese, an expert at Utah State University. Coyotes can live alone, in pairs, or in large packs like wolves, hunt at night or during the day, occupy a small region or an area up to 40 square miles, and live on all sorts of food, from lizards （蜥蜴） and shoes, to ants and melons.Unbelievably people helped coyotes increase when they killed most of the wolves in the United States. The spreading of coyotes into city areas, though, is recent. They travel at night, crossing sidewalks and bridges, running along roads and ducking into culverts （钻入洞） and underpasses. No one knows whycoyotes are moving into cities, but experts explain that cleverer, more human-tolerant （不怕人的）coyotes are teaching urban survival skills to new generations.Occasionally, coyotes might attack human beings. There have been about 160 attacks on people in recent years. Therefore, people have been consistently told not to feed coyotes or leave pet food unsecured. That, plus a large trapping program in the neighborhood, has cut down on the coyote population.(1) The underlined word "plasticity" in Paragraph 2 refers to.A. the ability to fit the environmentB. notorious smartnessC. hunting abilityD. being human-tolerant(2) The aim of the passage is to.A. tell people how to fight against coyotesB. tell us why the coyote is the most hunted animalC. supply the reason why the coyote is a kind of notorious pestD. explain how the coyote has spread to and survived in cities(3) According to the passage, coyote.A. originally lived in the west of the continentB. sleep dung the day but look for food at nightC. are teaching survival skills to their younger generationsD. Suffered a population decrease because people killed wolves(4) According to the passage, to cut down on the coyote population, people are advisedto.A. leave pet food securedB. keep coyotes in small regionsC. for coyotes to live aloneD. avoid using trapping programs20、【来源】 2006年高考真题湖南卷（D篇）第67~70题8分(每题2分)The discovery of a dwarfed （矮个的） "human being" who lived in Flores, Indonesia, up to 18, 000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family. This "Flores Human" was three foot tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp （黑猩猩）. Yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even buried their dead with ceremony.It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils （化石） from our own species; Homo sapiens （智人）；and the oldest of them were made 94, 000 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40, 000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. If this tiny human made the tools, then the inside structure （结构） of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimp's, despite being just a third the size of ours.This "new human" was suspected to be a dwarfed ranch of Homo erectus （直立人）. When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping even improving mental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.Has the "Flores Human" even shown the ability of language? "I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication." Wills says. Did "Flores Human" possess the basic components of human culture such as the burying of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Bruner of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesia's hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18, 000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care.(1) According to the passage, "Flores Human".A. lived a partly human lifeB. was a branch of Homo sapiensC. used tools before Homo sapiens arrivedD. had a brain as a common chimp's(2) The underlined part "this tiny human" in Paragraph 2 refers to.A. a chimpB. Flores HumanC. Homo sapiensD. Homo erectus(3) This passage mainly talks about.A. the tools made by Flores HumanB. the language used by Flores HumanC. the evolution of Flores HumanD. the major surprising findings about Flores Human(4) According to the passage, it is believed that "Flores Human".A. was dwarfed by its enemiesB. could use languageC. left a lot of fossils in hot and wet environmentD. reached Flores 40, 000 years ago21、【来源】 2006年高考真题湖南卷（E篇）第71~75题10分(每题2分)Susan Sontag （1933—2004） was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment,TAL#NBSP Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong watchwords （格言）. But at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In "Notes Camp", the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. "Notes on Camp", she wrote, represents "a victory of 'form' over 'content', 'beauty' over 'morals'".By conviction （信念） she was a sensualist （感觉论者）, but by nature she was a moralist （伦理学者）, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities （被压抑的性格）, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit. In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lastingfame. "Sometimes, " she once said, "I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending… is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness." And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.(1) The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag.A. was a symbol of American cultural lifeB. developed world literature, film and artC. published many essays about world cultureD. kept pace with the newest development of world culture(2) She first won her name through.A. her story of a Polish actressB. her book illness as MetaphorC. publishing essays in magazines like partisan ReviewD. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings(3) According to the passage, Susan Sontag.A. was a sensualist as well as a moralistB. looked down upon the pop cultureC. thought content was more important than formD. blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed(4) As for Susan Sontag's lifelong habit, she.A. misunderstood the idea of seriousnessB. re-examined old positionsC. argued for an openness to pop cultureD. preferred morals to beauty(5) Susan Sontag's lasting fame was made upon.A. a tireless, all-purpose cultural viewB. her lifelong watchword: seriousnessC. publishing books on moralsD. enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing四、阅读填空（每小题1分，共10分）22、【来源】 2006年高考真题湖南卷第76~85题10分(每题1分)阅读短文，根据所读内容在文后1~10的空格里填上相应的单词或短语。

Reading Comprehension (50 points)Task l (2 points each, 10 points in all)Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.46 through No. 50). For each question or statement there are 4 choices. You should make the correct choice and put the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Who takes care of the elderly in the United States today？The fact is that family members provide over 80% of the care that elderly people need. In most cases the elderly live in their own homes: A very small percentage of America’s elderly live in nursing homes.Samuel Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches about 40 years of age, their parents are usually still alive. The statistics show the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging (老龄化) Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventually die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses(配偶) will probably take care of them because they have had fewer children than their parents did.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of care-giving to improve the care of the elderly. They have found that all care-givers share a common characteristic: They believe that they are the best people for the job. The social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative.

His various methods of trick, which were also skills of self-protection, were so skillful and so desperate（绝望）that neither I nor any of his other adult friends were aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one night at a local restaurant-and suddenly discovered that he could not read.Even here, it was not the first time we went out to eat, but something like the second or third, that Peter's desperation shocked me. The first time, he was clever enough to cover the truth. He studied the menu for a moment, then looked up to the waitress and asked her if he could have "just a coke and a hamburger". He told me later that he had done the same thing many times before and that he had learned to act as if he were examining the menu:" Then I ask for a coke and a hamburger...Sometimes they give me a hamburger on a plate with salad and potatoes...Then I ask them for a roll and make my own hamburger. "As we began to go out to eat more frequently, Peter would ask to go to Howard Johnson’s.I soon discovered the reason for his choice: The photographs, attached in cellophane (玻璃纸)containers to each of the standard items on the menu, could help him not to struggle with the shape of words at all. Howard Johnson’s, whether intentionally or not, had provided the perfect escape for the endangered pride of an adult who was illiterate(文盲).51.

What did the young man usually have at a restaurant?A. Standard items on the menu.B. A hamburger made by himself.C. Foods that other people ordered.D. A coke and a hamburger.54.

Howard Johnson's provided a perfect escape when anything dangerous should happenB. The menu at Howard Johnson's gave a clear introduction of the food it served.C.

He would feel at ease because eaters at Howard Johnson's were all adult non-readersTask 3(3 points each, 15 points in all)Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No.56 through No. 60).After practicing as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Giroux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons（美国外科医生学会），a highly selective and distinguished （著名的) professional organization.As part of the application procedure(手续) ,Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have given one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have...Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Cinoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms,the more depressed she became.

Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depend on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, t0 4 university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in their intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.61. If a child is born with low intelligence, he cans _ .A. not reaches his intelligence in his lifeB. goes beyond his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsC. still becomes a genius if he should be given special educationD. become a genius62.
