(Choose two.)A. He is the only one of the students who has passed the exam.B. He is the only one of the students who have passed the exam.C. None of the students have passed the exam.D. None of the students has passed the exam.Answers: A, DExplanation: In sentence A, “who has passed the exam” is correct because “the only one” refers to a singular subject. In sentence D, “None of the students has passed the exam” is correct because “none” is a singular pronoun and requires a singular verb.Question 2:Choose the two options that best complete the sentence:The teacher_______the students_______their homework before class.A. told; to doB. asked; doC. requested; to completeD. ordered; completingAnswers: A, CExplanation: Both “tell sb. to do sth.” and “request sb. to do sth.” are correct expressions. “Ask” usually requires a di rect object and an indirect object or a to-infinitive with “to” omitted, so B is incorrect. “Order” can be used with a to-infinitive, but “completing” is the present participle form, so D is incorrect.Question 3:Identify the two phrasal verbs that match the definition: to go or move forward slowly or gradually.A. move aheadB. move onC. move upD. edge forwardE. edge upAnswers: A, DExplanation: “Move ahead” and “edge forward” both mean to go or move forward slowly or gradually. “Move on” usually means to continue with something, while “move up” and “edge up” have different meanings.Question 4:Which two of the following are correct uses of the subjunctive mood?A. If I were you, I would not do that.B. If I was you, I wouldn’t do that.C. She insists that he be present at the meeting.D. She insists that he is present at the meeting.Answers: A, CExplanation: In the subjunctive mood, “were” is used instead of “was” in the second conditional (as in A), and the base form of the verb (without “s” or “es”) is used after verbs like “insist” when referring to a necessity or demand (as in C).Question 5:Which two prepositions are used correctly in the sentence?The cat jumped_______the table and landed_______its feet.A. on; onB. onto; onC. on; inD. onto; inAnswers: BExplanation: “Onto” is used to indicate movement onto a surface, while “on” is used to indicate position on a surface. In this sentence, “the cat jumped onto the table” indicates movement, and “landed on its feet” indicates position. Therefore, B is the only correct combination.四、阅读理解（每题4分）Title: The Power of ReadingReading is an incredible tool that has the power to transform lives. It opens up a world of possibilities, taking us to places we’ve never been, introducing us to people we’ve never met, and teaching us lessons we never knew. The benefits of reading are numerous and extend far beyond just improving literacy skills.Firstly, reading helps us expand our vocabulary. As we read, we encounter new words and learn their meanings. This, in turn, improves our ability to communicate effectively. Secondly, reading stimulates our imagination. Books, especially those in the fiction category, offer us the opportunity to escape reality and immerse ourselves in a different world. This exercise of our imagination can lead to increased creativity.Moreover, reading is a great way to reduce stress. When we read, we enter a zone of relaxation where our minds are focused on the story, rather than our worries or daily troubles. This mental escape can help us unwind and recharge.Lastly, but certainly not least, reading is a source of inspiration. Many successful people attribute their achievements to the books they’ve read. These books have provided them with ideas, motivation, and the courage to pursue their dreams.In conclusion, the power of reading is undeniable. It has the ability to enrich our lives, expand our horizons, and inspire us to be better versions of ourselves.Questions:1.What is the main purpose of the passage? (4 points)•Answer: To emphasize the benefits and power of reading.2.According to the passage, what is one of the benefits of reading? (4 points) •Answer: It helps us expand our vocabulary.3.How does reading stimulate our imagination? (4 points)•Answer: By offering us the opportunity to escape reality and immerse ourselves in a different world.4.What is reading a great way to do? (4 points)•Answer: Reduce stress.5.What do many successful people attribute their achievements to? (4 points) •Answer: The books they’ve read.五、作文（30分）Title: The Impact of Technology on Our LivesDirections: Write an essay of about 150 words on the topic “The Impact of Technology on Our Lives.” You should include your opinion on the positive and negative aspects of technology and how it has changed our lives.Example:In today’s fast-paced world, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, learn, and even think. The advent of smartphones and the internet has brought a wealth of information to our fingertips, enabling us to access knowledge and entertainment at the click of a button. However, this technological advancement also has its drawbacks. The excessive use of screens has led to a rise in health issues like eye strain and neck pain. Moreover, technology has also caused a decline in social interactions, as people tend to spend more time on their devices rather than engaging with others face-to-face.Despite these challenges, technology has undoubtedly improved our lives in many ways. It has made our work more efficient, our travel easier, and our entertainment more diverse. The key is to strike a balance between embracing the benefits of technology andmitigating its negative impacts. By doing so, we can ensure that technology continues to serve as a force for positive change in our lives.。

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red ? If you do , you must be an optimist , a leader , or an active person who enjoys life , people and excitement . Do you prefer gray or blue ? 71 If you love green , you are strong-minded and determined . 72 At least this is what psychologists tell us , and they should know , because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference , and the effect that colors have on human beings.73 A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one , and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day . 74 Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active . It is a fact that factory workers work better , harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray .Remember , then , that if you feel low , you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things . 75 And don’t forget that anyone can guess about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a coat.A. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful .B. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike.C. No one can choose his color preference in his life .D. Color preference can help you see through your enemies.E. Different colors have different effects.F. On the other hand , black is depressing.G. Then you are probably quiet , shy and you would rather follow than lead.2. Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown．Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger．You may probably miss your friends from high school．1 College is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends．The question is: how ?▲ Get to know your roommate．You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate, but even if you are completely different from each other, with a little effort and understanding the two of you may become best friends．▲ 2If you leave your door open, this shows that you welcome visitors．As a result people will naturally stop in and say hello．Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold．Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship．▲Join clubs or organizations．Getting involved in organized socialization is a great way to meet new people．3 By staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests．▲Talk to classmates．4 Starting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are．Short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendships．▲Try out for a sport．If you're athletic, trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing that joining a club will do． 5A．Close the door to keep away from theft．B．Hang a welcome sign on your dorm room．C．It also helps you get more familiar with the campus．D．Your roommate is the first person you will have close contact with．E．You will instantly meet a large group of people who share your interests in sports．F．Get to know your classmates as you'll be spending several months with them．G．Trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feelings of being lonely．3. Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?Here are some tips from Dr．Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．1．Laceration （裂口）The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．【小题1】A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep．However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention,2．Fingertips cut offSome injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery （外科手术）to repair．【小题2】More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．3．Bleeding【小题3】Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous （静脉的）bleeding．This means the blood flows steadily from the injury．The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound．In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial （动脉的）bleeding．__【小题4】_Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection．Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water．_【小题5】Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip．C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possibleD．The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth．E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．G The length is usually not as important as the depth．4. What should you think about in trying to find your career（职业）? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. 1 A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. 2 So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. 3 Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.4 If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. 5 Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.A．He may do well in his future work.B．It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.C．Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.D．These may show strengths（优势）that you can use in your work.E. Your school must have taught you the skills.F. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.G. If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it.第II卷（非选择题）请修改第II卷的文字说明评卷人得分二、单项填空5.

Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee 1 your day?One day I was in a taxi and we headed 2 the airport. We were driving in the 3 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 4 ，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 5 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started 6 at us.My taxi driver just 7 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 8 . So I asked，"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 9 , full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment. As their garbage 10 up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 11 ．Don’t ta ke it personally. Just smile, wave，wish them well，and move on.Believe me.

The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to 1 students’ strong interest in computers?Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 2 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is 3 about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology.4 5 whether they can make useof computers effectively.Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see 6 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present,20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject 7 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the 8 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 9 to see the policy through.Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to 10 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 11 IT learning has just started. All teachers—including the seniors who are very 12 in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to 13 from the very beginning. They will become 14 and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have 15 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 16 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then 17 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his 18 through the computer before class comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning19 . 20 the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not so sure.1.A.show B.be C.match D.have2.A.with B.to C.in D.from3.A.no reason B.no doubt C.no need D.no time4.A.However B.Therefore C.And D.So5.A.depends on B.leads to C.results in D.believes in6.A.that B.such C.what D.how7.A.the usual way B.the regular wayC.the best wayD.the new way8.A.fact B.message C.news D.truth9.A.easy B.helpful C.hard D.fast10.A.sit for B.run for C.give D.attend11.A.for which B.that C.where D.which12.A.interested B.satisfied C.successful D.experienced13.A.work B.start C.teach D.manage14.A.pleased B.disappointed C.certain fortable15.A.ordered B.improved C.encouraged D.instructed16.A.methods B.skills C.programs D.performances17.A.make a living B.give lessonsC.go to lecturesD.does work18.A.work-mates B.headmastersC.instructorsD.students19.A.skills B.experiences C.duties D.methods20.A.As B.So long as C.Even though D.As far as19. “Just sign here, sir,” the d eliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.The package consisted of a long , narrow box ___1____ wrapped in brown paper. __2___ the box, Oscar saw an umbrella inside—— a very old one with a beautifully carved handle. ____3___He had not seen it in more than 20 years, he recognized it ____4____.Oscar was 16 when he first saw the ___5____ umbrella.

I had a very special teacher many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his 41 , she shared her insights(顿悟) with the students. When the class was nearly over, she 42 and said, “I would like to 43 with all of you a thought that has 44 to do with class, but which I feel is very _45 . “Each of us is put here on the _46 to learn, share, love and appreciate ourselves. None of us knows when this _47 will end. At any moment it can be _48 . Perhaps this is life’s way of telling us that we must make good _49 of every day.” Her eyes beginning to _50 ,she went on saying, “So I would like you all to 51 me. From now on, on your way home, find something _52 to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see——it could be scent(香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the 53 of the wind slightly rustling(发出沙沙声) the leaves.”“Please look for these things, and 54 them. The little things are put here on the earth for us to enjoy. They are _55 observing, for at any time they can all be taken away.”The class was totally quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room_56 . That afternoon, on my way home I noticed_57 things than before. Every time I think of that teacher and remember what a(n) 58 she made on all of us, I try to 59 all of those things that sometimes we all ignore.

The crowd of dealers, collectors, bargain-hunters and plain sale-goers walked about examining this and that and generally having a last look round before the excitement of the sale. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there.The room was half full of chairs. These carried the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fireplace stood the salesman's desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand, an eye, or even an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid. Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and the cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking out of place.Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket. The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His assistants followed him in and took their places.“Ladies and gentlemen, ”the salesman said, “I have been informed to tell you that everything m ust be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. We are now ready to begin, and we do so with Lot Number One …”At this point two strong-looking men lifted on to the central table a large wooden chest. It seemed too big for a modern house.“Lot Number One is an oak chest. Now what am I bid for this fine old chest? Do I hear ￡20? No? ￡10 then. DoI hear ￡10? Come along, ladies and gentlemen, this chest is solid oak. The wood alone is worth ￡40, so make me an offer for Lot Number One, just to get us started. ”His eyes swung round the room.“One pound, ”a woman's voice called.“One pound I'm bid, ”said the salesman eagerly, “for this splendid chest. Any advance on ￡1 now? One pound I'm bid. Do I hear two? No? Going at one pound then. No advance on ￡1? Going at ￡1. One pound. ”He brought his wooden hammer down sharply on to his desk.

The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic (共生的) existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.1. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is______.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets2. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the vitality of the ocean.D. To prove the vastness of the sea.3. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to______.A. a beautiful and poetic placeB. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful worldD. a lovely animal23.

Kincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt impressed，stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s。

Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed(紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them ,I hand no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World war I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door . but I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals , the local birds and above all ,the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people's observations and discoveries .then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜) , because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books ,which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity ,a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made .A naturalist is born . If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.56. According to the author , a born naturalist should first of all be _____A. full of enthusiasmB. self-disciplinedC. full of imaginationD. knowledgeable57.

The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _____A. just reads about other people's observations and discoveriesB. comes up with solutions in most natural waysC. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticD. lacks some of the qualities required of scientist59. Which of the following statement is true?A. The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.B. The author's brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.C.

But who has ever heard a song for the man who comes in second?So this is in praise of the almost winner, the nearly champion（冠军）, the next to the biggest, the second best. This is the song of Mister Two.You hear unflattering（不讨好人的）names for Mister Two. "Alsoran", they call him, and "runner-up", names that make you think of a fellow who couldn't quite make it. Don't let that fool you.Ask the winner of any race how good a man Mister Two is. He will tell you it's Mister Two who made him run so fast, Mister Two is always threatening to overtake and pass him.Ask the salesman who won the contest and what kept him looking for extra order. Ask the directors of the big company why they keep changing their product, seeking the new equipment, the added advantage. What drives them? What keeps them going? It's the salesman with nearly as many orders. It is the company with the product almost as good. It's Mister Two.In this country, we're proud of the quality of our champions. Our big men come very big. Our fast men run very fast. Our wise men are the wisest and our greatest men are the greatest that a country could hope to be blessed with. And why is that? It is Mister Two that makes the race always open and everybody can run.So this is for you, Mister Two. This is your song. This is for all the days you tried for first, and came in second. It's for the nights when you wonder if you ought to go on trying, since nobody seems to notice.We notice, Mister Two. We know the score. Winner or not, you're a natural champion. There couldn't be a race without you, Mister Two.60. People usually call Mister Two unflattering names to ______ him.A. praiseB. encourageC. laugh atD. respect61.

The person who wins needs to understand that ______ .A. winning is everythingB. being Mister Two is wonderfulC. without Mister Two he would do betterD. without strong competition he wouldn't have worked so hardCWe can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience,by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it's not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we aretold even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.That's what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping(打上标记)it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.64. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.A. doing a medical experimentB. solving a math problemC. visiting an exhibitionD. doing scientific reasoning65. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.A. a message may be changed when being passed onB. a message should be delivered in different waysC. people may have problems with their sense of hearingD. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor66. What can we infer from the passage?A. Active learning is less important.B. Passive learning may not be reliable.C. Active learning occurs more frequently.D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.DI was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA company. Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town's only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint. I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. I could not see his face and he did not even raise his head at the sound of my footsteps.Discreetly(谨慎地), I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. Itwas when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.67. At what time was the story set?A. An early winter morning.B. A cold winter afternoon.C. An early summer morning.D. A windy summer afternoon.68. Which of the following words best describe the writer's impression of the town?A. Cold and frightening.B. Dirty and crowded.C. Empty and dead.D. Unusual and unpleasant.69. The author was astonished to a stop as he went forward to the call box because _______.A. the man inside was still wearing a raincoatB. he didn't expect it to be taken upC. the man had his back with himD. the man did not seem to be moving70. Why didn't the man raise his head when the writer came near?A. He was annoyed at being seen by the writer.B. He was angry at being disturbed by the writer.C. He was probably fast asleep.D. He was probably murdered.四、任务型阅读（1’×10=10’）The modern Olympic Games were founded with the intention of improving health and education, promoting world peace and encouraging fair and equal competition. But over the years, the Olympic saying, "Faster, higher, stronger", has pushed scientists as well as athletes to do everything possible to reach new levels.Doctors, engineers and coaches all use everything science can offer to achieve that little bit extra in competition. The reason modern technology has become part of sport is very simple: Winning is just as important as it was 2,500 years ago at the Olympics of ancient Greece. Development in technology has often been reflected in the methods of training and performance used at the Olympics through history. This technology falls into two main fields: improving an athlete's performance in competition, and allowing results to be measured more accurately.One of the creations that have drawn the most attention is the new high-tech swimsuit from Speedo, which was used by most US swimmers in Athens. Until Sydney 2000, it was thought that the smaller the swimsuit, the faster the swimmer would travel."However, the fact that at the Sydney Olympics, 28 of the 33 gold medalists were wearing the body covering Fastskin suit proved the theory was out of date," said Andy Thomas, vice-president of Speedo.The company's full body suit is supposed to make swimmers 3 to 4 percent faster, particularly when turning or diving into the water. It is believed that the suit creates less water resistance as it moves, behaving more like a shark skin than a human skin. The introduction of high-tech equipment means that athletes in all sports, from the 100-metre sprint（短跑）to the pole vault （撑杆跳高）, can now train more effectively and nourish（给…以营养）their bodies better. Meanwhile, scientific development also means performances can be measured and studied far more accurately. Not only are winning times more accurately recorded, but cheating athletes are also easier to catch out. According to International Olympic Committee（IOC）requirements, two independent measuring systems should be used at all venues（比赛地点）. Athens 2004 organizers used only the very latest equipment to measure distance and speed.五、首字母填空Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is w __________ they have been told all their life. But a new report offers some different advice. Experts s __________ people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like d __________ .The report says most healthy people m __________ their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, which p __________ scientific and technical advice to the government and the public. The report contains some general suggestions. It says w should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But in each case, that is more than eight glasses.There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water are n to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water.As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically a __________ . The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do.All this, however, does not a __________ one question. No one seems sure why people have the i that good health requires eight glasses of water daily. It may have started with a misunderstanding.六、词汇(1’×10=10’)1.Every great achievement is a dream before it becomes a r _________.2.The fact that so many people still smoke in public places suggests that we may need a nationwide c __________ to raise awareness of the risks of smoking.mercial advertisements sometimes use persuasive words to t_______us into buying their products.4.The government is trying to do something to p __________ better understanding between the two countries.5.To be a good manager, you are r __________ to have a clear understanding of business management as well as the skill of communicating with people.6.The new technology has been a __________ to farming.

I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖).Buying for BeginnersSign up on . Most items (e.g. tables, computers and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish, you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.How to PaySellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.Selling Made SimpleIf you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.The big Things in LifeIt's easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collectively sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.41. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to make payment online.B. Ways of making delivery online.C. How to use an online-auction system.D. Advantages of an online auction system.42. After bidding for an item, a buyer ______.A. has chances to make higher bids.B. will get what he wants in ten days.C. should make payment immediatelyD. may check its picture and description.43. You should ______ if the item is being auctioned.A. increase the price little by littleB. get the others not bidC. ask the other people’s priceD. offer the highest price you are ready to pay44. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is ______.A. through a local banking systemB. by sending the money to the sellerC. through an online payment systemD. by paying the deliveryman directlyBAt 2:30 December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Tailor was the group leader. At about 3:40, Tailor reported that his compasses (指南针) were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly, first east,then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Tailor was heard to give orders to dive.Quickly, two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later, the wind became strong and visibility (能见度) dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100,000 square-mile area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle.The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a particular place in the Gulf of Mexico, west of Florida. It is a two-faced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs, powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.45. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The wind was strong when the training planes took off.B. Tailor was given wrong orders to dive.C. The compasses didn’t work properly.D. The missing planes were found several hours later.46. How many planes disappeared altogether that day?A. Five.B. Six.C. Two.D. Only one.47. The word “comb” in the passage means ______.A. cover withB. fly overC. do up one’s hair with a combD. search all overCOver the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined (决定) to a certain degree by genes (基因). However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex (复杂). In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways－scientists or actors, for example－may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desire－not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health－rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距). Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” Says Michalos.Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad. “Given (鉴于) all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen.In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, but negative emotions much less often. Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their goals, only setting ones that they know they can achieve. But Carstensen thinks that with times running out, olderpeople have learned to focus on t hings that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.48. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness ______.A. is determined partly by genesB. increases slowly with ageC. has little to do with wealthD. is measured (衡量) only by desires49. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs ______.A. make them feel much betterB. provide chances to make friendsC. improve their social positionD. satisfy their professional interests50. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if ______.A. the gap between reality and desire is biggerB. they have a stronger desire for friendshipC. their income is below their expressionD. the hope for good health is greater51. According to the passage, which of the following is not the reason why old people are happier?A. They may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it.B. They’re more realistic about their goals, only setting easy ones.C. They have learned to focus on things that make them happy.D. They hardly let go of things that make them unhappy.DIn 1922, a British explorer named Howard Carter found an ancient tomb in Egypt.In ancient Egypt, many tombs were built like houses. Anybody could build a tomb for themselves and their family.Long before they died, the ancient Egyptians began making items to place inside their tomb. These items were called grave goods.People loved making grave goods. It was a family activity. They made grave goods their whole life. They made dolls and baskets and jewelry and little statues of workers and all kinds of things.Then, as a family outing, they would visit their tomb, and place the grave goods they had made locked safely inside.The next time they visited their tomb, they would bring more grave goods. By the time died, their tomb was full of wonderful memories of their life in Egypt, as well as with miniature sized things they might need in the afterlife. That was the ancient Egyptian way.Pharaohs (法老), of course, were special. They also had tombs, really big ones. They also had grave goods, really beautiful ones, made of gold and silver by the finest craftsmen in the land. As well, people from all Egypt brought gifts to include in the pharaoh’s tomb. Artists painted the walls. Pharaohs’ tombs were splendid things.Every time a new pharaoh came to power, work started immediately on building their tomb.As modern archaeologists (考古学家) opened the tombs of the ancient pharaohs, they found the tombs of the ancient pharaohs, they found that many of them had been robbed and their treasures removed.One day, in 1922, an archaeologist named Howard Carter was working in Egypt. He found a really small tomb. He didn’t think much about it because it was so small. He figured it was the tomb of a commoner (平民). You can imagine his excitement when he opened the door and realized he had found the tomb of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, a tomb so small that it had been overlooked for thousands of years!From the hieroglyphic (象形的) writing on the walls, Howard Carter knew who was buried in the tomb. It was a young pharaoh named King Tutankhamun, King Tut for short. Today, we know what King Tut looked like because Howard Carter found a solid gold mask inside the tomb, designed like the pharaoh’s face.King Tut was only nine years old when he became Pharaoh. He was only 18 years old when he died. King Tut’s tomb was very small compared to the tombs of other pharaohs because the people did not have alot of time to build it.Some archaeologist think grave robbers might have broken in because a bag of gold rings was found on the floor, as if dropped in haste (匆忙). Other think that perhaps the bag simply fell, perhaps when the ancient Egyptians sealed the tomb. If robbers did find their way inside, they certainly did not take everything. Howard Carter and his team found many treasures inside the tomb. It was almost like entering a time machine.52. The passage is mainly about ______.A. how Egyptians built tombsB. what Egyptians put tombsC. what King Tut’s tomb looked likeD. how Carter discovered the tomb53. What might NOT be included in a commoner’s tomb in ancient Egypt?A. Dolls and baskets.B. Treasure.C. Miniature sized things.D. A solid gold mask.54. What can we learn about King Tut’s tomb from the passage?A. Its size i s much bigger than that of a commoner’s.B. It had been overlooked for thousands of years because it’s too small.C. The hieroglyphic writing on the walls showed what King Tut looked like.D. Some tomb robbers dropped a bag of gold rings on its floor in haste.55. According to the passage, which of the statements is true?A. Shortly after an Egyptian died, their family began making grave goods for him.B. Pharaohs’ tombs were splendid things, full of gifts from all over the Egypt.C. Compared with the tombs of other pharaohs, King Tut’s tomb was very big.D. King Tut’s tomb had never been broken into before Carter discovered it.四、缺词填空(0.5’ x 10 = 5’)There is a difference between a common cold and the flu (流感).

He was weak and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note, reading, ‘Drink your juice.” Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as my father had ever been able to do in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned mom, “Why doesn’t father love me?”Mom frowned, “Who said he doesn’t love you?” “Well , he never tells me,” I complained. “He never tells me either.”S he said, smiling. “But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That’s how your father tells us he loves us.”I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my fathe r to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. He owned and operated a small scrap metal (废旧金属) business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. He fed scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father’s body. If he didn’t feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. “Why don’t you hire someone to do that for you?” mom asked him one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. “Why don’t you hire a cook?” my father asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, “I love you, father.”From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.4.

The author’s father didn’t hire a helper because .A. his job was too dangerousB. his job required high skillsC. he wanted to save moneyD. he was not good at working with others6.

What’s the passage about?A. The proper attitude towards life.B. The importance of education.C. Silent fatherly love.D. Ways to live happily.CAmerican researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein(蛋白质)” in the brain.The study, conducted by neuroscientists （神经学家）and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein.The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. "This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocalcalls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy."Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals."8. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.A. women always speak more words than menB. men and male rats have low levels of language proteinC. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2D. McCarthy isn’t the fir st to find females more talkative9. The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. paid attention toB. related toC. put pressure onD. counted on10. The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humansB. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are differentC. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male ratsD. discover the association between Foxp2protein and vocal communication11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?A. Tests on humans and ratsB. Why women are the talkative sexC. Sex differences in Foxp2 proteinD. Foxp2 protein determines oral abilityDBaby girls make their way to dolls as son as they can crawl(爬), and boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings-the first t o show consistent differences in very young babies-suggest there is a biological basis for their prefer ences.Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months. They were allowed to choose from 7 toys. Some were boys’toys-a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys; a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.Of the youngest children (9 to 14 months), girls spent much longer time playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and the ball than the girls did. Among the two and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ views on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choices.Dr Brenda Todd said, “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preferences. But these findings are consistent with the former idea that children show intrinsic(内在的) interest in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to moving objects, probably through hunting instincts (本能), while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”12. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because .A. baby boys are much more activeB. baby girls like bright colors betterC. their parents treat them differentlyD. there is a biological difference between them13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and ballsC. The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.D. Parents should teach baby boys and girls to share each other’s toys.14. What conclusion did Dr Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?A. Adults purposely influence the preference of babies.B. Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.(环境)C. Baby boys preferring moving toys will be good at hunting.D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warmhearted.45. Which column of a newspaper does the passage probably appear in?A. Science.B. Health.C. Education.D. Entertainment.四、任务型阅读You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unfortunately, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether or not it is "easy" reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpecte d? These latter situations are a chance to learn from the writer's mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how an author does "his thing". he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction（非小说）books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than your devotion to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book's worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft（工艺）.As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone elseTitle: Improve Your Writing by ReadingFacts ▲Reading good writing helps you become a good writer.▲You don’t understand the (1)___________of reading and what to get fr om reading.Ways▲ Read not to learn but for (2)___________.1)Develop a great (3)___________in the subject and flow of the writing.2)Learn from the writer’s (4)___________if possible.3)(5)___________shouldn’t be spent in analyzing the pas sage but in enjoyingthe passage from the whole.▲Read as a common consumer rather than a critic.▲Be (6)___________ to reading poems and enjoy the lines.(7)_____ ____ ▲Don’t make yourself (8)___________with reading.▲Select your (9)___________authors and enjoy their works. ▲You are sure to make (10)___________during reading.1.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red ? If you do , you must be an optimist , a leader , or an active person who enjoys life , people and excitement .

Then you are probably quiet , shy and you would rather follow than lead.2. Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown．Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger．You may probably miss your friends from high school．1 College is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends．The question is: how ?▲ Get to know your roommate．You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate, but even if you are completely different from each other, with a little effort and understanding the two of you may become best friends．▲ 2If you leave your door open, this shows that you welcome visitors．As a result people will naturally stop in and sayhello．Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold．Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship．▲Join clubs or organizations．Getting involved in organized socialization is a great way to meet new people．3 By staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests．▲Talk to classmates．4 Starting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are．Short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendships．▲Try out for a sport．If you're athletic, trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing that joining a club will do． 5A．Close the door to keep away from theft．B．Hang a welcome sign on your dorm room．C．It also helps you get more familiar with the campus．D．Your roommate is the first person you will have close contact with．E．You will instantly meet a large group of people who share your interests in sports．F．Get to know your classmates as you'll be spending several months with them．G．Trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feelings of being lonely．3. Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?Here are some tips from Dr．Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．1．Laceration （裂口）The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．【小题1】A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep．However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention,2．Fingertips cut offSome injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery （外科手术）to repair．【小题2】More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．3．Bleeding【小题3】Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous （静脉的）bleeding．This means the blood flows steadily from the injury．The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound．In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial （动脉的）bleeding．__【小题4】_Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection．Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water．_【小题5】Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip．C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possibleD．The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth．E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．G The length is usually not as important as the depth．4. What should you think about in trying to find your career（职业）? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. 1 A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. 2 So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. 3 Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but ifhistory is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.4 If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. 5 Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.A．He may do well in his future work.B．It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.C．Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.D．These may show strengths（优势）that you can use in your work.E. Your school must have taught you the skills.F. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.G. If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it.第II卷（非选择题）请修改第II卷的文字说明评卷人得分二、单项填空5.

Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee 1 your day?One day I was in a taxi and we headed 2 the airport. We were driving in the 3 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 4 ，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 5 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started 6 at us.My taxi driver just 7 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 8 . So I asked，"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that man y people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 9 , full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment.

The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to 1students’ strong interest in computers?Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 2 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is 3 about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology.4 5 whether they can make useof computers effectively.Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see 6 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present,20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject 7 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the 8 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 9 to see the policy through.Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to 10 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 11 IT learning has just started. All teachers—including the seniors who are very 12 in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to 13 from the very beginning. They will become 14 and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have 15 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 16 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then 17 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his 18 through the computer before class comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning19 . 20 the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ le vel of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not so sure.1.A.show B.be C.match D.have2.A.with B.to C.in D.from3.A.no reason B.no doubt C.no need D.no time4.A.However B.Therefore C.And D.So5.A.depends on B.leads to C.results in D.believes in6.A.that B.such C.what D.how7.A.the usual way B.the regular wayC.the best wayD.the new way8.A.fact B.message C.news D.truth9.A.easy B.helpful C.hard D.fast10.A.sit for B.run for C.give D.attend11.A.for which B.that C.where D.which12.A.interested B.satisfied C.successful D.experienced13.A.work B.start C.teach D.manage14.A.pleased B.disappointed C.certain fortable15.A.ordered B.improved C.encouraged D.instructed16.A.methods B.skills C.programs D.performances17.A.make a living B.give lessonsC.go to lecturesD.does work18.A.work-mates B.headmastersC.instructorsD.students19.A.skills B.experiences C.duties D.methods20.A.As B.So long as C.Even though D.As far as19. “Just sign here, sir,” the d eliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.The package consisted of a long , narrow box ___1____ wrapped in brown paper. __2___ the box, Oscar saw an umbrella inside—— a very old one with a beautifully carved handle. ____3___He had not seen it in more than 20 years, he recognized it ____4____.Oscar was 16 when he first saw the ___5____ umbrella.

I had a very special teacher many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his 41 , she shared her insights(顿悟) with the students.

None of us knows when this _47 will end. At any moment it can be _48 . Perhaps this is life’s way of telling us that we must make good _49 of every day.” Her eyes beginning to _50 ,she went on saying, “So I would like you all to 51 me. From now on, on your way home, find something _52 to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see——it could be scent(香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the 53 of the wind slightly rustling(发出沙沙声) the leaves.”“Please look for these things, and 54 them. The little things are put here on the earth for us to enjoy. They are _55 observing, for at any time they can all be taken away.”The class was totally quiet.

The crowd of dealers, collectors, bargain-hunters and plain sale-goers walked about examining this and that and generally having a last look round before the excitement of the sale. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there.The room was half full of chairs. These carried the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fireplace stood the salesman's desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand, an eye, or even an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid. Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and the cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking out of place.Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket. The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His assistants followed him in and took their places.“Ladies and gentlemen, ”the salesman said, “I have been informed to tell you that everything must be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. We are now ready to begin, and we do so with Lot Number One …”At this point two strong-looking men lifted on to the central table a large wooden chest. It seemed too big for a modern house.“Lot Number One is an oak chest. Now what am I bid for this fine old chest? Do I hear ￡20? No? ￡10 then. Do I hear ￡10? Come along, ladies and gentlemen, this chest is solid oak. The wood alone is worth ￡40, so make me an offer for L ot Number One, just to get us started. ”His eyes swung round the room.“One pound, ”a woman's voice called.“One pound I'm bid, ”said the salesman eagerly, “for this splendid chest. Any advance on ￡1 now? One pound I'm bid. Do I hear two? No? Going at one pound then. No advance on ￡1? Going at ￡1. One pound. ”He broughthis wooden hammer down sharply on to his desk.

The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic (共生的) existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.1. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is______.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets2. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the vitality of the ocean.D.

Only three local students won Chinese Blog(博客) Competition.

Kincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt impressed，stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be – an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty–two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he。
