At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, Mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than gibing them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of thefact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. Ti probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.11.

However, it wasn't until 1839 that Louis Daguerre developed the daguerreotype, the first publicly available photographic process. The daguerreotype required an exposure (12) ______ of several minutes, making it difficult to photograph moving objects.In the 1860s, portable box cameras were introduced, allowing photography to become accessible to more people. A significant development was made by George Eastman, who introduced film in the 1880s, replacing heavy and fragile glass plates. This made photography more convenient and led to the establishment of Kodak, one of the leading companies in the industry today.Photography continued to evolve with the introduction of color film in the mid-20th century. Digital photography, which began to gain popularity in the 1990s, brought about a revolution in the industry by eliminating the need for film and allowing instant image viewing and editing.Today, photography is more accessible than ever, with cameras integrated into smartphones, making everyone a potential photographer capturing moments in their daily lives.[考试答案]1.

One by one,graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals〔壁画〕have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti〔涂鸦〕are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program <MAP>. Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. "When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of munity〔社区〕．When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals."The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.41．What can be the best title for the text?A. Love, from Graffiti Writers to MuralistsB. MAP, a New pany in PhiladelphiaC. Jane, an Excellent Mural ArtistD. Hope, One Wall at a Time42. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at? A. Helping the young find jobs. B. Protecting the neighborhood. C. Fighting against graffiti. D. Attracting more visitors.43．How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural? A. By having discussions with people in the munity. B．By seeking advice from the city government. C．By learning from the young graffiti writers. D. By studying the history of the city.44. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP? A. Difficult. B．Dangerous. C. Experimental．D. Successful.BFor those who study the development of intelligence〔智力〕in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware〔意识〕of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image〔反射出的影像〕.Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying evry little attention tothe reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test."We thought that elephants were the next important animal,〞 said Dinana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M.Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants "seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.〞The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo.They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’ play area <out of the sight of zoo visitors> and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way."45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals? A. Whether they have large brains. B．Whether they have self-awareness. C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text? A. They are most familiar to readers. B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors. C. They are included in the study by Reiss. D. They are already known to be intelligent.47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty? A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror. B. She recognized her own image in the mirror. C. She painted a mark on her own face. D. She found the hidden camera.C Student Membership--Cambridge Arts CinemaCambridge Arts Cinema is one of the art houses in Britain and home of the internationally celebrated Cambridge Film Festival.

Increasing the cinema's membership.DThe way we do things round hereSome years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures〔文化〕．Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate〔气候〕,while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality〔准时〕．If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in theAmerican Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country..isujiao.52. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______． A. the American bank didn't think much of him B. the American bank might hire another person C. it's difficult to get used to American culture D. it's easy to misunderstand Americans53．The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probablymeans_____. A. encourages B. helps to narrow C. increases D. draws attention to54. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences? A. Ask the native people for help. B. Understand and accept them. C. Do things in our own way. D. Do in-depth research.55. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______. A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the BritishE"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens <AT> as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again."It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana----she was still on cloud nine．"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience〔观众〕that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why herdance teacher had traveled so far to see her pete〔比赛〕．"She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...〞As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens 〔青少年〕about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."56.What do the words "on cloud nine〞 in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry57.Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role medel mainly because she is . A. determined B. friendly C. strict D.experienced58.How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text? A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.59.What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?A. She visited drunken drivers.B. She gave dance performance.C. She made speeches on safe driving.D. She helped other teens with their studies.60.What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?A. Be yourself with the support of friends. B．Meet friends whenever possible. C. Go easy on yourself and others. D. Have a good role model.第二节、根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.选项中有两项为多余选项.---Excuse me, have you been waiting long?----About ten minutes.61------Not while I’ve been standing here.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 61 ~ 65 are based on the following passage:There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.61. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about _D___ a year.A. 15 weeksB. 16 weeksC. 30 weeksD. 32 weeks62. The academic year begins _B__.A. in late SeptemberB. in late AugustC. sometime in JanuaryD. in late May63. The first term ends __C__.A. after Christmas holidayB. in MayC. before Christmas holidayD. in fall64. The second term lasts about _D___.A. five monthsB. four monthsC. six monthsD. five or six months65. In the “4—1—4” calendar system, the first term begins _B__.A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 66~70 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are call ed “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surp rise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds whenshe was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together67. Which of the following is true? BA. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B. Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.68. “That at least is what people say.” Means people__C__.A. say other things tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this69. What problems does sport have? BA. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 71~75 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings an d scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a begin ning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quitefamiliar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.71. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay? CA. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.B.

Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (96) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (97) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practical use on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 98) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied sciencespeeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (99) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (100) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.答：96. 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行，生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。
