She worked all day so I was responsible for looking after my younger half-brother. During that time in our life, my dad wasn’t present much, but I di dn’t mind, because my stepmother took good care of my little brother and me. I loved her and always wished she could spend more time with us but she worked Monday through Saturday.At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed her so much all the time. One day, he cried, saying he wanted his “Mummy”.So I locked the house and carried him on my back to find his mummy.My stepmother worked very far away. After about an hour’s walk, my little brother got tired and fell asleep. Then I looked down and saw he’d lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him from my back and put him down. I knew we had to find that shoe because my step-mom wouldn’t be able to afford new shoes for him, but it would take too long to do it while carrying my brother. So I told him to stay where he was and I would run and find the shoe and come back. A man overheard me and stopped me right before I walked off. He asked me, “You’re leaving your brother here to go to find the shoe? What if he isn’t here when you return？” I didn’t know how to answer that question. So he said, “People are always more important than things.

During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doing certain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modem research discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100 000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse (宝库) of the human brain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.(1).

People landing at London''s Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly over Britain''s capital city. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome ( 千禧穹 )is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one ofBritain''s most famous architects ( 建筑师 ) . His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near-future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture of the times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age. What is an "information age" building? The Dome is a good example. After the Millennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have "jobs for life", modem buildings are designed for a number of different uses.Another Richard Roger''s building, the PompidouCenter in France, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The PompidouCenter is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.(1). The Millennium Dome has been originally built to holdan exhibition (C )A. of different building designsB. .of everything that can draw the attention of peopleC.of the finest things in BritainD.of recent developments in information technology(2).

Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows mat it is his duty to ( D)A. create something out of a unique styleB.house those people who will often change their jobsC.make his buildings historic onesD.construct a building that can meet the changes of the modem age(4). The PompidouCenter in France is outstanding in the fact that ( B)A. people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB.visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC.it makes use of the best techniques invented in the information age D.it was designed and built by an honest British designer(5). This short passage mainly tells us about (A )A. the unique contribution of a famous architectB.modem buildings of various stylesC.a few developments in house-buildingD.the common features of British and French buildings4. One Sunday, Mark decided to go sailing in his boat with his friend Dan, but Dan happened to be away. Dan''s brother John offered to goinstead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit by a big ship. Fortunately he saw a large buoy ( 浮标 )through the fog and decided to tie the boat to it for safety. As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope. The boat moved away in the fog carrying John, who did not know how to use the radio. He drifted ( 漂移 ) about and was not seen until twelve hours later.Mark spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep. He was having a bad dream when a shout woke him up. A ship, the Good Hope, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the captain. The captain told him that John had been picked up by another ship and the ship''s captain had sent out a message. "Without the message I would not have found you on the buoy," he said.(1).

Treasure hunts（寻宝）have excited people''''simagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson''''s Treasure Island．Kit Williams，a modern writer，had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues（线索）found in a book when he wrote a children''''s story，Masquerade，in 1979．The book was about a hare，and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire．The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare，but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”，or false clues，to mislead them．Ken Roberts，the man who found the hare，had been looking for it for nearly two years．Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time，he found it by logic（逻辑），not by luck．His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start．He had realized that the words：“One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon，the first of Henry VIII''''s six wives．Even here，however，Williams had succeeded in misleading him．Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridge shire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there．He had beendigging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him．He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill，in Bedfordshire，and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well，but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon，until one day he came across two stone crossesin Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773．Even then his search had not come to an end．It was onlyafter he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided towrite to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there．Williams encouraged him to continue，and on February 24th 1982，he found the treasure．It was worth ￡3000 in the beginning，but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable．What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Robertsfind the hare？A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill．B. Stevenson''''s Treasure Island．C. Katherine of Aragon．D. Williams'''' hometown．52.

One of the best examples of a public goodis national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person''s benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense.The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay S 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct paymentin the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.(1). According to the passage, public goods are ( )A.services enjoyed by all peopleB.what we can buy and sell in publicC.products that we make for national defenseD. taxes paid by the people involved(2). The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that ( )A.there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB.all the people should be responsible for national defenseC.a public good is a shared benefit for the whole societyD. some public goods are more important than others(3). The person who does not pay for a public good ( )A.keeps himself from using its benefitB.cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC.fails to keep its benefit from being usedD. enjoys its benefit all the same(4). In the third paragraph the author explains ( )A.what role the market system plays in producing public goodshow weak the marketB. system is in producing public goodsC.why some people refuse to pay for public goodsD. what we can do to make use of the market system(5). From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxesis to ( )A.ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB.reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC.get extra money to support public goodsD. remind people of their duty3.Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains.

That’s where the lan gu age was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names.I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—onelarger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also calledGreat Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so? In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of GreatBritain and Northern Ireland”. Tha t is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingd om of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?(1). English was first spoken in ( )A.BritainB.EnglandC.Great BritainD. Ireland(2). Britain is divided into( )A.England, Britain, and WalesB.England, Scotland, and WalesWales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland(3). According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.Wales is the richest of the threeB.Scotland is the largest of the threeC.Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles(4). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is ( )A.part of BritainB.part of British IslesC.the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage(5). Which of the following is an independent country?A.B. WalesC.ScotlandD.Northern IrelandThe Republic of Ireland答案：一、单项选择题（60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分）2. D3. B4. B5. D6. B7. D8. D9. A 10. B 11. A 12. D 13. A14.

To their mind, pets bring great happinessand fun to their life. In reality, pets have become a member of thepet owner’s family. However, recently this phenomenon hastriggered a heated discussion as to whether city people should beallowed to raise pets. There are people on both sides of theargument who have very strong feelings.The pet lovers claim that raising a pet benefits us a lot. First of all, a pet is a faithful and obedient companion to its owner. Pets are affectionate and cute. Secondly, they possess the inborn ability to entertain people, providing a rich source of pleasure and fun. Theyhelp people rid their loneliness and ease the tense life pressure. Moreover, keeping a pet does good to chil dr5en’s psychological development, because it teaches children how to care for others and how to appreciate life while helping them to cultivate a strong sense of responsibility. Pets also have some practical uses. They can be a loyal companion, a doorkeeper or a guide dog. In some special cases, pets even act as the protector and savior of the owner. In a word, there are many advantages to keeping a pet at home.On the other hand, there are also many opponents who strongly condemn this hobby. From their point of view, pets bring far more harm than good to us city dwellers. To begin with it is a costly and time-consuming hobby. You have to accommodate them, care for them and spend time with them. How can a bustling city person afford that? Moreover, it is very dirty. They litter everywhere and may carry some fatal viruses, which are great threats to human health. They even spread some infectious diseases to their owners and sometimes even those people around the. Last of all, they are troublemakers to the neighborhood. Some pet dogs or cats enjoybarking or miaowing at midnight, which is an irritating disturbance to the neighbors. Pets may sometimes attack neighbors and passers-by. On some occasions, they cause some damage to other’s property. On any accounts, they are unwelcome andtroublesome.Just as the saying goes, “so many people, so many minds”, it is quite understandable that views on this issue vary from person to person. As far as I am concerned, it is advisable not to keep a pet in a city,because this hobby brings us more drawbacks than merits.If there were too many pets running on the streets, baking at night, lettering everywhere better give up this hobby for the common good.。
