If you are still planning what you are going to do during the days, why not enjoy a visit to a theme (主题) park?Lots of theme parks have roller coasters (过山车). A roller coaster is anything that may appear dangerous while in fact, it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you are over the height of 48 inches. If you like heart-stopping thrills, this "scream machine" is your best choice. For example, Kingda Ka is a steelroller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in the United States. It is the world's tallest roller coaster, the world's second fastest roller coaster. Riding this roller coaster makes you feel like you are flying. One second you may be looking at the sky and the next you are looking straight down at the ground!Does this sound scary (惊悚的) to you? If so, we will take you to other theme parks around the world.Ocean Park in Hong Kong is the first stop. You can walk through an underwater tunnel as sharks swim overhead or watch a dolphin swimming show. Besides, cable cars will carry you more than 200 metres to the top of the park.Europa-Park is another good choice. If you think a few' days are not enough to travel through Europe,this theme park in Germany will show you what other European countries are like. Europa-Park has 12 country-themed areas. You can first ride French bobsleds (雪橇), then eat Greek sandwiches and then take a roller coaster based on the Russian space station—all in one day! Besides, Europa-Park is very real. The street lights in the Spanish part are from Spain and the small houses in the Swiss part come from Switzerland.Our last stop is Universal's Islands in the US, a world-famous dinosaur theme park. If you are a fan of dinosaurs, it is just the place for you. You can have an unforgettable experience and see dinosaurs in their natural homes. But be careful! Escaping from the terrible mouth of a hungry dinosaur is a 26-metre drop into the darkest darkness!69.

Usually there is ____77____ one suspect in a case. Detectives have to find out the real criminal among them.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分，第88题1分，第89-92题每题2分，第93题3分)An old carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer (雇主) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life.The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials.It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted (不专注的) way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity (尊严).The sentence on the wall reads, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.88. The old carpenter lived quite a rich life with his wife and children, didn't he?89. Why did the old carpenter want to retire?90. What did the old carpenter's employer ask him to do before he retired?91. How did the carpenter do the job his employer asked him to do?92. How did the carpenter feel when he realized that the last house he built was his home?93. What does the sentence on the wall mean?VII. Writing (作文): (共20分)94. Write a passage of at least 60 words about the Topic“A lucky _______”(以一个/件/…幸运的_______为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格子。

I couldn’t believe I had such long hair.It’s so embarrassing, isn’t it?Q: What are the two speakers talking about?10. M: I didn’t have any trouble in finding accommodation in Russia.W: According to my experience there, it sounds too good to be true.Q: What does the woman mean?Section BDirections:In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passage. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.May 1st is International Workers’Day, a significant day for workers. Earlier in the 1800s, workers worked nearly 16 hours each day. From the early 20th century, labor unions in many countries fought for shorter workdays. “Eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, and eight hours rest”gradually became a popular saying.If you wish to party for a whole week, join the nurses! May 6th begins National Nurses’ Week, which ends on May 12th, International Nurses’Day. That day, Florence Nightingale’s birthday, celebrates the profession and her contribution to modern nursing.Or perhaps you feel like celebrating food. Make some chocolate chip cookies on May 15th, National Chocolate Chip Day! You could give cookies together with something made of bright green to a loved one. May’s brilliant green jewel represents wisdom, patience and growth --- all necessary for a love that lasts.Happiness, sweetness and a pure heart are represented through May’s flower, the Lily of the Valley. Finally, May 31st is World No Tobacco Day. About 6 million people a year die from tobacco use. So put out that cigarette!(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11. Which of the following celebrations lasts more than one day according to the passage?12. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?13. What serves as the best title for the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.In the early 20th century, Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner discovered that fatal results of blood transfusions were caused by a reaction to the donor’s blood. He classified people into four blood groups --- A, B, AB and O --- based on the proteins in their blood. Receiving blood from a donor whose blood type was not well-matched would hurt or kill a patient. For this discovery, Landsteiner received the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.Many Asian people believe that one’s blood type relates to one’s personality. People with blood type A are seen as loyal and having high standards but as too anxious. Type B people are considered creative and positive but selfish. Those with type AB are considered logical, calm but changeable. Type O people tend to be friendly, passionate and ambitious but inflexible. One book even proposed that blood types reveal people’s ideal diets and lifestyles. However, little scientific evidence supports blood-type diets or personality tests. Maybe more study of this will lead to another Nobel Prize! (请以调侃的语气朗读这句话)(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14. For what did the Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner receive a Nobel Prize in 1930?15. How do Type B people tend to be according to the passage?16. What is the speaker’s attitude to the idea of blood-type diets or personality tests?Section CDirections:In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard.

If not, wouldyou like to come over for a meal with my family?M: Oh, we can’t, I’m afraid. An old friend of mine is getting married and we’re going to Scotlandfor the wedding ceremony. What a shame! It’d be nice to see you again.W: Yeah, it is a pity. How about the coming weekend instead?M: Let me see ... Ok, I think that should be fine with us.W: Great! We’ll look forward to seeing you.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ecotourism is a combination of ecology (the study of systems of living things) and tourism. It is ___51___ “responsible travel to natural areas that preserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people” by the International Ecotourism Society. Actually, ecotourism can mean travel to far-off places of great natural beauty, but not always in a(n) ___52___ way. It‟s a big business, and the attraction of money can cause people to think about ___53___ first. While ecotourism offers benefits to people and ecosystems, it leaves ecosystems open to negative effects, too.Costa Rica, once a Spanish colony, and independent since 1821, has an ecotourism industry worth over one billion dollars yearly, and thousands of jobs have been ___54___. Nearly 21 percent of the land is now protected national parks, ___55___ thanks to ecotourism. Nevertheless, due to the number of people visiting the country‟s natural places, some damage to the ecosystem has occurred.While ___56___ can have a negative impact on ecosystems, the same areas might have been ___57___ by industries such as farming, logging, or mining if there were no ecotourism industry. Shelters(庇护所) have been created ___58___, keeping the ecosystem protected. And, by visiting beautiful rainforests and seeing rare animals, visitors get a sense of their ___59___, and of gratitude for them. Tour guides can also be educators who train people to love and care for the environment. Visitors can take these ___60___ with them to their home countries.Unfortunately, while their effect may not be ___61___ in the off-season, the constant parade5 / 12of visitors in the high season can be damaging. At one national park in Costa Rica, wild monkeys now feed on garbage left by the tourists. ___62___, ecotourists tend to seek out places with the rarest animals and plants, ___63___ the most delicate living things.It is easy to be critical of the ecotourism industry, but it is important to be ___64___ as well. Ecotourism can never be “pure”. We can‟t expect zero negative effects on the ecosystem. It is also ___65___ to suppose that humans won‟t go anywhere accessible to them. If protection efforts are maintained and increased, those remaining places of undisturbed nature may be stressed, but they won‟t be destroyed.51.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When I was young, it wasn‟t the parental love that filled my thoughts in the spring. It was baseball.I loved everything about the game — the crack of a bat, the excitement of chasing a ground ball across short green grass, even watching the games on our old black-and-white TV. Yet looking back now, nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual (老规矩) of playing catch with my dad.6 / 12Dad was never much of a baseball fan, but as green leaves began to shoot on bare branches and warmth returned to the air, he would grab his old mitt (棒球手套) and head out to the yard with me just the same. There was something beneficial about playing catch with him, the hum of the ball as it sailed through the air, and the friendly pop as it hit the leather netting. We may have been 50 feet apart, but the flight of that ball connected us, forming as strong a relationship as any father-son talk ever could have.I was never the star of my Little League team, yet Dad never cared about that. Every year, he would be out there, waiting to field any false throw I sent his way.As I grew older, I realized that our game was a reflection of our relationship — that even if a problem didn‟t involve a glove and a ball, Dad would always be there to handle anything I threw in his direction. His devotion to our springtime ritual showed his devotion to me — not only to my love of baseballl but also to my life.I‟ve often heard it said that “the devil is in the details.” Now I realize that in my relationship with my father, love was in the details.66. When the author was young, he didn‟t care much about ______.A. the sound of hitting a ballB. the company of his fatherC. the joy of running after a ballD. the games broadcast on TV67. The author‟s father practiced catching baseball with him on warm spring days, ______.A. having a father-son conversation with himB. killing time while doing some physical exerciseC. making him an excellent baseball playerD. giving him a guiding hand in his life68. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. a yearly celebration was held to start their spring baseball catching ritualB. the author and his father used to have a loose relationship with each otherC. the author fully realized his father‟s love for him when he was youngD. the author‟s father always stood by him whenever he was in trouble69. What is the passage mainly about?A. The same hobby shared between the author and his father.B. The way the author and his father used to spend spring days.C. The author‟s sweet memory of his father‟s love for him.D. The analysis made by the author about father-son relationship.7 / 128 / 1270. Where does the passage most probably come from?A.

Apple product sellers.D. Information technology engineers.(C)The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team. In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation (文化适应).Cultures are often identified by their symbols — images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles (图腾柱) carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes (部落). In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor‟s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression.9 / 12To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric(from the Greek ethnos, meaning “people,”and kentros, meaning “center”). A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well-functioning society. An appreciation for one‟s own culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism — the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one‟s own race is superior to all others.74. What does the word “innate” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Instinctive.B. Developed.C. Believable.D. Cultivated.75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another.B. An ethnocentric country opens welcoming arms to cultures different from its own.C. Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group, nation or empire.D. People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image.76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society.B. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures.C. Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude.D. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world.77. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Culture, the origin of racial superiorityB. Culture, a faithful mirror of historyC. Culture, the vigour of world developmentD. Culture, a distinctive identity of a nationSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.10 / 12Some of the most popular programmes on British television, all with their regular millions of loyal viewers, are …soaps‟ such as Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale. (A …soap‟ is an informal word for a …soap opera‟, which is a television story, in daily or weekly episodes (连续剧集), about the daily lives of the characters in it.)In every soap there is comedy and tragedy, and storylines of all kinds. In every soap there is the inevitable gossip, and there is the essential character who brings misfortune on himself — or herself, the spiteful woman who hates the success of her sister in marrying a man with money and whose childish behavior splits the family.To some degree, of course, the regular episodes provide many people with an adult kind of comic, rather like Dickens‟serialized novels did. At times, the actions and characters in them seem quite realistic; at other times, they go to the other extreme and show actions that look as if they are straight from the pen of the best fiction writers. But perhaps the fall into clearly fictional comedy or tragedy is necessary to remind regular viewers that their daily amount of …soap‟ is no more and no less than a shot of fiction, and that the characters are not real.Certainly life is never dull in a soap. If one of the adolescents buys a motorbike and a young child lives round the corner, you can bet the two will meet in an accident. If two people fall in love and get married, you can be sure that a friend will cast an insult on the character of one of them, enough to break up the marriage. After all, this is not life; this is a soap! Reality makes way for fiction. The viewers who think that they are watching even a reflection of reality only bring disappointment to themselves. But there are still viewers who follow the comings and goings of the characters on screen with unreasoning faith, believing that the events are real when characters are injured or ill, or even die, and send cards or flowers with best wishes, congratulations or sympathies.What many of us find difficult to understand is just why soaps have become so popular? (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale are popular British soaps which ______.79. What are the two necessary elements of a soap opera?80. The regular viewers need to be reminded that the soap operas are ______.81. What do some TV viewers do when they are mad about the soaps?11 / 12第II卷（共47分）I.
