Reading is a subtle thing, and its subtleties are artifacts of a venerable medium: words printed in ink on paper. Glass and pixels aren't the same.When I read a physical book, I don't have to look anywhere else to find out how much I've read.The iPad e---reader, iBooks tries to create the (47) illu_____ of a physical book. The pages seem to turn, and I can the edges of those that remain, but it's fake. There are always exactly six unturned pages, no matter (48)_____ I am in the book.Also, there is a larger problem. Books in their digital format look vastly less "finished", or less genuine than real books. You can vary their font and type size, but this only makes them(49)_____(resemble) word---processed---no matter how (50)_____(wretch) or wonderful they are---will never look as good as Robert Hass's poems in the print edition of The Apple Trees at Olema. But your poems can look almost exactly as ugly---as "e---book---like" ---as the Kindle version of that collection.All the e---book I've read have been ugly---books by Chang---rae Lee, Alvin Kernan, and Stieg Larsson---though the texts have been wonderful. I didn't grow up reading texts. I grew up reading books, and this(51)_____(differ) is important.When it comes to digital editions, the(52)_____(assume) seems to be that allbooks(53)are_____(create) equal. However, nothing could be further from the truth. In the mass migration from print to digital, we're seeing a profusion of digital books---many of them out of copyright---that look new and even "HD," but which may well have been supplanted by more accurate editions and better translations. We need a digital readers' guide---a place where readers can find(54)_____ whether the book they're about to download is the best available edition. (55)Fi_____, two related problems. I already have a personal library, but most of the books I've read have come from(56)_____(lend) libraries. Barnes & Noble has released an e---reader that allows short---term (57) _____(borrow) of some books. The entire idea behind Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iBooks assumes that you cannot read a book unless you own it first and that only you can read it unless you want to give your reading device to someone else.This goes against the social value of reading, the collective knowledge and(58)_____(collaborate) discourse that comes from access to (59)_____or our culture in general.Part Four Reading Comprehension (40 marks).Section A (10 marks ).Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Not keen on reading? Do you have trouble finding a novel that arouses your interest? Why not follow Ammon Shea's example and start reading a dictionary?Mr Shea owns over 1,000 dictionaries and he reads them for fun. He recently spent a year reading all 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary. The dictionary contains more than20,000 pages and over 59 million words.As he read from A to Z, he noted down interesting words in a ledger. This includes words such as "happify," meaning to make someone happy and "tripudiate", which means to dance, skip or leap for joy. Mr Shea also kept a diary about this experience, which has since become abest---selling book.Why did he do this? He claims it was fun. "I've always enjoyed reading dictionaries . They are far more interesting than people give then credit for," he said.It appears that it was not his goal to sound more intelligent by using longer and more complex words. "I'm not against long, fancy or obscure words, but I'm opposed to using then for their own sake," he said.In fact ,as a result of reading so many new words , Mr Shea often forgot everyday vocabulary. He wrote, "My head was so full of words that I often had trouble forming simple sentences."Mr Shea is not alone in his love of reading dictionaries.Elaine Higgleton, a representative of Collins Cbuild dictionaries, explained that thousands of crossword puzzle and Srabble fans read dictionaries for fun and to improve their games. Ms Higgleton did however note that, "It's probably not the best way to learn English ,and you'd learn more than you need." It is not known how many of the 59 million words Ms Shea remembers, but he has certainly made history with his eccentric hobby.Questions 61 to 65.Decide whether the following statements are True or False.61.Mr Shea has read 1.000 dictionaries.62.Mr Shea spent one month reading the Oxford English Dictionary.63.In Mr Shea's opinion,people don't give dictionaries enough credit for being interesting.64.Mr Shea thinks it is important t be able to use long and complicated words in everydayconversation.65.Elaine Higgleton thinks that reading a dictionary is the best way to learn English.Section B (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70are based on the following passage.Surfing is something people often get hooked on after trying it a few times. For many surfers it is much more than a hobby---they would probably agree with the American professional surfer Kelly Slater when he said,"Once you're in, you're in. There's no getting out.""Surfing", of course, refers to riding on ocean waves using a surfboard. Many surfers stand up on their boards, which requires god balance and is therefore difficult for most beginners to learn, but some lie down and "bodyboard"The history of surfing probably began with the Polynesian people of the Pacific Islands. One of the first white people to see anyone surfing was the British explorer Captain Gook, when his ship arrived in Hawaii in 1779. He watched many Hawaiians riding waves on large pieces of wood, and reported that, "Surfing seems to give them a feeling of great pleasure. "When surfing started to become very popular in the United States in the 1950's and 60s, surfers used large wooden boards (often more than three metres long) that were quite heavy. Boards today are shorter and also much lighter, because they are made of artificial materials instead of wood. For anyone who wants to try surfing. The only essentials are waves and a board. There are a few other things, however, that most surfers find important; a cord t attach one of their ankles to the board and therefore stop it from being carried a long way away when they fall off'; wax, which they put on the surface of the board to help their feet stick to it; and a wetsuit to help them keep warm in cold water. The south---west of English is an example of a place where surfers usually need wetsuits, even in summer.Surfing has been a professional sport for many yeara and the very best surfers are able to make a living from it. Most of the best professional surfers in the last 30 years, both men and women, have been American or Australian, but surfers from Brazil, Peru and South Africa have also won important competitions.Questions 66 to 70Answer the following questions with the information given in the assage in a maximum of 10words for each question.66.Why do most beginners find it difficult t stand up on a surfboard?67.In what part of the world did surfing probably begin?68.When did surfing start to become very popular in the United States?69.What do surfers use wax for?70.According to the passage, in what part of the world do surfers usually need wetsuits?Section C (10 marks)Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage.The latest human development report from the United Nations Development Programmed (UNDP) contains some good news, but also a very serious warning about the threat posed y climate change.The report, published annually since 1990, seeks to asses “human development” around the world, and calculates a “Human Development Index (HDI) for 169 counties. The HDI is based on average income, life expectancy and level of education in a country. Not surprisingly, rich counties tend to have higher HDIs than poor counties, but there are interesting variations in human development among countries with similar levels of economic development, because some have better health and education systems than others.According to the 2010 report, the county with the highest level of human development is Norway, followed by Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Ireland. Most of the lowest HDIs belong to counties in sub-Saharan Africa.Almost all counties around the worlds have higher HDIs now than in 1990, despite the fact that since the 2008 financial crisis, the total number of people living in extreme poverty has increased. The report concludes that most people are healthier, live longer, are better educated and have access to more goods and services. Even in countries with severe economic problems, people’s level of health and education as generally improved. Although sub-Saharan African countries are at the bottom of the pile in terms of human development, some of them have made significant progress since 1990. The report is critical, however, of the fact economic inequality has increased significantly in the last twenty years, both within and between countries.The greatest threat to improving HDIs in the future, according to the report, is climate change. Economic growth increases average incomes in a country through increasing productionand consumption. However , if this leads to greater emissions of greenhouse gases, as has always been the case in the past, global warning will probably accelerate, and cause severe environmental problems in some parts of the world hat will threaten the livelihoods of huge numbers f people. The progress of the last twenty years, therefore, might not be sustainable.The only solution, according to the report, I to break the link between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions-which, needless to say, is easier, said than done.Questions 71 to 75Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 10 words for each blank.71. The concept of “human development” is based on the following three factors: _______,_____________and_____________.72. Some countries with similar levels of economic development have quite different HDIs because they have_____________.73._________________has caused the number of people living in extreme poverty to increase since 2008.74. The report says that ______________ is the greatest threat to increasing HDIs in the future.75. The report says the link between____________ and ____________needs to be broken. Section D (10 marks)Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passageIt is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises: that they talk too much about certain problems-and that they have no sense o humor, at least parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when were young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted, so they create a culture and society and their own. Then, if it turns out that their music, entertainers, vocabulary, clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, thisgives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes teenagers are resistant and proud because they do not want their parents to approve of what they do. If they did approve, it looks as if the teenager is betraying his own age group. All this is assuming that the teenager is the underdog: he can not win but at least he can keep his honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after years of childhood, when children were completely under their parent’s control, but it ignores the fact that when they become teenagers, children are beginning to be responsible for themselves.If you plan to control your life, co-operation should be a part of that plan. You can charm other people, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can also impress people with your of responsibility and your initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.Questions 76 to 78Choose the best answer according to the passage.76 the first paragraph is mainly about_____________.A teenagers’ criticism of their parentsB misunderstanding between teenagers and their parentsC the dominance of parents over their childrenD teenagers’ ability to deal with crises77 teenagers have strange clothes and hairstyles because they___________A have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteB want to prove their existence by creating a culture of their ownC have no other way to enjoy themselvesD want to irritate their parent78 teenagers do not want their parents to approve of what they do because they_______________.A have already been accepted into adult worldB feel that they are superior to adult worldC want to win adults over to their cultureD don’t want to appear to be disloyal to their own age groupQuestion 79 to 80Translate the sentences in the passage into Chinese79 I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when were young80 You can charm other people, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want.Part V translate (10 mark)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given brackets. Remember to write your answer on the answer sheet.81 他以牺牲健康为代价获得财富。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, you should decide on the best one from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:No one knows for sure why birds migrate(定期迁徙). One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the Ice Age, when ice covered large parts of Europe, Asia and North America. As the ice melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again in winter. Gradually, these comings and goings became habits, and birds now migrate though much of the ice has gone.Another theory proposes that the ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas. There they lived so well that the region became overcrowded. Many species had to move northward. During the summer, these birds found plenty of room and food. In winter, however, food became scarce and they had to return to the south.A newer theory is that increasing daylight stimulates certain glands(腺) in the bird's body and prepares it for migration. One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by exposing them for two months to artificial daylight. Recoveries of marked birds indicate that they fly north as soon as they are set free. The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the bird’s body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight.This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time. Each species seems to have its own schedule. The theory would also account for the regular time and routes of migration. Birds arrive at a given place year after year. Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days. Total hours of daylight, rather than weather, start them on the way.How birds find their way to the same place year after year and why they follow their own particular route are still mysteries. They evidently do not follow known landmarks(地面标志), for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults.21. We can conclude from the first paragraph that ______.A. during the Ice Age, the whole Europe was covered with iceB. the south used to be the homelands of all birdsC. scientists can confidently explain why birds migrate nowD. migration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth.22. The birds mentioned in the third paragraph fly north in midwinter because ______.A. they are specially trained by a scientistB. they are affected by seasonal changesC. there is a change in their body temperatureD. they are exposed to extra daylight23. The phrase “account for” (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably means ______.A. indicateB. explainC. proveD. provide24. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage？A. Birds do not migrate at the same time.B. Birds usually follow regular routes of migration.C. Each species has a special reason for migration.D. Birds migrate to their own particular places every year.25. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Different Accounts of MigrationB. Migration and WeatherC. New Discovery of Bird MigrationD. Routes of Bird MigrationPassage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:For a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. They use "essay" tests, which require students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following："Mention several ways in which Benjamin Franklin has influenced the thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world.One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a high score just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more about the student’s ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. It should show how deeply he has thought about the subject.Sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too. Some students ate able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form.Besides, in an essay test the student's score may depend upon the examiner's feelings at the time of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should. Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score.Whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. When some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the student's knowledge can usually be obtained26. What have been discussed in the previous paragraphs?A. The essay test.B. How teachers test their students.C. How students write their essays.D. The objective test.27. The essay test is preferred because______.A. it shows more about the student's understanding of the subjectB. it tests the student's knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideas.C. it gives each student a fairer chanceD. its scoring may be influenced by the examiner's feelings28. The word “this” (Line 4, Para. 4) refers to the fact that ______.A. students may receive a lower score in an essay testB. another examiner usually gives the answer a higher markC. different examiners may give the same essay different scoresD. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance29. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the objective test isNOT true?A. It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.B. It allows the student to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.C. It shows the student's ability to think about difficult problems.D. It is easy and quick to score.30. According to the author, an ideal test should be ______A. an objective testB. an essay testC. a combination of the twoD. something newPassage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Cars are important in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.31. When do most Americans feel they are poor?A. When they don't have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don't use planes.D. When they have a car.32. What is the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States?A. Because the United States is huge.B. Because public transportation is not so good.C. Because Americans like to be independent.D. Because Americans like to move around.33. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.34. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.35. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.Passage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:I don't often lose things and I'm especially careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet and it wasn't there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting. Unfortunately, there were several people sitting at the table at the time, so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier. I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the manager of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anything was wrong. I didn't want to get a lot of people involved in the problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back. I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report the missing wallet to the police. I told him that I didn't particularly want to get the police involved in it; besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes. I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay the check. He told me not to worry about that. He had me write down my name and address, and he said he would send me a bill.36. Why was the writer so sure he had brought his wallet with him?A. He remembered that he didn't leave it at home.B. He always felt his pocket for the wallet before he left home.C. He believed his own memory.D. He had taken it out to pay the taxi-driver.37. According to the passage, the writer most probably lost his wallet when _____.A. he took it out to pay for the taxiB. he walked into the restaurantC. he was eating dinnerD. he was ordering his dish38. Why did the writer walk back to the table where he had been sitting?A. He was sure his wallet was still there.B. It was possible that he could find his wallet there.C. He could ask someone there about his wallet.D. He saw the wallet lying on the floor near the table.39. As the writer didn't want to get a lot of people involved in the problem, _____.A. he only told the manager what had happenedB. he didn't tell the manage anythingC. he reported to the police immediatelyD. he only told the story to the manager and the waiter40. Why did the manager tell the writer not to worry about paying the check?A. He was going to report the incident to the police.B. He could pay the doctor for the writer.C.

My bookshelves at home are stacked with the novels of all the great mystery writers, which I’ve read and in many cases, re-read, despite (50) _______ (know) all the time “who’d done it”.Of course, being a writer requires imagination. You have to develop your own personal style rather than simply copy the work of “the greats”. I’ve turned out (51) d________ of short crime stories for my university student magazine—some have been published, some not, but I’ve always aimed to produce original and imaginative material.Last but not (52) ________, successful writers possess enormous self-discipline.

Getting it out in anywhere near publishable form is no (54) ______ task, but with imagination and determination, and the help of an expert on “master class”, who could possibly fail to (55) re_______ their ambition?Part IV Reading Comprehension (40 marks)Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.The term culture shock was introducedfor the first time in 1958 to describe the anxietyproduced when a person moves to a completelynew environment. This term expresses thefeeling of not knowing what to do or how to dothings in a new environment. This termexpresses the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment. We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort a person suffers when coming to live in a place different from the place of origin.Often, the way that we live before is not accepted or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines, not knowing how to use telephones, and so forth.The symptoms of culture shock can appear at different times. Although a person can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for growing and learning new perspectives. Culture shock can help people develop a better understanding of themselves and stimulate personal creativity.Culture shock has many stages. Each stage can be ongoing, or appear only at certain times. In the first stage, the new arrival may feel very happy about all of the new experience. This time is called the honeymoon stage. Afterward, the second stage presents itself. A person may encounter some difficulties in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur, such as not being understood. In this stage, there may be feelings of impatience, anger and sadness. Transition between the oldmethods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete. The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. A person may start to feel a psychological balance. The individual is more familiar with the environment and wants to belong. This starts an evaluation of the old ways versus those of the new. In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. This stage can be one of double integration or triple integration, depending on the number of cultures that the person has to process. This integration is characterized by a more solid feeling of belonging. The person starts to define himself or herself and establish goals for living. The fifth stage is the stage that is called the reentry shock. This occurs when a person returns to the newly acquired customs are considered improper in the old culture.Questions 56—60Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank.Introduced in 1958, culture shock is a term used to (56) __________ physical and emotional discomfort people experience when they come to or live in a new place. Although many people suffer a lot from culture shock, it is an (57) _________ for personal improvement. The five stages of culture shock may last for a long time or show up once in a while. In the first stage, the (58) __________ stage, the new arrival might be OK with everything. Afterward, (59) ________ from old methods to the new one calls for time and energy. During the third and fourth stage, people may gain more understanding of the new culture and possess objective views. The double or triple integration is (60) __________ by a feeling of belonging. The last stage, called reentry shock, refers to the feeling people have when returning to their home country.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.For some people, it would be unthinkable. But Gabe Henderson is finding freedom in a recent decision; he canceled his MySpace account. The 26 years old graduate student stopped his account after realizing that a lot of his online friends were really just acquaintances. “The superficial emptiness clouded the excitement I had once felt,” Henderson wrote in an article. “It seems we have lost, to some degree, the special depth that true friendship is about.”Journalism professor Michael Bugeja, who is a strong supporter of face-to-face communication, read Henderson’s column and saw it was a sign of hope. Though he’s not anti-technology, Bugeja often lectures students about “interpersonal intelligence”—knowing when, where, and for what purpose technology is most appropriate. He points out the students he’s seen walking across campus, holding hands with each other while talking on cell phones to someone else He’s also seen them in coffee shops, surrounded by people, but staring instead at a computer screen. “True friends,” he says, “need to learn when to stop blogging and go across campus to help a friend.”These days, young people are more wired than ever—but they’re also getting more worried. Increasingly, they’ve had to deal with online bullies, who are posting anything from embarrassing photos to online threats. And increasingly, young people also are realizing that things they post on their profiles can come back to hurt them when applying for schools or jobs.Social networking can be an “extremely effective” way to publicize events to large groups. It can even help build a sense of community on campus. People joined Facebook as a way to meet others. However, it has limitations. A good Internet profile could make even the most boring person seem some what interesting. People are also not always happy with text messages on the cell phones. Cell phones can be a quick way to say “have a good day”. But friends can also cancel a night out with a text message to avoid having to explain. “Our generation needs to get over this fear of confrontation and rejection.” Henderson says. “The focus needs to be on quality communication, in all ways.” Back in his life, Henderson is enjoying spending more face-to-face time with his friends and less with his computer. He says his decision toquit his social-networking Internet accounts was a good one. “I’m not sacrificing friends,” he says, “because if a picture, some basic information about their life and a Web page is all my friendship has become, then there was nothing to sacrifice to begin with.”Questions 61—63Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.61. Although Henderson quit MySpace, most of his online friends are actually close friends.62. According to Bugeja, young people should know when to use technology and when to stop using it.63. Social networking helps build a sense of community but has a negative effect on young people’s life if it is used inappropriately.Questions 64—65Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.64. What does Henderson lose by using social networking websites like Myspace?65. What do young people need to overcome in order to focus on quality communication?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66—70 are based on the following passage.“Five … Four … Three … Two…One …See ya! ” and ChanceMcGuire, twenty-five, is airborneoff a 600 –foot concrete dam inNorthern California. In one secondhe falls 15 feet, in two seconds 60feet, and after three seconds and130 feet, he is flying at 66 miles anhour.McGuire is a practitioner of what he calls the king of all extreme sports. BASE—an acronym for building, antenna, span (bridge) and earth (cliffs)—jumping has one of the sporting world’s highest fatality rates: in its 18-year history, forty –six participants have been killed. Yet the sport has never been more popular, with more than a thousand jumpers in the United States, and more seeking to get into it every day. It is an activity without margin for error. If your chute malfunctions, don’t bother researching for a reserve—there isn’t time. There are no second chances.Still, the sport may be a perfect fit with the times. Americans may have more in common with McGuire than they know or care to admit. America has embarked on a national orgy of thrill seeking and risk taking. The rise of adventure and extreme sports such as BASE jumping, snowboarding, ice climbing, skateboarding, and paragliding is merely the most vivid manifestation of this new national behavior.The rising popularity of extreme sports speaks of an eagerness on the part of millions of Americans to participate in activities closer to the edge, where danger, skill, and fear combine to give weekend warriors and professional athletes alike a sense of pushing out personal boundaries. According to American Sports Data Inc., a consulting firm, participation in so-called extreme sports is way up. Snowboarding has grown 113 percent in five years and now boasts nearly 5.5 million participants. Mountain hiking, skateboarding, scuba diving—their growth curves reveal a nation that loves to play with danger. Contrast that with activities such as baseball, touch football, and aerobics, all of which were in steady decline throughout the 1990s.The pursuits that are becoming more popular have one thing in common: the perception that they are somehow more challenging than a game of touch football. “Every human being with two legs and two arms is going to wonder how fast, how strong, how enduring he or she is,” says Eric Perlman, a mountaineer and film maker specializing in extreme sports. “We are designed to experience or die.”Questions 66—68Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 4 words for each blank.66. _______ rates doesn’t stop people from getting into BASE jumping every day.67. The rise of extreme sports manifests the national behavior of _______ and ________.Questions 69—70Choose the best answer according to the passage.69. Which of the following activities reveals a nation that loves to play activities closer to the edge?A. Touch football.B. Baseball.C. Scuba diving.D. Aerobics.70. What does Eric mean by saying “We are designed to experience or die”?A. Life with great challenges is a meaningful one.B. Life without great experiences is very common.C. People may die while doing extreme sports.D. Extreme sports are essential parts of human life.Section D (10 marks)Questions 71—75 are based on the following passage.Albert Einstein was one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known. He formulated theories of relativity, successfully described the nature of the universe and came up with the most famous equation in the world. David Beckham is the footballer whose skills and precision have made him one of the most gifted sportsmen of his generation. Who is more intelligent?How Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (MI) dares us to put these two men on neighboring pedestals. Instead of regarding intelligence as a single quantitymeasurable by pen-and-paper tests, Gardner, an education professor at Harvard University, divides human intelligence into no fewer than eight separate categories ranging from mathematical to musical competence. (74)His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence. Gardner’s point is that quantity measures only one capacity, the sort of mental agility that is valued in academic achievement, and that this single number does not do justice to human potential. So he has created his own spheres of achievement. Some categories are easily reconcilable with general perceptions about IQ. For example, “linguistic” intelligence confers a mastery of language, and is the preserve of such people as poets, writers and linguists. “Logical mathematical” intelligence marks out people who take a reasoning approach to physical things, and seek underlying principles. Einstein is the standard –bearer of this group, which also includes philosophers. These two categories are the main components of what we generally think of as “intelligence”.“Musical” intelligence characterizes musicians, composers and conductors. “Spatial” intelligence is about being able to picture perspective, to visualize a world in one’s head with great accuracy. Chess players, artists and architects would rate highly in this category. Dancers, athletes and actors are lumped under the “bodily-kinesthetic” heading; these individual, like Beckham, are able to control their bodies and movements very carefully.Then come two types of “personal” intelligence-intrapersonal, the ability to gauge one’s own mood, feelings and mental states, and interpersonal, being able to gauge it in others and use the information. These two categories could be interpreted as emotional intelligence. Psychiatrists are particularly adept at the former, while religious leaders and politicians are seen as people who can exploit the latter.Charles Darwin is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the eighth intelligence –“naturalist”. This label describes people with a deep understanding of the natural world and its objects. Zoologists and botanists can count themselves among this group.(75)These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, there is aspectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant. But are these really intelligences, or could these competences be more accurately described as gifts or talents?Questions 71—73Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.71. What are the main components of “intelligence” we generally think of?72. What kind of abilities does emotional intelligence involve?73. Which intelligences are represented by Einstein and Beckham respectively? Questions 74—75Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese.74. His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence.75. These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, there is a spectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant.Part V Translation (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the hints given in brackets. Remember to write the answer on the answer sheet.76. 既然没有退路了，我们不妨试试他的方法。

So they started making their own．In l920 Adolph made the firstpair of athletic shoes with spikes(钉)，produced on the Dasslers’ kitchen table．On lst July l924 they formed a shoe company，Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years．The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany’s athletes at the l928 and l932 Olympic Games．But in l948 the brothers argued．No one knows exactly what happened，but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women．The result was that Adolph left the company．His nickname was Adi．and using this and the first three letters of the family name, Dassler, he founded Adidas．Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too．At first he wanted to call it Ruda, but eventually he called it Puma，after the wild cat．The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since．After the big split of l948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years．Both companies were for many years the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma．A hip hop group, Run DMC，has even written a song called “My Adidas” and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok, another big sports shoe company．The terrible family argument should really be forgotten，but ever since it happened，over sixty years ago．the town has been split into two．Even now，some Adidas employees and Puma employees don’t talk to each other．16 Adidas and Puma started to make sports shoes at the end of the l9th century．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 The brothers’ father was a ball maker．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 The brothers first made sports shoes at home．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 The brothers provided sports shoes for the l924 Olympic Games．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 The brothers decided to start up their separate companies after the argument．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Nike sells more shoes than Adidas．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 People in the town have now forgotten the argument．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第23-30题，每题l分，共8分)下面的短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第23—26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第1-4段每段选择1个最佳标题；(2)第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项.Who Built Giza’s Pyramids(金字塔)?1 For centuries，the pyramids of Giza have been timeless symbols of Egyptian culture．But who actually built them? For years，we did not know for sure．But archeologists(考古学家) recently discovered an ancient village near the pyramids．Close by．there was also a cemetery(墓地)where pyramid builders were buried．From studying these places，archeologists can now confirm that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners．Ordinary Egyptians built them．2 It took about eighty years to build the pyramids．According to archeologists．about 20,000-30,000 people were involved in completing the task．The workers had different roles．Some dug up the rock．some moved it，and some shaped it into blocks．People also worked on different teams. each with its ownname．On a wall in Khufu’s Great Pyramid，for example，a group of workers wrote “Fnends of Khufu．”Teams often competed to do a job faster．3 Life for these workers was hard．“We can see that in their skeletons(骨架).”says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din．a scientist studying bodies found in the cemetery．The bones show signs of arthritis(关节炎)，which developed from carrying heavy things for a long time．Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the village and cemetery．The damage to their bones is similar to the men’s．Their lives may have been even tougher：male workers lived to age 40—45．but women to only 30—35．However, workers usually had enough food．and they also had medical care if they got sick or hurt．4 The work was challenging, but laborers were proud of their work．“It's because they were not just building the tomb of their king.”says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass．“They were building Egypt．It was a national project．and everyone was a participant．”23 Paragraph l24 Paragraph 225 Paragraph 326 Paragraph 4A Pyramid builders’ tough livesB An important national projectC Female pyramid builders：the challengesD Female pyramid builders’ jobE Builders of the pyramidsF Egyptian salves27 The pyramids of Giza were built .28 To build the pyramids，the workers had different roles and worked .29 Both men and women workers suffered from arthritis which developed .30 The pyramid builders were proud .A by foreignersB of their workC by ordinary EgyptiansD on different teamsE of their kingF from taking heavy things第4部分：阅读理解(第31-45题，每题3分，共45分)．下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题.请根据短文内容，为每题确定l个最佳选项.第一篇The Changing Middle ClassThe United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation．However，middle class is not a real designation，nor does it carry privileges(特权)．It is more of a perception，which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War Ⅱ．The economy was growing，more and more people owned their own homes．workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them, and nearlyeveryone who wanted a higher education could have one．Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility．They may have started out poor, but they could become rich．Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility．In other words．they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places．The middle class collectively holds several values and principles．One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one’s own economic fate．In addition，middle-class morality(道德观)embraces principles of individual responsibility，importance of family, obligations to others, and believing in something outside oneself．But in the l990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success．AU.S. News & World Report survey in l994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle-class families could no longer make ends meet．Both spouses(配偶)now worked，as didsome of the children，long commutes(通勤)became routine，the need for child care put strains on the family．and public schools were not as good as they once were．Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat(透支)．The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing．31 This passage gives information about .A an individualB a social and economic groupC a political organizationD a government department32 In the years after World War Ⅱ, the middle class were .A overburdened and in debtB hard working and doubtfulC happy and full of hopeD young and upset33 One important middle-class value isthat .A people should always have funB children should believe in themselvesC debt is nothing to worry aboutD they should earn enough to finance their lifestyles34 In the second paragraph, the word “collectively” means .A commonlyB hesitatinglyC unknowinglyD weakly35 The l994 survey showed most Americans thought the middle class .A took pleasure in raising childrenB had a regular journey to workC could not earn enough money to maintain their lifestylesD could easily maintain their lifestyles第二篇Puerto Rican Cuisine(菜肴)Puerto Rico, a Caribbean (加勒比海区) island rich in history and remarkable natural beauty, has a cuisine all its own. Immigration(移民) to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all over the world making various contributions to it. However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents (啮齿动物), fresh shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has been heavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves. Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to create new dishes. The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle, pigs, goats, and sheepto the island. Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful, contrasting tastes in dishes. In fact, much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for - coffee, coconuts, and oranges - was actually imported by foreigners to the island.A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is veryspicy(辛辣的). It's true that chili peppers are popular; aij caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans enjoy. However, milder(微辣的) tastes are popular too, such as sofrito. As the base of many Puerto Rican dishes, sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions, green bell peppers, sweet chili peppers, and a handful of other spices. It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.36、who lived in Puerto Rico firstA. the Taino peopleB. the AfricansC. the SpanishD. the Americans37、In the first paragraph the word “it” refers toA. immigrationB.

Many people thought this was a good plan．They began to give their money to Ponzi．How could Ponzi make so much money for people? This is what he did with the money people gave him：He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money．However, he also kept a lot of the money for himself．Soon he had $250 million．This was a kind of theft, and it was against the law．The people who gave him their money didn’t think anything was wrong．Ponzi paid them every month．just like a bank．Ponzi continued this way of working for two years．Then one day, he didn’t have enough money to pay all the people．They discovered his crime．and he went to prison for fraud．Ninety years later, people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Mad off．People said he gave good advice about money．They said when they gave him their money．he paid them a lot more thanthe bank．Mad off helped hospitals, schools，and individuals earn money．Over a period of 40 years．people gave him $170 billion．However, no one investigated what he did with the money．The people who gave Madoff their money also didn’t think anything was wrong because he paid them every month．One day, Madoff didn’t have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay．That’s when people discovered how Madoff worked：He was taking money from some people to pay other people，just the way Chades Ponzi did．However，this time，instead of losing millions of dollars．people lost billions．Madoff was accused of fraud, and United States government officials arrested him．He didn’t have to go on trial because he said he was guilty．In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison．Bernard Madoff’s crime was even bigger than Ponzi’s．It was the biggest fraud in history．The lesson of this story isclear：When something seems too good to be true，it probably is!41 For every $100,Ponzi promised to pay people .A $5 a yearB $20 a yearC $40 a yearD $100 a year42 What did Ponzi do with the money people gave him?A He spent it all on things for himself．B He deposited it all in a bank．C He kept it all to save for a good plan．D He used some of it to pay other people．43 What was Ponzi’s crime?A He kept a lot of other people’s money for himself．B He robbed the banks of millions of dollars．C He gave people more than the bank did．D He did not pay people their interests．44 How long did Madoff’s tricks last?A Four year．B Nine years．C Forty years．D Ninety years．45 Why didn’t Madoff have to go on trial?A The officials couldn’t find any evidence against him．B He admitted he was guilty．C He had friends in the govemment who helped him．D He returned all the illegal money．第5部分：补全短文(第46-50题，每题2分，共l0分)下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌.Forests for CitiesYou are standing in a beautiful forest in Japan．The air is clean and smells like plants and flowers．There are l75 different kinds of trees，and 60 kinds of birds live here．(46)You are downtown in the city of Nara，Japan，in Kasugayama Forest，the oldest urban forest in the world．It was started more than a thousand years ago，and today it's very popular with tourists and artists．Cities around the world are working to protect their urban forests．Some urban forests are parks，and some are just streets with a lot of trees．But all urban forests have many good effects on the environment．(47)They also stop the noise from heavy traffic．They even make the weather better because they make the air 3-5 degrees cooler，and they stop strong winds．Urban forests also have many good effects on people．They make the city more beautiful．In a crowded area，they give people a place to relax and spend time in nature．(48)In some countries，people are starting new urban forests．In England，there are now 1.3 million trees in an urban forest called Thames Chase，east of London．It was started in 1990，and it has grown very fast.
