They are men and women recognized for shap ing our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星), who are legendary, who somehow mange to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death - such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.The passage mainly deals with ______.单选题A. A. life and deathB. B. heroes and heroinesC. C. heroes and iconsD. D. icons and celebritiesHeroes and heroines are usually _________.单选题A. A. courageousB. B. exemplaryC. C. self-sacrificingD. D. all of the aboveWhich of the following statements is wrong? _________单选题A. A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B. B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. C. One's look can contribute to being famous.D. D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love________.单选题A. A. when she was 19B. B. when she became a princessC. C. just before her deathD. D. after she gave birth to a princeWhat is more likely to set an icon’s status? ________单选题A. A. Good looks.B. B. Tragic and early death.C. C. Personal attraction.D. D. The quality of one's story.22.One way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals, such as mice and monkeys. The scientists in this laboratory are experimenting on mice. They are studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time, over one hundred experiments are being done in this laboratory.In one of these experiments, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receivingthe same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three cups.After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.The second group of mice is normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years, not the three years or more of the thinner mice.The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought - about a year and a half. But they aren’t as healthy. They’re sick more often than the other two groups.(1)、The scientists in the laboratory are studying the relationship between the amou nt of food and diet.T 正确 F错误单选题A. A. TB. B. FC. C.D.

一、阅读理解(共10题，每题2分，共20分)请阅读以下文章，回答文章后的五个小题。

每个小题只有一个最佳选项。

1).Coffee is a powerful drink. On a personal level, it helps keep us awake and active. On a much general level, it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.Coffee plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were probably used by travelling tribes (部落）for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the 1400s that people figured out they could roast its seeds. “Then it really took off,”said historian Mark Pendergrast—author of Uncommon Grounds: the History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World. By the 1500s, the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world within another 150 years, it took Europe by storm. “It actually had a major impact on the rise of business,” Pendergrast says. Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.The insurance industry was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’s 2,000 coffeehouses. Literature, newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also inspired in coffeehouses.It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when American colonists (殖民者）attacked British tea ships and threw large boxes of tea into the harbor, Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee. “There’s a lot of truth to the story, I found,” Pendergrast says. He mentions a letter John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which the Founding Father declares his love of tea but says he will have to learn to accept coffee instead, because drinking tea had become unpatriotic (不爱国的).For all the upsides coffee has brought the modem world, it also brought its fair share of downsides, too. Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world, and this frequently meant they made people into slaves in order to grow it.1. According to the passage，which of the following has nothing to do with coffee?A. Literature.B. Newspapers.C. The insurance industry.D. The oil industry.2. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. The Boston Tea Party took place in 1773.B. Europeans figured out ways to use coffee during the 1670s.C. During the 1770s, more and more Americans began to drink coffee.D. Coffee is a refreshing drink.3. The author of the book believes that__________.A. drinking coffee was unpatrioticB. 2000 insurance companies were set up hundreds of years agoC. Europeans were responsible for the existence of slaveryD. coffee actually influenced the rise of business4. The phrase “took off” in the second paragraph means “_________”.A. dropped to the groundB. became very successfulC. removed its coatD. went away suddenly5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. When Coffee Became PopularB. Coffee Is a Powerful DrinkC. How Coffee Influenced the Course of HistoryD. What Impact Coffee Has on Human Behavior2).The most famous collections of fairy tales (童话) are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition(版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up t he language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.The Grimms’ fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include vio lent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding Hood” a child is eaten by a wolf.When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck(啄) out their eyes.Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.6. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?A. To deal with readers’ complaints.B. To improve his financial situation.C. At the request of his publisher.D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.7. When revising the fairy tales, Wilhelm did all of the following EXCEPT ___.A. adding character judgmentsB. making the tales much longerC. deleting the violent scenesD. polishing up the language8. What does the expression “ramped it up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Started.B. Allowed.C. Classified.D. Increased.9. Which of the following statements about the Grimms’ fairy tales is TRUE according to the passage?A. They were originally intended to be children’s stories.B. Generally speaking, the tales that have endured can help children deal with the challenges life brings to them.C. A large number of the tales made it to the modem age.D. They are less violent than the children’s stories being written today.10. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. History of fairy tales.B. Ways to preserve the oral tradition.C. The Grimms’ fairy tales.D. Violence in fairy tales.二、词汇与结构(共15题，每题2分，共30分)11.

If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.(1)、What is the main idea of this passage? ________单选题A. A. A：It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B. B. B：The role of time in social life over the world.C. C. C：If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D. D.

The small black ants that we see running back and forth in the grass are the same ants that bother us by coming to our picnics uninvited. They are not trying to be harmful, but are only doing the house-keeping job they were made for.They are nature’s clean-up crew. One of these ants, scouting(搜索) in the grass, finds the trail of an injured beetle. In some mysterious way the news spreads. Soon there are two ants, then a few more. Then a dozen or more are running around the beetle. Enough ants will come to put an end to it.Then the beetle is dead, the ants carry it away to their underground nests.

How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa, talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?Betty shrugs. Talk? We’re friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear. Women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”.More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Y et three-quarters of the single women had noproblem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress（情感危机）. “Most women,”says Rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in thei r lives”.“In general,”writes Rubin in her new book, “women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part, Rubin says , interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior”.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,”Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”6. What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that B .A. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandB. women have so much to shareC. women show little interest in ballgamesD. his wife is difficult to talk to7. Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to B .A. a male friendB. a female friendC. her parentsD. her husband8. According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society? CA. Ending his marriage without good reason.B. Spending too much time with his friends.C. Complaining about his marriage trouble.D. Going out to ballgames too often.9. Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph? AA. Men keep their innermost feeling to themselves.B. Women are more serious than men about marriage.C. Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.D. Women depend on others in making decisions.10. The research done by psychologist Rubin centers on B .A. happy and successful marriageB. friendships of men and womenC. emotional problems in marriageD. interactions between men and womenPassage2There is no doubt that man is a member of the animal kingdom. Anyone who has thought about this fact seriously must have wondered how it has come about that man has achieved a position so supreme（最高的）among the myriad(无数的) kinds of animal life. Two characteristics of man, in comparison with all other animals, that stand out above all others are the creation and use of tools and the development and use of language. Since no other animals have achieved these abilities, it must be assumed that man’s evolutionary development led to his capacity to create and use tools and to devise and use language.Once these abilities and practices evolved, they probably became driving forces in the further evolution of man. Those members of the species who become most proficient(精通的) in thefabrication of tools and in the command of language and thought would tend to survive and maintain their kind for good, at the expense of those of lesser ability.11. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage? AA. Tools and language are either the effects or the causes of human evolution.B. No other animals have achieved human abilities.C. Among the animals, only man is able to use tools and language.D. Man owns his capacity to making use of tools and language.12. “Animal kingdom” in the passage refers to C .A. the place where all animals liveB. the animal societyC. all kinds of animals, including manD. the forest with animals13. One important condition for man’s evolution is D .A. the animal kingdomB. a supreme positionC. the myriad kindsD. his natural capacity14. The phrase “come about” in the passage is likely to mean ____A____.A. happenedB. appearedC. arrivedD. succeeded15. The last sentence suggests that B .A. those of lesser ability would be very expensiveB. in order to survive, man has to sacrifice some other animalsC. those who become proficient in making tools can speak wellD. language and thought could be acquired by man第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）16.

You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist¡¯s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein¡¯s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.ÍêÐÍÌî¿Õ Ò»¹²8Ìâ ÿÌâ1·Ö(1)×éºÏÌâMr. Clarke works in a middle school.
