She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English verywell. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and fiends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales（称）. Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.“What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in fist. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval. (224 words)11.

Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words)16. Our long-term goals mean a lot ____________.A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. If we complete the short-term goalsC. If we have dreams of the futureD. If we put forward some plans17. New short-term goals are built upon ____________.A. a daily basisB. your achievement in a weekC. current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed18. When we complete each step of our goals, ____________.A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we should build up confidence of successD. we should have strong desire for setting new goals19. What is the main idea of this passage? ____________A Life is a dynamic thing. B. we should set up long-term goalsC. Different kinds of goals in life.D. The limitation of long-term goals.20. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ____________A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goalsB. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C. Life is a static thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.D. We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.Passage 3===P127Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary（周年纪念）of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug（拥抱）, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys（调查）show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”,they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel. (320 words)21. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ____________.A. friendlyB. impoliteC. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate22. The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and Britain.A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm23. The British are not so friendly to ____________ and the French are not so friendly to ____________.A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America24. ____________ are more interested in having holidays in ____________.A. American people…BritainB. British people …GermanyC. French people …BritainD. British people …France25. What does the last sentence mean?A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.第三部分：词汇与结构（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）26. I don’t know the park, but it’s ______ to be quite beautiful.A. saidB. toldC. spokenD. talked27.

We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget(预算).As your hotels offer anything from coffee and toast to a full American breakfast at very reasonable prices, it will never be a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best. At lunch stops, your tour guide will show you where you can find salads, soups, and sandwiches.Dinner time is your chance to try some local food. Sometimes the tour guide will let you have dinner at a restaurant of your own choice. At other times he or she will recommend a restaurant atyour hotel. Years of research have taught us which restaurants reliably serve a good choice of delightful dishes at down-to-earth prices.In Mexico, Alaska, and the Yukon, where your restaurant choice may be limited, we include some meals.

Flexible workinghours, or …flextime‟, are catching on fast, and this trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200.000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain "key" limes in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability to be able to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employers‟ point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the workers a greater sense of duty.1. According to the passage, the _____ invented the "flexible working hours".A. JapaneseB. AmericansC. GermansD. British2.

They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, "What is the difference in taste?"The leader said, "The second time the milk tastes terrible." "That is because of the wateradded to the milk," said the king. “The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will spoil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king lo taste it. "It tastes sweet," said the king.The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said. "Oh, king! That is how we would like lo live here: as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk." Pleased with him the king granted them permission to stay.1．The leader of the Jews went to the king because____________ .A. they wanted to ask directionsB. they wanted to drink some milkC. they wanted to live thereD. they wanted to go through the kingdom2．____________________________ Why was the king hesitant?A.

They are in space, and they canreach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.6.Satellites travel above space.A.TB.F答案：B7.We use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere because the weather forms there.A.TB.F答案：A8.Meteorologists forecast the weather after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones.A.TB.F答案：A9.Maybe we'll soon be able to forecast the weather for five days.A.TB.F答案：B10.The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in weather forecasting.A.TB.F答案：AIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. 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 andrequires 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.11.What is the main idea of this passage? ________A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.答案：B12.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _______A.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.答案：B13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A.at 7:00 amB.at 4:00 pmC.at the midnightD.at 4 am答案：B14.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ________A.In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.No misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A..D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.答案：D15.From the passage we can safely infer that _______A.it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C.it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D.if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation.答案：B三、词汇与语法16.Oh, your voice sounds quite different ______the phone.A.inB.onC.forD.from答案：B17.It was well known that Thomas Edison _____ the electric lamp.A.discoveredB.inventedC.foundD.developed答案：B18.Don’t forget ________ the window before leaving the room.A.to have closedB.to closeC.having closedD.closing答案：B19.The reason I did not go abroad was _____ a job in my home town.A.becauseB.due toC.that I gotD.because of getting答案：C20.The boy is not happy at the new school.
