It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (79)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they ar e working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and war mth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Word makes one feel his value and status in society.

BA.People Should Find a JobB.Working Hard Is Good for HealthC.People Should Make More Friends by WorkD.The Loss of Word Means the Loss of EverythingPassage 2A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture t han is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history cours es concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information a bout thedaily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. （78） In shor t, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history b ooks.In history books, objective information about the political life of a coun try is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective（主观的）: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first t ruly “ political ” artist. In his well -known painting The Third of May , 1808, h e criticized the Spanish government for its abuse （滥用） of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a culture ' s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn ' t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church wal ls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was （andstill is） its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islami c belief that statues （雕像） are not holy.6.More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because ___. CA.art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB.general history only focuses on politicsC.art history gives us an insight （洞察力） into the essential qualities o f a time and a placeD.general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psycholog y7.Art is subjective in that . AA. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB.it only reflects people ' s anger or sadness about social problemsC.it can easily arouse people ' s anger about their governmentD.artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society8.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? CA.In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B.Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808C.In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on pala ces or other building.D.For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.9 The passage mainly discusses . BA.the development of art historyB.he difference between general history and art historyC.what we can learn from artD.the influence of artists on art history10.It can be concluded from the passage that . CA.Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in thei r paintingsB.it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC. a history teacher must be quite objectiveD.artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their politica l beliefsPassage 3Blind people can “ see” things by using other parts of their bodies. Thisfact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can se nse color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciousl y（无意识地）。

Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism（mastery of two languages）. Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, manysmall languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing（同化的）forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient（有活力的）,however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous（原生的，土著的）communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.A．an increasingly interconnected worldB．maintaining small numbers of speakersC．relatively isolated language communitiesD．following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is _______.A．uncertain B．unrealistic C．foreseeable D．definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_________.A．small languages become acceptable in work placesB．homogenize the world’s languages and culturesC．global languages reach home and community settingsD．speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identityputer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it_________.A．makes learning a global language unnecessaryB．facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC．raises public awareness of saving those languagesD．makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are________.A．remarkably well-kept in this modern worldB．exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC．quite possible to be revived instead of dying outD．a unique way of bringing different groups togetherPassage TwoEveryone，it seems，has a health problem。

BA.People Should Find a JobB.Working Hard Is Good for HealthC.People Should Make More Friends by WorkD.The Loss of Word Means the Loss of EverythingPassage 2A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture t han is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history cours es concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information a bout the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. (78) In shor t, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history b ooks.In history books, objective information about the political life of a coun try is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective(主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first t ruly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, h e criticized the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用) of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundre ds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t re ad, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church wal ls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues (雕像) are not holy.6. More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than ge neral history because ___. CA. art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB. general history only focuses on politicsC. art history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities o f a time and a placeD. general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psycholog y7. Art is subjective in that _____. AA. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB. it only ref lects people’s anger or sadness about social problemsC. it can easily arouse people’s anger about their governmentD. artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? CA. In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B. Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808C. In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on pala ces or other building.D. For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.9 The passage mainly discusses _____. BA. the development of art historyB. he difference between general history and art historyC. what we can learn from artD. the influence of artists on art history10. It can be concluded from the passage that _____. CA. Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in thei r paintingsB. it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC. a history teacher must be quite objectiveD. artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their politica l beliefsPassage 3Bl ind people can “see” things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can se nse color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciousl y(无意识地)。

We gave National Car Rental our offer and 43 our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also 44 them that if we failed, they would be no worse off, 45 they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.“We got the job and immediately went into 46 . Working at night needed lights, so I renteda machine to produce electricity for the site. Our 47 challenge was to keep the rock mixture48 enough. All the available water wagons (洒水车) were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one. 49 , I got a special 50 to rent fire engine hoses (消防水龙带) and connect them to nearby hydrants (消防栓); then I 51 held one of those hoses to 52 down the rock.“Those ten days were filled with challenges that 53 one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the 54 company that had cars on the parking lot.“The key to our success was having the 55 to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”36.

The main purpose of this article is _________.A. to tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolenB. to suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safeC. to give you advice on where to buy a good lockD. to say why you shouldn’t keep your bicycle in a quiet placeBProfessor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (个体) and be networked at the same time? Y ou need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to- person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected —helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people —at the same time!60. The underlined phrase “networked individualism”probably means that by using computerspeople ________.A. stick to their own ways no matter what other people sayB. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interestC. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other peopleD. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people61. According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?A. Networks.B. Friends.C. Phones.D. Parents.62. It can be inferred from the Pew study that _______.A. people have been separated from each other by using computersB. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonelyC. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communicationD. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing63. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. We’re Alone on the Internet.B. We’re Communicating on the Internet.C. We’re Alone Together on the Internet.D. We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet.CExperience the newly opened Grand Canyon (大峡谷) West Skywalk in Colorado.

The right half controlsthe left side.◆One half of the brain is always dominant (in charge). Usually, the left brain isdominant, which is why 90% of people are right-handed.68.

My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own!When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world —Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.Y ou may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.71. What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______.A. caringB. movingC. encouragingD. interesting72.

Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.第Ⅱ卷（计35分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：对话填空 (本节共１０小题，每小题１分，满分１０分)请认真阅读下列对话，并根据各题所给的首字母的提示，在答题卡右栏中标有题目的横线上，写出一个英语单词的完整、正确的形式，使对话通顺。
