Today’s advertisements , or ads, try to get consumers(消费者) to buy certain brands(品牌) . Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can. sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片) , or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.For example, you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There areprobably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on a shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it.Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.60. What is discussed in this passage?A. The content of modern advertising.B. The skills of modern advertising.C. The results of modern advertising.D. The writing of modern advertising.61. According to the passage, a good advertisement should .A. be both persuasive and effectiveB. give people useful informationC. show people a productD. show people a new idea of a product62. From the passage, we know that .A. modern advertising has less effect on customersB. once customers see ads about a new cerea1, they are sure to buy itC. cereal can make people strongD. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people63. What can we infer from the passage?A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.C. It’s impossible for cus tomers to buy a product without advertisements.D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.CLucky is the man who has no “ skeleton(骷髅) in his closet.” When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of and that he wants to hide, he is said to have a “ skeleton in his closet.” Some people may have more than one skeleton.As we have noted many times, it is hard to find out how these expression begin. Sometimes, we get some hard facts. But more often we have to depend on guesswork. And that is true of this phrase, which came from England.Before 1832, English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless it was the corpse (尸体) of an executed (处决) criminal.But when it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine. It was helpful in the advance of modern medicine. The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices.We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study. It became very important in his work. But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing. As a rule, the doctor would keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen, or hide it in a closet.After a time, people began to suspect every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet. From this suspicion, the phrase “ a skeleton in the closet” took on a broader, more general meaning. To describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering. It could be proof of a criminal act, or something much less serious. Well, there is one more theory.One writer, however, believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton, clear proof of some old family shame or crime. Well, one man’s guess is as good as another. But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist, Balzac.Balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover. The husband comes home by surprise. But she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom. He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover. He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there. He will believe her. She answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet.The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wife watches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. If she doesn’t admit her guilt, her lover will become a skeleton in the closet in years.64.Which of the following situations is suit able for using the phrase “ Skeleton in the closet”?A. You have stolen something precious and don’t want it discovered.B. You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research.C. If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep theskeleton a secret.D. You have done a crime or done something foolish, but you want to keep others from discovering it.65. From the text we know there are _____ theories about how the phrase “ Skeleton in the closet”came into being.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four66. Which of the following is right according to the text?A. In the 19th century, doctors realized the importance of anatomy (解剖) in the development ofmedicine.B. The doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeletons as possible.C. The thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors.D. It is legal that corpses of anybody are cut open for scientific examination in history.DAncient people made clay pottery(陶器) because they needed it for their survival. They used the pots they make for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place. Pottery was so important to early cultures that scientists now study it to learn more about ancient civilizations. The more advanced the pottery in terms of decoration, materials, glazes, and manufacture, the more advanced the culture itself.The artisan who makes pottery in North America today utilizes his or her skill and imagination to create items that are beautiful as well as functional, transforming something ordinary into something special and unique.The potter uses one of the Earth's most basic materials, clay. Clay can be found almost anywhere. Good pottery clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that would make the potting process difficult. Most North American artisan potters now purchase commercially processed clay, but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work.The most important tools potters use are their own hands; however, they also use wire loop tools, wooden modeling tools, plain wire, and sponges. Plain wire is used to cut away the finished potfrom its vase on the potter's wheel.After a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it placed in a kiln and fired. The first firing hardens the pottery, and it is then ready to be glazed and fired again.For areas where they do not want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later burn off in the kiln. They then pour on the liquid glaze and let it run over the clay surface, making any kind of decorative pattern that they want.67. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Different kinds of clay.B. The training of an artisan.C. The making of pottery.D. Crafts of ancient civilizations.68. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way that ancient people used pottery?A. To hold food.B. To wash clothes.C. To cook.D. To transport objects.69. According to the author, what do potters use to remove the pot from the wheel?A. Melted wax.B. A wire loop.C. A sponge.D. Plain wire.70. The word ‘pattern’ in the last sentence is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. Model.B. Color.C. Puzzle.D. Design.Ⅴ任务型阅读New research says 35% of child deaths worldwide are caused by hunger. The research comes from poor to middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.Robert Black from the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland is the lead writer of the research. He says more than 3.5 million mothers and children under 5 die in poor countries each year because of hunger.He says more than two million children die from underdevelopment, either before or after birth. Millions of others who survive face a lifetime of disabilities or early death and the effects are not just physical. Poor mental development also results from hunger as children grow. Then the cycle of poverty and hunger often continues for their children.Doctor Black says hungry children are also more likely to have conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease as adults. He says the studies show that food programs need to place the greatest importance on the first two years of life. Hungry children can suffer their whole life damage from age two.It is high time their diets were improved. Diets should include foods rich in vitamin A and other useful vitamins and minerals. The researchers say early help such as this could reduce child deaths by 25%.This research has also faced some criticism. A medical aid group says the researchers underestimate(低估) the number of child deaths due to hunger. The researchers say there are最近，你们班级展开一场讨论，主题是当得知朋友染上了恶习，如抽烟，喝酒，撒谎，考试作弊，逃课或整夜上网，是否告知他的家长或老师。

untouched, Such event as a tornado(龙卷风)struck the northeastern part of Edmonton ，Alberta ，in July 1987．Total damages from the tornado went beyond 250 million ，the highest ever for any Canadian storm ． Traditional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short —lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado ． because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the slight atmospheric changes that come before these storms ．In most nations ，for example ，weather —balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at places separated by hundreds of miles ．With such limited data ，traditional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large areas than they do forecasting specific local events ． Until recently ，the observation intensive method needed for exact ，very short —range forecasts ，or“Nowcasts ，”was not possible ．The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was extremely high ，and the difficulties concerned in rapidly collecting and processing the weather data from such a network were hard to overcome ． Fortunately ，scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems ．Radar(雷达)systems and satellites are all able to make detailed ，nearly continuous observation over large areas at a lower cost ．Communications satellites can send out data around the world cheaply and immediately ，and modern computers can quickly collect and analyze this large amount of weather information ． Meteorologists(气象学者)and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment able to change weather data into words and graphic displays(图解)that forecasters can………………线understand easily and quickly．As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices，nowcasting is becoming a reality．56．Why can’t traditional computer models predict short—lived local storms?A．The weather data people collect are often wrongB．Detailed weather data in some small areas are not availableC．The computers are not advanced enough to predict themD．The computers are not used to forecast specific local events57．The word“Nowcast”in Paragraph 3 mean s .A．a network to collect storm data B．a way of collecting weather dataC．a more advanced system of weather observationD．a forecast which can predict weather in the small area58．What can make“Nowcasts”a reality according to the passage?A．Scientific and technological advances B．Advanced computer programsC．Computer scientists D．Meteorologists59．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The advantages of“Nowcasts”B．A tornado in Edmonton，AlbertaC．The difficulty in predicting tornado D．A great development in weather forecastBAs I crammed myself onto a crowded train this morning，I noticed there was a very pregnant(怀孕的)woman standing near me，jammed in tightly and hanging on for dear life．I looked at the passengers sitting in the seats that are supposed to be surrendered to the elderly，physically challenged，and other people who need to sit，Not one of them even looked up；everyone was too absorbed in what they were listening to，reading，or watching to even notice the pregnant passenger．Over the past few years，there have been countless discussions on minding our manners within our new modes of communication．But while we’ve been debating the dos and doesn’t of technology etiquette(礼节)，it appears that many of us have forgotten some of the old school manners that have nothing to do with a keyboard or a monitor，but have everything to do with the long —forgotten Golden Rule．Maybe technology has eroded our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days．“Giving up your seat to someone is so easy．Even when people don’t accept your offer，I think it’s nice to get up and stay standing so they know you’re sincere．The more that we become the good example，the more it will catch on．”Lizzie Post，says great-great granddaughter of Emily Post．Soph isticated technology doesn’t mean that good manners have to be a thing of the past．In fact，Post says she defines good manners using three simple，everyday principles：consideration，respect，and honesty．“Apply those to any situation and toward all the people involved including yourself and the solution will make sense．”60．No one gave up his seat to the pregnant women because .A．The woman doesn’t need a seat at all B．It’s not common to give up his seat to others who need it C．No one noticed her on the such crowed train D．Everyone is so tired that all want to have a rest 61．Paragraph 2 suggests that .A．We are always having discussions on minding our mannersB．Many of us have forgotten some of the old school mannersC．It’s technology that has eroded our brains so muchD．Students always care about their own business instead of school manners62．The underlined phrase“catch on”in the third paragraph refers to.A．being understood B．being popularC．being taken D．being caught63．What did Lizzie Post say shows that she was？A．honest B．politeC．respectable D．friendlyCThe best way to explain how the stock（股票）market works is to imagine that you get together with four of your friends and form a company to produce a soda with a new taste, which you are going to sell in apressurized bottle. You find that you need $600 for the expenese involved in starting the business. One of you contributes $200; a second , only $50 ; a third ,$150 ; a fourth , $100 ; and the fifth , also $100 .

The training I received , though excellent , did not tell me how it was to work with a real student , however . When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read , I realized the true importance of reading .My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three . In the first lesson , I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take . When I told her I would get her a bus schedule , she told me it would not help because she could not read it . She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needs. Since she did not know words , she could not write out a shopping list . Also , she could only recognize items by sight , so if the product had a different label , she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together , learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence , which encouraged her to continue her studies . She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket . After this successful trip , she reported how self-confident she felt . At the end of the program , she began helping her youngest son , Tony , a shy first grader with his reading . She sat with him before be went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories . When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read , pride was written all over her face . As she described this experience , I was proud of myself as well . I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before .As a literacy volunteer , I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others . In fact , I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.68．What did the author do last summer?A．She worked in the supermarket. B．She helped someone to learn to read.C．She gave single mothers the help they needed.D．She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.69．Why didn’t Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?A．Because she liked to walk to the supermarket. B．Because she lived far away from the bus stop.C．Because she couldn’t afford the bus ticket.D．Because she couldn’t find the right bus. 70．How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?A．She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.B．She asked others to take her to the right place.C．She managed to find the goods by their looks. D．She remembered the names of the goods. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）71 People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies．Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich．On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland.This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun．Even in ancient times，some pleasure travel occurred．During a typical season，700，000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome，where animals performed and magicians entertained them．7273 International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010，according to the World Trade Organization．74 Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical well-being．Actually，traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel．In our fast developing society where stress has become part of people’s life，people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities．75 No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind．In 18th century Europe，young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education．Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media．People who travel to other countries can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture．A．But why do people like traveling so much?B．Throughout history，most travel was not for pleasure．C．So they travel to a lake for a swim or to a park for a bike．D．The improvement in transportation has also encouraged people to travel．E．Wealthy Romans made trips to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games．F．The growth of tourism has become a modern phenomenon experienced by all countries in the world．G．Another important reason for traveling is to satisfy our curiosity about different places and cultures．第二卷第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分。
