Her coworker’s son received a four year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.

I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am a nd usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mea n I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.1.

Tricks can be learned by repetition,but no real thinking is_22_.Cuing,in which animals learn to do or not to do certain things by following outside signals,does not demonstrate intelligence.Scientists believe that insight,the ability to use tools,and communication using human language are all_23_measures of the mental ability of animals.When judging animal intelligence,scientists look for insight,which they define as a flash of sudden understanding.When a young gorilla（大猩猩）could not reach fruit from a tree,she noticedcrates（木板箱）on the lawn near the tree.She_24_the crates into a pyramid,then climbed on them to reach her_25_.The gorilla's insight allowed her to solve a new problem without trial and error.The ability to use tools is also an important sign of intelligence.Crows（乌鸦）use sticks to pry （撬开）peanuts out of cracks.The crow_26_intelligence by showing it has learned what a stick can do._27_,otter（水獭）use rocks to crack open crab shells in order to get at the meat.Many animals have learned to communicate using human language.One chimp can recognize and correctly use more than 220_28_symbols on a keyboard.These symbols_29_human words.An amazing

language to express his needs and_32_.When ill and taken to the animal hospital for his first overnight stay,this parrot turned to go."Come here!"he cried to a scientist who works with him."I love you.I'm sorry.Wanna go back?"The research on animal intelligence raises important questions.If animals are smarter than_33_thought,would that change the way humans interact with them?Would animals still be used for food,clothing,or_34_ experimentation?Finding the answer to these tough questions makesa difficult_35_even for a large-brained, problem-solving species like our own.21.A.developed

C.previously D.scientifically34.A.electrical B.physical C.medical D.logical35.A.decision B.translation C.choice D.puzzle Section BDirections: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In most people's opinion,the tiger is not an animal that we would ordinarily think of as being chicken.However, one tiger,which lives in an English zoo,turned out to be more cowardly（胆小的）than his keepers could ever have imagined.Tanvir,a two-year-old Bengal tiger,got stuck at the top of a new 5m-high activity tower in the zoo,after climbing it for the first time.The wooden tower had been designed to provide mental exercise for Tanvir by testing his ability of dealing with troublesome situations,but after climbing it in just a few seconds,he lost his courage when it came to coming back down.Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of the tower trying to collect the courage to attempt to get down.A spokesperson for the zoo said that several days before Tanvir had taken half an hour to get down a lower tower only 1.5m high,and the taller tower had clearly been too much challenging for him."Every time he got to the edge,he looked out,put a paw over,and thought,‘no,I cannot make it!"’laughed Samantha Cordrey,Tanvir's keeper.In the end Tanvir's hunger defeated his fear,and after almost 48 hours he made his way down.Burying himself in a big meal just like a hungry pig,Tanvir seemed to forget such a shameful experience for a while.It appears that his experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if he continued to act like a chicken.It is not known whether he will take courage to go back up his exercise tower again.The whole episode（插曲）only serves to show the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that will improve animals' living ability in enclosed space.36.When speaking of Tanvir's shameful experience,Samantha Cordrey might feel it was .A.funnyB.surprisingC.excitingD.unbelievable37.What made Tanvir get down the Sm-high activity tower at last?A.The coldness of the weather.B.The direction from his keepers.C.The sufferings of being hungry.D.The fear of being alone.38.Why does the author say "this experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if..."(Paragraph 6)?A.Because Tanvir's keepers will design more difficult exercise for him.B.Because Tanvir is so cowardly that he has little courage to meet greater challenges.C.Because Tanvir's bad health will bring him much trouble in practice.D.Because Tanvir is always careless and often causes trouble by accident.39.The zoo designed the 5m-high activity tower to .A.make Tanvir become braveB.improve Tanvir's performance skillsC.let tourists watch Tanvir betterD.improve Tanvir's living ability(B)It is difficult to give a description of American laws concerning alcohol because they vary from state to state and city to city.The following,though,may be noted.Some towns,even state are totally is sold at all except that they allow the sale of very weak (3.2 percent alcohol) beer,known as "three- two" beer.Some places do not allow the sale of alcohol on Sundays,even in shops—you may find a bar locked over the alcohol shelves.You can see it but not buy it! Other places permit alcohol to be sold on Sunday afternoons and evenings,but not on Sunday mornings.(Note that this means sales have to stop at midnight on Saturday.)In many parts of America,you are not allowed to drink alcohol in a public place.That is,you may not sit in a parlor walk along a street drinking beer,and you cannot even take a nice bottle of wine on your picnic.In some places,people can be seen taking drinks in public places from cans wrapped in brown-paper bags.These are not cans of Coca- Cola.And in many states you are not allowed to drink alcohol while driving,or even have an opened alcohol container in the car.Some bars have a license（执照）only for beer and wine.Others are also allowed to sell spirits（烈性酒）and thus,as Americans say,"mixed drinks".Many bars have a period known as "happy hour",often longer than an hour,when they sell drinks at lower-than- usual prices.This is usually around 5 p.m.and may be only on certain days of the week.Legal drinking age varies from place to place but is generally between 18 to 21.Some places permit the consumption（消费）of beer at 18 but spirits only at 21.Others permit the consumptiononly of "three-two" beer from 18 to 21.(Young people therefore often drive from one place to another with more liberal drinking laws.)In any case, in some parts of the USA young people are allowed to vote,marry,raise children,keep full-time jobs,be tried in courts as adults,join the army and even buy guns—but NOT have a glass of beer.In some places people aged between 18 to 21 are allowed to go into bars but not allowed to drink.Another even more interesting aspect of American drinking-age laws is that in some places people below legal drinking age are not even allowed to sell alcohol.40.If people are seen drinking in public from brown-paper bags,it is for sure that they are______.A.very thirstyB.not having spritsC.not having Coca-ColaD.having Coca-Cola41."happy hour" in many bars refers to______.A.certain days of the week when people are happyB.a certain time usually around 7 pm in a barC.an hour during which people feel happyD.a period of time when some bars sell drinks at lower than usual prices43.Which of the following is a part of American drinking-age laws?A.In some parts of the USA,young people can buy guns and have a glass of beer.B.Legal drinking age is 21.C.In some places people below legal drinking age are not allowed to marry.D.Legal drinking age varies from state to state.(C)Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states.They wanted to buy lottery tickets.The tickets cost only $0.9 each.But that small spending could bring them a reward of $90 million.That was the second largest lottery jackpot（积累奖金）in history.More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing.Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80.The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million.But that little chance certainly didn't affect ticket sales.In the last few days before the drawing,tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action.Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people.It allows them to dream aboutwealth they'll probably never have.But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized gambling.Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets.There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets.Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to some from new taxes.The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens.But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice（恶习）,under the name of social progress.No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not,you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.44.The main idea of the passage is that______. .A.lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys themB.playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock marketC.a lot of people buy lottery tickets ,but lotteries cause disagreementD.lotteries are just legalized vice45.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Politicians like lotteries because they don't have to pay extra tax.B.The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress.C.Some critics don't like lotteries because many poor people waste their money on them.D.People love the lottery because it is a stock market.46.In just one hour in the last few days,the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling______.A.$1.62 millionB.$90millionC.$9.6millionD.$87million47.People who are addicted to playing lotteries should______.A.join a clubB.save every centC.win the PennsylvaniaD.kick the habit Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.B.Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.C.They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all.D.If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring,they are likely to do so.E.It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.F.Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored（水果味道的）contain no fruit at all,while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit,according to a study carried by the British Food Commission."Shoppers need to check the labels（标签）before buying drinks,though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,"said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove."Food production is highly competitive. _48_.It will increase profits,and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked."Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits,meats and vegetables,or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors.Researchers analyzed the contents of28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores._49_.Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries,five of them contained less than one percent real fruit.In addition,each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar._50_.Let's take jam as an example.Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors,or sweeteners,but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought.Under current UK law,Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring.“Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of strawberries is misleading._51_.Unfortunately,it is also legal and widespread,"Takeover said.IV.Dictation.1.acquire2.conceal3.considerable4.evident5.prospect6.portrait7.居民8.灭绝的9.社交的10.毫无疑问的是11.满足某人的需求12.从疾病中恢复13.认为……是理所当然的V.Translation.1.在考试中作弊的学生应受严厉惩罚。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Thought he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages（野人）whose king wanted to kill and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light lamp, said his best ideas came to him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre. To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problem you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images（图像）which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.46. According to the message, Elias Howe was ______ .A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his dreamsB. much more hard-working than other inventors.C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams47. Thomas Edison is spoken of because ______ .A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howe’s friendsD. he also had difficulty in fall ing asleep48. Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because ______ .A. strange messages are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themBRecently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman.I once read a saying, “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t, you may be treated as coldly as winter.”You may consider this an exaggeration（夸张）, but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand doubtful looks and friendl y comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over and over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike…I did this work for a month, and then I decided to give it up. Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse.Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost.Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have some strong negative（负面的）influences on study.Most students don’t view the relationship between study and work correctly. In my opinion, it isn’t a must for financial reasons; students should be careful about taking up a part-time job.49. From the text, we can tell that the writer is ______ .A. an unemployed manB. a middle school studentC. a college studentD. a door-to-door salesman50. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”?A. giving upB. wastingC. usingD. gettingSection C 8%Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentences to fill in the blanks and complete theAre zoos bad for animals?Zoos have existed since ancient times and were features of the great courts of Egypt and China. The display of unusual animals from foreign countries was, for a long time, a show of wealth and power. Today, zoos focus on the preservation of animal species and education of the public. (51) ______Some animals are distinctly unsuited for life in a zoo, however noble the aims of the organization. Keeping elephants in captivity（囚禁）has long caused argument among animal rights activists. Elephants in the wild wander constantly, covering a wide territory on a daily basis. In captivity, they have no choice but to stand still for long periods of time. (52) ______ Yet elephants are a threatened species in their native environments and are heavily caught for ivory（象牙）, leather and meat illegally. To protect the species from extinction, some experts feel that captive breeding programs may be the best strategy for future survival. Many elephants in captivity were rescued from circuses（马戏团），saved from natural disasters or removed from the wild due to injury or abandonment.(53) ______ The chances are, if a zoo has nothing but cement floors and metal enclosures, the animals will not do as well. Many famous zoos now construct enclosures allowing animals freedom of movement and native vegetation. Some zoos have even begun housing species of animals together that normally interact I the wild, such as certain types of monkeys.Zoos are not a perfect solution for preservation. (54) ______ They are undeniably helpful in repopulating declining animal species and encouraging a preservationist outlook, but they are unquestionably primary in their treatment of some animals. Hopefully, animal activists and zoo advocates will continue to work together, finding ways to create the best environment for captive animals in breeding and repopulation efforts.IV.

Use your own words as far as possible.The voice in the BoxWhen I was quite young, my family had one of the first telephones in the neighborhood. I remember well the polished wooden case fastened to the wall on the lower stair landing. But my first personal experience with this genie-in-the-receiver came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I hurt my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but there didn’t seem to be much use crying, because there was no one home to offer sympathy. I walked around the house, and finally arrived at the stairway. The telephone! Quickly I ran for the footstool and dragged it to the landing. Climbing up, I unhooked the receiver and held it to my ear. “Information Please,” I said into the mouthpiece just above my head.A click or two, and a small, clear voice spoke into my ear, “Information.”“I hurt my finger,” I cried into the phone. The tears came readily enough, now that Ihad an audience.“Isn’t your mother at home?” came the question.“Nobody’s home but me,” I sobbed.“Are you bleeding?”“No,” I replied. “I hit it with the hammer and it hurts.”“Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then break off a little piece of ice, and hold it on your finger.That will stop the hurt. Be careful when you use the icepick（冰锥）,” she said. “And don’t cry. You’ll be all right.”After that, I called Information Please for everything. I asked her for help with my geography, and she told me where Philadelphia was, and the Orinoco, the romantic river that I was going to explore when I grew up. She helped me with my arithmetic, and she told me that my pet chipmunk----I had caught him in the park just the day before----would eat fruit and nuts.V.
