Dr Reynolds was a(n) (31)eminentdoctor from the big city. Itseemed as if he was in the newspaper every day. My grandfather lived in asmall (32)suburboutside the city. This was at a time when such neighbourhoodswere still relatively new. People just couldn't understand why anyone would want to live so far from the city centre.However, the neighbourhood my grandfather lived in was growing every day. Many people couldn't afford to live in the city, and others were tired of the crowds. Cost and congestioncomprised a real (33)curseof the cities, a problem that has only gottenworse with time. Large sections of the urban (34)workforcewere moving out ofthe city to the smaller towns. Along with these people and their families, companies also started to relocate outside major cities. A great example of this was Dr Reynolds.It is impossible to overstate the (35)magnitudeof the significance thatDr Reynolds' move had on my grandfather's town. Because he was so famous, there was obviouslya considerable amount of (36)hypeassociated with his arrival. However, hequickly showed that he had the skills to back up his reputation. Dr Reynolds was not only abig, (37)brawnyman who played football in his youth, but he also graduatedat the top of his class in medical school.I'd be willing to (38)betthat this was one of the most exciting thingshappened in my grandfather's town. It must have been since he told the story so many times!Dr Reynolds' arrival (39)fundamentallychanged the dynamics of the town. It was nolonger "far away" from the city; it suddenly became "just outside" the city limits. Today, the world is changing much faster than can be measured by the arrival of a big-city doctor in asmall town. Who knows, maybe (40)somedayI'll have my own story to tell my owngrandchildren!Your answer Correct answer(31)eminent eminent(32)suburb suburb(33)curse curse(34)workforce workforce(35)magnitude magnitude(36)hype hype(37)brawny brawny(38)bet bet(39)fundamentally fundamentally(40)someday somedayPart III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Sometimes it seems we hear about the wonders of modern technology on a daily basis. I will admit that it's hard to argue with the facts. Computers, automobiles, the Internet, and increasingly smaller handheld devices certainly do make our lives more convenient. Everything, it seems, is getting faster, lighter, cheaper, and smaller. Pretty soon, computers will be the size of iPods and iPods will be the size of fingernails.Technology is making our lives more convenient, to be sure. But is it making our lives better How dependent on these conveniences should we become How dependent have we already become Instant communication, video telephones, robots, thousands of songs in the palm of your hand—all of these things are now available at your local shopping centre. Indeed, what was once considered science fiction now seems downright plausible. I can realistically envision a world where literally everything we do depends on a computer or a machine and, frankly, it scares me.Consider the following scenario. Michael begins his day by waking up to an electric alarm clock. He gets dressed and pours himself a cup of coffee from a machine that is set to brew automatically every morning. He walks to the corner and boards a subway train for his commute to work. The train is controlled by a computer that knows how fast to go and when to slow down and stop. Michael entershis office building through doors that "see" he is coming and open for him. At work, Michael sitsin front of a computer all day to do his job. He writes e-mails, updates a Website, attends a video conference online, and makes telephone calls. At night, he relaxes in front of the television (which has recorded all of his favourite shows), or he reads an e-book on his smart phone. How much of Michael's day is not dependent on computers or machines How much of this scenario is unbelievable The answer: none of it. It is a daily reality for many people.Look around you. Do you use a computer to send e-mails, write reports, do homework, or search the Internet What happens when that computer gets a virus or breaks down Most people just sit there, baffled. They simply don't know what to do because they don't know how the computer works. We dependon computers to make our lives easier, and we depend on computer technicians to keep our computers operational. The same can be said for nearly any technology. That's why engineers, computer professionals, and technology consultants make such remarkable salaries.The more we rely on technology, the more we rely on specialists. The more we rely on specialists, the less responsible we feel to actually know how to do something. This is a slippery slope that will eventually lead most people to complete ignorance of how things work. It is ironic, then, that the very technologies that are currently touted as the greatest advancements in human knowledge could ultimately have the exact opposite effect.41.The writer of this passage would probably agree with which of the following statementsA. Technology is beginning to control our lives.B. Computers play a marginal role in our society.C. We rely on computer specialists because they are convenient.D. Technology is slowly becoming more expensive.42.The writer's scenario with Michael is presented in order to _____.A. describe an innovationB. substantiate his argumentC. illustrate an example from a bygone time.D. brag about personal accomplishments43.Which paragraph draws a personal analogy to the readerA. Paragraph 2.B. Paragraph 3.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5.44.Which of the following is the best one-sentence summary of this passageA. Technology makes our lives more convenient.B. Science fiction is becoming a daily reality.C. Everybody uses computers and other technologies.D. The more we rely on technology, the more helpless we become.45.Which of the following events does not support the writer's main ideaA. Marcus plays the latest video game after school.B. Lisa reads a book before going to bed each night.C. Carol uses a GPS system to find her way in a new city.D. Tony blogs and sends e-mails from his mobile phone.。

What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the UN declared it "The World Year of Physics". It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein's theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.。

第一单元-clozeHow can student do well at school ? Are straight-A students always those who are the brightest? Students are very interesting in getting answers to questions like these as achieving academic excellence is , and will always be, one of their top priorties at school.A professor of education who has recently conducted a survey on the subject revealed that top grades do not always go to the brightest students . When some basic principles are followed, everyone can become a top student.to begin with, study should always be the number one priority for a student. Study time is always guaranteed and should never be compromised for personal recreation such as movies, tv programs or snacks. In addition, learning to be organized is very important. Keeping everything in its place and filing class notes in order are two good examples.Speaking up in class and asking questions is another winning formula. A student can clarify any doubts by asking questions. Particpation in group study is another help. by framing tentative test questions based on class notes, students can help each other prepare for tests. Last but not least, always hand in neat work. A student who turns in nest work is already on the way to scoring an A.A student may suffer from different kinds of pressure at school, but if he follows these principles in his studies, sooner or later he will become a top student.第二单元-clozeMany of us these days are learning language a foreign language. We are interesting in learning another language because we know that knowledge of another language and culture will increase our career opportunities, broaden our horizons and enrich our life. Since learning a foreign language is of such importance, no doubt people are constantly looking for more efficient ways of language learning. Most people say the best way to learn language is to say in the country where it is spoken. It is true those who go to a native country have advantage over those who don't . But living abroad needs money, and not everyone can affort to do so. Those who don't go abroad may turn to language schools for nguage schools usually claim that they can teach student to speak the language they want to learn fluently within 3 to 6 months because they have more qualified teachers and better facilities. To a certain extent, a good teacher is indeed important in language learning, but it would be ridiculous to claim that any teacher has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation. In fact, there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers,because every teacher is an individual with his / her own personality. What a student needs to remember then is to is to find out a method that best suits himself / herself.第四单元-clozeWhen I was a child, I was really proud of heaving a father who was a well-respected doctor. I beamed whenever my teachers said that I was set to become an honorableman like my father. However, all this changed when I grew into a teenager. I felt awkward that everybody around me only remembered me as Dr.Song's son. I protested and told them that I would prefer to stand on my own two feet. However, my compliments were never taken seriously and I continued to hear compliments about me, which were really meant for my father.I then grew very stubborn and even refused to call my father "Dad." Although my father forwned whenever I called him "Lao Song" my attitude towards him, as now recall, did not change until I had a car accident one day. I hit a young man's car and panicked as he threatened to beat me up when I told him no car insurance. When I got off my car and surveyed the damage, I could not help groaning.Out of fear, I told him "I'm Dr.Song's son." At this, a sign of recognition lit up his face; he smiled and forgave me. What could have been a very difficult situation turned out to be fine just because I was Dr.Song's son. How thankful I felt towards my father.第五单元-clozeWhen a person is born, he / she has a set of personalities that make him / her different from others. Psychologists believe that colors are sometimes a good way to include how a person behaves and the way he / she responds to things that are happening to him / her. They can also represent personality traits.Nonetheless, we cannot be absolutely sure about a person's characteristics by just looking at his / her preference for certain colors.Therefore, we should not be harsh and critical toward a person just because he / she likes specific color that not represent some positive traits or characteristics. Psychologists also believe that everyone can develop or change his / her personality. For example, if an individual wants to correct his / she negative traits such as his / she has to be immature behavior, he / she has to make an effort to do so. He /She has to be persistant and keep working hard to ensure that he / she can achieve his / her goal. Therefore, if a person is determined, he / she can change the traits he / she inherits from his / her parents. The important thing is to change for the better and not for the worse.第七单元-clozeBeing a good boss has never been easy for me. The most difficult part is not about work, but about dealing with relationships at the workplace. I each and every employee in my company is significant to its development, I need to give enough attention and care to everyone ang to be approachable to all. At the start of the business, I encountered difficult situations and I was unsure what the best way was to handle them. For example, when an employee made a mistake, I hesitated about whether to scold him or her. Would I appear to be an important boss to my employees if I did so?Would they continue to make mistakes if I was too lenient? Sometimes, I had to settle disputes among the employees if they did not see eye to eye with each other on some tasks. This too was difficult. Should I blame any party or should I defend anyone? How would I bring them to see their differences and find solutions without hurting each other ? Sometimes I also encountered difficultemployees who seemed to feel miserable whatever I did for them . Life has never been easy , but I have learning the ropes along the way. The essential principle is to treat the employees sincerely, appreciate their contributions to the company and reward them according. My employees are happy to have me as their boss, and are offering me all the assistance they could . They have great enthusiasm for their word and have contributed significantly to the company's development.。

In fact, it was one of the most beautiful days James could ever remember. He went to work as usual in downtown Washington, DC and everything seemed normal. However, during his 9:00 meeting, something strange happened. The world as he knew it changed forever.Shortly after 9:30, the entire building shook. James and his coworkers all looked around at each other in nervous wonder. Instantly, the sirens began—police cars, ambulances, fire engines. Itseemed to be a never-ending parade of emergency vehicles speeding by his building. You see, James works less than a mile from the Pentagon and the day was September 11, 2001.Once he found out what happened, James left the building and went out to the streets, along with the rest of the city. Thousands of people were walking through the streets in a haze of disbelief and fear. By this point, everyone had also heard about the World Trade Center in New York and there was a rumor of yet another missing airplane that was headed to Washington. James looked right and saw the Capitol Building. He looked left and saw the Washington Monument and the White House. No place seemed safe.The subway stopped running and automobile traffic was at a total standstill. There was essentially no way out of the city.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.NASA Next Giant LeapA)It was 45 years ago that Neil Armstrong took the small step onto the surface of the moon that changed the course of history. The years that followed saw a Space Age of scientific, technological and human research, on which we have built the modern era. Starting from the moon, we will move deeper into the solar system. The Apollo missions cleared a path for human exploration to the moon. Today we are extending that path to near-Earth asteroids(小行星), Mars and beyond.B)We are building on the Apollo program accomplishments to test and fly novel(新的), cutting-edge(尖端) technologies today for tomorrow missions. As we develop and test the newtools of 21st century spaceflight on the ourneyo Mars, we once again will change the course of history.C)The path to Mars begins with research on Earth and extends beyond its bounds, aboard the orbiting laboratory of the International Space Station, with our international partners. Some 250 miles above our heads, astronauts are conducting hundreds of experiments not possible on Earth, teaching us how humans can live, work and thrive(长得健壮) for longer periods in space.D)To help this nation send humans to deep space and return them to Earth safely, engineers across the country are developing a new space transportation tool that can travel far beyond our home planet. The Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) heavy-lift rocket will be the most advanced space vehicles ever built. Together, they will take us farther into the solar system than humans have ever traveled. They are our spaceship to Mars and beyond.E)As we turn our eyes toward Mars, we are designing missions to take us to a roving ground?around the moon called cis-lunar(月球周围) space, where some of the very building blocks of the solar system can be explored.F)Near-Earth asteroids provide a unique opportunity we need for future human missions to Mars. Around 2019, we launch a robotic mission to reach a near-Earth asteroid. The spacecraft either will capture an entire asteroid or take a part off a much larger asteroid, then redirect the asteroid mass to a stable orbit(轨道) around the moon. Such missions will provide important information about the space to safely send humans to Mars.G)The new technologies we test by sending astronauts to study the asteroids in the cis-lunar space will make important advances to safely send humans to Mars. This includes tools like Solar Electric Propulsion, a highly efficient way to help us transport large objects and heavy cargo to support future Mars missions. NASA will continue to make significant investments in new technologies vital to achieving exploration goals. This includes advancements in entry, descent and landing technologies such as ow Density Supersonic Decelerators.H)Sending humans to deep space around the moon also will help advance techniques for space operations on and around Mars and its moons. The space around our moon is different than low-Earth orbit but very similar to what a spacecraft will experience on the trip to and from Mars. For instance, solar and cosmic radiation is intense. We also can use cis-lunar space to begin practicing activities in deep space, like spacewalks, and learn to cope with delays in communication with Earth because of the distance.I)Mars calls for us to explore. Missions to Mars could answer some of the fundamental questions of humanity: Does life exist beyond Earth? Could humans live on Mars in the future? J)The journey to answer these questions has risks, but the rewards for humanity are worth it. In our lifetime, NASA and the world will take the next giant leap to explore the red planet.______11.Preparation for the journey to Mars can start from a place near Earth.______12.People from different countries contribute to the exploration of Mars in one way or another.______13.Great benefits will be gained from missions to Mars.______14. A number of new technologies will be needed to send human beings to Mars.______15Despite the risks, it is worthwhile to take this great leap to explore Mars.______16.We are now standing on a new horizon, ready to take the next giant leap.______17.If we want to travel to Mars, a more powerful form of transportation is needed.______18.The cis-lunar space will serve as a genuine training ground.______19.New missions near Earth will provide new information before we really send a human being onto Mars.______20.The Apollo program has provided a strong base for our future explorations.Section CDirections: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneBelieve it or not, there is a whole generation of young people who would love to own a personal airplane but who have little or no interest in learning to fly. To satisfy demand from this new kind of traveler, futurists dream of building airplanes that will fly themselves with minimal input from their occupants(用户). Rather than planning a flight, checking weather and attending to all the other duties of pilot-in-command, the operators of these future aircrafts will simply hop in the front seat, press a few buttons (or merely speak to the flight computer) to input the desired destination and then kick back while the virtual(虚拟的) pilot does all the flying.It hard to imagine what level of understanding of aerodynamics(空气动力学) or aviation rules and regulations the operator of such a futuristic airplane would be required to possess, but for this concept to work the answer quite probably would have to be very little to none. After all, a 損ilot?who is so far removed from the decision-making processes and the actual hands-on flying of the airplane shouldn抰be depended on to take over in an emergency. Instead, these future general aviation airplanes will be little more than passenger-carrying UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle[无人驾驶航空器]).In such cases, trained pilots on the ground could be given access to the airplane controls through a secure datalink(数据链) connection, enabling the remote operator to take over ?for a fee, of course. It similar to a concept now being debated in the airline world, where future Boeing and Airbus jetliners would have only one pilot physically on board the airplane with ground-based copilots available to step in as needed.We may not like the idea, but as we are seen in the UAV world, such operations are already possible. As the technology evolves and matures to enable airplanes to fly and land automatically without any help from humans, there no reason why airplane manufacturers (制造商) 20 years from now might not start offering a cockpit as optional equipment.21.What do futurists dream of?A) Owning a personal airplane. B) Attending to the duties of a pilot.C) Making planes with automatic piloting. D) Flying an airplane by themselves.22.What is the main characteristic of the new kind of traveler?A) They have considerable interest in learning to fly.B) They like owning and flying a personal airplane.C) They like to speak to the flight computer.D) They want to fly an airplane with minimal efforts.23.Which of the following is true of the virtual pilot on such futuristic airplanes?A) It is not as good as a human pilot. B) It knows everything about aerodynamics.C) It can easily replace a human pilot.D) It can take over in times of emergency.24.It is still necessary for human pilots on the ground to control such a plane because ______.A) such a plane is no more than an unmanned aerial vehicleB) the virtual pilot cannot handle an emergencyC) human pilots can make more money for thisD) there is a datalink connection to the controls25.Which of the following can serve as a proper title for the passage?A) The New Kind of Traveler C) The Virtual PilotB) The Fully Automated Airplane D) The Removed Human PilotPassage TwoNASA is now trying to make a spaceship that is much better than other ships.If we look at the things we need for our super spaceship, there seems to be one that is the most important. The spacecraft has to be as light as it can be. Weight costs money!A new discovery might allow spacecraft to be lighter. Imagine something that is stronger than steel but also weighs less. A new material called arbon nanotube?碳纳米管) might be the answer to the weight problem of building a super spaceship. This material is 600 times stronger than steel.One of the big problems with space travel is the radiation that in space. On Earth, our atmosphere protects us from radiation. In space, however, astronauts need protection against harmful rays.You might think that the metal on a spaceship is the answer. But, metals are the worst for shielding against very dangerous space rays. These rays are made of little pieces called ions(离子). When the ions hit metals at very high speeds, they can break an atom and cause another type of ray to form. These new rays can be worse than the radiation the metal skins were supposed to stop.You see why it is so important to block out these rays.But, we could use carbon nanotubes to make the skins of spacecraft. Nanotubes look a little like chicken wire that is too small to see.Things that are light in weight seem to work the best against these ions. When the rays hit lighter things, very little new radiation is made. The rays are stopped outside the spacecraft and new rays aren’t made.In addition, our super spaceship needs to be able to repair itself. This might really be possible. Humans can feel the smallest pinpricks(针刺) because of tiny sensors that send signals to our brains. Tiny sensors like ours could be built in the new ships. Each sensor could send messages to the computer rain?of the spacecraft. If something needed to be fixed, the computer could tell the ship to do it.Just as amazing as a car would be to someone 200 years ago, our nanotube spaceship might seem to us. We might actually make the spacecraft of tomorrow, using the technology of today.26.What is NASA trying to do?A) To make carbon nanotubes. B) To protect astronauts from ions.C) To make a new discovery.D) To build a super spaceship.27.Carbon nanotubes could be used to make the skins of spacecraft because ______.A) they are much lighter than metalB) they are 600 times stronger than steelC) they can shield the spacecraft from radiationD) they can break ions in space rays28.What will happen when ions hit the metal on a spaceship?A) Some worse radiation will be produced.B) All radiation will be blocked out.C) The metal on the spaceship will break up.D) The ions will move at high speeds.29.Tiny sensors will be built into the new spaceship so that ______.A) the computer brain can feel the smallest pinpricksB) the spaceship can have human sensationsC) the sensors can send signals to the spaceshipD) the spaceship will be capable of repairing itself30.What is the passage mainly about?A) How to build a future spaceship.B) How to make use of carbon nanotubes.C) How to protect astronauts in space.D) How to block out radiation.Part III TranslationDirections: Translate the passage from Chinese into English.周六，在戈壁滩发射基地——甘肃省酒泉卫星发射中心，神舟九号飞船载着中国第一位女宇航员升空。

1.In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, led his Grand Army into Russia. He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland. He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city. But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow -- the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.?In 1941, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, launched an attack against the Soviet Union, as Russia then was called. Hitler's military might was unequaled. His war machine had mowed down resistance in most of Europe. Hitler expected a short campaign but, like Napoleon before him, was taught a painful lesson. The Russian winter again came to the aid of the Soviet soldiers.?2.Two of the most frustrating things about driving a car are getting lost and getting stuck in traffic. While the computer revolution is unlikely to cure these problems, it will have a positive impact. Sensors in your car tuned to radio signals from orbiting satellites can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn of traffic jams. We already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System. They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet. At any given time, there are several GPS satellites orbiting overhead at a distance of about 11,000 miles. Each satellite contains four "atomic clocks," which vibrate at a precise frequency,according to the laws of the quantum theory.?As a satellite passes overhead, it sends out a radio signal that can be detected by a receiver in a car's computer. The car's computer can then calculate how far the satellite is by measuring how long it took for the signal to arrive. Since the speed of light is well known, any delay in receiving the satellite's signal can be converted into a distance.3. Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippings on us?Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he'd be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the interview with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered?The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer.4.Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), founded in 1971. This week, Browderand Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from postelection Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization the unimpeded flows of capital, laborand technology across national borders is both welcome and unstoppable. They see the world increasingly as one vast, interconnected marketplace in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and services.?5.I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness. There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes. His voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger; his smile was benign. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail; he aroused your instincts of protection.

Each year, those taking part spend five days there networking and discussing a variety of issues such as the global supply of oil, world economic growth and environmental problems.Davos Men share the belief that globalization is both welcome and unstoppable. They would like to see national boundaries vanish so as to facilitate their global operations. Some people say that this international perspective is a minority elitist position not shared by the majority of people.Others, however, argue that endorsing a global outlook does notmean sweeping aside one’s patriotic feelings or erasing one’s national identity. The question, perhap is whether it is possible to strike a balance between bing global and being local.多尔蒂先生Mr. Doherty and his family are currently engaged in getting the autumn harvest in on the farm.菲尔已三个Having been cut of a job/Not having had a job for 3months, Phil is getting increasingly desperate.既然已证实Since the chemical plant was identified as the source of solution, the village neighborhood committee decided to close it down at the cost of 100 jobs.研究表明大气The research shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are closely correlated with global temperatures.最近公共汽车The frequency of the bus service has been improved from 15 to 12 minutes recently.那位跳水运动员The diver stood on the edge of the diving board, poised to jump at the signal from the coach.尽管在此次紧急迫降Despite the inadequate length of the airstrip in this emergency landing, the veteran pilot managed to stop the plane after taxiing for only a short while.要是我事先If I had known beforehand that you would bring so many friends home, I would have made better preparations.
