2007年全国普通高等学校招生统一考试(上海卷)英语试卷

我是沐浴着党的阳光,在党的教育下成长起来的.在成长的历程中,我深深感受到在党的领导下,在全国人民的共同的努力下,祖国所谱写出的一曲曲绚丽的华章。

我生长在一个普通的农民家庭，我的父亲是一个敬党爱党的好工人，从小父亲就给我讲党的历史，党的纪律，还教我唱党歌。

父亲告诉我：今天的幸福生活来之不易，是无数的先烈用生命换来的。

中国共产党领导人民推翻三座大山，建立了新中国，领导人民走向富强。

使我深深体会到“没有共产党就没有新中国”。

XX年X月我刚满七岁就上了XX小学，从此我从幼稚玩童迈入了知识的殿堂，走出了人生道路的关键的第一步，在那里受到正规的教育，老师不但讲授文化知识，而且还谆谆教导我要从小立志刻苦学习，成为德才兼备的人，长大为国效力。

在小学到初中的学校教育中，不仅使我学到了文化知识，而且初步了解了我国悠久的历史和现阶段的基本国情，初步接受了共产主义思想教育，伴随着“我们是共产主义～人……”这首优美的少年先锋队队歌，小学一年级，我第一次庄严地举起了右手，光荣地加入了中国少先队。

从小学一年级起就当上了班长，一干就是五年。

在老师的帮助下，和同学们一起勤奋学习积极参加学校的各项有益的活动，以优异的成绩读完了小学。

XX年我考进了XX中学，在这个陌生的环境下，我决心不辜负父母的期望和自己曾付出的努力，我更加应该严格要求自己：学习上,一丝不苟；生活中，和同学们打成一片,成为他们的知心朋友，互帮互助，共同进步；工作中，认真负责，是老师的好助手。

在初中二年级终于盼来了期待已久的入团宣誓！从此我时时处处严格要求自己，在各方面起模范带头作用，曾多次被评为三好学生和优秀团员。

我自觉接受马列主义毛泽东思想教育，带领全班同学参加各种有意义的活动，不仅丰富了同学们的业余文化生活，而且使全班同学紧密地团结在一起，共同进步。

我在团里接受党的教育，不断提高自己，同时也渴望着，终有一天可以加入中国共产党。

在XX年的夏天我以优异中考成绩被保送进入该中学高中部，熟悉的学校却有着新的环境，那时的我对生活充满了无比的希望，学习劲头十足，精力充沛，学习成绩一年比一年优秀。

The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers in your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you‟ve heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Karen Smart has been a journalist reporting wars for several years now. Why does she do it? “Well,” she said, “It isn‟t easy to say. But I suppose it‟s the excitement of being so close to danger. It‟s like going to see a horror movie. You are frightened, but at the same time it gives you excitement.” Reporters try to get as close to the battle as they can. But it can be very dangerous. Recently Karen herself was injured. “It was very strange really,” she said. “We were just getting ready to record an interview, when a bomb landed on the house next to us. The whole house exploded. There was a terrific noise and the next moment I was lying on the ground. Luckily nobody was killed in that incident. ” Karen spent two days in hospital, but a month later, she was back. “While I was waiting for the ambulance, ”she said, “I can remember thinking: …What am I doing here?I must be mad.‟But after a while , that feeling started to disappear. And I couldn‟t wait to get back to the war.”Q: 11. Why does Karen like her job?12. What happened in a bomb explosion?13. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 14 through 14 are based on the following passage.Now it‟s eight o‟clock, time for the morning news.Internet use continues to increase in the United States. According to a new study by American Life Project, fifty two percent of rural residents now have Internet access. That‟s an increase of eleven percent since 2000. Rural residents are still behind the urban residents, however. Sixty seven percent of urban residents use the Internet. Of those rural residents who are online, forty five percent say that they surf the Web daily. Only forty percent of urban residents use the Web that often. One big barrier for rural residents is the lack of choice among Internet providers. According to another survey, more than two million American children aged six to seventeen have their own personal websites. This figure, which represents ten percent of the twenty three million young people, who have Internet access from home, is rising rapidly. It is expected to jump to one in four kids by 2008. The survey also shows that boys are more likely than girls to have their own websites. Seventy six percent of kids with broad band Internet access at home say that their home connection is faster than the connection at school. Forty nine percent of kids say that they get too little time on line at school.Q: 14. What does the first survey mainly tell us?15: How many American children, aged six to seventeen , have their own websites?16. What has been found out about kids‟ use of the Internet?Part CLonger ConversationsDirections:In Part C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear the conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the words you‟ve heard. Write your answer in your answer sheet.Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hello. This is Garden Restaurant. Who‟s this speaking?W: Oh, hello. Do you have a table for a party of six for this Friday?M: At what time?W: Eight thirty.M: We‟ll be pretty busy on Friday night.

Thanks.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.W: Tell me, Peter. What makes Harrods so famous?M: Well, it‟s the biggest department store in the UK, and its Food Hall and Egyptian Hall are very famous.W: What is special about the Food Hall?M: It sells many different kinds of food. For example, it has two hundred and fifty kinds of cheese from all over the world.W: That‟s amazing. And why is the Egyptian Hall so famous?M: Well, when people see it, they feel they are in another world. It looks like anEgyptian Building from 4,000 years ago.W: Is it true that Harrods produces its own electricity?M: Yes, it does. Seventy percent. Enough for a small town.W: Really? Tell me, how many customers do you have on an average day?M: About thirty thousand people come on an average day.

ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also constant communication with people on the earth. 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress.45. A. tired B. asleep C. conscious D. busy46. A. So far B. After all C. However D. Therefore47. A. long B. fast C. dangerous D. direct48. A. fuel B. entertainment C. adjustment D. health49. A. shut up B. held up C. brought up D. picked up50. A. pleasing B. annoying C. common D. valuable51. A. noisy B. alone C. personal D. sociable52. A. emphasis B. conflict C. power D. pressure53. A. handle B. create C. affect D. investigate54. A. becoming B. choosing C. ordering D. promoting(B)One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole —such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum(课程) of the thorough teaching of English 57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able groups are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later.62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.55. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of56. A. errors B. situations C. systems D. methods57. A. vocabulary B. culture C. grammar D. literature58. A. wide B. similar C. separate D. unique59. A. kept out B. turned down C. held back D. left behind60. A. surprisingly B. individually C. equally D. hardly61. A. extra B. traditional C. basic D. regular62. A. Although B. Because C. Until D. Unless63. A. restored B. absorbed C. prohibited D. withdrawn64. A. wasting B. focusing C. exploiting D. sharingIV. Reading ComprehensionDirections： Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them mere are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one mat fits best according to me information given in me passage you have just read.(A)What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrion, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his careerHarrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream— as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy — working at one cool job.65. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.66. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavors each day67. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.68. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool Job(B)69. The Fresh Water series at 9 PM ________.A. explores the lakes, rivers and the creatures in themB. is devoted to the freshwater creatures in the worldC. explains the relationship among inhabitants on the earthD. focuses on the deepest river on the planet70. The phrase “stow away” most probably means “_________”.A. hide secretlyB. talk excitedlyC. operate easilyD. guide successfully71. A mystery story adapted from Agatha Christie’s novel will be shown on ______.A. BBC1B. BBC2C. ITV1D. Channel 4(C)Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or-3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation (通货膨胀), competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp”and the savings from not printing as many 2-or-3-cent stamps.“It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, says he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps.” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich — the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.72. The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp” is ______.A. to reduce the cost of printing 2-or-3-cent stampsB. to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailingC. to respond to the complaints about rising postal ratesD. to compete with online bill paying73. By saying “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp”, Mr. Saundersmeans that forever stamps ________.A. could be collected by one’s great-grandchildrenB. might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s handsC. might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathersD. could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later74. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.B. America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.C. The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.D. 2-or-3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.75. What can be concluded from the passage?A. With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.B. Postal workers will benefit most from the sales of forever stamps.C. The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.(D)The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companieswhich fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint.He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support.M int has committed around £500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.76. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _______.A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environmentC. for holding music performancesD. designed for disaster relief77. Mr. Dunlop established his business ______.A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the City’s administrationC. in partnership with a finance groupD. with the help of a Japanese architect78. It is implied in the passage that _______.A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.79. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB. some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC. an unusual success of a graduation projectD. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals(E)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musicianThere were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young.I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and thetalents of other students in our school.Yes. We ’ve done sucha poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven ’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven ’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn ’t make it in today ’s music industry, and that ’s a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what ’s on the radio.83 The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that ’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn ’t have a development section just isn ’t interesting to me.The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don ’t cover it unless it ’s a big name. new jazz musicians don ’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.第II卷宗（共45分）I.

During that time, I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.After less than a week, I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly —we were always suddenly out of something. (25)_______(wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly, I began observing her daily routine for two weeks. To my surprise, I found that she would pack a paper bag full of canned goods and head out every morning at about nine. Eventually, I decided to follow her and (26)_______ happened truly amazed me. She was taking the food to the refugee camp, in (27)______ she distributed it to children.I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area. The kids were very friendly with her and even looked up to her as if she were their own mother. Then it hit me —shy would she mot want to tell me about what she (28)_____(do)? Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop (29)_____(buy) the groceries if I found out?When she got home, I told her about my discovery. (30)_____ she could react, I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret (31)______ me. She told me that some of the children lived with an older lady in a shelter while others slept on the streets. For years, my mum has been helping out by giving them whatever food she could spare. I was so impressed by (32)_____ selfless she was.(B)Stress: Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are beginning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years, stress(33)______(regard) as a cause of a whole range of medical problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But like so many other things, it is only too much stress(34)______ does you harm. It is time you considered that if there were no stress in your life, you would achieve a little.

Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.What makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的) thinking. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52. A. contrary B. expectation C. degree D. extreme53. A. vice versa B. for example C. however D. otherwise54. A. outside B. inside C. below D. above55. A. replacing B. assessing C. managing D. encouraging56. A. refer B. contribute C. object D. apply57. A. agreement B. practice C. election D. impression58. A. bossy B. experienced C. western D. male59. A. asking B. training C. warning D. firing60. A. doubling B. maintaining C. reducing D. estimating61. A. honoured B. left C. crowded D. compared62. A. economically B. traditionally C. inadequately D. occasionally63. A. deny B. admit C. assume D. ensure64. A. virtual B. ineffective C. day-to-day D. on-the-scene65. A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractivenessSection BDirection：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she”in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem”gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness（B）Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions domake a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changingatmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Somecountries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the ParisAgreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just nowhow much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initialParis promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities underwater and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it ona voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies wil l use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal i nformation have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If p roperly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of thecountry’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any one time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up”escalators will be used for_________________.第II卷(共47分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

Why does she do it?“Well,” she said, “it isn’t easy to say, but I suppose it’s the excitement to have been so close to danger. It’s like going to see a horror movie. You are frightened, but at the same time it gives you excitement.”Reporters try to gets as close to the battle as they can, but it can be very dangerous. Recently, Karen herself was injured. “It was very strange really,” she said. “We were just getting ready to record an interview when a bomb landed on the house next to us. The whole house exploded. There was a terrific noise, and the next moment I was lying on the ground. ” Luckily nobody was killed in that incident. Karen spent two days in hospi tal, but a month later, she was back. “While I was waiting for the ambulance,” she said, “I can remember thinking: What am I doing here? I must be mad. But after a while, that feeling starts to disappear and I couldn’t wait to get back to the war.”Questions:11. Why does Karen like her job?12. What happened in the bomb explosion?13. What is the passage mainly about?Now it’s 8 o’clock, time for the morning news. Internet use continues to increase in the Unite States. According to a new study by American Life Project, 52% of rural residents now have Internet access. There’s an increase of 11% since 2000. Rural residents are still behind the urban residents, however. 67% of urban residents use the Internet.Of those rural residents who are online, 45% say that they surf the web daily. Only 40% of urban residents use the web that often. One big barrier for rural residents is the lack of choice among Internet providers.According to another survey, more than 2 million American children aged 6 to 17 have their own personal websites. This figure, which represents 10% of the 23 million young people who have Internet access from home, is rising rapidly. It is expected to jump to one in four kids by 2008. The survey also shows that boys are more likely than girls to have their own websites. 76% of kids with broadband Internet access at home say that their home connection is faster than their connection at school. 49% of kids say that they get too little time online at school.Questions:14. What does the first survey mainly tell us?15. How many American children aged 6-17 have their own websites?16. What has been found out about kids’ use of the Internet?Part CConversation 1--Hello. This is Garden Restaurant. Who’s it speaking?--Oh, hello. Do you have a table for a party of 6 for this Friday?--At what time?--8:30.--We are pretty busy on Friday night. I have a table for 9 o’clock, but not at 8:30.–9 o’clock will be fine. I just want to check something else. I have a friend from Italy. Have you got any Italian food?--No problem, ma’am. We have at least three Italian dishes on the menu.--That’s great.--Party of 6 for 9 o’clock. May I have you name, please?-- Jessica Blair. “Blair’’ is spelled as “B-L-A-I-R”.--OK. Could you leave us your telephone number please?–Yes. It’s 513-0318.–Fine. Thanks.Conversation 2–Tell me, Peter, what makes Harrods so famous?--Well, it’s the biggest department store in the UK. And its Food Hall and Egyptian Hall are very famous.--What is special about the Food Hall?--It sells many different kinds of food. For example, it has 250 kinds of cheese from all over the world.--That’s amazing. And why is the Egyptian Hall so famous?--Well, when people see it, they feel they are in another world. It looks like an Egyptian building from 4,000 years ago.–Is it true that Harrods produces its own electricity?–Yes, it does. 70%--enough for a small town.–Really? Tell me, how many customers do you have on an average day?–About 13,000 people come on an average day. But during the January sales, the number increases to 300,000 customers a day.–How much did they spend?--Well, on average, customers spend about 1.5 million pounds a day.
