In （7）addition ,there are words from Spanish in English and many American Indian words and names；（8）even some Chinese and Japanese words have found their way （9）into the English language.

As she waited for the （4）postman, the old lady （5）trembled with excitement because she was quite sure she would receive a lovely present. （6）After all, she thought, even if Myra paid little attention to her mother （7）at other times, today was a very special day.

Joe bought the fisherman a (14) few drinks, and finally said to(15) him, "You've been fishing outside here, haven't(16) you ? How many did you manage to catch(17) this morning, if I may ask(18)?""you are the eighth," the fisherman answered(19) merrily.Unit81. Complete the following passage with word chosen from the Words&Phrases to Drill box. Change the forms where necessary.As Christmas approached(1), I naturally began to wonder what present I might get. One day, I came upon(2)a bicyclewith ballon tires in a second-hand goods store and secretly wished my mother would somehow scrape together(3)the money to buy it for me. But I didn't really think our income could stretch to a present that cost something like(4) 15 dollars. And I wasn't bred to be so selfish as to rob my sister Doris of (5) her joy of getting the present she desired. A few days later, however, when I went into my mother's room in search of(6) a safety pin, I was astonished(7) to find the very bicycle I'd been admiring in the store. "My dream has come true(8)!" I exclaimed. "I'm the luckiest(9) boy alive!"The instant I came out of her room, however, I found a shadow hanging over my happiness. The fact that my mother did not reveal(10) the slightest hint of her intention to buy me this present indicated(11)that she wanted it to be a complete surprise that would add to my pleasure as well as hers on Christmas. Though I felt deep gratitude(12) to her, I would not be able to cry out my love spontaneously(13) from the heart at the critical(14) moment now that I knew her secret. I am a man with absolutely(15)no acting talent. I am not a man who can pretend. What could I do not to deny(16) her the joy of seeing me surprised and delighted?2 .Fill in the missing words:The whole family objected violently when I said that I was going to Europe over the Christmas holiday with a college friend of mine(1). Mother said that since there was going to be a family reunion, I really ought(2)to stay at home.although I always enjoyed these occasions, nobody(3) could persuade me to change my mind(4).A week before Christmas, my friend and I flew to Madrid and then(5)traveled by train through Spain, France and Germany. On(6) Christmas Eve we arrived at a small town in southern Germany and were amazed to find(7) so much activity in the town. The streets were crowded with people, and the shops were full(8) of all kinds of interesting things. We walked(9) around for hours and then just at(10) midnight we went to listen to Christmas songs sung by children around a brightly lit tree in the main square. We returned(11)to our hotel late that night, looking(12) forward to the next day and we planned to have Christmas dinner in(13) the best restaurant in town. However(14), int her morning the streets were deserted. To make matters worse, everything was closed uptight—even the stores. We searched in vain for(15)hours and finally had to return to our hotel feeling(16) unhappy and lonely. Our"feast" was a sack of fruit that(17) my friend had happened to buy the day before(18). Our thoughts sadly turned to home where(19), at that moment, our family must(20) have been wishing us a "Merry Christmas!"Unit 91.

Their conclusions(3)are that the planet Earth is unfit(4)for habitation because of its highly polluted(5)condition. For one thing, deadly(6) gases in the atmosphere(7) make it extremely(8) dangerous to breathe. For another(9) the water, also polluted, has become undrinkable. For these reasons, it would be difficult for anyone to survive(10)on Earth. Undoubtedly the flying saucer program will be set back(11) under these conditions, but the Venusian scientists are determined to proceed(12) with their exploration of the planet Earth.2 .Fill in the missing words:Some scientists think that man may not find life pleasant in the world of the future. Others think that he (1) may not be able to live in it(2) at all. Everyone must know that the world is in danger(3). Here is one example of the problem(4).

Finally, one of the girls made her way(4) to his seat and introduced herself to him; and he began to painfully(5)tell the story of his years in prison and separation from his wife. As the bus approached his hometown, he toldthe students that he had written to his wife, telling her that if she wanted to take him back(6), she should tie a yellow handkerchief on the big oak tree on the outskirts of the town as a sign. If there was no handkerchief, he would vanish(7) from her life and never trouble her again. When the bus pulled into (8) the town, he and the students watched anxiously for the yellow handkerchief. At last the students exclaimed(9) their congratulations to the man when, not one, but countless yellow handkerchiefs appeared on the oak tree.2 .Fill in the missing words:Ii still don't believe in ghosts even after my experience at the Rose Inn.

But some people get deep into debt. And critics say some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt.In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision (监督)of the credit card industry. Credit cards have been heavily marketed through the mail and at stores. They offer economic power at a price.In two thousand four, Americans had about eight hundred billion dollars in credit card debt. Now they owe about nine hundred sixty-eight billion. The average interest rate on those cards is currently thirteen and a half percent.Critics say banks made it too easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credits markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts.The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning.（199 words）6.What is a credit card?答案：a card which you can use to buy things and pay for it later7.What is NOT true about credit cards?答案：They can increase people's economic power.8.What is the average interest rate on credit cards in America?答案：13.50%te payments for credit cards can bring profit to _____.答案：banks10.According to the passage, who can reduce people's credit limits?答案：the governmentPassage 2Scientists in the United States have developed a method that may help to predict earthquakes earlier. They say it could give people who live in deadly earthquake areas enough warning to leave before an earthquake hits.Currently, the most modern systems for predicting earthquakes find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong earthquakes, the one that hit southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That earthquake killed sixty-nine thousand people.But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that new technology could measure very small changes in the Earth's surface. Their report was published this month in Nature magazine. Fenglin Niu is a seismologist（地震学家）with Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along California's San Andreas Fault（断层）, an area famous for its many earthquakes.The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure on the Earth's surface. The scientists say such changes are caused when rocks push together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, seismic（地震的）waves travel faster than usual through the rock. （203 words）11.The method developed by some scientists in the United States can be used to _______.答案:predict an earthquake12.Why did the earthquake which hit southwestern China in May cause so many deaths?答案：Both A and B.13.What is California's San Andreas Fault famous for?答案：Earthquakes14.The Nature magazine is about_________?答案：earthquake15.What is NOT true about the experiments done by Fenglin Niu and his team?答案：The electrical devices can measure changes in air pressure on the Earth'ssurface.第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）16.Don't push, let's get on the bus_____.答案：in turn17.They have done ____ work these days.答案：too much18.You _____ do that, if you don't want to.答案：needn't19.He has got a bad cold.

Just type PMFJI （= pardon me for jumping in）.Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location.You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF （= on the floor）,or LOL （= laughing out loud）,or combing the two into ROTFL （= rolling on the floor laughing）.And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG （= got to go）or TTYL （=talk to you later）.People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the “shift”key and capitals.Punctuation （标点）is going, too.4.Many people talk on the Internet ______.A.by sending short emailsB.by using a particular short form of EnglishC.by using peculiar English words and expressionsD.in a funny way5.In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet ______.A.you have to speak fast and fluentlyB.you should speak with wit and humorC.you have to express your ideas in a brief wayD.one should pay much attention to the accuracy of words6.If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L,it means______.A.the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fineB.you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New YorkC.you are talking to 17 girls who are from New YorkD.the person who you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl7.To save time on the Internet, ______.A.some people leave their letters in the dustbinB.some people never use “shift”in their writingC.many people leave the capital and punctuationD.people seldom use capital letters or punctuationCThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible months.It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals.Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals.They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years.Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed.As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future.They might cover five years or more.Life is not a static thing.We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.8.Our long-term goals mean a lot______.A.if we complete our short-range goalsB.if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC.if we write down the datesD.if we put forward some plans9.New short-term goals are build upon______.A.two yearsB.long-term goalsC.current activities D .the goals that have been completed10.When we complete each step of our goals, ______.Awe will win final successB.we are overwhelmedC.we should build up confidence of successD.we should strong desire for setting new goals四、翻译句子（每题5分, 共25分）1、接受这份工作就得经常在周末上班, 但约翰并不在意。
