You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic. One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. The Daughter of a Mechanic.B. A Girl and Her Father.C. A Girl and Her Geese .D. How to Teach Birds to Fly.2. Why did the girl decide to take the eggs home?A. Because she liked the eggs.B. Because she wanted to eat the eggs.C. Because her father asked her to do so.D. Because she knew that the mother goose will not come back.3. The baby geese naturally took _________ as their mother.A. the mother geeseB. the girlC. the first thing they touchD. the girl’s father4. What did the girl’s father do to help her?A. He assembled a small plane.B. He piloted the plane himself.C. He taught the geese how to fly.D. Both A & B.5. How did the young geese learn to fly?A. By following the girl in the plane.B. By themselves.C. By following the girl’s father.D. By staying in the plane.Passage 2People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence.The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C.

His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he wasalready the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" becausepeople told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.11. What did Gilbert’s father do for a living in Californi a?A. He was an artist.B. He was a basketball player.C. He was an actor.D. He was a football player.12. When did Gilbert become the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School?A. When he was 11.B. In 1984.C. When he was 14.D. As a junior in high school.13. Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors?A. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.D. Because his performance is disappointing in the season.14. Which of the following players did NOT help the Wizards make the playoffs in Gilbert’s second year?A. Gilbert Arenas.B. Gold State Warriors.C. Antawn Jamison.D. Larry Hughes.15. Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage?A. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 4Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess oranother guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.16. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________________.A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye17.

But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, theglass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool.11. Stuntmen are those who ___C___.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives12. Stuntmen earn their living by ____B__.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains13. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ___D___.A. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right14. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?BA. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.15. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman? AA. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.Passage 2Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also fide that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head to tail his little body wags his happiness.

The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face.Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home ─alone. The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual.

This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.21. The key point of the passage is that __B____.A. the cause of air pollution is people。

ReadingA“Mom, I can’t wait to own a fast Porsche(保时捷),〞 said sixteen-year-old Steve, as he drove our old family car home after he passed his driving test. “A Porsche is expensive,〞 I replied, “You will have to work hard to earn one.〞Over the next several years, Steve tried his best to realize the goal. After high school, he won a scholarship(奖学金)to study at a famous university and graduated with honors. Later he earned an MBA degree and got a job in a large company. Then he got married.One day in 2021 his dad and I visited them on invitation. After a round of hugs, Steve asked me to stand in front of the garage and opened the door.“What a beautiful car!〞 I said in amazement. Steve smiled with tears of happiness in his eyes. “Mom, remember I once said I wanted to own a fast Porsche? Let me take you for a ride and show you what this car can do. I’ll take Dad later.〞 We climbed onto the sports car, and then he started the car. We sped up along a wide road, shot up a long bridge and performed a fast turn before we headed for home.“Wow! That was an exciting ride!〞 I said, as I climbed out of the comfortable seat. “This car is better than all my expectations,〞 Steve said in happiness.Months later, during another visit, I was admiring his perfect Porsche in the garage when he said that he had decided to sell it. I was unprepared for it and he explained that he had discovered that wanting a Porsche was more fun than having one.1. The son’s doing well in school was mainly because of_______.A. the aim to go abroad in the futureB. the duty to support the familyC. the goal of owning a fast PorscheD. the decision to live on his own2.

Which of the following can be used as the title of the text?A. Wanting is more fun than having.B. Patience results in success.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. All good things come to an end.BTravel has become part of our lives. And more and more of us have come to know the importance of travel through our own experiences. Travelling broadens our mind. We may get knowledge from books, but it is limited in real life. To make up for this disadvantage, we should travel to see things which can not be found in books. To our surprise,the longer we travel, the more we will treasure our life.My travel to Xishuangbanna, a place of interest in Yunnan, is a good example in point. The journey made me enrich my knowledge, especially geographical learning. This trip provided me with the chance to taste food cooked by people of the minority 〔少数民族〕, and try on their clothes that I otherwise could not have. By making friends with people there, I came to know that boys of this minority should be, at an early age, sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism(佛教). That is why we often notice many teenagers wearing the clothes of a monk in public. If it had not been for the travel to Xishuangbanna , I would not have known a lot about customs practiced in other parts of China.In view of my experience in Xishuangbanna , I firmly believe that travel is one of the best ways to broaden our minds. It enriches our knowledge so that we come back home with a broader mind.Judging from the above-mentioned facts, how can we ignore the advantages brought by travelling?1. The underlined word “broaden〞 in th e first paragraph means ______•A. enlargeB. changeC. reduceD. disturb2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Travel has become part of our life.B. Travelling makes us happy.C. Travel gives us the knowledge we can’t know in books.D. People haven’t realized the importance of travelling.3. According to the passage, which is NOT the advantage of travelling?A. It gives us the chance of leaving our work.B. It broadens our mind.C. It expands our knowledge.D. It gives us the chance of knowing the customs.4. Why do many teenagers wear the clothes of a monk in public?A. Because monks are respected by all the teenagers.B. Because they should be sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism.C. Because their school life is mainly in the temple.D. Because most of them will live in the temple for some time.5. What is the writer’s attitude towards travelling?A. disappointedB. worriedC. puzzledD. supportiveCA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated bydifferent skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.1. The first paragraph tells us that _______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other2. In a more traditional society, old people ________.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children3. In American society young people ________.A. do not need to find jobsB. marry people younger than themC. have better education than their parentsD. leave home at an early age4. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.5. The main idea of the passage is ______.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existsD. how we can reduce the generation gapDAs early as the second half of the 18th century, English writers began to witness and lament the gradual disappearance of the countryside. Now, over two hundred years later, the matter is not only of poetical interest but a matter of great urgency.The problems of ecology〔生态学〕 are among our greatest problems and there’s a lot of talk about pollution, conservational preservation. It seems there’s a lot of concern, but in spite of this there are times when we take the most incredible decisions. For example, Camley Council have chosen Beckley Field as the site for a multi-storey car park.Beckley Field is where the children play. I myself used to play there. You can go for a walk there, sit under the trees, exercise the dog. It is surrounded by new Camley, with the housing estate on one side, the new shopping center on another two, and Camley School about two hundred yards away on the fourth side.The shopping center is used by almost everyone in Camley, and of course they need somewhere to park their cars. There are three or four restaurants, too, and custom is beginning to come from other nearby towns. A car park would increase custom enormously, both at the shops and at the restaurants. So one can quite understand the Council’s wish to make use of Beckley Field. Where else could youput a car park?But why must we lose one of the last remaining green areas that we have in the town?1. According to the passage, people are more concerned about the following problemsexcept ___________.A. pollutionB. populationC. conservationD. preservation2. According to the author, the disappearance of the countryside is ___________.A. poetically interestingB. gradualC. very urgentD. a threat3. Camley Council decided to build a car park in ______________.A. CamleyB. Beckley FieldC. Camley SchoolD. the housing estate4. A car park is to be built for____________.A. more and more customers at the restaurantsB. more and more customers at the shopping centerC. people coming from other placesD. more and more customers at the shopping center as well as at the restaurants5. What is the author’s a ttitude towards the building of the car park in Camley?A. The author is strongly against it.B. The author is in favor of it.C. The author is concerned with it.D. The author is worried about it.III.ClozePassage AOne day, when I was 15 years old, I was walking in a very dark park and found an old bottle on my way. To my 1 , there was a fairy inside.

And that is what a goal is for—to let us 12 in the direction(方向)we have chosen; 13 , to make us dig!Not every goal will be fully 14 . Not every job will end 15 . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be 16 . But when you fail to reach your 17 , perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! 18 at the wonderful things 19 I have tried to do something!〞It is in the digging that life is lived.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Wall Street is the name of a street in New York and very famous in the wholeworld. It is the financial center of the U.S.A, exerting a significant influenceupon the world ’ s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard (奇才) of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all hismoney. By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 milliondollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually,she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean thatwhen her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor ’ s bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital.Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his motherwould not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off theboy’ s leg in her sitting room. It ’ s incredible, isn ’ t it?31.Wall Street is _______.A.the name of Chinatown in New YorkB.the nickname of New YorkC.the financial center of AmericaD.32.Hetty Green was nicknamed the Wizard of Wall Street because she _______.A.made a great fortune with sharesB.inherited a large sum of money from her fatherC.built up a large company on sharesD.was very strange and cruel33.The underlined word“ mean” in the second paragraph probably can be replaced by______.A. sadB. cruelC. disappointedD. ungenerous34.When her son broke his leg, Hetty Green _______.A.sent him to a large hospitalB.sent for a doctor at onceC.didn ’ t pay the bill for the doctorD.took him to a charity hospital35.Which of the following is true according to the passage?B.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across thesurface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals ” — perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars — are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet ’ s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known todevelop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted byspacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculationcontinued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite (陨石) , consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than threebillion years ago.36. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent lifeon Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.37.The “canals ” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface38.What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.39. Howis the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars? A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.40. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of lifeon Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particularcolors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easilycatch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of thecolor of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe,locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests withdifferent colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies.So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the mainuse of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because theyhave the color much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seascan send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.41.This passage mainly talks about ______.A.the change of color in locustsB.the protective coloration of animals and pestsC.how a certain sea fish protects itselfD.animals or pests can dye themselves different colors42.Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because ______.A.they are powerful enoughB.they are dangerous to their enemiesC.they take on the same colors as cropsD.they fly extraordinarily fast43. The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because______.A. birds take their rest when night comesB. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it’ s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness44.Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because ______.A.they fear other beastsB.they prefer brown or grey colorsC.they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD.the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because ______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. it can swim much faster than any other fishC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 4High school dropouts(辍学者)earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out(不及格).Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’ t cut it.They are lazy , and perhaps not two bright . So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“ The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident thatthey could have graduated from high school. ” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half ofAfrican-American and Hispanic (美籍西班牙的) student will receive a diploma , and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So , if failing grades don ’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again , John Bridgeland: “ The most dependable finding was that they were bored. ” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren ’t inspired or motivated. They didn ’ t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their careeraspirations. ”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen,which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US,only one state ,New Mexico , has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high schooluntil they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions,another researcher , says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way tokeep more kids in school.“ As these dropouts look back , they realize they ’ ve made a mistake. And anythingthat sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure. ”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies tostay in school misses the point - the need for reform. It's been called for to reinventhigh school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.46. Most high school students drop out of school because __.A. they have failing gradesB. they take no interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent47. According to the passage , which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A. New HampshireB. UtahC. New MexicoD. The District of Columbia48. The underlined words“stick it out” probably means“__” .A. complete schoolingB. solve the problemC. love having classesD. believe in themselves49.In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to_________.A.analyze the reason why students quit schoolB.suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC.raise awareness of reforming high school educationD.wish to make laws to guarantee no education50. From the passage,we can infer the following EXCEPT that_.A. the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptableB. on average dropouts cannot get good jobsC. classes don't appeal to dropoutsD. about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and SpanishPassage 5People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem.In 1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the softlimestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying theproblem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion (侵害) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts havestudied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people , forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases , this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make thewaves and currents go further along the coast,shifting the problem from one areato another. The danger is likely to continue,they say,until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile , if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future,apply to a house agent in oneof the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for aknockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.51. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A. The rising of the sea level.B. The experts’ lack of knowledge.C. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.D. The disappearance of hotels,houses and gardens.52. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England.A. will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB. has now become a threat to the local residentsC. can bestopped if proper measures are taken D. is quickly changing themap of England53. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can.A. warn people whose homes are in dangerB. provide an effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. lead to its eventual solution54.It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because________.A.house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB.it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasC.the government is too slow in taking actionD.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents55. According to the author , when buying a house along the south coast of England ,people should ________________.A. take the quality of the house into considerationB. guard against being cheated by the house agentC. examine the house carefully before making a decisionD. be aware of the potential danger involvedPassage 6Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards adegree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists ofthirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student willprobably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for astudent to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. Allthis imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this somestudents still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work ofmaintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academicauthorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, bycheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A studentwho has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it willbe of benefit to him later in his career.56. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.A. 36B. 20C. 12D. 1557.According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ________.A.to live in a different universityB.to get two degrees from two different universitiesC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to take a particular course in a different university58. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ________.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority59. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ________.A. they hate the constant pressure strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid60.The student organizations seem, to be effective in ________.A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD.keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesIII.Vocabulary and Structure 61.I prefer to read ______ idle.A. to sitB. to sittingC. than to sitD. rather than sit62.

But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs. For instance, the bride and groom often exchange rings at the ceremony. The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, and are exchanged in the middle of the ceremony. Today, the ring shows the couple’s love for one another.After the ceremony, the couple is often showered with handfuls of uncooked rice by friends and family. Rice, as we know, shows productivity and harvest. And then, there is often a party, where the food is so plentiful that it almost takes the attention away from the people. Soon the bride stands in the center of the room, often on a chair, and throws her flowers to the unmarried women at the party. Tradition says that whoever catches the flowers will be the next bride. Some women eagerly try to catch the flower; others shy away.And then it is time for the bride and groom to set off the tradition of a honeymoon, a trip after the wedding. The trip nowadays varies greatly by wealth, time and preference. Sometimes the couple will spend a single night at a nearby hotel; or they may spend two weeks at a faraway foreign city as well.1.

Many countries fought for the power and riches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas which demanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possibly because of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many men of genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however, produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, and scientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Age of Genius", three famous painters started their work.They were Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings but also for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting is the "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was an artist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked with other forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced pictures out of many different actions.101. Another name for the 16th century is the ________.A. Classical AgeB. Middle AgesC. "Age of Genius"D. Age of Renaissance102. To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and fewin other is __________.A. an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC. not importantD. unnecessary103. Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraph of the passage?A. Geniuses are born talented.B. Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C. Fighting for the riches of the newly - discovered Americas produced geniuses.D. A period during which new ideas were replacing older ideas might produce geniuses.104. _________ is famous for his paintings and for his talent in science.A. RaphaelB. Leonardo da VinciC. MichelangeloD. Mona Lisa105. Michelangelo is known for __________.A. his Mona LisaB. his paintings in Sistine ChapelC. his well-balanced picturesD. his contributions to scienceSometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Wantmore information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions(预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computernewspaper may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry. 106. The best title for this passage is_______.A. Computer Newspapers are Well LikedB. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC. Newspapers Are out of FashionD. New Communications Technology107. It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers, because__ .A. it is technologically impossible nowB. computer newspapers are too expensiveC. there is strong resistance from both the general population andprofessional journalistsD. traditional newspapers are easy to read108. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapersB. They are very convenient to useC. You can get more information from them quicklyD. You can easily save information for future use109. Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers, because_______.A. they don’t know how to use computersB. they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC. they think the new technology is badD. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110. We can infer from the passage that_______.A. all technological changes are goodB. all technologies will eventually replace old onesC. new technologies will eventually replace old onesD. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century Passage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. A youngster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became so afraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But the criticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it’s like being in a car without brakes(刹车). The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sen ds a double message. He is also saying : “I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t want you to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy(隐私权)and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels that she must read her daughter’s diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels(毛巾) from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him hi s due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.111.According to the passage, parents owe their children the following things except______.A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. information about their body112. The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are incharge of themselves because_________.A.they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB.there is no one to guide and discipline themC.they are afraid of being left aloneD.there is no one to ask for help when in trouble.113.Which of the following ways is advised for parents to show love to their children?A. Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask forB. Never embracing older childrenC. Refusing something to the childrenD. Never criticizing children.114.The word “due” in the last paragraph means_________.A. something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB. reasonable explanations or plansC. what must be given to someone because it is right or wrongD. the money to be paid115.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own livesat an early age.B. Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C. Children shouldn’t be corrected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D. It is better to compare a youngster to his bright brothers becauseit makes him try harder.Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in fro nt of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worseyou’ll be wasting a powerful tool —the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this. 116. The main idea of the text is that ________ .A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB. it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD. the camera has made film making easy and possible117. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage?A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.118. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?A. It can move easily.B. It can make small things look larger.C. It can show things in the future.D. It can give us a scene of realism.119. In what way are plays different from film?A. Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.B. Films can show the past whi le plays can’t.C. Films change scenes while plays don’t.D. Film audience can move while play audience can’t.120. A suitable title for this text is _______.A. Stage Plays and FilmB. The Powerful CameraC. Fewer Plays, More FilmsD. Less Waste, More FreedomPassage3If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd(奇数) one. B esides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亚).The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them and to avoid embarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.121.

One day when Galileo was a young man of eighteen, he was in the great church of the city of Pisa where he lived. He was watching the motion of a light. He saw that as the light moved forward and back on its chain, it seemed to take the same time between turns, however far it went. He wanted to make sure whether he was right. He put his pulse rate, he measured the motion of the light as it went forward and back on its chain.He was right. He had the proof. He could prove that the time was the same, however short or long the journey of the light through the air was. Galileo had made a great discovery about the motion of a pendulum.

They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比较)them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.1.Satellites travel _____________.A in spaceB in the atmosphereC above the groundD above space2.Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere?

Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a lessdramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction. Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.1. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To look back to the early days of computers.B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.2. According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might_____A. lead us into the post-war eraB. be quite widespreadC. take controlD. take over routine tasks3. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to_____A. be reasonably skeptical about themB. check all their answersC. substitute them for basic thinkingD. use them for business purposes only4. An “internal computer” is_____A. a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problemsB. a person's store of knowledge and the ability to process itC. the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD. a computer from the post-war era which isvery reliable5. The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is_____A. challengingB. psychologicalC. dramaticD. malfunctioningIV.

Reports immediately surfaced that Diana had died after a high-speed race away from paparazzi in hot pursuit. Some witnesses claimed that a cameraperson on a motorbike had cut in front of the speeding Mercedes to slow it down, resulting in the tragedy. Others contended that several paparazzi descended on the wreck snapping pictures rather than giving assistance to the victims. Several had their cameras confiscated, and five were arrested by Paris police for failure to offer aid.∙According to the witnesses, what’s the reason for the car crash?∙A) It was a late night.∙B) The hot pursuit of paparazzi.∙C) The Mercedes was too fast.∙D) Several paparazzi snapped pictures∙Where did the accident happen?∙A) London B) Germany.∙C) Paris.

Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up. Another story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill. The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it. But the train just kept pulling, all the while saying, ―I think I can, I think I can.‖ At last, the train was over the top of the hill. ―I thought I could, I thought I could,‖ chugged the happy little train.∙Compassion may be the queen of American virtues. The story of ―The Good Samaritan‖ from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need.Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In fall 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida returned the favor. In less dramatic ways, millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindnesses shown to them.∙Great moral stories can build character.

As soon as they left home, the father arranged for an adequate income to be provided for 4 of them, but insisted that apart from this they were to be financially self-supporting.
