This problem results from various reasons.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are running out of our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.In my opinion, I think we should take measures to control the increase of population, and every oneof us should try his best to protect our environment. If all of us can do our part, I am sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context “Can you take me golfing sometime?” my 13-year-old son asked. I had a bathroom to remodel (改建). I wanted to say no. “Sure,” I said. “What did you have in mind?” “Well, maybe you could 36 Jack and me after school on Friday and t ake us out to Oakway.” “Sounds good.”Friday came. In front of the school, Ryan and Jack piled into the car. Ryan looked 37 . “What’s with the golf hat, Dad?” he asked. It was, I thought, a silly question, like asking a 38 : “What’s with the swim fins (脚蹼)?” “Well, I thought we were going to play some golf.”Thirteen years of parenting flashed before my eyes. But there was a 39 pause. “Uh, you’re going, too?” he asked. Suddenly, I realized that I hadn’t been invited. All these memories sped by in about two seconds, 40 me about three seconds to reply. I had to say something. I wanted to say this: “How could you do this to me? We have always been a team.” But I said: “Me? __41 ? No. You know I’m too busy now.”We drove on in silence for a few moments. “So, how are you planning to42 this?”I asked. “Uh, could you lend me $7?” Oh, I got it. He didn’t want me, but he’d43 take my money. “No problem,” I said.I dropped them off, 44 them luck and headed for home. Life would never be the same. I walked in the door. “What are you doing home?” my wife asked. “I wasn’t invited,” I replied. Another strange pause came. Then my wife laughed. Out loud. At first I was hurt. Then I, too, laughed. I went back to the bathroom remodel and realized that this is what life is all about: __45 .A few hours later, I heard Ryan walk in the front door. “Dad,” he said. “My game stinks (糟透了). Can you take me golfing sometime? I need some help.” I wanted to46 him and shout: “I’m still needed!” 47 , I got one of those serious-dad looks on my face and said:“Sure,Ryan, anytime.”36. A. pick up B. ring up C. toy with D. watch over37. A. worried B. disappointed C. tired D. confused38. A. diver B. dancer C. singer D. writer39. A. warm B. meaningful C. strange D. hopeless40.

MeanwhileSection C (8 marks)Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.Today, many people around the world need new hearts, lungs or other organs because of disease. They have to wait a long time for 48 new organ, and there are not enough organs for those who need them. Many people die 49 waiting for new organs. Scientists think they can use stem cells(干细胞) to make new organs or parts of the body. They are trying to learn 50 to make a stem cell become, for example, a heart cell. If scientists could make new organs using stem cells, then everyone 51 needed a new organ could get one the waiting time would be shorter. If someone has an accident and can 52 longer walk, scientists might be able to use stem cells to replace the damaged cells and allow that person to walk again.53 , some people think that the stem cell research should be stopped. They believe that embryos, which scientists use to get stem cells, are already human. If scientists create embryos and do not let 54 develop, they are killing humans. Also, some people thinkthat scientists should not be able to create or destroy life whenever they want to. There are many arguments for and 55 stem cell research and there is still much to learn about it.Part ⅢReading comprehension (20 marks)Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits (特点) in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and a foreign instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I do not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually do not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speech es (The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.56. To compete with American students, it’s very impo rtant to __________.A. be quite confidentB. be polite and friendlyC. have more discussions with themD. understand what they think about57. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who __________.A. gives a silly or simple answerB. tries to seize any chance to speak in classC. shows no interest in the courseD. is considered to have no opinion of his own58. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if __________.A. he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB. the students bargain with himC. he pretends to know what he doesn’tD. he has to give a speech59. We learn from the second paragraph that __________.A. we should also remain modest in AmericaB. modesty doesn’t help you much in AmericaC. Americans also like modest peopleD. modesty can help you get through an American graduate program60. The passage is mainly developed by __________.A. providing other people’s examplesB. making comparisonsC. giving different figuresD. telling personal experiencesBLike most people in Oregon, Stephanie was used to driving in bad weather. Although rain still beat the window of her car, the worst of the day’s storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter, Maggie, home from a church at 8:30 p.m. Two other little children sat into their car seats in back.When crossing over Fawcett Creek (小河), Stephanie found the road just ahead had been washed away. The storm had turned the creek into a 100-feet-wide river. Water began to go into the car and th e four of them had to climb onto the car’s roof. The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead. Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam (浮木阻塞).The water swept over them, rising higher and higher. Stephanie screamed into the rainy night, almost crying.“Mom, I have to go and get help,” her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried.Stephanie realized if she went by herself, Maggie couldn’t hold on to the other two babies. But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery. How could she manage? Finally she shouted, “I’m proud of you. Be careful!”As Maggie struggled to reach the shore, she was all wet. The sixth grader started runningto the nearest house. Inside, the neighbors immediately called 911 and were told that firefighters had got informed of the trouble at Fawcett Creek and the rescue team had made their way toward another trapped car. To her relief, the rescue team arrived 10 minutes later. Maggie joined the neighbors, and helped the firefighters to point out where her mother was. The firefighters saved Stephanie and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder.When Stephanie reached land in safety, Maggie raced into her mother’s arms. “She hugged me for five minutes,” Maggie remembers. Maggie accepted an award for her heroism, but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her f amily.61. What can we infer from the passage?A. Without the logjam, Stephanie’s car would have been swept into the Tillamook River.B. The rain became heavier when Stephanie drove home.C. Stephanie’s car was the only vehicle blocked in Fawcett Creek that night.D. Most of the time, the weather in Oregon is quite good.62. Stephanie’s screaming on the car’s roof suggested that she felt ______.A. surprisedB. helplessC. lonelyD. careless63. According to the passage, we can infer that Maggie ______.A. was strong enough to hold the two children in the waterB. tried to take a boat to the bank in order to get helpC. stopped her sports activities due to her foot injuryD. rescued her family using a ladder64. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?①Firefighters rescued Stephanie and her children from the river.②Firefighters were sent to another trapped car.③The neighbors Maggie found called 911.④The rescue team got informed of the trouble at Fawcett Creek.A. ④②③①B. ④③②①C. ③④②①D. ③④①②65. What is the passage mainly about?A. A heavy storm damaged a road and killed lots of drivers.B. A brave young girl helped save her family from flood.C. Firefighters rescued a family late at night from flood.D. Great neighbors saved people in a flood.Part ⅣWriting(25 marks)Section A （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows mainly from careless and rude behavior of drivers who refuses to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the traffic accidents on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people--- just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a general truth that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence（疏忽）.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents result from the psychological condition of the driver. For instance，emotional upsets can disturb drivers' reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be clear. The experts warn that it is very important for every driver to make a conscious (神志清醒的) effort to keep one's emotions under control.Yet drivers are not the only people who are to blame for much of the problem. Street walkers regularly break traffic rules. They are responsible in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they may not obey the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to make people aware of safe driving, which requires constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things will be a threat to those with whom they share the road.Title: A social problem —66. __I. Present situation:The motor vehicle has caused more deaths and made more people 67. than before.II. 68.:▲ drivers—have poor psychological condition, for example 69.which leads to ● disturbing drivers’ reactions● 70.● blinding them to evident dangers▲71.—violate traffic regulations▲72.—have no respect for 73. of the road III. Solutions:▲raising safety standards▲74.▲75. increasing people’s of safe drivingSection C (15 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.作为我校环保社社长，请为创建“绿色株洲，低碳株洲”活动写一封倡议书，号召我校师生为株洲环保做三件实事，并简介理由。

Then I thought about how he 33 with difficult situation. A lot of pictures appeared into my idea, but one scene came sharply into view.We had just moved to Holliswood, New York.

But not Dad’s.The rain was 38 . Then he announced, “Ok, we’re going to push him up!”“What are you talking about, Dad? The roots are out of the ground !”“Shut up; we’re going to push him up; he’s going to 39 .” We couldn’t say no to him. So we followed him into the house and we got what rope there was and we tied the rope around the top of the tree that lay on the street and he stood up by the house, with me 40 on the rope and Frankie in the street in the rain, helping to 41 up the great blue spruce. In no time at all, we had it standing up straight again! Dad 42 stakes(木桩) in the ground, tied rope from the trunk to the stakes, and said, “Don’t worry, he is going to grow again...”I looked at the card and wanted to cry.

Schmidt pleaded(恳请) earnestly with the pilot for quite a while. Since it was a slow day and there were not many customers, the pilot finally agreed. “Ok, I will take you and your wife for ten dollars on one condition: while in the air, you cannot make any noise. 47 I hear a peep(动静) out of you, that will cost you 20 dollars,” Schmidt agreed reluctantly(不情愿地,勉强地).The plane took 48 without a hitch.

Each passage is follo w ed by se v eral questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information gi v en in the passage.ASportsAll over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Both of them are just about a hundred years old. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.51. From the passage we know that ______.A. people began to play sports about one hundred years agoB. about 100 years ago people ran or jumped when they playedC. basketball has a longer history than volleyballD. not all the games have a long history.52. According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Sports help to train a person’s character.B. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other before a game.C. People swim only because there are a lot of rivers in their country.D. Sports and games can develop the friendship between people all over the world.53. The writer did NOT tell us in this passage that ______.A. basketball was invented in AmericaB. sports change with the seasonC. games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activitiesD. football is played all over the world54. The writer writes about the Arab’s using camels in their sports to show that _____.A. it is a unique sportB. it has a long historyC. sports help to train one’s characterD. some sports are closely related to people’s work and daily activities55. The underlined word “grace” in the last paragraph probably means “________” in Chinese.A. 成功B. 风度C.公平D. 梦想BIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter(（中枢神经系统的）灰白质). This is the area of the brain which processes(加工,处理) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals ” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain moreflexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.56. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.A. science on learning a second languageB. language learning and the increase in one’s brain power.C. man’s ability of learning a second languageD. language learning and the study of maths57. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions exercise in order to _____.A. say language is also a kind of physical labourB. prove that one needs more practice when he or she is learning a languageC. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work wellD. to show the importance of using the language when you learn it.58. What change can we get during the experience of learning a second language?A. The increase of the ability to learn.B. The development of muscles.C. The improvement of strange pronunciation.D. A worse understanding of different ideas.59. We may know from the scientific findings that _______.A. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a secondlanguageB. the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brainC. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the timeD. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is60. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ______.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageC. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsD. you’d better start to learn a second language between 2 and 34C“Clean your plate!” and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’s accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa.” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in theUS take too many bites. Instead of “cleaning the plate’, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies(胃口,食欲). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate (将……联系起来) quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion(一分,份额) sizes began (or grew) in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand(扩大).Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.It’s not that working-class Americans don’t want to eat healthily. It’s just that, “after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.”61. Parents in the United States tend to ask their children _______.A. not to save foodB. to wash the dishesC. not to eat too muchD. not to waste food62. Why do American restaurants serve large portions?A. Because Americans associate quantity with value.B. Because Americans have big bellies.C. Because Americans are good eaters.D. Because Americans are greedy.63. Which of the following is NOT true of working-class Americans?A. They work long hours.B. They live from paycheck to paycheck.C. They don’t want to be healthy eaters.D. They want to save money for their children.64 What happened in the 1970s?A. The US government recommended the amount of food a restaurant gave to a customer.B. Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.C. The United Stated produced more grain than needed.D. The American waistline started to expand.65. What does the survey indicate(表明,显示)?A. Many poor Americans want large portions.B. Twenty percent of the Americans want smaller portions.C. Fifty seven percent of the Americans earn $150,000 per year.D. Twenty three percent of the Americans earn less than $25,000 per year.Part ⅣWriting(20 marks)Section A (5 marks)Directions: Read the follo w ing passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each ans w er.A smart card is a card that is carried with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip that is not programmable. The microprocessor card can add, delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information. In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:IC (Integrated Circuit) microprocessor cards: Microprocessor cards (chip cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do. Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things. Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity. Some examples of these cards are: cards that hold money; cards that provide safe access to a network; cards that allow setting stop boxes on television to remain safe from privacy(隐私).Optical memory cards: Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top. Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories. Today, these have no processors in them (although this is coming in the near future). While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the cards readers are expensive.Title: 66Types 68 Disadvantages SimilaritiesIC chip cards ● A larger memory& better security;●Hold data Not mentioned ●70 ;●Large memory;●Low cost ofcards67 ●Store much data;●Good fordoctors, driversand travelers to ●Data that can notbe changed orremoved;●No processors;●Expensive 69keep records;●Cost not muchSection B (15 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions gi v en belo w in Chinese.假如你是李红，近日，你班正在开展一场主题为“幸福是什么？”的讨论。

66.范文示例：We have made a debate whether we should have breakfast outside. Some think it is very good. For one thing, it can help save time. If students have breakfast at home, they have to get up early to prepare food, which wastes time. For another, the food outside is more delicious than that cooked at home.However, some students don’t think so. Firstly, it is bad for health. As we know, some of the food offered outside maybe is what we call “Rubbish Food”, which lacks a good balance of nutrition and is not helpful for health. Besides, it costs too much money.In my opinion, we’d better have breakfast at home. Anyhow, health is the most important.。
