He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962, long after he had received his Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Oregon State College in 1922. He had chosen to study this major because he could get a good job with it.He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 “for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substances”. His interest in the “behavior”of molecules (分子) led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry, especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts, the amino acids (氨基酸), which are called the “building blocks of life”. In 1950, he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule, a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell.During World War II, Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security, for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However, the use of the atomicbomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules, he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout on human molecular structures.From then on, Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bomb and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts, ＴｈｅＮｕｃｌｅａｒ－Ｔｅｓｔ－ＢａｎＴｒｅａｔｙ, declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones, came into effect on October 10, 1963, the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace.56. From the first paragraph, we learn that Linus Pauling ______________.A. didn't study hard while in Washington High SchoolB. is the only scientist who has won two Nobel PrizesC. was once badly treated in Washington High SchoolD. chose to study chemical engineering to earn his living57. Which of the following things did Pauling pay much attention to at first?A. The “behavior”of molecules.B. Physical chemistry.C. Biological chemistry.D. The human body.58. During World War II, Linus Pauling ___________.A. had to stop his research because of the warB. made great contributions to the safety of the countryC. joined the army to fight for the safety of the countryD. took part in researching nuclear bombs59. Which of the following is legal according to ＴｈｅＮｕｃｌｅａｒ－Ｔｅｓｔ－ＢａｎＴｒｅａｔｙ?A. The use of nuclear weapons.B. Testing hydrogen bomb on the ground.C. Testing nuclear weapons underground.D. The production of hydrogen bombs.ＢThere is no best way to learn a language, just different ways that suit different people. Some people prefer to “pick up”the language by reading books or magazines, watching films, visiting the country where the target language is spoken, etc. They focus on the meanings of words and don't worry too much about the language forms used. This method often suits children if they find themselves in a foreign country or with foreign friends. However, this approach doesn't suit everyone if your aim is to become good at writing.Probably the most common way to learn a language is in a classroom with a teacher. The teacher can explain difficult words, give guidance, provide extra motivation and feedback on progress. Unfortunately, some people do not have very pleasant experiences of learning a language in the classroom. Language learning can be great fun. But your writing level will be increased most efficiently this way. Besides learning in a classroom, you can use a personal tutor and arrange a very flexible system of tuition. That means if you are busy at a particular time, you can still arrange to have your language tuition at a time that suits you.With recent improvements in modern technology, it is now possible to purchase a wide range of multi-media materials for learning a language. You can teach yourself using cassettes, videos, CD- ROMs, books, and any combination of these. This approach is best suited to students who are self-disciplined and well-organized. It also tends to assist with the development of reading and listening skills. But be sure to pick out materials of high quality. If you want to become fluent at speaking and writing a language, you'll also benefit from cooperating with other users.60. The method mentioned in the first paragraph can be considered _______.A. passive learningB. natural and active learningC. the most effective learning methodD. a st ructured learning method61. The underlined word “flexible”in the second paragraph means “________”.A. strictB. pleasantC. safeD. free62. From the passage, we can NOT learn that ________. A. people need to care about grammar when speaking a languageB. classroom studying can be boring sometimesC. not all learning materials can help improve our language levelD. students lacking self-control may not benefit much from self-study63. What might be talked about in the next passage?A. How to find a personal tutor.B. How to deal with the difficulties in study.C. How to cooperate with other language learners.D. How to find the best studying method.ＣA new effort is being launched to better educate parents about the earliest signs of autism (孤独症). Doctors at Maryland's Kennedy Krieger Institute, one of the country's leading autism centers, say they can now identify symptoms in children at a younger age than before.Children with autism withdraw into their own private worlds. Most children are not diagnosed until they are 3 to 5 years old, but the signs can appear as early as 6 months. “Most people use the rule of thumb that if a child is showing developmental delays before the age of 3, they'll catch up, but children with autism usually can't,”said researcher Rebecca Landa.Researchers at the institute are showing in a video just what symptoms to look for, even in an infant. In about 30 percent of autism cases, researchers are now documenting what they call “regressive（倒退的）autism”. One boy documented by the Kennedy Krieger Institute was engaged and smiling at his mother at 6 months. When he reached one year, he appeared a little shy, but again, there was no reason for concern. But at the age of 2, he was totally attached to his toys and the signs in him have become more obvious. “Although causes of autism remain unknown, now you can really see autism in its full form,”Landa said.Chloe was diagnosed with autism at 2, when she could not interact with the children around her, and she hated to be touched. But after four months of intensive treatment, her behavior improved significantly.“She is talking now,”Landa said. “She looks to the teacher and shares enjoyment. Shelooks to others to know what she should be doing.”Chloe will still require many more years of treatment, but these early gains do last.64. Which of the following is NOT a symptom of a child suffering from autism?A. Not speaking to people around him.B. Not making eye contact with others.C. Acting aggressively to people around them.D. Fixing all his attention on the objects.65. What do the underlined words “these early gains”in the last paragraph probably refer to?A. Many years of treatment.B. Researches carried out by Landa.C. The early recognition of signs of autism.D. The cases Landa provided.66. From the passage, we can learn that __________.A. early signs of autism are often unnoticed or ignoredB. more and more children are suffering from autismC. autism can be completely cured if early symptoms are noticedD. children usually develop autism at the age of three67. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Early Symptoms of Autism in Children.B. Parents Should Look for Early Signs of Autism.C. New Effective Way to Treat Autism.D. Researchers Identify New Symptoms of Autism.ＤCome and discover the little big city in Switzerland. It's worth it to see the nicest sights. In fact, no matter what your idea of fun is, you'll find it in Zurich.If it is your first stay in this city, you should start in the heart of Zurich, the historical romantic old part of town. The narrow alleyways lace the picturesque houses and only pedestrians (步行者) are allowed. Here, you'll have a wonderful time drinking and eating in a charming bistro where you can sit outside and enjoy the sun. While you're enjoying the traditional Swiss food, you'll catch the fascinating atmosphere and be able to observe the different people who walk by.If you like, you can climb aboard a lake cruiser for a 3-hour tour around the lake or just walk up to the border of the lake and feed the proud swans and cute ducks, which is the cheapest way to enjoy it. You will be abso lutely amazed at the nice view over the lake of the high Alps covered with snow. For more fun, you can explore the lake with colorful paddle boats.Be sure to visit the beautiful mountain called House Mountain, which can give you the most unforgettable overview of Zurich. You can take a ride on the railway built in 1923 to the top where you can breathe the fresh mountain air. From the lookout tower, you'll have a picturesque view of the lake, the city and the amazing Alps.Last, don't miss walking down the most famous shopping street, the Bahnhofstrasse, a distance of 1.4 kilometers. On both sides, you'll find everything you need and of course, you'll find the well-known Swiss banks.Come to see us. You'll have an unforgettable stay in this little big city. You won't regret it. 68. You may not have the chance of ________ if you go to Switzerland.A. going shopping on a famous shopping streetB. visiting the beautiful lake and mountainC. visiting the romantic old part of a townD. making some traditional Swiss food in person69. How can you enjoy the view of the lake if you don't have much money?A. By taking a lake cruiser.B. By climbing the snow-covered Alps.C. By taking an old railway train.D. By walking to the lake and feeding birds there.70. Where can you get the best overview of the city of Zurich?A. On the top of House Mountain.B. On the narrow alleyways.C. In the center of the town.D. Over the lake.71. The purpose of writing this passage is to _________. A. introduce some interesting places of ZurichB. encourage people to come to Zurich to have a visitC. let people know more about the history of ZurichD. tell people how to get fun when visiting ZurichＥPlease excuse me if I'm a little sad today. Mark is leaving, and I'm feeling kind of sad.You probably don't know Mark. He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years, combining great professional skills with a sweet nature. And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity. We're genuinely (真诚地) pleased about it. But that doesn't make it easier to say goodbye.Life has a way of throwing these curve balls at us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation, something c omes along to change the recipe. Our ability to cope with change and disturbance determines, to a great degree, our peace, happiness and contentment in life.But how do we do that? My friend Chris once told me that the answer can be summed up in four words “Go with the flow”. “It's like surfing,”Chris explained. “You can't organize the ocean. Waves just happen. You ride them where they take you, then you paddle back out there and catch the next one. Mostly you just take them the way they come.”I'm not exactly sure, but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events —both good and bad. There will always be life-influencing factors you can't control. When things come up, which aren't exactly in your plan, work them out and then move on to be truly successful. Of course, a rained-out picnic is easier to deal with than the sudden death of a loved one. But the principle is the same.We'll miss Mark, but let's focus on hopes for a brighter future. And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen.72. What is the probable relationship between the writer and Mark?A. Mother and son.B. Wife and Husband.C. Colleagues.D. Sister and brother.73. Which of the following is NOT an example of a curve ball in life?A. A wonderful neighbor moves away.B. The family's main bread-winner is out of work.C. A child in the family leaves for college.D. A person succeeds after many years of hard work.74. By comparing a rained-out picnic with a sudden death of a loved one, the writer wants to show __________.A. many changes could happen in our daily lifeB. some changes in life are easier to take than othersC. the sudden death of a loved person will destroy our lifeD. only what influences us greatly should be treated seriously75. According to the passage, truly successful people are those who _______.A. can predict what will happen in the futureB. are not interested in what is happening around themC. can make adjustments when the unexpected thing happensD. reach a higher position with the aid of a higher powerIV 写作第一节短文改错I never used to enjoying science, but last term, I changed 76. _______the school, and the science teachers at my new school were great. 77. _______The laboratories have the latest equipment.

AMy senior year of high school was a very hectic one, to say the least. If I wasn´t studying or worrying about my grades, I was working on after-class activities. It seemed as if my life had turned into one crazy cloud of confusion and I hoped to find some sort of direction.Finally, I got a part-time job at the local coffee shop. I had thought it would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring coffee and becoming close friends with my customers.What I hadn´t expected were the people with so many orders. There were moments when I was very angry simply because I couldn´t seem to please anyone. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skim milk. However, I kept at it.One day, one of my customers came in, depressed. Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He looked at me questioningly because he hadn´t ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw his favourite doughnut (甜甜圈) I had given him. He smiled and thanked me before heading out into the rain.The next evening, he came. Instead of ordering something, he handed me a single pink rose and a note.“Thanks for being so sweet and thoughtful yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who´s warm and unselfish. Please don´t change your ways because I truly believe that you will do better. Have a great day!”As time went on, I did come across some customers really particular. But anytime I felt depressed, I thought of that man and his kindness. Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”1.What does the underlined word “hectic” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Glad.B. Interesting.C. Productive.D. Busy.2.What can we know about the author´s part-time job?A. It is easy and stress-free.B. It is quite busy and challenging.C . It doesn´t need special skills. D. It gives the author a feeling of freshness.3.What´s the message the author wants to convey?A. Kind words are worth much but cost little.B. It is impossible to satisfy everyone in our life.C. A small act of kindness can make a big difference.D. Our attitude determines our suffering or our freedom.BAn idea that started in Seattle´s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The idea is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(爱好) to be enjoyed by all, theprogramme allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original programme used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” programme. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and characters.The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.As Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.4.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A.To invite authors to guide readers.B.To encourage people to read and share.C.To involve people in community services.D.To promote the friendship betweencities.5.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A.They had little interest in reading.B.They were too busy to read a book.C.They came from many different backgrounds.D.They lacked support from the local government.6.The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean .A.exchanged ideas with each otherB.discussed the meaning of a wordC.gained life experienceed the same languageCScientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do, the results may range from the disastrous (灾难性的) to the troubling. One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that country´s bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, which was the scientist´s name, had a total success on his hands.Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry. They attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (刺), began to attack their neighbours—cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings.This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.7. The results of the South American experiment .A.are not importantB.are not yet certainC.have caused a serious troubleD.have proved to be wrong8. The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to .A.make African bees less activeB.increase the number of bees in BrazilC.make Brazilian bees more easy-goingD.increase the amount of honey in Brazil9. Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees´ attacking personalities?A.Their bad temper.B.Their hard work.C.Their production of honey.D.Their living environment.10. The last paragraph implies that .A.the bees prefer to live in BrazilB.the bees must be stopped from moving northC.the bees may bring about trouble in more countriesD.the bees have been driven to Central and North America第二节阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
