Bulgarian Evgenia Radanova, world record holder and 2002 silver medalist, had to settle for a silver again with a time of 44.374 seconds. Canada's Anouk Leblang-Boucher got the bronze in 44.759 with Chinese Fu Tianyu disqualified for cross tracking.The 20-year-old Wang, who has won four World Cup races over 500m, proved herself as the most consistent short tracker in the world. Her victory helped ease China's pain of losing an expected gold in the women's 500m long-track speed skating when World Cup leader Wang Manli came second to Russia's Svetlana Zhurova on Tuesday. Like China's Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang, Wang jumped onto the podium and waved excitedly to the cheering crowd. "Until I jumped onto the podium did I know my name had not yet been announced," Wang said, laughing. "I was just so excited and anxious to get onto the podium."South Koreans Kang Yun-Mi and Jin Sun-Yu, tipped as biggest threats to Chinese skaters before the competition, were edged out in the semifinals.41. Which of the following statements is true?A. Wang Manli had been expected to win the women's 500m long track speed skating but she failedB. Evgenia Radanova became world record holder in 2002.C. Wang Meng won the first gold medal in the Turin Winter OlympicGames.D. Svetlana Zhurova came second together with Wang Manli.42.Why did Wang Meng jumped onto the podium before her name was announced? Because Liu Xiang had done so before.Because she didn't understand the language.Because the cheering crowd wanted her to do so.Because she was so excited and anxious.43. How many skaters are mentioned in this passage?A. 10B. 9C. 11D. 844. Which of the following explanations is closest in meaning with the underlined word “edged out” in the last paragraph?A. forbidden to take partB. kicked outC. chosenD. picked outBWith the number of college graduates climbing to a record high this year—some 2.12 million are entering the job market, an increase of 670,000, or 46.2 percent, overlast year, many people are asking if China's first “McDonald's generation", bornin the early 1980s,can stand the intense competition and find a place in the job market. They say this will be a test of both China's job market and its carefree younger generation.“Do not worry. We'll get whatever we want"，they tell each other to ease their own anxiety.Born in the early days of the country's reform and opening to the outside world, growing up in the market economy, the youngsters, familiar with McDonald's and Mickey Mouse, love to eat hamburgers, and wear foreign brand jeans and T-shirts and worshipBill Gates. Compared with their parents, they enjoy more freedom in looking for a job—and with that freedom coming burdens.These college graduates are seen scouring recruitment information in newspapers and journals, the Internet and job markets nationwide.Shortly after hotel management major, Hao Wenhua, a young woman from Chongqing in Southwest China, failed the recruitment test of a five star hotel in Guilin, South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. She appeared at a job market in Nanning, approximately 300 kilometers from Guilin, looking rather tired.Many businesses and companies say that they would take on experienced staff rather than the new graduates who are short of the experience of how to succeed in today'sfast paced society.45. Which of the following groups of people belongs to China's first McDonald's generation?A. People who were born in the early days of China's reform and opening to the outside world.B. People who like to eat hamburgers and wear foreign brand clothes.C. People who admire Bill Gates.D. People who lack the experience of how to succeed in today's fast changing world.46.What can we infer from the story of Hao Wenhua in the passage? We can infer______ .A. that there are many chances to find jobs in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous RegionB. that hotel management is not a good major in collegeC. that there is intense competition in the job marketD. that many businesses and companies don't like new college graduates47.What is the best title for the passage?A. Fierce Competition in the Job Market.B. McDonald's Generation Has Grown up.C. McDonald's Generation Faces Job Hunting.D. The Number of College Graduates Climbs to the Highest Point.CYour mobile phone rings, and instead of usual electronic signals, it's playing your favorite music. A friend sends you a favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone.The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones---all –purpose gadgets that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one. Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers.The fans could pass music or songs along to friends--- a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile phone downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of your mobile, based in Santa Monic, California. “If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It's like going through a toll (收费)gate. There's more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”Massachusetts-based converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that let people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.“A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you'll be disappointed if you think you can change it into a radio,”said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a song while you are on vacation, you appreciate the feeling.”48. The title of this passage should be _______.A. Wonderful Mobile PhonesB. The Music BusinessC. The Internet, A Modern InventionD. Music On Your Phone49.The underlined word “blend” (in Paragraph 2)probably means _______.A. sendB. becomeC. combineD. compare50.Record companies _______ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.A. are worried aboutB. are interested inC. try hard to stopD. take no notice of51.According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to______ through the mobile phone network than on the Internet.A. protect the copyright of music worksB. send personal messagesC. pass music to friendsD. send voice mailDJune 26,2000—the Human Genome Project, a great 3 billion,15-year task aimed atdrawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in fast developing field of biotechnology(生物学) have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination。

What happened to the flight's 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.But it's hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreckage(残骸) and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.Amelia Earhart: Ace(王牌) pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. No trace of her plane was ever found even after a multi-million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived. The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1,300 people involved in the U.S. military search never found any trace of wreckage.British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flight that disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentinian rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains as well.Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed for Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people. In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche(雪崩) that hit the plane's wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before they were finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky.36. What can we learn from Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571?A. 12 people were lost until now.B. 25 people were rescued instantly.C. The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.D. 8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside.37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Earhart was declared dead by the authorities two years later.B. The bodies of Flight 447 had all been found after three years.C. Two Argentinian rock climbers discovered the dead in the Andes.D. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was regarded as the largest air crash.38. The passage has been written to .A. introduce the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370B. explain how to avoid airplane disappearances as a pilotC. tell readers mysterious airplane disappearances in Aviation HistoryD. call on people to protect themselvesBMassachusetts today looks nothing like it did when the first English settlers arrived. Back in the 17th century, forest blanketed the land. Today, roads and towns cover much of the area. But the past is not dead and gone. Just an hour's drive from Boston lies Plymouth Plantation.There you'll experience the 17th century life from the days of the Pilgrims(清教徒移民). You can look in the Pilgrims' homes, watch the way they cook, and ask them about their daily life. You can even help them build houses or work in the fields.When you arrive at Plymouth, you are greeted with "How do you fare?" instead of "How are you?" In this living history plantation, actors portray(展现) real people of 17th century in Plymouth. Each actor has taken the identity of someone from that period.All the actors speak the language of Shakespeare. They're happy to talk about the hardships of their lives or just share the gossip of the day. But don't try to discuss modern topics. They won't understand what you are talking about!In fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the First Thanksgiving. You'll dine with your hands like Pilgrims. You'll find no pepper(胡椒粉) on the table. This expensive spice was used very sparingly(节俭地) in cooking. You'll find no last-course "dessert", either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with the meal.Cranberries were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Plymouth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you'll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.Of course, the First Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. If you want to find out something about the Wampanoag, explore the recreated Wampanoag Homesite. It is just a short walk from Plymouth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americansdressed in 17th century Wampanoag outfits(全套服装) describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies.Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century. But in Plymouth, the past lives on.39. What do you know about Plymouth Plantation?A. It is a cranberry plantation in Plymouth.B. It is where some old Pilgrims are still living.C. It presents the Pilgrims' lives in the 1600s.D. It is a plantation dating back to the 1700s.40. What can tourists do in Cranberry World?A. Harvest cranberries by yourself.B. Learn how to grow cranberries.C. Taste various cranberry products.D. Visit an old history museum.41. The purpose of the rebuilt of Wampanoag Homesite is to .A. protect Native Americans, the WampanoagB. attract more tourists to stay in PlymouthC. show how the Wampanoag helped the PilgrimsD. keep the 17th century Native Americans' life alive42. What is the best title for the passage?A. An Interesting Journey to PlymouthB. The Life of the PilgrimsC. A Journey to Plymouth's PastD. Life in the 17th CenturyCThe general Allotment Act, passed in 1887 by the United States Congress, was expected to help Native Americans. The Act called for breaking up tribal reservations(部落居留地) and turning them into family-sized farms. Each farm would be given to an individual Native American.The government thought that Native Americans would be better off if they forgot their tribal organizations and their tribal languages. The government expected Native Americans who owned land and farmed for a living to become more like other Americans. But it didn't work out that way. The Native Americans were used to living in tribal groups and sharing with each other. They had always thought of land as something that belonged to the whole tribe, rather than to individuals.With their families scattered on separate farms, many Native Americans were dissatisfied. The land they were given was often poor, and they hadn't the skill to farm it well. Poverty and poor health increased, while the Native American stuck to their old languages and customs. Eventually the government realized that the division of reservation land had made things worse rather than better for Native Americans.The Indian Reorganization Act, passed in 1943, reversed the government's policy. This Act said that all Native American land should be owned by tribes, rather than by individuals. The new Act encouraged tribalorganizations to take responsibility for running tribal affairs. The Act also provided money, which tribes could borrow to buy more land or to start business.Economic conditions have improved for Native Americans. Many tribes run successful manufacturing, mineral leasing, hotels and gambling business. Yet problems of unemployment and poor health still exist. Today Native Americans face a double challenge. They must continue to improve their economic and political position, while at the same time preserving their lands and cultural heritage.43. Why did the government want Native Americans to own land and farm for a living?A. It thought this would make Native Americans more like other Americans.B. It wanted to see if individual Native Americans would drop out of school.C. It wanted to see whether matters could become worse on the reservation.D. It thought all the land and farm should belong to Native Americans.44. Though it is not directly stated, the article suggests that .A. most people who owned land and farmed it were Native AmericansB. Native Americans were used to living on separate farmsC. the government did not quite understand Native American waysD. the customs of the Native Americans were harmful and uncivilized45. On the whole, the article tells us about .A. the good land that was given to Native AmericansB. the government's effort to help that didn't work outC. helping Native Americans on their reservationsD. breaking away from old customs of Native Americans46. Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A. The government wanted to break up family farms.B. Native Americans are very hard to deal with.C. New customs are always better than old ones.D. Old customs usually influence modern life.DSure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post Newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems , such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.47. In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A. how to get along well with teachersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant48. "learning bursts right open" in the third paragraph really means .A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there'll be more problems with learningD. there'll be no problems with learning49. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.50. Which of the comments in FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.四、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）A Brief History of SlaveryIt is said that the first known slaves lived more than five thousand years ago in the Sumerian society of what is now Iraq. 51. It expanded as trade and industry increased. This increase created a demand for the labor force to produce goods for export. Slaves did most of the work. Most ancient people thought of slavery as a natural condition that could happen to anyone at any time.52. Sugar was one of these things. Italians set up large sugar farms around the twelfth century. They used slaves from Russia and other parts of Europe to do the work. By the year of thirteen hundred, African blacks had begun to replace the Russian slaves. They were bought or caught from North African Arabs, who used them as slaves for years.By the 1500s, Spain and Portugal got American colonies(殖民地). The Europeans forced native Indians to work in large farms and mines in the colonies. 53. So the Spanish and the Portuguese began to bring in people from West Africa as slaves. France, Britain and the Netherlands did the same in their American colonies.54. That was not true in the early years of the American nation. Many Americans thought slavery was necessary. Yet owning slaves was common among rich people in the early 1700s.55. One example is the famous American diplomat (外交家), inventor and businessman Benjamin Franklin. He owned slaves for thirty years and sold them at his general store. But his ideas about slavery changed during his long life. Benjamin Franklin started the first schools to teach blacks and later argued for their freedom.A. Today, most people in the world see slavery as unfair.B. Most of the Indians died from European diseases and poor treatment.C. People who were rich enough to own many slaves became leaders in their local areas.D. In later times, slaves provided the labor needed to produce products that were in demand.E. Many of the leaders in the colonies who fought for American independence owned slaves.F. Slavery also existed among people in China, India, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.G. By 1750, almost twenty-five percent of the total number of people in the American colonies were black slaves.五、作文（共1小题；共25分）56. 假设你是某旅行社的一名导游，请根据表格内容用英语向外宾介绍海南岛的基本情况。

There was great competition between the city stateswhich led to regular warsand between the families which ruled them.Thecity states also competed with each other to build the grandest or tallest buildings.

The most powerful family in Florence was the Medici family,who had made their money through banking.The most famous member of the family was Lorenzo de Medici who ruled the city between 1469 and 1492. The other powerful people who had influence in Florence were the members of the guilds (行业协会).Craftsmen such as carpenters each had their own guild.If you were a member of a guild and over 25 years old then you could be involved in governing the city. The rulers of Florence wanted their city to be impressive and famous.TheMedici collected books and built a huge library to house them.They spent money on renovating (修复) old buildings and putting up new ones.They built a splendid palace and employed painters and sculptors to decorate it.Some of the best and most famous artists were brought to work in Florence. 1.What do we know about the city states?

Most people enjoy hearing a well-told story. But what makes a story well-told? And what makes people want to share it?Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania recently 1 up those two questions head-on. They found that a story is more 2 to be shared if it includes the right mix of emotions and a clear, but not too obvious 3 point.Over a fire-week period, the researchers examined 7,000 news stories. They found that 80% of them were shared by 4 . The researchers then focused on the “most-emailed” stories and 5 came up with 1,300 characteristics that these articles had in common.After narrowing the list down to 400, the researchers 6 characteristics such as amusement, excitement, surprise, 7 , and disbelief. To measure “emotion,” the researchers built a dictionary of “power words” 8 each emotion, and then counted how often each word appeared in the stories.The researchers also found that 9 stories were more likely to be shared. Stories that stoke our intellectual curiosity, such as those that 10 new technology or like the 11 of a hard math problem, were also more 12 to be shared.On the other hand, the researchers found that stories that evoked a sense of sadness were 13 shared. “There’s a whole other body of research on howwe 14 to feel sad when we’re sharing these stories,” explained Jonah Berger, one of the researchers. “We share sad stories when they could help others.”Finally, the researchers found that we are 15 likely to share stuff we find 16 themselves.The researchers then moved on to the second question: What makes a story more word-of-mouth worthy? According to Berger, the key is to make the 17 point of the story feel like our own idea. “We feel smart and 18 when we can come up with an idea on our own,” he says. “When we share a story, we’re not just 19 someone else’s point of view. We’re sharing our own.” Giving people the tools to present your 20 in their language makes it easier for them to share your idea.1. A. brought B. took C. made D. put2.
