选词填空（15选10）Botany, the study of plants, has a highly valued position in the history of human knowledge. From what we have 1) observed of preindustrial (工业化以前的) societies, a detailed study of plants must have been pretty ancient. Plants are the 2) basis of food for all living things, even for some other plants. They have always been 3) enormously important to human beings, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, medicines, shelter, and many other 4) purposes. People who lived in the jungle of the Amazon can recognize a wide 5) range of plants and know their properties. To them, botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.However, 6) unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants. Now not many people have a reasonable 7) amount of botanical knowledge. About10,000 years ago, when our ancestors 8) discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds could be planted the next season, the 9) bond between plants and humans was formed. As a result crops were 10) cultivated. From then on, humans live on the production of plants.A) uncovered B) discovered C) cultivated D) exploredE) observed F) range G) chain H) bondI) amount J) number K) resources L) basisM) purposes N) enormously O) unfortunately参考答案：1) observed 2) basis 3) enormously 4) purposes 5) range 6) unfortunately 7) amount 8) discovered 9) bond 10) cultivatedSome people argue loudly that putting the bright and the not-so-bright children in the same class can have a bad effect on their development. According to them, it canalso be quite 1) discouraging for those at the bottom of the class, but we think 2) otherwise.We believe it is definitely unfair to 3) classify our children just according to their 4) intellectual abilities. There are quite a lot of 5) disadvantages in doing so. Besides, it is against our educational purposes to develop the abilities of all our children to the full.However, in a mixed-ability class, there are various ways to help all children develop. Children often work in groups, which gives them the 6) opportunity to learn to share, to work together, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to make 7) decisions, to solve personal relationship problems as well as how to think and to communicate 8) effectively. Our children learn to do their best and we can give them extra encouragement to 9) attain the goal. Therefore, both their personal experiences and social skills are 10) enriched since they can learn from the teacher as well as from each other in a mixed-ability class.A) injuries B) disadvantages C) opportunity D) decisionsE) projects F) enriched G) classify H) intellectualI) acquire J) attain K) discouraging L) frighteningM) opposite N) otherwise O) effectively参考答案：1) discouraging 2) otherwise 3) classify 4) intellectual 5) disadvantages 6) opportunity 7) decisions 8) effectively 9) attain 10) enrichedMelting sea ice and the earlier-than-normal movement of walruses (海象) have made scientists worried. Researchers 1) anticipate that this year might bring another mass migration of animals to shore.Walruses 2) live on shellfish (贝类动物) and other animals they find by diving to the seafloor. Normally, the walruses, 3) particularly females with baby walruses, reston the floating sea ice during the summer. However, because of the global warming sea ice melts away and 4) vanishes over the relatively shallower waters where the walruses can feed. The 5) remaining ice stays only over water that is so deep that the walruses cannot dive down to the bottom for food. When this happens, the animals 6) stream back onto the land near shallower water.In recent years, researchers have found unusual 7) surges of mass migration have happened at an 8) incredible level, with walruses gathering in a(n) 9) immense number of more than 40,000. This can 10) strain the local ecosystem (生态系统) as the animals feed in a limited space, and many, generally the little walruses, get killed because it is too crowded. A recent study proved that the loss of sea ice was forcing more animals to swim longer distance, bringing danger to the life of their little ones.A) flow B) anticipate C) liveD) vanishesE) rushes F) immense G) incredible H) particularlyI) stream J) await K) strain L) finishesM) surges N) remaining O) believable参考答案：1) anticipate 2) live 3) particularly 4) vanishes 5) remaining 6) stream 7) surges 8) incredible 9) immense 10) strainIf you feel a shortage of energy, join our Health Club. Fatigue is common for people to 1) complain of to their doctors. In such cases, you should take a look at the causes for your tiredness and learn how you can get rid of it.Firstly, if you have to work hard 24 hours a day, seven days a week with high 2) efficiency, you will feel tired and bored. The 24/7 push to be productive can wear you out both physically and 3) emotionally. Your brain needs a break. You can have mini-breaks that will cheer you up and make your routine a little less routine.Secondly, if you sit staring at a screen for long periods of time you tend to blink(眨眼) less frequently and 4) strain your eyes. Your eyes need a break. Stand up once in a while to 5) stretch your legs and arms. Frequent breaks with long 6) strides to your nearby parks will keep your body active and reduce eyestrain.Finally, gaining as little as five pounds of weight can cause 7) fatigue. Extra weight also puts extra burden on your heart, which makes you tired. You can 8) dump the habit of eating junk food and 9) reverse yourself to the basics of healthy eating. Try to eat smaller 10) portions of food. With each pound of weight you lose, you’ll feel a rise in energy.A) reverse B) strip C) strain D) emptyE) portions F) fatigue G) rides H) emotionallyI) reserve J) stretch K) dump L) complainM) collections N) efficiency O) strides参考答案：1) complain 2) efficiency 3) emotionally 4) strain 5) stretch 6) strides 7) fatigue 8) dump 9) reverse 10) portionsScience is a complex social activity. Scientific activity is one of the main features of the modern world and, perhaps more than any other, makes our times 1) distinct from earlier centuries. Scientific research 2) involves different people doing different kinds of work. Men and women of all national backgrounds 3) participate in science and its applications. These people may focus on their efforts on 4) commitment to scientific knowledge either for theoretical development or for a particular practical purpose.As a social activity, science 5) reflects social values and viewpoints. For example, before the 20th century, women and people of color were not allowed in most of science by limiting their education and employment 6) opportunities. The 7)remarkable few who overcame (克服) those difficulties were unlikely to receive 8) due respect in the field of science.Meanwhile, the direction of scientific research is affected by influences within the culture of science itself, such as the opinion on what questions are most interesting or what methods are most likely to 9) yield good results. Scientists present their findings and theories at meetings or in scientific magazines. This 10) enables scientists to inform others about their work, to expose their ideas to criticism by other scientists, and to keep updated with scientific developments around the world.A) participate B) return C) enables D) involvesE) due F) applicable G) opportunities H) commitmentI) yield J) reflects K) enrich L) evolveM) remarkable N) distinct O) assignment参考答案：1) distinct 2) involves 3) participate 4) commitment 5) reflects 6) opportunities 7) remarkable 8) due 9) yield 10) enablesNormally we instinctively enter a state of disagreement whenever we come across undesirable things, and the unpleasant feeling of disagreement is often 1) overwhelming. This is our reaction (反应). Why not try non-reaction to 2) shield us from it? For instance, next time you feel too hot, instead of fanning yourself or turning on the air-conditioner, see if you can just sit and arouse the feeling of being warm in a positive way for a few minutes. With a bit of practice, you can put up with or even 3) ignore almost anything disagreeable to you that you might run into physically. Once you’re used to the non-reaction method with physical feelings, then you can 4) apply the same technique to less concrete things: emotions or situations. Instead of bringing any reaction against them, you can take and accept it with 5) grace and cool-headedness. Then, you will be free from the 6) awful emotional strain ofneeding to escape. When we have learned to 7) embrace undesirable feelings as if we had chosen them, the 8) negative circumstances will lose their effect over us. So remember, life becomes much more 9) agreeable when you stop disagreeing with it. Keep doing this and you’ll recognize the incredible 10) potential in non-reaction and feel comfortable with it.A) apply B) embrace C) cover D) accessibleE) overwhelming F) negative G) capacity H) potentialI) adopt J) shield K) ignore L) agreeableM) opposing N) awful O) grace参考答案：1) overwhelming 2) shield 3) ignore 4) apply 5) grace 6) awful 7) embrace 8) negative 9) agreeable 10) potentialA variety of conditions can affect the success or failure of negotiations (谈判). The following conditions make success in negotiations more likely.First, both parties must be willing to participate. If one party is unwilling for the negotiation, the 1) potential for reaching any agreement will certainly 2) decrease.Second, people must get ready to discuss. When there is not enough information 3) available, or a negotiation strategy unprepared, people may be 4) reluctant to begin the discussion.Third, both parties must have enough interests in common to 5) commit themselves to a shared decision-making discussion. For people to settle disagreement, they must have some means to 6) influence the attitudes and behavior from the other party. To 7) effect a change, they may provide needed information and seek the advice of experts for help.Finally, participants must have the 8) authority to make a decision. If not, negotiations will be limited to an information exchange between the parties. 9)Furthermore, both parties must have a willingness to 10) compromise. In other words, sometimes, to reach a satisfactory conclusion, it is necessary for the parties prepared to have less than 100 percent of needs or interests satisfied.A) effect B) affect C) commit D) decreaseE) decline F) influence G) compromiseH) concedeI) available J) applicable K) reluctant L) furthermoreM) necessity N) authority O) potential参考答案：1) potential 2) decrease 3) available 4) reluctant 5) commit 6) influence 7) effect 8) authority 9) Furthermore 10) compromiseStress sets off an alarm in the brain and the nervous system is aroused to sharpen the senses, quicken the pulse, deepen breathing and tense the muscles.Infrequent periods of stress pose little risk. But when stressful situations continue without being 1) resolved, the body is kept in a constantly active state, which increases the harm to biological systems. Finally, the body becomes 2) exhausted and its ability to repair and defend itself can be seriously 3) compromised. As the body’s self-defense power 4) erodes away, the risk of injury or disease increases.In the past 20 years, many studies have 5) indicated the relationship between job stress and a variety of illnesses. Mood and sleep 6) disturbances, upset stomach, and headache are examples of stress-related problems that are quick to develop and are commonly seen in these studies. These early 7) indications of job stress are usually easy to recognize. But the effects of job stress on chronic (慢性的) diseases are more difficult to 8) identify because chronic diseases take a long time to develop and can be influenced by many factors other than stress. Nevertheless, 9) evidence is rapidly increasing to suggest that stress plays a(n) 10) significant role in several types ofchronic health problems –especially cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, and psychological disorders.A) indications B) expressions C) disturbancesD) evidenceE) conflicted F) compromised G) resolved H) ensuredI) indicated J) erodes K) identify L) justifyM) involved N) exhausted O) significant参考答案：1) resolved 2) exhausted 3) compromised 4) erodes 5) indicated 6) disturbances 7) indications 8) identify 9) evidence 10) significantComputer use by college students is strongly encouraged, and is required in some courses. Some courses are now Internet-dependent; that is, the Internet has become a(n) 1) indispensable part of the course, from syllabuses (教学大纲) to homework. So, the use of the Internet on college campuses is 2) growing rapidly. There are so many 3) positive aspects of using this technology, for example, helping students feel more comfortable with their reading and learning.Although the Internet is an excellent tool for 4) gathering information and communicating with people, it has 5) disadvantages and puts those who make it the center of their lives at 6) risk. This can be bad for those who are unable to 7) balance their activities on the Internet with other parts of their lives. College students are particularly easy to be influenced in a(n) 8) negative way by the Internet. Students have their own psychological and developmental features (特点) and they have special expectations of the Internet, which may account for their 9) addiction to the Internet. It only takes a few clicks to move away from their 10) assignments to computer games or chatting with friends.Research in this area has just started, but more is needed to understand this problem fully and to find the most effective treatments.A) protective B) positive C) disadvantages D) arrangementsE) addiction F) risk G) advancing H) gatheringI) negative J) effective K) indispensable L) assignmentsM) addition N) balance O) growing参考答案：1) indispensable 2) growing 3) positive 4) gathering 5) disadvantages 6) risk 7) balance 8) negative 9) addiction 10) assignmentsThe Internet has changed the way of doing things. It has a stronger 1) impact than other electronic media on people and is the modern engine of progress; it presents a fresh 2) approach to online education.Personal computers and the Internet are rapidly 3) transforming the world into the Information Age. Already, the Internet is making large amounts of information 4) available to people at rapid speed. Teachers and students at college will have virtually immediate 5) access to vast amounts of educational information and a wide range of learning tools.The new technology provides students with skills that are 6) essential to success in modern society. Computer technologies in school will 7) enable students to become familiar with the necessary tools at an early age. By using the technology well, they will also 8) acquire better learning skills and become informed citizens and active community members.The Internet is a(n) 9) amazing information resource and a powerful communication tool. It will take the 10) focus of education from the university to the student. The Internet has come to befriend, live with and beyond both the teacher and the student.A) potential B) access C) focus D) impressionE) qualify F) enable G) accountable H) transformingI) essential J) target K) approach L) impactM) acquire N) available O) amazing参考答案：1) impact 2) approach 3) transforming 4) available 5) access 6) essential 7) enable 8) acquire 9) amazing 10) focusLiving in a family is never easy. Choosing between self-interest and caring for the family life is one of the most 1) fundamental problems facing all of us. To 2) overcome the problems, modern societies in general and American society in 3) particular, have tried to give women and men different moral responsibilities.Since the rise of industrialization (工业化), women have been expected to 4) seek personal development in addition to caring for the family. In the 21st Century, changes in family life have 5) weakened the traditional family responsibilities between men and women, but the changes are still ongoing.Women and men today are still facing problems over how to 6) balance between “independent self” and obligation to the family. Women as wives or mothers must now obtain economic independence even though they continue to 7) bear the responsibility for the family. Men as husbands or fathers are no longer the only ones to support the family as before, but they face new 8) pressures to become more involved fathers and partners. The young women and men have to 9) adapt to this changing social environment. Nevertheless, they also have a brilliant chance to develop new 10) strategies to reshape family life.A) adopt B) adapt C) bear D) seekE) weigh F) balance G) overcome H) overwhelmI) weakened J) strategies K) systems L) pressuresM) fundamental N) introductoryO) particular参考答案：1) fundamental 2) overcome 3) particular 4) seek 5) weakened 6) balance 7) bear 8) pressures 9) adapt 10) strategiesWhat is altruism (利他主义，无私行为)? Altruism is 1) defined as “putting the needs of all others ahead of oneself.”Basically, it means being 2) extremely generous. The term was created in the 19th Century by sociologist Auguste Comte, who believed that individuals had a moral 3) obligation to serve the interest of others. The term now has become an important topic in the field of psychology and it 4) emphasizes being unselfish (无私的).Altruism is also the idea of caring about the 5) welfare of others. It is a virtue in many cultures although the 6) concept of “others” toward whom such care should be given can be different from culture to culture. For humans, altruism is the desire to provide something of 7) value to a person who could be anyone but the self. But something that 8) benefits other people is not necessarily altruistic. For example, if one helps out another person with the intention to 9) improve one’s own reputation (声望), this action would not be 10) regarded as altruistic, but rather as an expression of self-interest. In short, altruism means helping others without any personal reasons or purposes.A) concept B) image C) value D) obligationE) challenge F) welfare G) extremely H) infrequentlyI) defined J) described K) regarded L) emphasizesM) comforts N) benefits O) improve参考答案：1) defined 2) extremely 3) obligation 4) emphasizes 5) welfare 6) concept 7) value 8) benefits 9) improve 10) regardedIn some society it is the custom for parents to arrange marriages for their children. The parents of a young man will 1) inquire about their son’s girlfriend. They will even meet with the parents of the girl, and if both families are pleased with each other, a marriage 2) agreement will be made. It doesn’t 3) exaggerate to say that sometimes the two young people meet for the first time at their wedding.Most Americans don’t 4) applaud the idea of arranged marriages. However, American parents also put some 5) pressure on their children to influence their choices of marriage. Since parents often help their children 6) financially, they feel that they have the right to help the young couple to select where they will live, or what kind of furniture they will 7) purchase .In many cases in the US, social class will 8) determine the choice of marriage partner. Marriages are usually arranged between people of 9) similar religious, educational and financial backgrounds. Despite what we see in the movies, in real life, the son of a bank president 10) rarely marries or even meets a coal miner’s (矿工) daughter. Americans may not understand arranged marriages, but marriages in the United States are arranged to some degree.A) usually B) financially C) commitment D) similarE) purchase F) chase G) frustrate H) inquireI) rarely J) pressure K) agreement L) sameM) applaud N) exaggerate O) determine参考答案：1) inquire 2) agreement 3) exaggerate 4) applaud 5) pressure 6) financially 7) purchase 8) determine 9) similar 10) rarelyFor many centuries there was no safety system against poverty and illness. The Industrial Age saw 1) extensive poverty amongst a rapidly expanding urban population.In 1941, William Beveridge, one of Britain’s 2) leading economists and social reformers, was asked to look at the problems of building a post-war Britain. His report, known as the “Beveridge Report”, was published in 1942, and it was based on two simple 3) elements : universality (普遍性) and comprehensiveness. In other words, the plan would be applied to everybody because Beveridge wanted to 4) ensure that people had the basic rights in life.The report covered the problems that were 5) threatening the society, for example, education and disease. Churchill’s government took the opportunity to deal with education first to reduce the number of 6) ignorant people. The 1944 Education Act (法案) 7) raised the school-leaving age to 16 years old, and also helped make university 8) entrance easier to new students.The second act, the 1948 National Assistance Act, 9) introduced a national health service free to all. Finally, the 1948 Children Act looked not only to child protection but development of each child’s 10) character and abilities.As the proposals in the “Beveridge Report” were carried out by the government, the basis of the modern welfare state was being built.A) threatening B) ignorant C) excessive D) ensureE) revealed F) introduced G) elements H) entranceI) leading J) innocent K) extensive L) insureM) raised N) character O) sections参考答案：1) extensive 2) leading 3) elements 4) ensure 5) threatening 6) ignorant 7) raised 8) entrance 9) introduced 10) characterWhat is meditation(冥想)? Meditation can be traced to the time when the Buddha (佛), monks (僧侣) 1) retreated into forests and mountains to think quietly about the truth of the Buddha’s Teaching. Meditation seems not only to help monks in 2) worshiping the Buddha, but can also benefit ordinary people.Meditation is a skill – a skill of conscious, continuous attention. You already have part of this skill – what keeps you stressed is your ability to pay 3) sustained attention to whatever is troubling you. Regular meditation practice can 4) relieve everyday stresses. You begin by learning to pay 5) deliberate attention to something pleasant and relaxing, and interrupt and 6) restrain stress-producing thoughts. This will turn around the effects of stress. Eventually, meditation can improve your health, 7) enhance your creativity, and even slow down the aging 8) process.Many people who meditate regularly feel that its benefits go well beyond the 9) relief of stress. They feel that meditation has enabled them to connect with a(n) 10) inner source of wisdom and meaning. This connection has greatly enriched their lives.A) relieve B) process C) strain D) sustainedE) retreated F) moderate G) enrich H) enhanceI) relief J) access K) restrain L) reversedM) deliberate N) inner O) worshiping参考答案：1) retreated 2) worshiping 3) sustained 4) relieve 5) deliberate 6) restrain 7) enhance 8) process 9) relief 10) innerThere was a time when real men couldn’t show much interest in how a home looked inside except the garage or basement workshop. Interior (内部的) design was once supposed to be the 1) exclusive task for wives. However, if you visit decoration showrooms today, you will find that it is 2) evident that something has changed.Men’s interest began to shift indoors when modern technology became 3) prevailing in media rooms with all that computer stuff. Hot tubs also 4) stimulated men’s imaginations, and got them into the bathroom. New kitchen 5) devices were as difficult to handle as cars, and guys began to find them fascinating, too. As for the bedroom, that 6) tended to be the last preserve (专利) of the wife. However, 7)elaborate beds that promised a better night’s sleep soon became a popular topic across the country, and 8) inevitably attracted a great deal of attention from men.The roles of men and women have changed and there’s a less 9) rigid division between who’s on top at work and who rules the home, so that, today, the home is often a gender-equal space. Both men and women work, both 10) devote their attention and enthusiasm to home interior and both see home as a peaceful place.A) elaborate B) rigid C) confined D) prevailingE) evident F) tended G) scarcely H) processesI) deliberate J) exclusive K) stimulated L) confidentM) devote N) inevitably O) devices参考答案：1) exclusive 2) evident 3) prevailing 4) stimulated 5) devices 6) tended 7) elaborate 8) inevitably 9) rigid 10) devote。

French forces now control Kidal airport after a number of aircraft, including helicopters, landed there last night. Islamist militants were reported to have already left the town and it was unclear who was in charge. France—the former colonial power in Mali—launched a military operation this month after Islamist militants appeared to be threatening the south. French army spokesman confirms that "French troops were deployed部署overnight in Kidal". One regional security source told the Press that French aircraft had landed at Kidal and that protection helicopters are in the sky. Kidal, 930 miles north-eastof the capital Bamako ['b?m?k?u]巴马科, was until recently under the control of the Islamist militants.1. What is the situation now in Kidal according to the news?2. Why did the French launch the military operation?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.These days, German government has been criticized for not doing enough to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I. Germany has spent less on events than some other European countries. And the events which have taken place have been seen as half-hearted by critics.Traditionally in Germany the First World War is overshadowed by the Second World War. History teaching in German schools tends to focus on the crimes of the Nazis rather than what happened a generation earlier. And since 1945 there's been a strong aversion in Germany to anything that might be seen as glorifying militarism. So many people here are uncomfortable with any anniversary of a war or a battle.There's still some disagreement among historians about who was responsible for World War I. But having spent the last 70 years making up for Nazi guilt, many Germans have little appetite to now take on the blame for the First World War, too.3. What makes the German government be criticized recently?4. What's the attitude of German people towards militarism?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.A recent research showed that the global burden of cancer is shifting dramatically. (6) Once considered a disease of the wealthy, it now has a significant impact in every region, and the greatest proportional increases in cases in the coming years are predicted to be in the poorest corners of the world (5). Worldwide, an estimated 14.1 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in 2012 and 8.2 million cancer deaths.In an analysis that maps the world's hot spots for cancer, epidemiologist Lindsey Torre found cancer rates declining inhigh-income countries but rising in lower-income countries.(7) Better screening, early detection and access to treatment plus a decrease in risk factors like smoking probably explain part of the positive trend among the high-income countries.5. What is the main idea of the news?6. What did people think about cancer before this research?7. According to the news, what can possibly help reduce the risk of cancer?New 4-6Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear three news reports.

Smokers will also be prohibited on television broadcast, near hospitals, or in school playgrounds. The law tightens anti-smoking restrictions introduced in 2006. The anti-smoking rules introduced in 2006 outlawed smoking only in the workplace. It let bar andrestaurant owners choose whether or not to allow it. Most chose not to impose any ban. Only large restaurants and bars were obliged to provide a smoke-free area. Now hotel, restaurant, and bar owners have said they could face a ten percent drop in trade with the new rules. The industry has already seen a sharp fall in sales due to Spain's economic problems, but doctors argue the new legislation will help smokers give up.1.

If all goes to plan, Ireland will receive no more financial assistance. It does not mean that the money has been paid off—that will take until 2042.Ireland will still need to borrow—and all the signs are that it will be able to do so in the financial markets at an affordable cost. The country's economy has shown signs of stabilization. It has grown, though unusually, and unemployment is down from its highs. But living standards have been hit—the economy is still 9% smaller than it was six years ago.This is an important stage in the Euro zone's financial repair effort. It certainly helps that the recession in the Euro zone has ended—that the economy of the region as a whole has started to grow again. But it is still vulnerable growth. Europe needs stronger performance to generate the tax revenue that could really help struggling governments get control of their borrowingneeds.5.

The four suspects—two 15-year-old boys, a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year old man—were taken into custody on Saturday, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said. They are accused of causing a severe head injury to a 23-year-old girl who works at a restaurant by stringing a rope between poles across a road.U.S. forces in Japan was informed of the August incident in late October, a public information officer said. There was no clear explanation for the delay in the handover of the suspects to police, otherthan it involved rules between Washington and T okyo covering U.S. forces and their dependents in Japan. The U.S. military presence and its impact on Japanese residents have beena thorny issue over the years.1.What do we know about the victim?2.When did the U.S. forces in Japan know about the incident?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.An Olympics security plan five years in the making is taking shape in Vancouver this week. The Canadian Police is heading up the $900 million security operation, the largest in Canada's history. It will involve 15,000 police, private security and military personnel. The Winter Olympics will take place February 12th to 28th in 2010 in Vancouver. (3) Political protests may pose the biggest threat to the games. The threat of terrorist attack is rated as low. But the memory of the 1972 Munich Olympics has not gone away. That year, a terrorist group attacked the athletes' village, eventually killing 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. (4) It is no coincidence that in Vancouver security patrols are particularly evident around the low-rise apartment buildings, where the athletes will be housed. In downtown Vancouver some roads arealready closed, and rings of security fencing surround some key venues. What's more, 900 surveillance cameras will be put on top of fencing to detect dangers.3.What may be the biggest threat to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games?4.Where is the presence of security patrols most evident?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.The strong emphasis on educational achievement in South East-Asia may be coming at a heavy price.(5) Researchers say that hard work at school plus the lack of exposure to outdoor light is damaging the eyes of almost nine out of ten students—with one in five at serious risk of visual impairment and blindness. (6)The scientists say that young people need up to three hours a day of outdoor light, but many infants are also missing out as they nap during lunch time.The scientists say that genetic factors, long thought to play a big role in shortsightedness, are not as important as the environment. They point to Singapore as a place with several distinct ethnic groups, all of whom are now suffering high levels of shortsightedness.(7)The authors suggest that essential time outdoors should be considered by educational authorities across South-East Asia as a way of dealing with the problem.5.What accounts for the poor eyesight for many South East-Asian students?6.How long do the young people need to be exposed to outdoor light each day?7.What is the main idea of the news?短文1-2Passage OneQuestions 16-18 are based on the passage you have justheard.16.

A) The dog would not eat if his master did not allow him to eat.B) Dogs are used for driving sheep.C) One of the reasons that people in towns still keep dogs is that dogs can be used to look after their children.D) A dog can be everybody’s friend.Section C (20分)16. B 17. B 18. A 19. C 20. D21. C 22. A 23. A 24. D 25. CPassage One“Thank you”means that you appreciate what someone has done for you, very often, very small and most ordinary things. So we in the West thank people all day long. For instance, you will thank the saleswoman after she has attended to you. You will say “Thank you”to the waitress when she brings you a cup of coffee. And a teacher will say “Thank you”to a student who has just answered the question. At home, the husband will thank the wife when she brings him a glass of water.However, too many expressions of gratitude give Westerners the sense of empty thanks, and make them uncomfortable. For example, if an American has spent half an hour helping you write some letters, you will, of course, want to say, “Thank you, I really appreciate your time.”That’s enough. If you go on and on with statements of thanks, and even add “I’m sorry to have wasted so much of your time”, he will feel himself not thanked but annoyed and will not be anxious to help you again. And if he gets really annoyed, he might say, “Well, if you really think that you are wasting my time, you had better stay out of my way.”There is also no need for you to apologize for your not being able to speak good English wherever you go and whomever you meet.The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.16. When doesn’t an American say “Thank you”?17. How does an American feel when he is thanked again and again?18. Which of the following is NOT true?Passage TwoIf you are in a Western country, you’ll often see people walking with their dogs. A dog is themost useful animal in the world, but the reason why one keeps a dog has changed.Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told him to. Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs did not eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens.Now the people in the town and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. They keep them to frighten thieves. But the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Where can we see people walking with their dogs according to the article?20. Why does a child want to keep a dog?21. Which of the following is wrong?短文3-4Passage OneQuestions 16-18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.

A) The one who will be lucky.B) The one who has a cupboard full of useful things.C) The one who hopes to get free goods every day.D) The one who dreams to become a manager.Passage TwoQuestions 19-21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. A) British people.B) Greeks and Persians.C) Egyptians.D) Persians.20. A) They believed that the cat was a god.B) They showed their sadness for a long time.C) They shot arrows.D) They shaved their eyebrows off.21. A) They become even stronger.B) They look like pets.C) They are smaller with smaller brains.D) They weigh 9,000 kilograms.答案16. C 17. A 18. A 19. B 20. D21. C 22. B 23. A 24. D 25. BPassage OneAll the housewives who went to the supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for the shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This may be Your Lucky Day!For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.16. Where did the housewives learn about the offer of free goods?17. What did Mrs. Edwards want very much to do?18. What kind of customer did Mrs. Edwards want to become?Passage TwoIt’s true that the British are a nation of animal lovers, but they are not the first people to be interested in cats, dogs and other creatures. Sometimes men can often be cruel, but sometimes men treat animals better than they treat other people.In ancient Egypt, people believed that the cat was a god. When a cat died, its owners showed their sadness by the strange habit of shaving their eyebrows off! But even 9,000 years ago, the Greeks and Persians had dogs as pets. However, when animals become pets, the result, after a number of generations, is a smaller animal with a smaller brain.The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Who have the longest history of raising animals as their pets?20. What did ancient Egyptians do after their cats died?21. What will happen after animals have become pets for generations?短文5-6Passage FiveQuestions 16-18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16A.Four to six hours.B.Six to nine hours.C.Around eight hours.D.More than eight hours.17A.They may not be able to focus well.B.They may get the feeling of being drunk.C.They may lose much weight in a short period.D.They may suffer from high blood pressure.18A.Training can make people sleep less temporarily./doc/269469642.html,itary people are used to being deprived of sleep.C.People can bank sleep by sleeping more beforehand.D.Sleeping earlier than usual makes people sleep less.Passage SixQuestions 19-21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19A.Exposing skin to sunlight will certainly lead to skincancer.B.UV rays can help lower people's blood pressure.C.Heart attacks and stoke are linked to low blood pressure.D.Bathing in the sun helps build people's mental health.20A.Vitamin DB.UV rays.C.Body temperature.D.Blood pressure.21A.Heart rate.B.Vitamin D levels.C.Body temperature.D.Blood pressure.答案Section C (20分)16. B 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. A 21. BPassage OneWe waste a third of our lives sleeping. When there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day, you yearn to be like the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who was said to get by on just four hours' sleep a night. There is a quite a range in the number of hours we like to sleep. 80% of us manage between six and nine hours a night; the other 20% sleep more or less than this.There is plenty of evidence that a lack of sleep has an adverse effect. We do not simply adjust to it—in the short-term it reduces our concentration, and if it's extreme it makes us confused and distressed, and turns us into such poor drivers of being drunk.The long-term effects are even more worrying. Repeatedly getting less sleep than you need over the course of decades is associated with an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases.But while it might not be possible to train yourself to sleep less, researchers working with the military have found that you can bank sleep beforehand if you plan well in advance. At the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research they had people go to bed a couple of hours earlier than usual every night for a week. When they were subsequently deprived of sleep they didn't suffer as much as the people who hadn't had the chance to bank sleep in advance.16. How much time do most people usually sleep every night?17. What could happen if people didn't get enough sleep fora long time?18. What do the researchers find about the military?Passage TwoThe health benefits of exposing skin to sunlight may far outweigh the risk of developing skin cancer, according to scientists. Edinburgh University research suggests sunlight helps reduce blood pressure, cutting heart attack and stroke risks and even prolonging life. UV rays were found to release a compound which lowers blood pressure. Researchers said more studies would be carried out to determine if it is time to reconsider advice on skin exposure. Heart disease and stroke linked to high blood pressure are estimated to lead to about 80-times more deaths than those from skin cancer in the UK. Production of the pressure reducing compound is separate from the body's manufacture of vitamin D, which rises after exposure to sunshine. Researchers said that until now vitamin D had been thought tosolely explain the sun's benefit to human health.During the research, researchers studied the blood pressure of 24 volunteers under UV and heat lamps. In one session, the volunteers were exposed to both the UV rays and the heat of the lamps. In the other, the UV rays were blocked so that only the heat of the lamps affected the skin. The results showed that blood pressure dropped significantly for one hour following exposure to UV rays, but not after the heat-only sessions. Scientists said that this suggested it was the sun's UV rays that lead to health benefits. The volunteers' vitamin D levels remained unaffected in both sessions. The study will be presented in Edinburgh at the world's largest gathering of skin experts.23. What can be learned from Edinburgh University's research?24. What was thought to be the only element to explain sun9s benefit to human health?25. Which element is said to be unaffected in the research?三、阅读部分1、选词填空（15选10）（四选一）1、第三册第1单元12-13段I suspect not everybody who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don?t entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.The other requirement is energy-a lot of it.

So, powerful is its magic power that people constantly get into the habit of living in that future environment which ads have promised. Advertising employs all the techniques of symbolist art, which may not find its place in the art gallery but works perfectly in the market place. Advertising, with its appeal to every heart, sets up national brands and totems for communal participation. The advertisements give a person the feeling of belonging and importance. It rei nforces the notion that you feel better satisfied if you use well-known brands. Today advertising is a major industry absorbing most of the artistic talent of our world. The connection between artists and advertising is old and profitable. The artistic works are being used to promote the turn over of the industry .More intelligence goes into the design and layout of the ad. Elaborate consumer survey and psychological studies are conducted to establish the exact characteristics of the social groups whose money is to be magically extracted. It is true that advertisements cost a large amount of money, but they represent an investment of multimillion dollars, let alone the appetites they create and the impulses they stir in a vast reader mass, who are the potential investors to the production plants and national sales networks. This is why the design or the layout of the advertisements is geared to the reader mass. In a word, advertising represents the main channel of intellectual and artistic effort in the modern world.完形填空（2）What is jazz? Jazz is vigorous and exciting rhythm and it is one of the freest and most demonstrative forms of musical expression. The lifeblood of jazz is creativity. But how to maintain this freedom of expression in modern times is a problem which jazz confronts. It is, therefore, necessary to know where jazz originated from.The origins of jazz can be credited to the Negro slaves from the west coast of Africa. Viewed in historical perspective, its sounds and moods reflect the struggle and growth of a people. Abolition of slavery gave jazz the force that increased the rate of its development. For twenty years after Abolition, the Negro’s main source of musical expression was still his voice. Then it grew into the blues which were the foundation of jazz. The blues were a rich, social and personal musical language which expressed man’s natural thinking and emotions. After the Civil War, instead of using traditional methods to express himself, the Negro began to use the musical brass instruments to replace the vocal wailing of the blues. He blew the blues into his horn. At the beginning of the twentieth century, jazz spread quickly from New Orleans to the whole country and grew into manhood. Although jazz faced the problem of reduced audience during the Great Depression, its spirit was kept alive everywhere.In the forties jazz developed into modern jazz, which is different from classic jazz. Modern jazz features a style of economy and simplicity, but it also emphasizes emotional qualities. Now jazz has virtually spread across the whole world, some people think it necessary to make jazz become a larger form of composition. However, jazz is substantially different from the composed music. It is primarily an aural music. Its creative nature is dependent upon the ear. Jazz, the symbol of freedom and creativity, cannot be truly written down. Jazz is a creative and spontaneous musicfor the people and by the people.完形填空（3）The scientific study of man can be traced back to ancient times, even beyond Aristotle and Hippocrates to indistinct beginnings. Since Hippocrates, the medical sciences have kept the tradition that combines theory and practice. Hippocrates who taught medicine looked on the adaptation of the doctor to his work, accurate observation of things and the wise construction of a theory as the indispensable parts of effective work in any circumstances. He was opposed to the ancient, traditional myths and superstitions exist in the medical field of his day, and the pretentious systematization of knowledge that lacked solid, objective foundation. However, the social sciences today suffer from the same defects as those of the medical sciences to which Hippocrates was opposed, for social and political myths are everywhere current and the social sciences consist of elaborate speculation on an insufficient foundation of fact.There are two kinds of human behavior.: one is thinking, talking and writing about subjects which are clearly and logically related to concrete observations and experiences; the other kind of behavior is completely the opposite of the former. The medical sciences mainly emphasize classificatory, descriptive and systematic knowledge. Their theories are the result of the combined efforts of a great number of investigators. In the natural sciences, testing of thought by observation and experiment is continuous. Thus, theories and generalizations of all kinds are constantly being corrected, modified and adapted to the salient and recurrent phenomena.However, the systems in the social sciences are different. They lack in special methods and special skills. Neither theories nor descriptive systems develop by adaptation to the increasing knowledge and experience of the scientist, but are derived from the mind of one man. Theories are generally not held in common by all investigators. So disagreement and controversy exist in the social sciences. Thinking in the social sciences suffers chiefly from two defects: One is the fallacy of misplaced concreteness; the other, the intrusion of sentiments into the thinking. These defects make the theories of the social sciences hardly applicable to practice.From the comparative study we can draw the conclusion that the medical sciences are successful in the scientific study of man while the social sciences are not.完形填空（4）As the society becomes more and more affluent, there appears a shrinking of workweek. The average hours worked per week have declined drastically in the last century. This is because there is less urgency for the production of goods as the individuals are less urgently in need of income for their purchase of goods. They may choose to work fewer hours or to work less hard. On the other hand, the industry may recruit fewer workers releasing the old and young of the hard toils. With the rapid change in the labor force, there has emerged a New Class, for whom, work is an important source of satisfaction and is taken for granted that it will be enjoyable. The pay for the job is not the principal motivation but a prime index of prestige-the respect and esteem of others. The overwhelming qualification for a member of the New Class is education, an investment of money, time and energy. It is believed that education will enable them to gain an access to the hierarchical world .Education is ,thus, regarded as the central goal of the society ,But unlike the investment of material capital, the investment of education is less quantitatively measurable and tangible. The product can neither be seen nor valued. Nevertheless, people’s efforts to join the New Class are general and obvious, so the New Class is expanding rapidly. An interesting and rewarding occupation is the aspiration of the society as a whole.翻译(1)科学是一门知识，是解决工业、农业、战争和医疗方面技术问题的非常有用的工具。

Americans view five hours of TV each day, and while weknow that spending so much time sitting 36 can lead to obesity (肥胖症) and other diseases, researchers have now quantified just how 37 being a couch potato can be.In an analysis of data from eight large 38 published studies, a Harvard-led group reported inthe Journal of the American Medical Association that for every two hours per day spentchannel 39 , the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes(糖尿病) rose 20% over 8.5 years, the riskof heart disease increased 15% over a 40 , and the odds of dying prematurely 41 13% duringa seven-year follow-up. All of these 42 are linked to a lack of physical exercise. But comparedwith othersedentary(久坐的) activities, like knitting, viewing TV may be especially 43 atpromoting unhealthy habits. For one, the sheer number of hours we pass watching TV dwarfsthe time we spend on anything else. And other studies have found that watching ads for beerand popcorn may make you more likely to 44 them.Even so, the authors admit that they didn’t compare different sedentary activities to 45 whether TV watching was linked to a greater risk of diabetes, heart disease or early deathcompared with, say, reading.A) climbedB) consumeC) decadeD) determineE) effectiveF) harmfulG) outcomesH) passivelyI) previouslyJ) resumeK) suffered L) surfing M) term N) terminals O) twisting。
