AWhen I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.Still, her answer surprised me, “Green tea.”As long as I can remember she didn't even drink Indian tea.I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.At the turn of the century,China was not really familiar to the average Indians. It was a strange country.How things change! And how soon!Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investments(投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.But it's_a_two-way_street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago,was expected to hit about $15 billion for last year and $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.No wonder,my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印) century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.1. Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?A. She was tired of Indian tea.B. She had a son working in China.C. She believed it had a curing effect.D. She was fond of Chinese products.2. What does the author mean by “it's a two-way street” in Paragraph 10?A. China and India have different traffic rules.B. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.C. Chinese products are popular in both China and India.D. The exchanges between India and China benefit both.3. What do we know about the Indian IT industry?A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen.B. It is seeking further development in China.C. It has attracted an investment of $15 billion.D. It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.4. In the text the author expresses ________.A. his concern for his mother's healthB. his support for drinking Chinese green teaC. his surprise at China's recent developmentD. his wonder at the growth of India's IT industryBI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲); it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live.I learned to live many years ago. Something really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all: I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, bytelling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.5. The best title of this passage probably ________.A. Love Your FriendsB. Live a Real lifeC. Don't Waste TimeD. Be a Good Mother and Wife6. How did the author form her view of life?A. By working and social experience.B. By learning from her friends.C. Through an unfortunate experience.D. From her children and husband.7. The underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live.” in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as “________”.A. it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real lifeB. it is very hard to live a real lifeC. it is so easy to make a livingD. it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life8. What's the author's attitude toward work?A. Do it well to serve others.B. To earn enough money to make life better.C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.D. Don't let it affect your real life.CTravelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions.●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on shortnotice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. S tick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.●Work as you go: Need more money to suppor t your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.●Pack necessary th ings: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. bargains-lowest- and www. Economic-travel. com.By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.9. This passage is mainly about ________.A. how to plan your travelB. how to travel with enough moneyC. how to make your travel interestingD. how to get life experiences10. Before your trip, the first thing you should do is ________.A. to buy tickets in advanceB. to make a plan of the routeC. to save money by spending lessD. to get information on the Internet11. During your trip, ________.A. you need more shoes than clothesB. you shouldn't look for work all the wayC. you can gain valuable life experiencesD. you should forget to do your homework12. The author of the passage advises you ________.A. to go to lesser-known areaB. not to visit dangerous placesC. to share costs with any other peopleD. to buy anything you want to buyDWhy does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition — a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives.Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery. Both are emulsions — tiny globules(小球体) of one, liquid evenly distributed throughout another. The difference lies in what's in the globules and what's in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.In cream,fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture. “This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says.When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments(分隔间) buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients(养料). They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products: “In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing,” says Brocklehurst.The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food's structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump.13. The significance of Brocklehurst's research is that ________.A. it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservativesB. it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butterC. it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butterD. it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition14. According to the researchers, cream sours faster than butter because bacteria ________.A. are more evenly distributed in creamB. multiply more easily in cream than in butterC. live on less fat in cream than in butterD. produce less waste in cream than in butter15. The underlined word “colonies” (Line 2, Para 4) refers to ________.A. tiny globulesB. watery regionsC. bacteria communitiesD. little compartments第二节(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。

Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches , and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way .First , pruning may be done to make sure that trees have desired shape or size . The object may be to get a tree of the right height , and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches , which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape . Secondly , pruning may be done to make the tree healthier . You may cut out diseased or dead wood , or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds . The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air .One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease , but it is a wound that will heal (愈合) . Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die , so that there is a period when the tree is at risk . It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible . It is important to make the area , which has been pruned , smooth and clan , for healing will be slowed down by roughness . You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the materials available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose . Pruning is usually done in winter , for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference (妨碍) from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed . If this does happen , it is , of course , impossible to paint them properly .26.Why should running be done ?A.To make the tree grow taller . B.To improve the shape of the tree .C.to get rid of the small ranches . D.To make the small branches thicker . 27.Trees become unhealthy if the gardener .A.To help a wound to dry .B.To cover a rough surface .C.damages some of the small side branchesD.Allows too many branches to grow in the middle28.Why is a special material painted on the tree ?A.To help a wound to dry . B.to cover a rough surface .C.To make a wound smooth . D.To prevent disease entering a wound . 29.A good gardener prunes a tree .A.several times throughout the year B.as quickly as possibleC.occasionally when necessary D.regularly every winter30.What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage ?A.To discuss different methods of pruning .B.To introduce some common knowledge of pruning .C.To explain how trees develop disease .D.To give practical instruction for pruning a tree .第二节信息匹配(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)下面是一篇报纸上的文章,请将标有A—E的段落插入文章中标号为61—65的适合位置,使这篇文章意义完整,结构连贯。

ANo artist has affected modern art more than Pablo Picasso.The thousands of masterpieces he had created changed the way people thought about art.Picasso was perhaps the most talented and successful artist who ever lived.Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town on the southern coast of Spain.His father was a painter who taught art.Picasso showed exceptional talent at an early age and,by the time he was in his teens,painted better than his father or any of the local art teachers.At sixteen,Picasso was sent to the Royal Academy of Madrid,where students drew from plaster casts and copied works of the old masters.Picasso felt these assignments were pointless and began to work on his own.Picasso’s father soon became angry with his son’s rebellious behaviour,long hair,and strange clothes.He believed that Picasso was wasting his talent and scolded him,“Why don’t you cut your hair and paint sensibly?”In 1900,Picasso left for Paris—then the center of the art world.He lived in a cold,run-down building,painting constantly,sometimes surviving for days on only a piece of bread.During these years,his art reflected his dismal(凄凉的)surroundings.Homeless outcasts were the subject of many of his fairly realistic early paintings.After seeing African masks and sculptures,his works became more simplified and angular(有角的)leading up to the revolutionary new style known as Cubism(立体主义).Picasso didn’t sell many of his works during these early years.On May 8,1995,Picasso’s AngelFernanadezdeSoto was sold at auction for $29 million.The next day BluePeriod,one of his later works,sold for $5 million.But he worked continuously,always experimenting with different styles of painting.Though Picasso lived to be ninety-two and became the most famous artist in the world,he spoke ofhis youthful days in Paris as “the happiest time of my life”.1This passage mainly discusses .A.Picasso’s Cubism as a revolutionary style in artB.Picasso as a rebel and his artC.Picasso’s life and painting in ParisD.Picasso’s influences on the development of modern art答案:B解析:主旨大意题。

BShe is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But,at nearly 500 years of age,time is catching up with the MonaLisa.The health of the famous picture,painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505,is getting worse by the year,according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.“The thin,wooden panel on which the MonaLisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said.Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy.Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current (现在的) chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the MonaLisa every year,many attracted by the mystery of her smile.“It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her,she seems to be smiling,and then you look at her and she stops,” said Prof essor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University.“It’s because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up details,but less suited to looking at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However,the actual history of the MonaLisa is just as mysterious as the smile.Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him,until it was eventually sold to the king of France,Francis Ⅰ,in 1519.In 1911,the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee,who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.He said he planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.During World War Ⅱ,French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies,the MonaLisa has some interesting stories to tell.5The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the MonaLisa.A.is losing its valueB.is being damaged after so many yearsC.is getting more valuable with years passingD.will rot away答案:B解析:句意理解题。
