And we all know what that means...it’s that time of year when malls, stores, restaurants, streets, and freeways are busier and crazier than ever. This holiday season, while you’re out shopping and running around, why not go out of your way to say hello to the hotel cleaning person, the flight attendant, the restaurant busperson, the hotel clerk, the garbage collector, the gardener...?A wonderful storyteller by the name of C. W. Metcalf told of a man in the airport who was verbally abusing（辱骂）an airline ticketing agent. The traveler had missed his flight due to mechanical difficulties and was being loud, aggressive, and just plain mean to the poor ticketing agent, who obviously had no control over the plane’s condition. Metcalf went up to the abusive man and asked, “Can I have your autograph?” When the man, puzzled, asked, “Why do you want my autograph?” Metcalf responded, “Because I’ve never met the center of the universe before!”I once had one of those awful flying experiences where flight after flight was delayed. What should have been a three-hour flight turned into a fifteen-hour, multiple-city, exhausting nightmare, causing me to miss meetings in my intended city. At 3 A.M., by the time I was finally within thirty minutes of landing at my destination airport, I suddenly smelled something wonderful: the flight attendants were baking chocolate chip cookies! That sweet, comforting aroma filled the airline cabin, and our small group of 20 passengers waited with anticipation as the flight attendants made their way down the aisle, handing each of us a warm cookie. I instantly abandoned my plans for an enraged（愤怒的）letter-writing campaign against the airline and was effortlessly relieved of all my anger and exhaustion-all by one soft, freshly baked cookie.36. The purpose of the writer is to tell us to _____.A. bring the spirit of humanity into the holiday seasonB. pay respect to those who provide service for usC. keep calm to fully enjoy our holiday seasonD. prepare for whatever difficulites we meet in the holiday season37. Why did Metcalf ask for the traveller’s auto-graph?A. To teach the traveller a good lesson.B. To give the traveller some comfort.C. To make the traveller realize that he was too self-centered.D. To make peace between the traveller and the airline ticketing agent.38. Before the writer was given the warm cookie, he ____.A. was quite hungryB. was very angryC. was terrified from his nightmareD. was eager to go home39. The last paragraph implies that _____.A. understanding is the key to solving conflictsB. there could be nothing better in serving the customersC. forgiveness works better than complaintsD. good service and consideration can help solve the problems40. The writer of the passage would probably agree that _____.A. it’s quite natural for one to get angry in a busy holiday seasonB. it’s necessary to show our appreciation of the service we receiveC. those in service should put the interest of the customers above anything elseD. we shouldn’t make a complaint unless we have enough evidenceBIn 1985, a geography researcher called Atsumu Ohmura at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology got the shock of his life. As part of his studies into climate and atmospheric radiation, Ohmura was checking levels of sunlight recorded around Europe when he made an astonishing discovery. Compared to similar measurements recorded by his predecessors（前辈）in the 1960s, Ohmura’s results suggested that levels of solar radiation striking the Earth’s surface had declined by more than 10% in three decades. Sunshine, it seemed, was on the way out.The finding went against all scientific thinking. When Ohmura eventually published his discovery in 1989 the science world was distinctly unimpressed（未被打动的）. “It was ignored,” he says. It turns out that Ohmura was the first to document a dramatic effect that scientists are now calling “global dimming”. Records show that over the past 50 years the average amount of sunlight reaching the ground has gone down by almost 3% a decade. It’s too small an effect to see with the naked eye, but it has implications for everything from climate change to solar power and even the future sustainability of plant photosynthesis(光合作用).Although Ohmura was the first to report global dimming, he wasn’t alone. In fact, the scientific record now shows several other research papers published during the 1990s on the subject, all finding that light levels were falling significantly. Among them they reported that sunshine in Ireland was on the wane（日益衰落）, that both the Arctic and the Antarctic were getting darker and that light in Japan, the supposed land of the rising sun, was actually falling.Bu t what causes global dimming? The few experts who have studied the effect believe it’s down to air pollution. Tiny particles of soot(煤烟) or chemical compounds like sulphates reflect sunlight and they also promote the formation of bigger, longer lasting clo uds.“The cloudy times are getting darker,” says Cohen, at the Volcani Centre. “If it’s cloudy then it’s darker, but when it’s sunny things haven’t changed much.”41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Goodbye, sunshine!B. The shock of lifeC. An ignored questionD. Atsumu Ohmura and his discovery42. When Atsumu Ohmura made the discovery known, the other scientists _____.A. were greatly shockedB. accepted it in timeC. didn’t take it seriouslyD. were encouraged to do more research on it43. The fourth paragraph mainly intends to _____.A. analyse（分析）which part of the world is most affected by global dimmingB. provide further evidence for Ohmura’s dis-coveryC. report the continuous effect of global dimmingD. show the support given by other scientists to Ohmura44. According to the passage, since 1985, the average amount of sunlight reaching theground has gone down by about _____.A. 3%B. 7%C. 15%D. 20%45. Scientists believe that global dimming is due to _____.A. climate changeB. solar activityC. formation of cloudsD. human activityCGirls like writing and reading; boys like math and science. At least that’s the old idea many people have. But a new survey shows that girls in elementary school actually like math and science better than language arts.Researchers at the University of Miami in Ohio surveyed nearly 2,000 girls in grades 4 through 8 at twenty schools and had them rate their enjoyment of four subjects: science, math, language arts and social studies, on a scale（等级）of 1 (strongly dislike) to 5 (really like).Fourth-grade girls clearly liked science the best; their average enjoyment levels were:● 4.11 for science● 3.85 for math● 3.5 for language arts● 3.49 for social studiesAs girls g et older though, they seem to like science and math less, with science’s average likeability score falling to 3.29 for girls in 8th grade. But these subjects aren’t alone, as girls seemed to lose a little interest in every subject. Likeability for social studies fell to 2.91 for 8th graders. “It doesn’t seem like girls are losing interest in science and mathematics any more than they lose interest in other subjects,” said study team member Jennifer Blue, a physics professor at Miami.Just why girls lose in terest in all these subjects is something researchers haven’t worked out. But the good news, they say, is that girls regain some of their interest in science in college—Miami, for example, has more female botany, microbiology（微生物学）and zoology majors than male majors.46. It’s commonly believed that ______.A. boys are more intelligent than girlsB. boys are more interested in math and science than girlsC. boys and girls like math and scienceD. boys and girls like math and science better than language arts47. The survey was carried out among ______.A. primary school girl studentsB. high school girl studentsC. five gradesD. twenty colleges48. According to the survey result, which subject are fourth-grade girls least interested in?A. Science.B. Math.C. Language arts.D. Social studies.49. Researchers at the University of Miami found in their survey that girls seem to ______.A. be less interested in their studies as they get olderB. regain some of their interest in science as they get olderC. like science better than social studies as they get olderD. like writing and reading better than boys as they get older50. It can be inferred that the researchers at the University of Miami are trying to find out ______.A. the ways to help girls regain their interest in scienceB. the causes why girls lose interest in almost every subjectC. why more female college students are interested in scienceD. why young girls like science better than language artsDMary Schaefer has always been interested in how the human element plays out in what, and how, things get done in the workplace. Mary’s belief is that organizations are composed of unique human beings requiring individual attention in order to make the most of what they can contribute to an organization, and at the same time meet their own specific needs for meaningful work. She formed her company, Artemis Path, to help managers and employees see how they can get more from themselves and each other by working with what makes us human beings—an unexpected resourcefulness and energy that can only come from a respectful and co-operative work environment.Having started as a computer systems analyst, over time she noticed that she was more interested in how people reacted to changing job expectations and a changing work environment, how people reacted to learning new skills, and how to overcome the obstacles to that.As she started pursuing a career in Human Resources and a Master’s in HR, Mary was chosen for several work assignments that allowed her to try out her vision for how people can be more positively engaged in the workplace. She took an active role in leading hundreds of survivors of corporate downsizing to see how they could make positive choices moving forward, rather than be overwhelmed by constant job insecurity.While leading a manufacturing project team made up of several shop-floor employees, Mary worked with every person on her team on their skill-development needs. In just a few years, several were promoted and were able to significantly expand their career possibilities. Mary was recognized for this and more with an award for being a “champion of human potential”.51. Mary Schaefer formed her company Artemis Path to ______.A. help managers employ workersB. develop human resourcesC. solve the problems in the workplaceD. meet people’s needs for meaningful work52. Speaking of work efficiency, Mary Schaefer thinks highly of ______.A. natural environmentB. managers’ role in the teamC. spirit of respect and cooperationD. individual attention53. The underlined word “overwhelm” in Para. 3 is the nearest in meaning to _____.A. defeatB. frightenC. satisfyD. ruin54. In her work, Mary tried to work out the following EXCEPT ______.A. how people reacted to changing job expectationsB. how people reacted to a changing work environmentC. how people get individual attentionD. how people can be more positively engaged in the workplace55. Why did Mary get the title of “champion of human potential”?A. Because she paid attention to the workers’ needs.B. Because she was very successful as a businesswoman.C. Because she treated her employees kindly.D. Because she developed the employees’ potential greatly.四、书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)Japanese o fficials are struggling to prevent the spread of mad cow disease. Japan’s first case ofmad cow was reported in September. The Agriculture Ministry confirmed last month that second cow was infected. Japan is the only country in Asia where mad cow disease is known to have spread. The disease is officially known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis,or BSE.It causes holes in the brains. Cows act strangely before they die. So it is called mad cow disease.Scientists believe cows get the disease by eatine food made form infected animals. Since September, Janpan has banned imports and use of feed made form animal remains. Recently, the Agriculture Ministry announced plans to destroy abort five thousand cows that may have been given the feed.Sales of Japanese beef products have dropped sharply in the past three months. Since Octoter, Japanese officials have tested all cows that are killed for their meat. Some scientists question the testing. They say the disease often cannot be identified in young animals.Scientists say it’s horrible to eat infected meat that may cause a similar brain disease in humans. It cannot be cured.Questions:56. What is mad cow disease officially called?57. How many cases of mad cow disease were reported in Japan according to the report?58. How do cows get the disease?59. Name just one of the measures that have been taken by Japan to prevent the spread of mad cow disease.60.

Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3：00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.A．adventurous B．pleasantC．exciting D．dull解析：选D推理判断题。

What can be more challenging is givin g teenagers their freedom. It can be difficult to draw the line between the two. However, some issues cannot be changed by discussion and require firm rules. For instance, rules should be established concerning driving t he family car.I will admit that I have no problem coming up with rules. To me th ey make life easier and they leave no room for questioning. What can be more difficult, however, is giving my teens their freedom. I guess there are really two primary reasons for this. One is that I sometimes am afrai d to give them freedom. The second is that I’m not always so sure wha t the freedom should be.It helps that I have a husband with whom I can discuss these proble ms. We talk about them, give our thoughts and then we come up with a n agreement. Sometimes one of us might be more unwilling but we knowthat there comes a time when we really do have to learn how to let go of the reins (缰绳) a bit.If we try to make life have nothing but rules, we are more likely to see our teen’s rebelling (抵抗). They need to know that while we do h ave certain expectations, we also trust them to begin making their own c hoices and decisions. How else can they do that unless they are given the space and room to do it?31. According to the first paragraph, it is difficult to decide.A. whether the children need rulesB. whether the children should be given freedomC. how much freedom should be given to childrenD. what issues require non-negotiable rules32. According to the text, we can infer that the author .A. refuses to give her children freedomB. finds it difficult to make rulesC. doesn’t have a good relationship with her childrenD. has trouble in giving freedom to her children33. According to the author, only rules without freedom will make the children .A. strong-willedB. rebelliousC. weakD. indep endent34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Rules are difficult to make for parents.B. Rules and freedom are similarly important.C. We should give children freedom as much as possible.D. Rules are more important than freedom.BIf there ever was a study that people shouldn’t get too little sleep, i t’s this one. People deprived (剥夺) of a good night’s rest are more li kely to experience changes in brain activity that can increase the urge to eat high-calorie foods.Matthew Walker at the University of California in Berkeley and his colleagues conducted the first study of brain activity in relation to food a mong sleep-deprived people. The team used fMRI (功能磁共振成像) to st udy brain patterns of 23 people, first after a night of peaceful sleep and then after a night without sleep.Sleep deprivation reduced activity in three areas of the brain that hel ps process flavor signals. It also led to more activity in the amygdala (扁桃腺), which helps govern the motivation for eating. The team also found that volunteers considered the pictures of high-calorie foods more desirab le after no sleep than after a good rest.When the researchers compared people allowed to sleep as much as t hey wished with those who slept just two-thirds of their normal time, the y found that sleep deprivation had direct effects on eating behavior. “Wh en people were sleep deprived, they ate an extra 549 calories per day,”s ay the researchers.“It may make evolutionary sense,”says Laurent Brondel at the Uni versity of Burgundy in Dijon, France. The long summer days at higher la titudes deprive animals of sleep, but animals use their time awake to eat more, which helps them get through the short days of winter when there is not enough food.“That’s only part of the story, though,”says Stephanie Greer, ano ther member of the team. The body does need more energy if someone r emains awake for longer, but the high-calorie foods that become more des irable after sleep deprivation would more than meet this additional need. The changes in food desirability encouraged by the sleep-deprived brainmay originally have been important adaptation but today they no longer b enefit our health.Brondel agrees with this conclusion. “Sleep deprivation could, by an unknown mechanism, modify the pleasant sensation and change eating beh avior,”he says. Whatever the mechanism is, there’s one clear message from the study. “These findings provide opportunities to adjust our behav ior in new ways to handle such health issues,”says Greer. “Specifically, our study indicates that one choice people can make is to regularly obtai n enough amounts of sleep.”35. Matthew Walker conducted the study on sleep-deprived people to _____.A. learn more about sleep patternsB. warn of the danger of high-calorie foodsC. show the importance of getting enough restD. find the relation between brain activity and food36. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. sleep-deprived people lost the motivation for eatingB. sleep deprivation sped up the processing of flavor signalsC. sleep deprivation had effects on the appetite for high-calorie foo dsD. sleep-deprived people were uninterested in the pictures of tasty food37. Which of the following is the correct cause-and-effect relationshi p?A. Sleep deprivation →Eating behavior →Brain activityB. Sleep deprivation →Brain activity →Eating behaviorC. Brain activity →Sleep deprivation →Eating behaviorD. Eating behavior →Brain activity →Sleep deprivation38. What does the author mean by saying “That’s only part of the story”in Paragraph 6?A. High-calorie foods can provide extra energy.B. Sleep deprivation is not good for human health.C. Sleep-deprived people are in need of more energy.D. Sleep deprivation is helpful in the evolution of animals.CPersonal growth can be understood in a variety of ways. Type “pers onal growth”into a book search and you will find thousands of books t o choose from to help you reach your full potential. It’s so easy to treat personal development as something that is optional and so few people e ver take the time to actively improve themselves. On the other hand, you may have been developing as a person, but never consider it as somethi ng that can be named.Personal growth and self-development are some of the most important activities you can do. Rather than regarding this as a selfish act, workin g on yourself to become a better person benefits those around you, as we ll as those in your community and workplace.Many of your actions may already be fit for “self-improvement”. T his self-improvement, however, is mostly unconscious and for most people it’s a case of pursuing “things”and “stuff”with the all-too-commo n assumption that when we get enough stuff, we will be happy. You do n’t have to search too far to find how wrong this theory is.Every day we read about seemingly successful people, those who “h ave it all”and find themselves in a chain of unhappy relationships or lif e events, which sadly end in tragedy. Charles Atlas, the famous body buil der, said, “True success lies in the development of the self.”This is a surprising philosophy (哲理) for someone who spent his life developing th e physique (体格).Materially, we may be wealthy or poor, but if your inner life is not fulfilled, you will feel out of balance with the rest of your life and may try to make for this by seeking substance elsewhere —alcohol, over-wor king, drugs and unhealthy relationships.What does my true self look like when I take away my house, car, etc.? Note down your goals as a person. Do you recall what they were 1 0, 20, or even 30 years ago? Have they changed or got lost on the way? Now imagine yourself as an older person. What do you want to look li ke, sound like and feel like? Is this OK with you or would you like to change this picture? Answering these questions will give you clues regardi ng where you could work on your personal growth.Personally speaking, I see my own personal growth as developing m y creativity and spirituality, while building a healthy body as my 40s pro gress. It sounds like a big task, but I break this down to bite-sized piece s, such as making some specific changes in eating and exercise patterns, going to a yoga class, picking up one of my many unused paintbrushes a nd just painting something rather than taking an art school course, and su ddenly that’s achievable.Set out your goals, first steps and plan of where and how you are g oing to carry them out. Get the support of a friend or family member to encourage you and review your progress every three months or so to ke ep you on track. Just start with small but meaningful changes that you n otice, and if it feels strange, remember that change often does. Remember you’re making these changes for long-term personal gain, so it’s quite natural to feel a little uncomfortable at first, but be persistent, review you r plan and adapt. This is your plan for growth, which can be changed and adapted to your circumstances.39. As for the self-improvement, .A. most people do it well in their daily lifeB. most people in fact regard it as a selfish actC. most people consider it means building a healthy lifeD. most people think it is trying to achieve enough stuff40. According to the passage, a real successful person is one.A. who has spent his life doing businessB. who does feel happy in his inner worldC. who has gathered a great amount of wealthD. who has made friends with many famous people41. How does the author develop his personal growth?A. He is always imagining himself as an old person.B. He spares his time to take an art school course.C. He improves himself both in creativity and spirituality.D. He manages to collect many second-hand paintbrushes.42. We can conclude from the passage that .A. personal growth is important in our lifeB. most people don’t believe personal growthC. the author is the most successful manD. personal growth determines your goalsDWe will one day be able to talk to animals using cellphone-sized eq uipment, says a leading expert in animal behavior. Professor Slobodchikoff is developing new technology that translates the calls of the prairie dog (草原犬鼠) and says the technology can be used to translate other animal s’“languages”. He also suggested that the technology could one day b e improved to enable humans to talk back to animals.He explained that from his research, he knew that prairie dogs warn other members of the group about potential dangers in great detail —even describing a threat as being “a thin, brown wolf approaching quickly”.The professor, who had spent the past 30 years analyzing the behavi or of animals, added, “I think the equipment we are developing will allo w us to talk to our dogs and cats. So the dog says ‘bark!’and the eq uipment analyzes it and says, ‘I want to eat chicken tonight.’Or the c at can say ‘meow’, and the equipment says, ‘You haven’t cleaned m y litter box recently.’”He predicted that it would take between five and ten years of wide-ranging research to get to this point.He believed that if such technology became a reality, it would chang e the world. Consider that 40 percent of all households in America have dogs, 33 percent have cats. And consider that four million dogs are killed every year because of the problems of behavior. Most problems are caus ed by the lack of communication between animals and human beings. Hu man beings can’t get across to animals what they expect, and animals ca n’t get across to human beings what they are experiencing. If we had a chance to talk back and forth, the dog could say, “You’re scaring me.”And you could say, “Well, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that I was scar ing you. I’ll give you more space.”“What I’m hoping, actually, is that down the road, we will form p artnerships with animals rather than exploit (利用) them,”Professor Slobo dchikoff said. He added that many people are afraid of animals or they h ave nothing to do with them because they don’t think that animals have anything to contribute to their lives.He says, once people are able to talk to animals, they will realize th at animals are living, breathing, thinking beings, and that they have much to contribute to people’s lives.Previous attempts to help human understand animals include the Bow Lingual. The Japanese equipment claims to translate barks from dozens ofdifferent breeds (品种) of dogs. The equipment was successful enough to be brought to the American market. But reports of the BowLingual’s ac curacy have been mixed, with popular product-review website Epinions gi ving it a low 1.5 star average. Later the same company developed a follo wing product for cats called Meowlingual although this was less successfu l.43. Professor Slobodchikoff is developing the new technology by.A. recording prairie dogs’barks with a tape recorderB. talking to prairie dogs using cellphone-sized equipmentC. teaching prairie dogs to speak English via advanced softwareD. recording and analyzing prairie dogs’barks with AI technology44. What does the underlined part “this point”in the fourth paragr aph refer to?A. Detailed analysis of animals’behaviors.B. Effective communication between dogs and cats.C. Humans using the equipment to talk with dogs and cats.D. Humans using AI technology to communicate with all animals.45. According to the passage, Professor Slobodchikoff expects people to .A. make full use of animalsB. treat animals as good partnersC. experience what dogs must experienceD. contribute a lot to the protection of animals46. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Humans aren’t able to talk to animals now.B. Some people think the Bowlingual is not very accurate.C. Professor Slobodchikoff has full confidence in his research.D. Large quantities of dogs are killed due to the increase in numb er.EGlaciers in the Alps of Europe pose a scientific mystery. In a span of about 50 years, some of the biggest glaciers retreated more than half a mile. But nobody could explain the glaciers’rapid decline.Scientists trying to understand Europe’s climate for the past several hundred years have turned to the glaciers in the Alps because they kept r ecords of temperature and precipitation (降雨量) during that time.“If you look back through the 1600s and the 1700s, the glaciers we re big and quite stable,”says Tom Painter. That’s probably because Eur ope was in a prolonged cold spell, known as the Little Ice Age. “And t hen around the 1860s, the glaciers all started to retreat to the length that they had not in the previous few hundred years,”he says.Some historians think that retreat marks the end of the Little Ice Ag e. But there’s a problem: Europe didn’t actually heat up until the 1910 s or the 1920s. In fact, if you go by just air temperature and precipitatio n, the glaciers should have advanced, not retreated. So why did the glac iers start to melt?“It dawned on me that industrialization was starting then,”Painter says. “We have these visions from Charles Dickens and others of that ti me —the mid-1800s —of a huge amount of soot (煤烟) being pumped out into the atmosphere, not just in England but in France and Germany and Italy.”Painter’s previous research has shown that dust blowing onto the Ro cky Mountains is making the snow melt much faster there because dark s now absorbs more sunlight. He found a record of soot from ice samples higher up in the mountains. And he thinks there was human influence.“Industrial pollution from Europe wasn’t blowing onto Iceland or Norway, which remained cold and frosty,”says Gifford Miller. “Maybe it gave the Alpine folks in Switzerland and the Italian Alps a head start i n cultivating highlands again,”he says. Could that be why we have Swi ss milk chocolate today instead of Norwegian chocolate? “Could be,”M iller says, with a chuckle. Actually, it turns out that the Swiss did invent milk chocolate a decade or two after the glaciers started to give way to more pastureland (牧场), so the soot idea is not an entirely crazy idea.But Miller learns a much bigger lesson from understanding how soot and dust can bring about quick changes to the world’s glaciers. “Thin gs that impact on the climate system in an abrupt way are the things that people should be concerned about for the future.”47. The underlined phrase “go by”in Para.4 probably means “___ __”.A. get back toB. look forC. obey the rules ofD. judge from48. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. Alpine glaciers had melted before industrializationB. snow on the Rocky Mountains melted faster because of dustC. the melting of glaciers has nothing to do with human influenceD.

Swiss chocolate was better than Norwegian chocolateC. the Alpine folks didn’t benefit from rapid industrializationD. the melting of glaciers had a great impact on the life of the S wiss50.

ABaby sign language is a growing movement.Pointing to a colorfulflower, Tricia Campbell lifts her baby’s soft hand, and rapidlymoves it from one side of his nose to the other as she sniffs (嗅)loudly.“Flower！”she says loudly.Gregory smiles, lookscarefully and says happily, “Flower！”It could be a year beforeGregory, 4 months old, can speak, but now his mother hopes tocommunicate with her baby through sign language.Like others around the world, Campbell is part of a growing movement of parents teaching hearing babies simple signs to communicate before they can talk.The baby sign language has been more popular in recent years.The movie，“Meet the Fockers”，where Robert De Niro’s character teaches his young grandson to sign, makes it well developed.Babies generally begin to talk between 12 and 15 months, but babies can use sign language to communicate before they learn how to speak.“They are understanding w ords before they are able to say them.From around 16 to 18 months, they might say 50 words but understand 200.They understand short sentences well.”says McRoberts.Studies have shown deaf children learn to use sign language earlier than hearing children learn to speak meaningfully.As to whether hearing babies can communicate earlier with sign language, McRoberts says，“I think that’s still unknown.It may not.I’m very interested in that very question.”1．In the whole passage, the first paragraph is written to ________．A．show how Tricia Campbell taught her son “flower”B．show Gregory can use baby sign languageC．introduce baby sign languageD．mean baby sign language is easy to learn答案C[写作意图题。

While the number of US students in China has grown from less than 100 in the early 1980s to more than 10,000 currently, many of them are here to learn a professional skill as much as to enjoy a new culture.“In the past, foreign students came to China merely for our culture,” said Xu Qiuhan, director of BLCU’s foreign students office. “But because of China’s rapid economic and social development, being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to students’ future careers”She says her university, which attracts the largest number of foreign students in China, has witnessed a soaring number of US students in the past three years.And there are more US students who choose to stay in the country instead of going back after graduation, Xu said.More than 15,000 students in the United States are learning Chinese online with China’s E-language learning system, said Cen Jianjun, deputydirector-general of the Department of International Exchanges and Co-operation at the Ministry of Education in Beijing.He also mentioned that more than 1,500 US secondary schools have expressed an interest in the advanced placement Chinese Course and Exams.“And US President Bush’s National Securily Language Initiative, which was announced in January, will further promote the teaching and learning of Chinese in the United States,” he said.56．Why are there more and more US students choosing to study in China?A．Because China is one of the four countries with ancient civilization in the world.B．Because being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to students’ future careers.C．Because they just want to have a Chinese cultural experience.D．Because Chinese are warm-hearted to US students.57．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．After graduation, all the US students will go back to their own country.B．After graduation, all the US studensts will find a job in a local government.C．Many US students will choose to work in China instead of going back.D．Only half of the US students go back to their own country after graduation.58．From the last three paragraphs, we can know that .A．there is growing interest in learning Chinese in the United States.B．US students start to learn Chinese Course when they are in primary school.C．every student in the United States can learn Chinese through theInternet.D．more Chinese graduates will be sent to teach Chinese in the United States.59．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The US students in China.B．The rapid development of China’s economy.C．Studying in China is key to future careers for US students.D．The future of Chinese culture.60．At present, foreign students come to China .A．merely for Chinese cultureB．only to learn to speak ChineseC．in order to find a good job and work there for everD．not only to enjoy a new culture but to learn a professional skill.BA high school teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” Experience teaches that he was right. Good friendships are just not easily formed. Why?One reason may relate to the mobility in our society. Mr Darrell Sifford, a news columnist, has been studying friendship for many years. He reports the thoughts of one woman on this aspect of friendships:“She was nine, and her family had just moved to New Jersey, and she didn’t know anybody. Her mother said to her, ‘Amelia, I know you’re feeling bad because you don’t have any friends. But you can fix that. Just walk across the street －I know there’s a girl about your age over there －and knock on the door and ask her to be your friend.’“She added that the direct approach always worked when she was a child. But as she left childhood, she found that the simple direct approach was more and more difficult for her to follow. As an adult, Amelia longed to have friends but her hands were tied. The problem, according to her, is that society teaches us in a number of ways that direct action is not acceptablt behavior. We need to be less direct to cushion ourselves against possible rejection and the fright （吃惊）of exposing our own helplessness.”What are some of the obstacles to friendships? According to Mr Sifford, the greatest is the temptation（诱惑）to expect too much too soon. Deep relationshios take time. Another big difficulty is the selfish tendency（趋向）to think one “possesses”the other, with an almost exclusive right to his time and attention. Similarly, friendships require two-sided actions. In brief, you must give as much as you take. Finally, unless you spend reasonable time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will not last.Why is it so difficult to form friendships? Perhaps the answer has something to do with the impatient temperament(急躁)of some American people. It is possible, as Mr Sifford states, that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to develop. However, there can be no disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendships we want. As in all interpersonal relationships, success depends on clarity of purpose, openness to others, and a willingness to experiment. 61．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean?A．Something that makes it difficult for you to do or achieve sth.B．Something that makes it easy for you to do or achieve sth.C．Something that makes it difficult for you to understand sth.D．Something that makes it easy for you to do or understand sth. 62．The author obviously wanted to talk about .A．how to treat good friends B．obstacles to friendshipsC．how to make good friends D．different friendships63．It can be implied that adults don’t make friends in a direct approach because .A．they are afraid to be rejected by othersB．they are afraid to expose their rudenessC．they think it is impolite behaviourD．their hands are tied tightly together64．In which of the following cases is it possible for you to develop true friendships?A．You stay in one place for long enough with your friend.B．You spend all your time together with your friend.C．You completely possess your friend’s time and attention.D．You give your friend as much as you take from him.65．The author quoted many times what Mr Darrell Sifford said in order to .A．show respect for himB．share the same opinion with himC．strengthen the authority of his opinionD．make some comments about friendshipsCMuch meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at astranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary time, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others’ staring at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rube and aggressive（好斗的）. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert（转移）his gaze, his intentions are obvious:he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. As for the listener, he will, to a certain extent, look continuously at the speaker, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate（控制）you, you will feel upset. A poor liar usually exposes（暴露）himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

Since most people drive 10,000 miles a year, that’s about 10 years.The way you take care of your car makes a difference. Tami’s car has more than 100,000 miles on it. Yet, it runs great. He takes really good care of it. Here are Tami’s some suggestions of taking care of cars.▲Your car will last longer if you take it to the mechanic when it needs repairing. You can check the oil yourself. It just takes a second to pull out the dipstick（量油计）and have a look. The dipstick shows the level of oil in your car. If you drive without oil, you will destroy your engine rapidly.▲You should check the tires often. That’s really important. Checking the tires means . Ask someone at a gas station to show you how to use the air-hose pump（气泵）.▲You should also check the tire tread（外胎花纹）. The tread is the marks on the top part of the tire. It should stick out from the tire. If the tread has worn down and the tire is smooth, you are in danger. Your tire won’t hold the road.▲It is a good idea to wax（打蜡）your car at least once a year. This will keep it from getting rusty（生锈的）and dull-looking. If you want to sell your car, you need to keep it looking good.▲Besides, there is another simple way to make your car last a long time: drive easy. Don’t drive as fast as you can. Also, don’t drive hard. Which means starting off fast and turning fast. If you drive easy, it is safer,and you will have your car longer.76．What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words.)77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?Getting your car waxed at least once a year is good to keep your carin good condition.78．Please fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)79．Which way do you think is the best one to keep your car in good condititon? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.)80．Translate the underlined sentence in the second paragraph into Chinese.第二节书面表达（满分30分）唐太宗李世民是中国历史上一位很有作为的皇帝。

A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口).The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty-metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man-made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.36. What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea?A. The city was to be designed together with a harbor.B. The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.C. The building of the city would rest on a floating island.D. The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall.37. How would fresh water be supplied to the city?A. By treating sea water.B. By getting it from the surrounding islands.C. By building a small lake of fresh water inside the city.D. By transporting it from the mainland.38. The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _______.A. there is not enough space for building cities on landB. land transportation has became increasingly difficultC. there are too many people on landD. present cities are heavily polluted by cars39. The purpose of the writer is _______.A. to suggest how new type of harbor could be built at seaB. to give a description of a new-type cityC. to draw people's attention to the problem of air pollutionD. to introduce a new way of building harbor-citiesBHow to OrderOrdering from BooksFirst is easy and safe.Selecting Your BooksWhen you have found a book you would like to order, just click on Add to Basket and it will be added to your shopping basket.

In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school.Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high school, which have students from about age 13. 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.44. The main idea of the passage is that in the US schools _______.A. students enjoy shootingB. students are eager to be soldiersC. safety is a problemD. students can make guns45. From what Richard Riley said we can infer that ________.A. the number of the expulsions is not largeB. the number of the expulsion is wrongC there are soldiers hiding among the studentsD. guns are out of control in US schools46. The main idea of paragraph four shows us ______.A. some examples of shoot in US schools.B. the American's feeling.C. some famous schools.D. that some teachers were killed by students.47. From this passage we get to know that ________.A. every American cannot have gunsB. only soldiers and police can have gunsC. every American citizen can own gunsD. teachers have no money to buy gunsDAll over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean(巨大的) task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of mankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to desktop that the present Internet may not match.Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without refusing the demands of those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript（手稿）of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the Manuscript with three different light sources and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to use.A second benefit is convenience. Once books are changed to digital form, readers can find them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can read the same book or view the same picture at the same time. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could use the Internet to lend their collections to those who are unable to visit in person.The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters ofspace on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. The cost of library buildings is increasingly high. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $ 46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books----an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, on the contrary, has fallen to about $ 2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.48. What is the message in the first paragraph?A. More people can read precious books.B. The Internet provides more information.C. Libraries are making efforts to preserve books.D. Libraries are making digital copy of books.49. Which words in the second paragraph help you to identify the supporting points?A. three, First, for exampleB. benefits, manuscript, scholarsC. helps, holds, scannedD. clear, qualified, different50. Which of the following is mentioned in the text as benefits of going digital?A. Fewer staff will be required in libraries.B. Libraries will be able to move underground.C. Borrowers need not go to the library building.D. Old manuscripts can be moved more easily.51. How is the text organized?A. Opinion –DescriptionB. Message –ExplanationC. Main idea –ComparisonD. Introduction –ConclusionEWell, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard. I don't really understand how it happened, but it did. I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn't see another day, but I always thought I'd overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat's lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn't see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I'd never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate——and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help!”and they heard me. Then another yacht appeared. These guys were terrific. They gave me dry clothes, and then one jumped into the bunk and hung onto me. They covered us with as much dry clothing as they could, and the guy in with me stayed to transfer his bodyheat to me.52. The author of the passage was alone in the sea NOT because ______.A. the wind was too strongB. the wave hit the boatC. the safety belt was brokenD. his boat was in the darkness53. He was not saved by his crew because _______.A. he didn't yell out “Help!”B. 300 meters was long distanceC. he was not foundD. he didn't see the spotlight54. It was inferred from the passage that _______.A. he was swept overboard at about midnightB. Wild One was the name of a crew memberC. he started ocean racing at about sevenD. he was too hopeless to take the last chance55. One of the guys who saved him jumped into the bunk in order to ________.A. cover him with more dry clothesB. warm him with his body heatC. comfort himD. congratulate himIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误.对标题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误，在该行右边的横线上划（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉. 此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（^），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词.此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词. 注意：原行没有错的不要改.Last night I was getting ready for the coming examination 56.when the noise from my neighbor interrupts me.
