Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an unbelievable 250,000 over the past ten years.A drunken driver is usually defined（界定）as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within 2 hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American life and judges were merciful in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused to many well-publicized unfortunate events, especially including young children, that public opinion is no longer so merciful.Twenty states have raised the lawful drinking age to 21, but in the 1960s some states wanted to reduce it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-to-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.Some people, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless followed by educational programs to help young people to develop “right attitudes”about drinking and teach them to control themselves.Tough new laws have led to increased arrests（逮捕）and tests and in many areas already, to a marked reduction in death. Some states are also fining bars for serving customers too many drinks.A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk”and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.As the serious accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national Prohibition（禁止）of alcohol（酒精）that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment ”. They forgot that the prohibition （禁止）didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption（腐败）and organized crime. Just like the drug trade, there is no easy way to deal with it.36. Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because_______.A.most Americans are heavy drinkersB.Americans are now less shocked by road accidentsC.accidents attract so much publicityD.drinking is a socially accepted habit in America37. The news from New Jersey suggested that _____.A.many drivers were not of lawful ageB.young drivers were often had driversC.the level of drinking increased in the 1960sD.the lawful drinking age should be raised38. Laws recently introduced in some states have_____.A.reduced the number of the drunken driversB.resulted in more serious accidentsC.prevented drivers from drinkingD.prevented bars from serving drunken customers39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Alcohol is easily obtained.B.Drinking is connected with organized crime.C.The Prohibition succeeded.D.Raising the lawful drinking age is a way to solve the whole problem.BThe year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet（彗星）is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound . The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?40. What is mainly described in the passage?A. A historic discoveryB. An event of imaginationC. A research on spaceD. A scientific adventure41. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes _____.A. an earthquakeB. damages to citiesC. an Earth explosionD. huge waves42. Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?A.Because the land is covered with water.B.Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.C.Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.D.Because wars break out among countries.43. By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove______.A.animals could not live in the cold climate.B.What happened 65 million years ago was an invented storyC.The human beings will die out in 2094D.The Earth could be hit by other objects in space.CThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration is in a difficult situation over cloned animals. The group tentatively（试验性地）concluded in late October that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat, exciting farmers who are developing clones of cows and other creatures. But almost immediately, one of the FDA’s advisory committees sharply questioned the conclusion and the science behind it.In evaluating（评估）food from cloned animals, the group carried out two tests in October.One test, it said, compared clones at different stages of life to healthy ordinary animals to determine whether they appear the same. The second and more exact test could include tests on the meat and milk o f clones.When the FDA concluded that cloned animals appeared to be safe to eat, critics pointed out that the group seemed to depend almost only on the first test.“Most of the things we evaluate for safety, we can tell what the risk might be,”said Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine.“When you are talking about cloning, it’s very different because we have not been able to recognize a particular danger.”Joseph Mendelson, legal（法定的）director for the non-profit（非营利的）Center for Food Safety, called the FDA’s report a very strange one for its lack of research. “Healthy animals equal safe food. I agree with that on some level,”Mendelson said. “But we don’t know if these animals are healthy. What if they appear healthy, and there’s some metabolic（新陈代谢的）difference that’s caused by a genetic fault? They don’t have those studies.”44. What does the passage mainly discuss?A.Whether food from cloned animals is safe to eat.B.Food from cloned animals is certainly safe to eat.C.Cloned animals can provide enough food to solve the food problemD.Only science can decide whether food from cloned animals is safe or not.45. Some experts sharply questioned the conclusion because______.A.they had exact proofs to prove it wrongB.they thought further research should be made into cloned animalsC.there is much difference between ordinary animals and cloned onesD.cloned animals appear healthy but there is a genetic fault in them46. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The conclusion made by the FDA was drawn from the two tests.B.Food from clone animals is surely safe enough to eat.C.The legal director for the non-profit Center for Food Safety more valued the second testD.The farmers raising cloned animals are probably disappointed by the discussion.47. What does the underlined word “it”in the first paragraph refer to?A. The FDA.B. The scienceC. The conclusionD. One of the FDA’s advisory committeesDIt is natural for young people to be critical（责备的）of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive anddominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis; that they talk too much about certain problems and that have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their purpose. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they not yet been accepted. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or clothes or hairstyle make their parents angry, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior（优越）, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are turning against your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after your parents’control. Bu tit ignores（忽视）the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation（合作）can be part of that plan, you can persuade others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress there with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do.48. The first paragraph is mainly about ______.A.the teenagers’ criticism of parentsB.misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC.the dominance of the parents over their childrenD.the teenagers’ ability to deal with crisis49. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they_____.A.want to make their parents angryB.have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteC.have no other way to enjoy themselves betterD.want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own50. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they ______.A. have a desire to be independentB. fell that they are superior in a small way to the adultC. are not likely to win over the adultsD. have already been accepted into the adult world51. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be ____.A. obedientB. independentC. responsibleD. co-operativeEIt is common knowledge that drug abuse（滥用毒品）leads to harmful consequences(effects). Why then do people, particularly youngsters, continue to use drugs? Psychologists claim(state) that there are three basic motivations（动机）that influence people to take drugs: curiosity, stress and environmental factors（因素）. Sometimes, youngsters take drugs simply because they are curious. Taking drugs seems to be the “in-thing(fashion)”for their generation, so they want to know what drugs are like. The trouble is that they do not know that taking soft and seemingly innocuous（无害的）drugs can develop into cravings（渴望）for stronger stuff (thing)later on. Insome cases, youngsters are depressed or discouraged because of problems related to parents, school or the cases, the environment is conducive (attracted) to follow suit, for fear of ostracism or non-acceptance.There is a growing consensus (agreement) nowadays among social workers and psychologists that the best possible approach (way) to the problem of drug addiction（瘾）among the young is for school authorities, social workers and the Police Narcotics Division（缉毒警察）to work together to provide young people with much-needed education on the effects and dangers of drug abuse. Parents who always scream at their children and nag （唠叨）them about their failings and weakness are regarded as unwitting（无心的）drug pushers. As far as young people are concerned, a warm and happy family, where in members share both joys and sorrows and where children get maximum encouragement and support, is the say that a happy home is a drug-free home.52. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why some youngsters take soft drugs?A. Their parents are drug-takers.B. They wonder what drugs are like.C. They are disturbed by problemsD. They think that soft drugs are not harmful.53. Social workers and psychologists hold a common belief that _____.A.the Police Narcotics Division should take all the responsibility for the problem of drugaddiction among the youngB.parents ought to be educated about the effects and danger of drug abuseC.young people tend to be addicted to drugsD.the concerned authorities should join efforts to educate youngsters about the evilconsequences of drug addiction54. A youngster who grows in a community where people around him take drugs ______.A.may be tempted into doing the same thing to be acceptedB.may run away from home for fear to be involved in itC.may be very careful of his choice of friendsD.may also take drugs to suit the trend55. The best way to prevent youngsters from taking soft drugs is ____.A. to issue a ban on the sale of drugsB. to give them a warm and loving familyC. to punish the drug addictsD. to teach them principles第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（每小题1分，满分10分）My wife and I go to theatre whenever we have time.
