(30’)AWhen God made the first man, he put him on a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden. Here Adam lived din peace with all the animals. God gave Adam eternal (永恒的) life. But Adam was lonely in the garden, so God made Eve. When Adam was asleep one night, God took a rib (肋骨) from him and made Eve, the first woman. Adam was happy when he woke up the next morning and found Eve beside him. God said to them, “Here in theGarden you have everything. But you cannot have one thing: you cannot eat the apples from the Tree of Knowledge.”One day Satan came to the Garden. He changed into a snake and went to live in the Tree of Knowledge. When Eve came near the tree one day, the snake called her.He gave her and apple and said, “Take this apple and eat it. Don’t listen to the God. Eat it.” After Eve took a bite, she took the apple to Adam. He was afraid, but Eve repeated again and again: It’s good. Here, eat it. Why not? So h e finally ate the apple.Before they ate the apple, Adam and Eve didn’t know that they were naked (裸体的). But now they were ashamed and covered their bodies with leaves. God was angry with them. He said, “Leave the Garden. You cannot stay here.”When Adam and Eve left the garden, they had their first experience of pain and hard work in the cold hard world outside.36. God put Adam in a beautiful garden where he lived ___C____.A. peacefully with other peopleB. happily with all the animalsC. by himself without any other peopleD. eternally37.

Its neighbors are Canada to the north, and Mexico to the south.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented (代表) of the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 states. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii. Indians were the first inhabitants (居民) of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of the descendants (后代) of these original inhabitants living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans.”Most Americans, however, are descendants of people who came from all over the world to find a new life in a new land. Those who came first and in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than of any other country in the world.41. What countries are neighbors of the United States? DA. CanadaB. EnglandC. MexicoD. Both A and C42. At the beginning there were __ D____ states, but now there are _____ states.A. 30, 50B. 43, 48C. 30, 52D. 13, 5043. The states are represented on the American flag by __C_____.A. sunsB. moonsC. starsD. earths44. The first inhabitants of American were __C___.A. the English peopleB. people from all over the worldC. the American IndiansD. the Americans45. The customs and culture of the United States are more like those of England than of any other country because __ D___.A. the language of the United States is EnglishB. the American were the first inhabitants of North AmericaC. people from other countries did not come to America.D. the early immigrants who came to America were mostly from England.CThere was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of he window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some w omen and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves.Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46.What do gentlemen now do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train? CA. They will stand up reluctantlyB. They will offer her their seats after a whileC. They will pretend not to see herD. They will get off the bus47.Which of the following statements is true? DA. Men have become less and less polite to women.B The women are thought of as the weaker sex.C. The women could not open doors for themselves.D. Men’s attitudes towards women are reasonable.48. Why are some women likely to get angry when a man holds the door open for them? BA. Because the man should not hold the door open.B. Because they think they are looked down upon.C. Because they are treated too politely.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49. What is re placing men’s gestures of politeness?BA. More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelingsC. More equal treatment to women in every respect.D. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.50.What can we learn from this passage? DA. Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards menC. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.V. Translation. (15’)1. 去看芭蕾舞 (ballet) 对她来说真是一件乐事！It's a great treat for her to go to the ballet.2. 史密斯先生和他的妻子刚从美国回来。

One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence.The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.6. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.7. The “canals” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A. the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB. natural valleys on the surface of MarsC. rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD. a system that irrigates the whole surface8. What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A. The natural changes on the planet.B. The seasonal cycles.C. The movement of some life form.D. The storm of dust in its atmosphere.9. How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.10. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Gilbert Arenas was born on January 6, 1982 in Tampa, Florida. His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he wasalready the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" becausepeople told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.11. What did Gilbert’s father do for a living in Californi a?A. He was an artist.B. He was a basketball player.C. He was an actor.D. He was a football player.12. When did Gilbert become the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School?A. When he was 11.B. In 1984.C. When he was 14.D. As a junior in high school.13. Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors?A. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.D. Because his performance is disappointing in the season.14. Which of the following players did NOT help the Wizards make the playoffs in Gilbert’s second year?A. Gilbert Arenas.B. Gold State Warriors.C. Antawn Jamison.D. Larry Hughes.15. Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage?A. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 4Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess oranother guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.16. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________________.A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye17. What will a person do when he attend a party run by older people?A. Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.B. Ask his friend to introduce him to others.C. Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.D. Wait to be introduced by the host / hostess.18. On which occasion will the English toast?A. A wedding reception.B. A dinner party.C. A speech.D. A meeting.19. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.D. The English usually can’t understand foreign students impolite behaviors.20. Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.A. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.c. Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.D. Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.III.

ReadingA“Mom, I can’t wait to own a fast Porsche(保时捷),〞 said sixteen-year-old Steve, as he drove our old family car home after he passed his driving test. “A Porsche is expensive,〞 I replied, “You will have to work hard to earn one.〞Over the next several years, Steve tried his best to realize the goal. After high school, he won a scholarship(奖学金)to study at a famous university and graduated with honors. Later he earned an MBA degree and got a job in a large company. Then he got married.One day in 2021 his dad and I visited them on invitation. After a round of hugs, Steve asked me to stand in front of the garage and opened the door.“What a beautiful car!〞 I said in amazement. Steve smiled with tears of happiness in his eyes. “Mom, remember I once said I wanted to own a fast Porsche? Let me take you for a ride and show you what this car can do. I’ll take Dad later.〞 We climbed onto the sports car, and then he started the car. We sped up along a wide road, shot up a long bridge and performed a fast turn before we headed for home.“Wow! That was an exciting ride!〞 I said, as I climbed out of the comfortable seat. “This car is better than all my expectations,〞 Steve said in happiness.Months later, during another visit, I was admiring his perfect Porsche in the garage when he said that he had decided to sell it. I was unprepared for it and he explained that he had discovered that wanting a Porsche was more fun than having one.1.

Which of the following can be used as the title of the text?A. Wanting is more fun than having.B. Patience results in success.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. All good things come to an end.BTravel has become part of our lives. And more and more of us have come to know the importance of travel through our own experiences. Travelling broadens our mind. We may get knowledge from books, but it is limited in real life. To make up for this disadvantage, we should travel to see things which can not be found in books. To our surprise，the longer we travel, the more we will treasure our life.My travel to Xishuangbanna, a place of interest in Yunnan, is a good example in point. The journey made me enrich my knowledge, especially geographical learning. This trip provided me with the chance to taste food cooked by people of the minority 〔少数民族〕, and try on their clothes that I otherwise could not have. By making friends with people there, I came to know that boys of this minority should be, at an early age, sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism(佛教). That is why we often notice many teenagers wearing the clothes of a monk in public. If it had not been for the travel to Xishuangbanna , I would not have known a lot about customs practiced in other parts of China.In view of my experience in Xishuangbanna , I firmly believe that travel is one of the best ways to broaden our minds. It enriches our knowledge so that we come back home with a broader mind.Judging from the above-mentioned facts, how can we ignore the advantages brought by travelling?1. The underlined word “broaden〞 in th e first paragraph means ______•A. enlargeB. changeC. reduceD. disturb2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Travel has become part of our life.B. Travelling makes us happy.C. Travel gives us the knowledge we can’t know in books.D. People haven’t realized the importance of travelling.3. According to the passage, which is NOT the advantage of travelling?A. It gives us the chance of leaving our work.B. It broadens our mind.C. It expands our knowledge.D. It gives us the chance of knowing the customs.4. Why do many teenagers wear the clothes of a monk in public?A. Because monks are respected by all the teenagers.B. Because they should be sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism.C. Because their school life is mainly in the temple.D. Because most of them will live in the temple for some time.5. What is the writer’s attitude towards travelling?A. disappointedB. worriedC. puzzledD. supportiveCA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated bydifferent skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.1. The first paragraph tells us that _______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other2. In a more traditional society, old people ________.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children3. In American society young people ________.A. do not need to find jobsB. marry people younger than themC. have better education than their parentsD. leave home at an early age4. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.5. The main idea of the passage is ______.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existsD. how we can reduce the generation gapDAs early as the second half of the 18th century, English writers began to witness and lament the gradual disappearance of the countryside. Now, over two hundred years later, the matter is not only of poetical interest but a matter of great urgency.The problems of ecology〔生态学〕 are among our greatest problems and there’s a lot of talk about pollution, conservational preservation. It seems there’s a lot of concern, but in spite of this there are times when we take the most incredible decisions. For example, Camley Council have chosen Beckley Field as the site for a multi-storey car park.Beckley Field is where the children play. I myself used to play there. You can go for a walk there, sit under the trees, exercise the dog. It is surrounded by new Camley, with the housing estate on one side, the new shopping center on another two, and Camley School about two hundred yards away on the fourth side.The shopping center is used by almost everyone in Camley, and of course they need somewhere to park their cars. There are three or four restaurants, too, and custom is beginning to come from other nearby towns. A car park would increase custom enormously, both at the shops and at the restaurants. So one can quite understand the Council’s wish to make use of Beckley Field. Where else could youput a car park?But why must we lose one of the last remaining green areas that we have in the town?1. According to the passage, people are more concerned about the following problemsexcept ___________.A. pollutionB. populationC. conservationD. preservation2. According to the author, the disappearance of the countryside is ___________.A. poetically interestingB. gradualC. very urgentD. a threat3. Camley Council decided to build a car park in ______________.A. CamleyB. Beckley FieldC. Camley SchoolD. the housing estate4. A car park is to be built for____________.A. more and more customers at the restaurantsB. more and more customers at the shopping centerC. people coming from other placesD. more and more customers at the shopping center as well as at the restaurants5. What is the author’s a ttitude towards the building of the car park in Camley?A. The author is strongly against it.B. The author is in favor of it.C. The author is concerned with it.D. The author is worried about it.III.ClozePassage AOne day, when I was 15 years old, I was walking in a very dark park and found an old bottle on my way. To my 1 , there was a fairy inside.

For often, achieving what you set out to do is not the most 1 thing. Two brothers decided to dig a 2 hole behind their house. As they were 3 , a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing?〞 asked one of the visitors.“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the 4 !〞 one of the brothers answered excitedly.The older boys began to 5 , telling the younger ones that it was 6 .After a long silence, one of the brothers 7 up a jar(罐子) full of spiders, worms and all kinds of insects. He 8 it and showed the wonderful 9 in it to the older boys.Then he said quietly and confidently, “ 10 we can’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we found along the way!〞Their goal was too ambitious(有雄心的), 11 it did let them start. And that is what a goal is for—to let us 12 in the direction(方向)we have chosen; 13 , to make us dig!Not every goal will be fully 14 . Not every job will end 15 . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be 16 . But when you fail to reach your 17 , perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! 18 at the wonderful things 19 I have tried to do something!〞It is in the digging that life is lived.
