(10 points)I think one of the most importantfactorsin 31__________ whether or not I'll like a subject is theteacher. The right teacher can makeyou look 32 ____________ to a class, just as abad teacher can make you dreadcoming to school. 33 ____________, at myschool, the bad ones far outnumberthe 34________ teachers, butevery so often you come across a gem. Really good teachers are usually popular with most ofthe kids, and everyone is always tryingto get into their classes.To me, a good teacher is someonewho likes the subject he's teaching, aswell as enjoys working with his students. That type of teacher keeps upwith all the 35____________ in his field,and makes learning interesting andfun. The teacher I had for music lastyear was really terrific. Hegot36____________ to take our class on atrip to an actual recording37____________ . We made a record, and although itwas never sold to a 38 ____________label,it was played at two school 39 ____________as well as a localdance. It mayeven take off yet-------- who knows? Ilearned a lot about music in that classand really had a good time.Most kids think that it's importantfor a teacher to be fair. You can lookup to a teacher who'sfair, even if youdon't get a top grade in the class. Atleast you know that you've 40 ____________whatever grade you 41 ____________. But a lotof teachers aren't fair, and that's trueeven for some of the ones who thinkthat they are.Several of the teachers don't seemat ease with 42 ____________ groupkids. They try too hard.A few of thewhite teachers 43 ____________ Black HistoryMonth more rigorouslythan our black faculty members. They44 ____________ stressblackpride and so openly gush over their black students that it's obvious that they're 45 ____________ someof the black kids. Sonia, one of myblack friends, says that she hatescoming to school in February (BlackHistory Month) because she doesn'tenjoy being made the center of 46 ____________.Other teachers are even worse.These are the ones who seem to betotally 47 ____________ of how theycome across. They have their obviousfavorites in class whoreceive special 48 ____________. Usually theytend to like the better looking,well-dressed kids, but sometimes theymay react to a student personally-------like when a teacher is partial toa particular girl because that student49 ____________ her daughter.Once a teacher stops seeing hisstudents 50 ____________, it becomes nearly impossible for him toremain fair and impartialinclass. A teacher is supposed to use hisskills to help a student learn, insteadof using a young person to build uphis ego. It is hard for me to respect a teacher, or anyone for thatmatter, who is unfair. And it's equallydifficult to learn anything from a person whom you don't respect.Section II Reading Comprehension Test (50 points)Read the following passages and choose the best answers.AA new type of Internet and e-mail fraud is posing major problems for people who rely on the Internet for business and banking transactions. The troublemakers are known as "phishers"----- pronounced "fishers." Phishers steal information from innocent people by pretending to beInternet Service Providers or ISPs. These are the people who legally connect you to the Internet and have a right to know your passwords, credit card numbers, and other secret information. Phishers don't have a right to this information, but when unsuspecting Internet users get a message from a phisher, they often give them their secret codes and numbers. The phisher can then create chaos by emptying the victim's bank accounts and charging up massive debts on their credit cards. Sometimes phishers go to great lengths to get information, using computer worms to infect manye-mail addresses. In their e-mails, phishers falsely pose as online businesses.Phishers have only turned up in the last two years, but now they have unleashed their criminal activity in North America, Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia. A few of the culprits are malicious students or individuals trying to get rich at the expense of others. However, the FBI and other law enforcement organizations perceive that most phishers are actually part of criminal groups. They worry because bank fraud and e-mail fraud are increasing at a rapid rate. They urge everyone to be alert for illegal phishers who try to pass themselves off as Internet Service Providers. Being phished is one experience you won't mind missing out on.51. How do phishers get secret information?A. Credit card companies hire them.B. Online businesses use them.C. They are employed by banks.D. They pass themselves off as ISPs.52. How would a victim of a phisher feel?A. Aghast.B. Devastated.C. Magnificent.D. Malicious.53. Where have phishers emerged?A. Only in the Internet Service Providers.B. In the bank accouts.C. In some business and information centers.D. In several parts of the world.54. What does the FBI believe?A. Some ill students cause most of the problems.B. A few phishers and victims are not innocent businesspeople.C. Most phishers are organized criminals.D. This type of fraud will vanish into thin air.55. What was the purpose of this passage?A. To give a warning to the innocents.B. To tell how the police could detect the fraud.C. To describe some criminal and isolated behavior.D. To stop spreading malicious gossip.BThe idea that someone or something can be cursed is as old as cultureitself. In fairy tales a curse was called a magic spell and was usually castby a wicked old witch. Some people believe that curses can be placed onothers by casting spells, or by chanting certain words. A curse is saidtobring bad luck or even death tothe person it has been put on. In real life aperson mayaccidentally have had a series of misfortunes, and he will besaid to have been cursed. The saying that luck, good or bad, comes inthrees is still believed by Western-educated people. There is, however, noscientific evidence that curses have been the cause of any harm.Ancient peoples were afraid to walk under ladders because theythought that gods lived in the triangle-shaped space underneath. Forsomeone to walk through a sacred place like this was very disrespectful tothe gods. This is because early Christians considered the ladder a symbolof wickedness. Rememberthata ladder had led Christ to his death. Todaysome superstitious people avoid walking under ladders for fear of badluck. The thought that walking under ladders brings about bad luck alsoexists among those who are not superstitious because some clumsy personat the top might drop something on them!Onemore superstition is about a horseshoe. Have you ever been toldthat it's lucky to find a horseshoes? This belief comes from 4th-centuryGreece. Ahorseshoe is crescent-shaped like the new moon, which was asymbol of good luck. Also horseshoesare made of iron, which was thoughtto be able to keep evil spirits away.A horseshoe nailed over a doorwaysupposedly kept evil spiritsfrom entering the house. For extra protection,it was said the horseshoe must be fixed with the ends pointing up, or allthe good luck would drain out of it.Horseshoes are hard to find today, but good luck still keeps cominginto ordinary families. The question why some people are still superstitious could be explainedby the fact that modern science and technology is not so advanced as to beable to account for everything in the boundless universe.56. A curse is ________.A. an old cultureB. a word, a phrase or a sentenceC. a bad witchD. a magic technology57. A curse is believed to ________.A. bring good luck and make a lot of moneyB. make people keep away from harmC. bring sickness or misfortuneD. be first used by the Egyptians58. Walking under ladders means ________ to ancient people.A. you might be injured by something falling downB. you walk through gods' bedroomC. you don't show respect to godsD. you make gods ill and unhealthy59. All the stories about the horseshoe are ________.A. true but unbelievableB. strange but believableC. a result of superstitionD. for those who ride horses60. From the passage we know ________.A. people don't know the universe well enoughB. cursing is as old as the earth itselfC. good luck doesn't exist any longer because horseshoes are hard to findnowadaysD. modern science and technology is so advanced today that nothing isunknown to humansCThinking about going to a casino to play roulette and win a lot ofmoney? There's something you should know before you bet. It's muchmore likely that the casino will win than you will.The roulette wheel is divided into 38 numbered slots. Two ofthese slots are green, 18 are red, and 18 are black. To begin theround, the wheel is spun and a ball is dropped onto its outside edge.When the wheel stops, the ball drops into 1 of the 38 slots.Players bet on which slot they believe the ball will land in. If youbet your money that the ball will land in any of the 18 red slots, yourchances of winning are 18 out of 38. If you bet yourmoney on acertain number, such as the red slot numbered with a 10, yourchances of winning drop to 1 in 38.Both you and the people who own the casino are gambling -----playing the odds ----- but the odds that the casino owner will win aremuch greater than the odds that you will win. In fact, themathematics of probability guarantee that the owners of the roulettewheel will make money with that wheel, even if they don't win everytime. This is no accident of fate. It's the way the game is constructed.Remember those colored slots? There are 18 each of the red andblack slots. There are also 2 green slots. Whenever the ball lands in 1of those green slots, the house wins everything that was bet on thatround. So again, let's say you bet that the ball will land in a red slot(or, for that matter, a black slot). This is the safest possible bet inroulette, since the odds are 18 out of 38 that you'll win.If you spend day after day at the roulette table, you willconsistently lose over time. But forany given night, the outcome ofyour bets is much less predictable. You might beat the odds and takehome a pocketful of cash, or you might lose fistfuls of money. Thecasino is not taking any chances, though. The odds make it certainthat, over time, the casino will consistently turn a profit.61. You can bet on all of the following EXCEPT ________.A. a green slotB. the red slot numbered a 5C. any of the black slotsD. any of the red slots62. The odds that the owner of a casino will win are greater thanyours because ________.A. the owner has much more gambling experienceB. the owner knows the mathematics of probabilityC. the way the roulette wheel is constructed favors the ownerD. you tend to bet the least safe bet63. It can be inferred that a casino owner's least chances ofwinning are ________.A. 1 out of 38B. 2 out of 38C. 18 out of 38D. 20 out of 3864. The underlined phrase "beat the odds" (paragraph 6) means ________.A. bet on small chancesB. bet a safe betC. lose because of bad luckD. be lucky65. The message contained in the passage would be most valuableto which of the followingpersons?A. A casino owner who run several big casinos.B. A person who has a strongbelief in casino laws.C. A college student majoringin mathematical probability.D. A gambler who tries to make a living by frequenting a casino.DWhen did you last visit a shopping mall? In many places, the answer would be "last weekend." Some people goeven more often. Why? For one thing, malls offer goods and services that people need all in one place: food,clothing, things for their houses, entertainment, even medical services.People also go to socialize and be with theirfriends. So, are malls one of the highlights of modem civilization? Environmental activists would say NO! Theywould go even further and say that consumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster. They accuseconsumers ofignorance of the side effect of their shopping----- urban sprawl.Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape a great deal in the last halfcentury. Prior to 1950, most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to workor took publictransportation. Only very wealthy people had automobiles. Farmers lived in rural areas or isolated villages andcame into town only when they needed things they couldn't produce themselves. If you gazed at the landscapeyou would see towns surrounded by countryside. Then a massive change occurred.Automobiles became affordable and people were quick to adopt them. Now ambitious workers could liveoutside the urban areas and commute whether they worked in a factory or in business. Whole families moved tothe suburbs, the areas just outside cities, which started to grow rapidly.As long as there was lots of cheap land inthe suburbs, no one paid much attention to the usage of that land. Malls, fast food restaurants, cinemas, and cardealerships spread out in large, flat buildings. These one-story buildings and their parking lots took up a greatdealofspace.Well-meaning farmers thought they were better off selling their land than growing crops. In ignorance,no one realized that once the land was built up in urban sprawl, the good farming land would be ruined forever. There was no way to preserve it.Only in recent years have people come to mourn the old way of life as they have developed insight into theproblems of unconditional growth. Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmentalproblems. The negative aspects of sprawl include air and water pollution, loss of agricultural land, traffic jams,and the death of businesses in the old town centers. Many scholars think the time has come to analyze theproblems better so we can developappropriate policies to control further sprawl. Some think the best way to doit is to educatecitizens about their priceless environment.66. What is the best title for the whole passage?A. Urban SprawlB. Weekend FunC. New AutomobilesD. Isolated Villages67. Who do activists blame for environmental problems?A. The endangered animals.B. The shopping mall owners.C. The unthinking shoppers.D. The ambitious farmers.68. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Farmers were well-meaning.B. Massive buildings are ugly.C. Cars brought about changes.D. Fast food is not healthy.69. What do scholars think should be done about urban sprawl?A. Understand the situation better.B. Follow customary policies.C. Start schools in shopping malls.D. Charge polluters a lot of money.70. Which of the following is true?A. One hundred years ago, most workers commuted to work from rural areas.B. Buildings took up a lot of space because land was cheap.C. Farmers sold their land because they wanted to retire in the city.D. According to this reading, businesses in cities have continued to grow.EConsciously or unconsciously, we all haveprivate pictures of the people who answer tocertain names. Jackie could be sophisticatedand beautiful, like Jackie Kennedy, or fat and funny, likeJackie Gleason. These pictures come from personalexperience as well as from the images we absorb fromthe mass media and thus may conflict in interestingways. Marilyn may be thepersonification ofvoluptuous femininity until you think of yourneighbor who fetches the mailin a ratty bathrobe, withcurlers in her hair and a cigarette dangling out of hermouth.Over the years researchers have been fascinated bythe "real" meanings of names and their effects on theirbearers. Studies indicate that people actually tend toagree on each name's characteristics.If people think of Mallory as cute and likable, doesthat influence a girl named Mallory to become cuteand likable? Experts agree that names don't guaranteeinstant success or condemn people to certain failure,but they do affect self-images,influence relationshipswith others, and help (or hinder) success in work and school.Researcher S. Gray Garwood conducted a study of sixth graders in New Orleans. He found that students given names that were popular with teachers scored higher in skills tests, were better adjusted and more consistent in their self-perceptions, were more realistic in their evaluations of themselves, and more frequently expected to attain their goals---- even though their goals were more ambitious than ones set by their peers.In San Diego, research suggested that average essays by Davids, Michaels, Karens, and Lisas got better grades than average essays written by Elmers, Huberts, Adelles, and Berthas. The reason? Teachers expected kids with popular names to do better, and thus they assigned higher grades to those kids in a self-fulfilling prophecy.The name you select for your baby is likely to be that child's "label" for a lifetime. It is important to consider how that name will be perceived by others before making your final choice.71. When we hear a person's name before we meet the person,_________.A. we rarely imagine what that person will look likeB. we often imagine the person will be much better looking than the person isC. we often have a pictureof what that person willlook likeD. we sometime have a feeling that we know the person well72. From passage we know ________.A. the pictures about Jackie Kennedy and Jackie Gleason come from the radio or TV stationsB. Marilyn is one of the writer’s the neighbors who looks fat with curly hairC. The image about certain person has close relations with the experience you get from lifeD．Marilyn wears a bathrobe to fetch her mails herself every morning73. According to passage, studies on the meanings of names has showed that _______.A. Each name has its own special meaningB. names influence the name bearers in several waysC. a good name is surely to bring success to the personD. Mallory becomes a cute and likeable girl because of her name74. The writer of this passage thinks ________.A.you should give your child a short name that is easy to memorizeB. you should carefully consider the consequences of any name you give your childC. you should give your child an unusual name which will impress others deeplyD. you should give good names to your children if you want them to succeed。

But once, if you have to go to a country across the ocean orsend a cargo over the seas, you had only one choice: the sailing ship. In the 1600s,夷Dutch made a ship called a flyboat. It was a slow, clumsy boat, but it could carry a lot of cargo. Since the Dutchcould carry most cargo, they could do more trading. Tradingbrought against the building of new colonies. It was not long before there were Dutch colonies in the Americas, in Africa, in the West India, and in the East India. The great city of the New York beganas the Dutch colony New Amsterdam.

It seems that people in Japan bow to each other instead. In business situations, men always shake hands when they first meet each other. Recently, especially in the business world, women have begun shaking hands, too. In social situations when two people meet, they often shake hands. You may find that younger women shake hands more often than older women do.B) One possible version:Steve Jobs is a very successful person in the field of computer and mobile business in the past twenty years. After reading his words, I think there are three important factors leading to success: opportunity, diligence and creativity. In my view, opportunity is the first factor leading to success. But good luck will not always come to those who are lazy, sloppy and indifferent to their work. Those who never concentrate on work will definitely end in failure. Secondly, as the saying goes, “No pains, no gains”. Without efforts, one could neverexpect to achieve success in no matter what one is doing. As Jobs said, “there’s no shortcut to excellence”. Thirdly, creativity is also one of the most important factors to success. As Jobs said, “Use your talents, abilities, and skills in the best way ... pay attention to the details that really do make the difference, you will be amazed with what life gives you back.” That means, with the spirit of diligence and creativity, life will give you good luck and opportunities on the way to success.写作评分原则：本题总分为30 分: A）10分；B）20 分。

In 1957 he was diagnosed with cancer, and given only days to live. He heard tumors the size of oranges. He heard that scientists had discovered a new medication, Kerbionzen, which was effective against cancer, and he begged his doctor to give him the drug. His physician, Dr Philip West, finally agreed. Mr Wright was given an injection on a Friday afternoon, the astonished doctor found his pat ients out of his …death bed‟, joking with the nurses the following Monday. …The tumurs,‟ the doctor wrote later, …had melted like snow balls on a hot stove.‟ Actually, Mr Wright had not been given a drug, just a mix of salt and water.This story has been ignored by doctors for a long time, dismissed as one of those strange tales that medicine cannot explain. The idea that what a patient believes can make a fatal disease go away is regarded as just too strange However, no scientists are discovering that placebo effect is more powerful than anyone had ever thought. They are also beginning to discover how such miraculous results are achieved. (74) Through new techniques in brain imagery, it has been shown that a thought, a belief or a desire can cause chemical processes in the brain which can have powerful effects on the body.Placebos are …lies that heal‟, said Dr Anne Harrington, a science historian at Havard Univ ersity. …The word placebo is Laitin for “I shall please” or “I shall make you happy” and it is typically a treatment that a doctor gives to anxious patients to please them,‟ she said. …It looks like medication,but has no healing ingredients whatever.‟ Now adays, doctors have much more deffective medicines to fight disease, but these treatments have not diminished the power of the placebo – quite the opposite.(75)Maybe when scientists fully understand how they work, the powerful healing effects of the human maind will be used more systematically.Questions 71-73:Read the passage, and then say whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).71.Wr Wright was given a new cancer medication which contained healingingredienes.72.After Dr Philip West gave Mr Wright the injection, Mr Wright got better.73.Scientists are discovering that placebos don‟t have any effect at all.Questions 74-75: Translate the underlined sentences 74 and 75.Section D (10 marks)Robots are useful inexploring space because they can work in the conditions which exist in space. Such robots usually look like boxes with wheels. Though these robots are useful, however, they are extremely expensive-they break easily and they are cannot do very many tasks. Because of these problems, scientists have been working on a new and unusual kind of robot. These new robots will look and move like snakes, so they have been given the name …snakebots‟.The way a snake is shaped allows it to do special things, such as getting into very small spaces, like cracks in rocks. Snakes can also push themselves underground, and climb up different kinds of objects, like rocks and trees. Such abilities account for the usefulness of robots designed like snakes, because they will be able to do these things, too. Such robots would be much more effective than regular robots with wheels. Wheeled robots easily get stuck and fall over, but snakebots would not have these problems. They could go almost anywhere and so would be useful for exploringth different environments of other planets. Since they can carry tools, snakebots would be able to work in space, as well. They could, for example, help repair the Internetion Space Station.How do you make a robot shaped like a snake? A snakebot is put together like a chain, made of about thirty parts, or modules. Each module is basically the same-they all containa computer and a wheel to aid movement. The computer in the …head‟ of the snake makes the modules work together. If one module fails, another can easily take its place. Snakebot modules can also carry different kinds of tools, as well as cameras. Since each module is actually a robot in itself, each module can work apart from the restif necessary.The snakebot design is much simpler than of most common robots. Thus, snakebots will be much less expensive to build. One of the robots sent to Mars cost a hundred million dollars to build. However, snakebots cost as little as a few dollars to make and could therefore save . enormous amounts of money on future space missions ,With their versatility and affordability , snakebots will be the way of the future; at least as far as space robots are concerned.Questions 76~80: read the passage carefully and then complete each space in the summary, using a maximum of three words from the passage.Summary:It is much easier to send robots, rather than people, into space, but scientists have found that robots with wheels are not the most (76)_____ ones. This is because there are many problems associated with today‟s robots: they are very expensive, they (77)___ and cannot do many tasks. In fact, for exploring places with lots of obstacles to go over or under, (78)_____ word better than wheeled robots.
