Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Antarctica has actually become a kind of space station—a unique observation post for detecting important changes in the world’s environment.S1 Remote from major sourc es of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevail elsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distant early warning sensor, where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from the United States, Switzerland, and France are pursuing seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—a concern they believe the world at large should share.The Transantarctic Mountain, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, divide the continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If theWest Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would be reduced to a sparse cluster of island.While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments, others focus on the mysterious“dry valley”of Antarctica, valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southern Victoria land, these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descend 9,000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea.Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty of the global warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roar down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges, rippled fields of sand dunes, clusters of boulders(大圆石)sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100mile an hour winds, and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe that they may carry a message of hope for the verdant(草木繁茂的)parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutants faster than pollutants enter them.21.Antarctica is scientifically important in that ____.A) it is a space stationB) it is an ideal place for the investigation of glaciologyC) there is the mysterious dry valleyD) it can help people detect global environmental changes22.The reason for the disappearance of glaciers in the dry valley is ____.A) that they’ve desended to the Ross seaB) that they’ve been blasted out by vicious windsC) the global warming trend ever since the ice ageD) that they’ve been change d into gorges,sand dunes and boulders23.When the author calls Antarctica “distant early warning sensor”, heactually means that ____.A) such equipment has been set up for scientific purposeB) the research groups there are like such kind of sensorsC) potential global changes can be seen on Antarctica firstD) Antarctica is remote from other parts of the earth24.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?A) There is a cluster of island west of the Transantartic Mountain.B) Scientific research on Antarctica only centers on the ice and snow there.C) Dry valleys may be a place to dispose of our pollutants.D) All the countries on earth should be concerned about the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.25.The word “spotted”(2nd paragraph)can best be replaced by____.A) placedB) noticedC) fixedD) judgedPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be “all things to all people”. In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failingto cultivate a global vision among their students.The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields,the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends.Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, “the nation’s colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials(文凭)than in providing a quality education for their students.” The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an “integrated core” of common learning. Such a core would introduce students “to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus.”Although the key to a good college is a high quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed:“Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most.” Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure (终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that “There is pressure to publish, although there isvirtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications.”26.When a college tries to be “all things to all people”(lines 2, Para. Ⅰ), it aims to ____.A) satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneouslyB) focus on training students in various skillsC) encourage all sorts of people to attend collegeD) make learning serve academic rather than productive ends27.The word “core”(lines 15, 1st paragraph) might mean____.A) aimB) unitC) centerD) course28.One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that ____.A) a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many collegesB) students don’t have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learnC) skills are being taught as a means to an endD) students are not interested in learning29.American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their fouryear degree candidates because ____.A) most of them lack high quality faculitesB) students are becoming more and more lazyC) there are not enough incentives for students to study hardD) they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching30.It can be inferred from the passage that high quality college educationcalls for ____.A) high quality facultiesB) a commitment to students and effective teachingC) the cultivation of students’ interest in learningD) dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledgePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smallercollege age population starting in the middle 1970’s.S4 Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. Highunemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service—unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example—than during more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.31.What is the main idea of this passage?A) The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.B) There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.C) Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.D) High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.32.The phrase “laid off” can best be replaced by which of the following?A) Poor .B) Got rid of.C) Removed.D) Unemployed.33.American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they were____.A) smallB) gas consumingC) fuel efficientD) not attractive34.The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that ____.A) they couldn’t get enough income to keep them runningB) young people couldn’t afford the tuition feesC) keeping them running at the same level would cost much moreD) social services need more state funds because of the recession35.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____.A) young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’sB) it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’sC) fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because ofthe recession in 1970’sD) Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recessionPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to findout how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recyclingwaste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metalsuch as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after thatgrounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, somebig cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.36.The main purpose of the passage is ____.A) to show us a future way of recycling wastesB) to tell the importance of recycling wastesC) to warn people the danger of some wastesD) to introduce a new recycling plant37.How many stages are there in the recycling process?A) 3.B) 4.C) 5.D) 6.38.What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A) To deal with wastes in a better way.B) It’s a good way to gain profits.C) It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D) Energy can be got at a lower price.39.The first full—scale huge recycling plants ____.A) have been in existence for 15 yearsB) takes 15 years to buildC) can’t be built until 15 years laterD) will remain functioning for 15 years40.Which of the following statements is true?A) The word “rubbish” will soon disappear from dictionaries.B) Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.C) T o recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.D) Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.PartⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

P.Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinerman’s sharp indictment o f the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a three part series on “Staying Alive”.“For the first time in human history, the problem of m an’s survival has to do with his control of man made hazards,” Dr. Weinerman said.“Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazards.”Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.11.What is the main idea of the passage?12.Why could automobiles cause heart disease?13.For the 1st time,what does the problem of man’s survival have to do with?Passage TwoA small dog brought disaster to a small English town last week.

Some manufacturers of coffee makers are trying to take advantage of this trend by developing diminutive machines that brew smaller amounts of coffee. Two US appliance companies——Black & Decker, based in Towson, Maryland, and Toastmaster Inc. of Columbia, Missouri——have recently introduced “drip” coffee makers that brew one or two cup servings of coffee. Both of the products brew the coffee directly into a cup or mug, eliminating the need for a separate carafe. Since many people make a pot of coffee in the morning but drink only a single cup, the new coffee makers should reduce the wasted coffee. Black & Decker’s Cup-at-a-Time costs $27, while Toastmast er’s Cof fee Break Retails for $20.Black & Decker also makes a coffee maker that drips coffee directly into a carry-around thermal carafe. The carafe, a glass vacuum bottle, is supposed to keep the coffee fresh for hours. The product, called the Thermal Carafe Coffee-maker, comes with a built-in lid that opens during the brewing process and close when it is completed. There are several models, including one that firs under the counter, ranging from $60 to $110 in price.21.The main purpose of the text is to ____.A) introduce a new trend of drinking coffeeB) introduce new coffee makersC) introduce two U.S. appliance companiesD) introduce the new coffee industry22. The advantage of “drip”coffee makers shown in the text is that ___.A) they are much more economicB) they can produce only one cupC) they are more convenient and easier to operateD) they are more economical23. According to the passage, a thermal carafe is necessary when the coffee is ____.A) preserved B) producedC) manufactured D) brewed24. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A) People used to drink coffee in larger quantities.B) It is essential to attach a separate carafe, while “drip”coffee makers are applied.C) People used to make a pot of coffee in the morning and drink it up.D) The new coffee makers usually cost less than before.25. The word “it”in Line 6, para 3. probably refers to ____.B) coffee-makerC) the brewing processD) the modelPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’severy step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism , and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum.Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious f orces “really” are.Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, “is nota thing , like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave . Whenwe have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example,whose natural science dominated western thought for two thousand years, believe that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning form self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.26.The aim of controlled scientific experiments is ____.A) to explain why things happenB) to explain how things happenC) to describe self-evident principlesD) to support Aristotelian science27.What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?A)The speculations of Thales.B)The forces of electricity, magnetism , land gravity.C)Aristotle’s natural science.D)Galileo’s discoveries.28.Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is ____.A)disapproved of by most modern scientistsB)in agreement with Aristotle’s theory of self-evident principlesC)in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how” thingshappenD)in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why” things29.The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea ____.A)that there are mysterious forces in the universeB)that man cannot discover what forces “really ”areC)that there are self-evident principlesD)that we can discover why things behave as they do30.Modern science came into being ____.A) when the method of controlled experiment was first introducedB)when Galileo succeeded in explaining: how things happenC)when Aristotelian scientists tried to explain why things happenD)when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality by reasoningPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise - and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmersin northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at arelatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurementsof the volume of the front and side sections of the brain , which relate to intellect(智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing does not contract with age ,and one can continue living without intellectual on emotional faculties or functions).Contraction of front and side parts - as cells die off- was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzaswa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age-using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, soys Matsuzawa are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants. Matsozawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain form shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supple the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through usingthe brain, ”he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”31.The team of doctors wanted to find out____.A)why certain people are sooner than othersB)how to make people live longerC)the size of certain people’s brainsD)which people are most intelligent32.On what are their research findings based?A)A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B)Tests performed on a thousand old people.C)Study of brain volumes of different people.D)The latest development of computer technology.33.The doctor’s tests show that____.A)our brains shrink as we grow olderB)the front section of the brain does not shrinkC)sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD)some people’s brains have contracted more than other people’s34.The word “subjects”in paragraph 5 means____.A)something to be consideredB)branches of knowledge studiedC)persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD)any member of a state except the supreme ruler35.According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?A) Lawyers.B)Farmers.C)Clerks.D)Shop assistants.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport (excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30%increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building. Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and percapital personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid risein consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered.Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, educationand recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation(饱和) point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered.36.The author thinks that the trend towards a rapid rise in consumption was “undesirable”because ____.A) people saved lessB) people were wealthyC) people consumed lessD) expenditures on luxuries in creased37.Expenditure increased on all the following EXCEPT ____.A) food B) automobilesC) education D) entertainment38.It can be inferred form the increase of fruit consumption that____.A) people had to spend more on transportation and furnitureB) people were more health consciousC) people were more money consciousD) the price of fruit dropped dramatically39. The word “registered” in the last line most probably means ____.A) marked B) approachedC) listed D) booked40.From this passage, we learn that the people ____.A) spent more money than they earnedB) saved more money than previouslyC) spent their money wiselyD) invested and consumed at an accelerated pacePart ⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Becky, an 8-year-old girl, used to be happy when she finished classes every day, but now, life has become unhappy.

I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools_________on truancy (逃学)．Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection（检查）, the more children work out better methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d miss whole days to avoid being caught.For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,” he t old James.James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”1．What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James’ study?A．Truants are fallen behind in their studies.B．Truants have no interest in school subjects.C．Truants have more interesting things to do.D．Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.2．The underlined phrase “taking a hard line” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to“”.A．experiencing a problem with B．having a strict attitude towardsC．finding it difficult to solve D．having little success with3．By citing Adam's remark, James wants to show that .A．school education is not efficient and needs improvementB．it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harmC．school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concernD．even good students may sometimes need a break from school4．What is Philippa James’ suggestion to schools?A．Schools should solve the problem of teachers.B．Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.C．Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.D．Schools should find out who truant and how they it.C15、All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals can not make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don’t need to dr ink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtail cats also come out only at night. Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats.Nothing is wasted in a food wed. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.1．Where does the energy that living things need first come from?A．Animals. B．Plants. C．The sun. D．Plant eaters.2．Why do ringtail cats come out only at night?A．Because they are afraid of coyotes. B．Because they are shy animals.C．Because it is very hot in the daytime. D．Because they can eat kangaroo rats.3．What kind of animal can be placed in the empty box of the picture?A．Kangaroo. B．Vulture. C．Cat. D．Zebra.4．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Lions eat different kinds of animals. B．Plants are on the top of the food chain. C．Scavengers can keep the environment clean.

My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. She could wash clothes faster than me,” the young man seemed puzzled (迷惑) when answering.“Well, now I need you to do something.

Students in the country’s primary schools and middle schools will be allowed to bring their phones to school, but not allowed to get them out at any time until they leave school.Jean-Michel Blanquer, The French Education Minister, said the ban would come into effect (生效) in October 2018.“Some education organizations have already stopped pupils from using their mobiles,” Blanque r told RLT Radio, “Sometimes you need mobiles for teaching reasons or special situations, but their use has to be controlled in some way.”However, there are some different voices about the ban, someone wasn’t sure if it could be followed. “This new ban makes us puzzled because we can’t find anything helpful about this ban.”Some students from a middle school seemed not to be serious about this ban. “I don’t understand how it will work. Where will we put our phones? And how will we get them back?” said a boy. At another school, Mathilde, 12, said, “It’s unbelievable. At my school, we don’t use them in class, so what’s the problem? If anyone is caught using one in the toiletor at lunchtime, the phone will be confiscated (没收).”Some of the parents are not sur e, either. “It’s probably a good idea when the kids are in school,” said Sabine. “But my daughter goes to school and comes home alone. He needs a phone to keep in touch with me. That I won’t worry about her.”Anyway, the government is now studying how the mobile ban can be put into effect (执行).1．According to the ban, the students in primary schools ________.A．aren’t supposed to bring their phones to school.B．can play with their mobile phones at lunchtime.C．aren’t allowed to use mobiles in school.D．can’t use mobile phones at any time in France.2．What does the underlined word “ puzzled” mean in Chinese?A．兴奋的B．自豪的C．尴尬的D．困惑的3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The French government passed the ban for some teaching reasons.B．The ban tries to make all children stay away from any screen.C．The ban has made some people feel puzzled and uncertain.D．Any student in France has to follow the ban on mobile phones.4．What can we learn from the passage?A．The ban on mobile phones has been put into effect.B．The ban on mobile phones will meet problems when it starts in 2018.C．All parents and students in France are against the ban on mobile phones.D．The problems of mobile phones have been solved in French schools.5．Why did the writer write the passage?A．To show people’s ideas about the ban on mobile phones.B．To tell us the reasons why students aren’t allowed to use mobile.C．To describe the dangers of using mobile phones in schools.D．To tell us the growing problems of using mobile phones in schools.Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达假如你交了一个名叫Jack笔友，请根据下面相关信息，写一篇短文．要求：1．词数100左右（开头已给出，不计入总词数）2．短文应包括所给内容要点，可适当发挥．3．语句通顺，意思连贯，书写工整．I'm glad to tell you something about my penfriend Jack today．．参考答案Ⅰ. 单项选择1、D2、A3、B4、A5、C6、B7、C8、A9、C10、BⅡ. 完形填空11、1．C3．B4．C5．B6．C7．A8．C9．B10．CⅢ. 语法填空12、1．encouraged 2．include 3．hardly 4．necessary 5．behaving 6．satisfied 7．difficultiesⅣ. 阅读理解13、1．C2．D3．A14、1．D2．B3．B4．B15、1．C2．D3．B4．B5．A16、4．C2．B6．D17、1．C2．B3．B4．C5．A18、1．C2．D3．C4．B5．AⅤ.书面表达19、I'm glad to tell you something about my penfriend Jack today．He is of medium height．He usually wears black glasses．He likes watching TV programs about sports．He also likes action films．He likes reading detective stories and listen to country music．He is very brave and full of love．Last week he saved an old man from the water．He often says he is unhappy because he has too much homework．He wants more time to play．I think it is the most important for a student to do homework first．。

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Even if all the technical and intellectual problems can be solved, there are major social problems inherent in the computer revolution. The most obvious is unemployment, since the basic purpose of commercial computerization is to get more work done by fewer people. One British study predicts that “automation induced unemployment” in Western Europe could reach 16% in the next decade, but most analyses are more optimistic. The general rule seems to be that new technology eventually creates as many jobs as it destroys, and often mo re. “People who put in computers usually increase their staffs aswell,” says CPT’s Scheff. “Of course,” he adds,“ one industry may kill another industry. That’s tough on some people.”Theoretically, all unemployed workers can be retrained, but retraining programs are not high on the nation’s agenda(议程). Many new jobs, moreover, will require an ability in using computers, and the retraining needed to use them will have to be repeated as the technology keeps improving. Says achilling report by the Congressional Office ofTechnology Assessment: “Lifelong retraining is expected to become the standard for many people.” There is already considerable evidence thatthe school children now being educated in the use of computers are generally the children of the white middle class. Young blacks, whose unemployment rate stands today at 50%, will find another barrier in front of them.Such social problems are not the fault of the computer, of course, but a consequence of the way the American society mig ht use the computer. “Even in the days of the big, main-frame computers, when they were a machine for the few,” says Katherine Davis Fishman, author of The Computer Establishment,“it was a tool to help the rich get richer. It still is to a large extent. One of the great values lot the personal computer is that smaller firms, smaller organizations can now have some of the advantages of the bigger, organizations.” 21. The closest restatement of “one industry may kill another industry”. (Sent. 6, Para.1). is that .A) industries tend to compete with one another B) industries tend to combine into bigger onesC) one industry may increase its staff at the expense of another D) one industry might be driven out of business by another industry 22. The word “chilling” (Sent. 3, Para. 2) most probably means . A) discouraging B) convincing C) misleading D) interesting 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A) Computers are efficient in retraining unemployed workers.B) Computers may offer more working opportunities than they destroy. C) Computers will increase the unemployment rate of young blacks. D) Computers can help smaller organizations to function more effectively. 24. From the passage it can be inferred that .A) all school children are offered a course in the use of computer B) all unemployed workers are being retrainedC) in reality only a certain portion of unemployed workers will be retrained D) retraining programmes are considered very important by the government 25. The major problem discussed in the passage is.A) the importance of lifelong retraining of the unemployed workers B) the social consequences of the widespread use of computers in the United StatesC) the barrier to the employment of young people D) the general rule of the advancement of technology Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.We are all naturally attracted to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our own. Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar to ours.You may have noticed how people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously,we copy those we are close toor love or admire. So a sportsman’s individual way of wa lking with raised shoulders is imitated by an admiring fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employee finds himself duplicating his boss’s habit of wagging a pen between his fingers while thinking.In every case, the influential person may not consciously notice the imitation, but he will feel comfortable in its presence. And if he does notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing he is influencing people: they are drawn to him.Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends and acquaintances all their lives, and winning affection and respect in this way without being aware of their methods. Now, for people who want to win agreement or trust,affection or sympathy, some psychologists recommend the deliberate use of physical mirroring.The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customer’s movements, tilting her head in the same way to judge a color match, or folding her arms a few seconds after the customer, as though consciously attracted by her. The customer feels that the saleswoman is in sympathy with her, and understands her needs - a promising relationship for a sate to take place. The clever lawyer tryingin a law-court to influence a judge, imitates the gr eat man’s shrugging of his shoulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his speech. Of course, physical mirroring must be subtle. If you blink every time your target blinks, or bite your bottom lip every time he does, your mirroring has become mockery and you can expect trouble. So, if you can’t model sympathetically, don’t play the game.26. According to the passage, “physical mirroring,” (Sent. 2, Para. 4) means .A) the attraction to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our ownB) the comfortable feeling about people with physical qualities similar to oursC) the fact that people living or working closely together behave in a similar wayD) the imitation of the gestures or movements of those we are close to, or love, or admire27. Which of the following is NOT a deliberate use of physical mirroring, according to the author?A) A saleswoman tilts her head after her customer to judge a color match.B) A lawyer emulates the tone of the judge’s voice and the rhythm o f his speech.C) Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends all their lives. D) A naughty boy blinks every time the teacher blinks. 28. Which of the following is true?A) Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends and acquaintancesbecause they want to win their affection and respect in this way.B) The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customer’s movements because she is unconsciously attracted by her.C) The lawyer who imitates the judge is trying to influence him.D) Physical mirroring is always flattering to those who are imitated. 29. Physical mirroring can cause trouble if .A) the person mirrored finds that people are drawn to him B) the mirroring has become mockeryC) the lawyer shrugs his shoulders the way the judge does D) it has been found to be deliberately used30. The paragraph following this passage will most probably move on to . A) some ways to prevent physical mirroring from offending B) the importance of physical mirroring in daily lifeC) an example of physical mirroring by a behavioral scientistD) the troubles caused by the deliberate use of physical mirroring Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The table before which we sit may be, as the scientist maintains, composed of dancing atoms, but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms but a solid and motionless object that welive. So remote is this “real” table――and most of the other “realities” with which science deals――that it cannot bediscussed in terms which have any human value, and though it may receiveour purely intellectual credence it cannot be woven into the pattern of lifeas it is led, in contradistinction to life as we attempt to think about it. Vibrations in the ether(以太) are so totally unlike the color, purple that the gulf between them cannot be bridged, and they are, to all intents and purposes，not one but two separate things of which the second and less “real” must be the most significant for us. And just as the sensation which has led us to attribute all objective reality to a non-existent thing which we called “purple” is more important for human life than the conception of vibrationsof a certain frequency; so too the belief in God; however ill founded, hasbeen more important in the life of man than the germ theory of true the latter may be.We may, if we like, speak of consequence, as certain mystics love to do,of the different levels or orders of truth. We may adopt what is essentially a Platonistic (布拉图式的) trick of thought and insist upon postulating the existence of external realities which correspond to the needs and modes of human feeling and which, so we may insist, have their being in some part ofthe universe unreachable by science. But to do so is to make an unwarrantableassumption and to be guilty of the metaphysical fallacy of failing to distinguish between a truth of feeling and that other sort of truth which is described as “truth of correspondence” an d it is better perhaps, at leastfor those of us who have grown up in an ageof scientific thought, to steer clear of such confusions and to rest content with the admission that, though the universe with which science deals is the real universe, yet we do not and cannot have any but fleeting and imperfect contacts with it; that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-take place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which it is powerless to enrich.31. The author suggests that in order to bridge the puzzling difference between scientific truth and the world of illusion, the reader should. A) try to rid himself of his world of illusion B) accept his words as being one of illusion C) apply the scientific method D) learn to acknowledge both32. Judging from the ideas and tone of the selection, one may reasonably guess that the author is . A) a humanist B) a pantheistC) a nuclear physicist D) a doctor of medicine33. According to this passage, a scientist would conceive of a “table” as being .A) a solid motionless objectB) certain characteristic vibrations in “ether” C) a form fixed in space and time D) a mass of atoms in motion34. The topic of this selection is. A) the distortion of reality by science B) the confusion caused by emotionsC) Platonic and contemporary views of truth D) the place of scientific truth in our lives35. By “objective reality” (Last Sent. Para. 1) the author mea ns. A) scientific reality B) a symbolic existence C) the viewer’s experience D) reality colored by emotion Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Merchant and passenger ships are generally required to have a life preserver for every person aboard and, in many cases, a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children. According to United States requirements, life preservers must be simple in design, reversible capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated individual, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

One fine evening a man walked into a fast - food chicken place and bought a nine - piece bucket of chicken. He carried his chicken to the park for a romantic picnic under the moonlight with his lady.Upon reaching into the bucket, however, he received a surprise . Instead of chicken he discovered nine thousand dollars! The young man brought the bucket back to the store and asked for his chicken exchange for the money. The manager, moved by the young man’s honesty, asked for his name and told him he wanted to call the newspaper and the local news station to do a morality (道德说教) that would inspire others.“My date’s waiting, I just want my chicken,” the hungry man refused.The manager was deeply struck by the young man’s humility (谦虚). He begged to be allowed to tell the story on the news. At this the honest man became angry with the manager and demanded his chicken. “You are an honest man in a (an) dishonest world! This is a perfect opportunity to show the world that there are honest people still willing to takea stand for what is right. Please, give me your name and also the woman’s name. Is that your wife?”“That’s the problem,”said the young man. “My wife is at home. The woman in the car is my girlfriend. Now let me have my chicken so I can get out of here.”It’s easy to look good to people who don’t know you. Many of us do a good deed here and there, and everyone thinks we’re something that we are not. But God sees your heart. It really doesn’t matter how much you do or what other people think of you. What matters is what’s on the inside.T ell Me About Yourself is the most popular way for hiring managersto start most one-on-one job interviews; get this part right and the rest of the interview will just naturally fall into place.This is a job interview! They do NOT want to hear irrelevant thing. What they DO want to hear is a brief introduction to show how your career brought you to THIS point of being here with them. This means you need to show where and how you got started, the decisions and changes you made along the way and that the role you are about to be interviewed for is the right progression for your career. And do all this in about 3 minutes!You have three minutes to hold their attention and tell them how you took up your first job and gained specific skills as your career progressed.Spend most of your three minutes on your recent job and how the skills you have matches the needs of the new job.Picasso was just 23 in 1904, when he is thought to have painted"Woman Ironing." Money was tight for him. He would often starta painting, give it up and begin another using the same canvas. For years art historians have known that hidden beneath the surface of "Woman Ironing," is another painting - a three-quarter-length portrait of a man with a moustache that was first seen in images taken with an infrared camera in 1989.Firstly some experts thought the image might be a picture of Benet Soler, a Barcelona tailor.To get a clearer picture of the figure beneath the "Woman Ironing",John K. Delaney,a senior imaging scientist,was able to produce images far more detailed than any that had been seen before. For the first time the shape of the man's sharp eyes and the upturn of his mustache were seen.His sleeves are not rolled up, but buttoned,which made some people think the image could be the beginning of a self-portrait. But that theory was dopped because Picasso didn't have a mustache at the time.So Carol Stringari,director of the Guggenheim Foundation,communicated with John Richardson, Picasso's biographer,who, relying on his knowledge rather than technology, studied drawings, paintings and photographs of all the likely subjects. He concluded that it wasn’t Mateu Fernandez de Soto, a sculptor,one of friends of artist’s.But Ms. Stringari disagree. "We think it looks more like Ricard Canals, another artist."Mr Richardson argues that it is not Canals: the part in his hair, which is not on the same side as the part presented in drawings, photographs and paintings of Canals.Ms. Stringari argued. “As much research as we do, we still come up with more questions, and those questions may never be answered."毕加索是23日在1904年,当时他被认为是“女人熨烫作画。

My father arranged(安排) for me to 7 a bicycle that was just the right size for me.

A 4-year-old girl added shyly, “birds sing because they are happy, and they want to make us happy, too.” I think both answers are probably true in a way. If birds sing happily, it shows all is good in the forest: no predators (捕食者) are present, and the birds can feed, sing and do other bird things. The sound of a relaxed robin(知更鸟) singing is easy to understand because it makes us feel this way too—it’s a sound that lifts our own hearts when we hear it.What happens when a predator comes into their areas? The nearby birds quickly give an alarm(警报) call, a short sound that warns, “Danger is coming!” On hearing the sound, the other birds stop singing and fly away, the deer lift their heads and stop moving and the rabbits run into the bushes. Suddenly, the forest becomes silent.When humans walk through the woods in a hurry or while talking with a friend, we don’t see much wildlife. We may think that there aren’t many animals living there, but more likely, they know we are coming a nd hide minutes before our arrival. But if we learn to avoid setting off alarms, we can see many more wild animals without frightening them. To practice, find a place in a park and sit quietly for an hour. Take notes as the birds begin to relax and sing again. When I do this, I am always surprised at the wonderful thing animals will do when humans stay still (不动的) long enough. 1．In the writer’s opinion, the children’s answers to his question are .A．funny B．interesting C．honest D．reasonable2．W hy can’t we see much wildlife in the woods from this passage?A．Because we have set off alarms. B．Because we fail to give warnings.C．Because we come at the wrong time. D．Because few animals live there.3．The purpose of the last paragraph is to .A．show people how and when birds sing.B．ask people to learn something about birds.C．tell people how to protect birds in the wild.D．advise people to enjoy the songs of birds.4．What is the passage mainly about?A．The life of birds. B．How birds sing in the forest.C．Birds in the forest. D．The messages in birds’ singing.D16、Editor’s note: do you care about the environment (环境)? Have you ever wanted to help protect it ? Well read on, as this month we’re going to hear from overseas teens about what they do to help the environment.I can’t remember when I started collecting litt er(垃圾). But it was when I got tired of seeing litter near my home and realized that no one else was going to pick it up.I live close to a forest in Ohio, America. I can walk there in three minutes!I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was so much litter there that I became very unhappy. I decided I had to clean up the forest. I wanted to feel happy going there again.I made my first trip to clean the forest that afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes after starting to pick up litter, my bag was full! It had cans, bottles, broken glass and newspapers in it.Since that first trip three years ago. I’ve gone to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. I’m often there for three hours. It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.After each trip, I look at all the litter I’ve found. If any of it is recyclable(可回收的), I keep it.I can’t understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.I know I am only doing a small bit to help the earth, but I still think it is important.1．When did the writer make the first trip to clean the forest?A．When he was ten years old. B．Three years ago.C．When he went to a forest. D．When he was playing with his dog.2．What did he take when he went to the forest to pick up the litter?A．A book B．A dogC．A black car D．big rubbish bag3．What were not mentioned in this passage?A．cans B．bottlesC．broken glass D．old books4．How many times has the writer gone to the forest a year to pick up litter?A．Three times B．Four timesC．two times D．Six times5．Why did the writer start collecting litter?A．To help the earth B．To make some moneyC．To help other people D．To clean the forestE17、Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him today.Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only three. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something valuable to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some ar eas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled（困惑的）. All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners（举止）.” A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.1．Today we still remember Confucius because .A．he lived a poor life in his childhoodB．he had wise thoughts about the world and societyC．he traveled with his students from state to stateD．he lived during the Spring and Autumn Period2．Confucius learned music, history, poetry and sports as a child.A．by teaching himself at home B．with the help of his motherC．by going to school D．by visiting many famous teachers3．The underlined word “noble” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to .A．poor B．bright C．rich D．cute4．The correct order of the following sentences is .① Confucius worked to help his mother as a child.② Confucius had about 3,000 students in his lifetime③ Confucius’ father died.④ Confucius started the first public school in Chinese history.A．③①④②B．②③④①C．①③②④D．④③①②5．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．All study but no thinking makes people puzzled.B．No one has something worthy to be learned.C．All thinking but no study makes people lazy.D．A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.F18、It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with it is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really going in the earth（泥土）.Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. Many of the poisons(有毒物) in e-waste find their way into the environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.The Chinese government wants the country to develop, but we should find a way that isn’t harmful to th e environment and people’s life. This year, China makes a new environment protection law, the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. This is because they know best how to deal with them safely. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in near future.1．The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from .A．France B．America C．Germany D．Japan2．The underline word“buried” probably means “” in the pass age.A．回收B．焚烧C．掩埋D．毁灭3．The passage may be from .A．a newspaper B．a story book C．a cartoon book D．a novel4．The town of Guiyu in Guangdong Province .A．is the capital of the world B．has serious e-waste pollutionC．deals with e-waste safely D．is polluted by the waste water5．The passage is mainly about .A．the way in dealing with e-waste B．the protection of environmentC．the e-waste problem in China D．the need to pass a law again e-wasteⅤ.书面表达19、写作81.假如你是李明,你的英国笔友Mike给你发了一封电子邮件,请认真阅读并用英语回复。

We spent 10 days traveling around Rajasthan and I will never forget it. We saw lots of things like the Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) and we went to a tiger reserve(保护区). Our guide was called Krishna and he was really nice especially when I didn’t always understand things he would explain it to me and answer all my stupid questions. Also when I got ill with a fever，he was really kind and gave me medicine and got a priest(神父) to give me ablessingin a Hindu temple we visited，and then I got well again very quickly.There were lots of amazing parts of the holiday. One was when we got to ride on elephants in Jaipur. My sister and I rode an elephant called Lucky. We were in a camel cart but Krishna talked to the camel’s owner and we were allowed to ride on them，which was really cool. I also really liked the Taj Mahal because it was even prettier than I imagined. My sister lost her shoes. But the people in India are really kind，so we found them again. The weather was really hot which was nice because Krishna gave us lots of time to spend in the pool and relax in-between going to see all the amazing places.This was the best holiday that I have ever been on.

Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.Robots also helpdisabledpeople, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the sp eed of its owner’s walk. The owner wears a special belt (带子). This belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here”, “Turn left” or “Turn right”.In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee”.Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients’ rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.1．From the passage, we know robots cannot be ______.A．dangerous animals B．factory workersC．guide dogs D．hospital helpers2．A robot guide dog ______.A．goes in front of the blind peopleB．walk side by side with blind peopleC．has a map in its headD．helps patients with their meals3．The underlined word “disabled” means ______.A．不能的B．有害的C．失灵的D．残疾的4．Some disabled people need robots help to ______.A．take care of themselvesB．talk to other peopleC．become scientistsD．do dangerous jobs5．In the passage, the writer wants to tell us that ______.A．robots are stronger and cleverer than humansB．disabled people cannot look after themselves without the robotsC．robots will take the place of humans some day in the futureD．robots can help humans in many different waysD16、Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:1. Try to find out what you're worried aboutSometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can't, you can ask for help.2. Think of ways to make it betterThere is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you're worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:★ Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?★How do I get ready for class? Do I____my notes even when there isn't a test?★ Do I have a good place to do my homework?★ Have I tried different ways of studying?If your worry is about a fight you had, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.3. Ask for helpWhen you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.11. W: Simon, could you return the tools I lent you for building the bookshelf last month?M: Uh, well, I hate to tell you this…but I can't seem to find them.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?12. W: I'm going to Martha's house. I have a paper to complete, and I need to use her computer.M:Why don't you buy one yourself? Think how much time you could save.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?13. W: Bob said that Seattle is a great place for conferences.M: He's certainly in a position to make that comment. He's been there so often.Q: What does the man say about Bob?14. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it's possible for me to take a vacation early next month.M: Did you fill out a request form?Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?15. M: Do you want to go to the lecture this weekend? I hear the guy who's going to deliver the lecture spent a year living in the rain forest.W: Great! I'm doing a report on the rain forest. Maybe I can get some new information to add to it.Q: What does the woman mean?16. W: Wow! I do like this campus: all the big trees, the green lawns, and the old buildings with tall columns. It's really beautiful.M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style. It was popular in the eighteenth century here.Q: What are the speakers talking about?17. M: This article is nothing but advertising for housing developers. I don't think the houses for sale are half that good.W: Come on, David. Why so negative? We're thinking of buying a home, aren't we? Just a trip to look at the place won’t cost us much.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?18. M: Would you pass me the sports section, please?W: Sure, if you give me the classified ads local news section.Q: What are the speakers doing? Now you'll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Hello, Gary. How're you?M: Fine! And yourself?W: Can't complain. Did you have time to look at my proposal?M: No, not really. Can we go over it now?W: Sure. I've been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies. First of all, if we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory. New equipment should have been installed long ago.M: How much will that cost?W: We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.M: OK. We'll have to discuss these costs with finance.W: We should also consider human resources. I've been talking to personnel as well as our staff at the factory.M: And what's the picture?W: We'll probably have to hire a couple of engineers to help us modernize the factory.M: What about advertising?W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.M: TV? Isn't that a bit too expensive for us? What's wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?W: Quite frankly, it's just not enough anymore. We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our competitors.M: Will we be able to afford all this?W: I'll look into it, but I think higher costs will be justified. These investments will result in higher profits for our company.M: We'll have to look at the figures more closely. Have finance draw up a budget for these investments.W: All right. I'll see to it.Questions 19 to 20 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19.What are the two speakers talking about?20.What does the woman say about the equipment of their factory?21.What does the woman suggest about human resources?22.

There are hundreds of books, and I just don't know where to begin.W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don't you narrow it down to something like... uh... the history of the studios during that time?M: You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more than 30 books came up when I typed in "movie studios."W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want. Try adding "1930s" or "1940s" or maybe "Golden Age."M: "Golden Age" is a good idea. Let me type that in... Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That's a lot better.W: Oh... another thin you might consider... have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles?M: No, I've only been searching for books.W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. And we do have the Los Angeles.Times available over there. You might go through their indexes to see if there's anything you want.M: Okay, I think I'll get started with these books and then I'll go over the magazines.W: If you need any help, I'll be over at the Reference Desk.M: Great, thanks a lot.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23.

F & C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models.Transportation in the future won't be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.But the sky isn't the limit. In the future, you'll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon, Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, you’ll hear someone say, "The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed."Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26.

大学英语四级名校密卷（１０）（四）大学英语四级名校密卷（１０）（四）大学英语四级名校密卷（１０）（四）发布时间：2006-05-13Naturally, it is easier to join in the life of a city if one is close to the center of the city. For this reason, you may prefer to live as close to the center of the city as possible. Or, you many prefer to rent to place for only a month or two until you become more familiar with the area.Your best source of information about either houses or apartments is likely to be the local newspaper. Usually, the week’s most complete listing of houses or apartments to rent appears in the Sunday newspaper, which, in many cities, can be obtained late Saturday night. Many people looking for houses or apartments believe that they have a better chance of finding a place to live if they have all the information as soon as possible. On Sunday morning, they are ready to call or visit.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. Which may be the best source of information about houses?15. Why somebody prefers to live as close to the center of the city as possible?16. According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?Passage ThreeDr. Williams in New York carried out a study of cats, which had fallen out of windows of apartment blocks. Nine out of ten survived a fall of two storeys or more. One cat fell from a flat on the thirty-second floor and only lost a tooth. Interestingly, the cats were most at risk from injury or death if they fell from the seventh floor. Falling from either a lesser or greater height gave them a better chance of survival.What is the significance of the seventh floor? The study shows that this isthe distance cats take to reach their terminal speed, i.e. the final speed thatdoes not change once it is reached. After the seventh floor, it maybe that theyrelax and spread out their legs like a flying squirrel. This would slow them down and allow their muscles to absorb more of the force of impact, which would reduce the damage.Cats also have a very well developed sense of balance. They can change positionwhile falling so that they land on their feet. This has the advantage of spreading the force of impact with the ground over four legs and so does less damage toeach leg.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. What’s the rate of survival in a fall of two storeys or more?18. How can a cat survive when falling from a height more than the 7th floor?19. What’s the advantage of the well-developed sense of balance?20. What does this passage tell us about cats?答案与详解Part ⅠListening ComprehensionSection A1. 【答案】B【详细解答】女士告诉问路的男士向前走两个街区，向左转，再走三个街区，一直走到药店，他要找的地方就在街对面，加起来共5个街区，因此只有B2.【答案】D【详细解答】男士提及他们所有的冬季物品在星期五会打折出售，并建议女士等到星期五买，因此D3.【答案】D【试题分析】【详细解答】关键在女士话中的“the neighborhoodconvenience store was held up”一句，词组hold up在此处意为“持枪抢劫“，因此D是正确答案。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Before writing a draft, select a topic that you are familiar with, such as accomplishments other than academics, or successes/failures that have altered your lifestyle and outlook. Try to choose a topic that is interesting to the reader. The college essay is a practice used to elicit the real you, it is not the forum for penning your darkest secrets or hidden fears (anything too personal will onlybore the reader). General essays with no topic restrictions are common ground for such blunders. To avoid them, a great deal ofthought and brainstorming mustgo into topic selection.The essay should convey to the reader acts, thoughts, and people that you cherish most, with believable backing using real-life incidents. Thus, the topic you select must highlight the following three aspects of your personalitypreferences: what you are for or against.values: what matters to you most.thought-process: a focused and sincere essay signifies planning and effort.Deciding what to write is the most important step of the whole essay writing process. A common mistake made by applicants is trying to include all sorts of wildideas into the essay, without proper brainstorming and selection of key points.Thus, what starts off as an essay on your role model quickly turns into an in-depth account of your personal likes, strengths, traumas and all other aspects ofthe eating habits of your pet canary!While you compose your thoughts, don’t forget the real purpose of the essay-writing exercise! The essay must divulge a lot about the personality of the writer,yet should not put the admissions officer to sleep. Don’t forget to mention details/facts/points that you consider important in affecting his decision regarding your admission.21. The passage is mainly concerned with____.A) what a topic of an essay should deliverB) what the readers are interested in an essayC) what mistakes a writer usually makes in writing an essayD) what the real purpose of the essay-writing exercise is22. According to the passage, what are the correct methods in selecting atopic of an essay EXCEPT____?A) selecting a familiar topic to youB) choosing an interesting topic to the readersC) selecting an exhaustive topicD) choosing a topic focusing on some aspects of your personalitydoes “highlight” mean in the second sentence of the second paragraph?A) The most important part.B) Put light on.C) Pay no attention to.D) Give prominence to.is the most important step in ensuring a good topic selection?A) Altering your lifestyle and outlook.B) Proper brainstorming and selection of key points.C) Writing your darkest secrets or hidden fears.D) Brainstorming all the prospective readers.is probably discussed in the following part of the passage?A) What an essay is mainly made up of.B) How to write an essay in an effective way.C) How to make your essay more attractive.D) Why the admissions officer will go to sleep.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The Canadian economy contracted in April as it shrank by percent from March. The April shrinkage was the first monthly decline since the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Statistics Canada reported Friday.During April, manufacturing output continued to fall, while the economic impactfrom the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome affected Canada’s hospitality sector.The economic contraction - Canada’s first in 18 months - was not unexpected as it matched the forecasts of most economists.Consumer demand, a key factor to economic health, had been rolling along duringthe most recent economic expansion as Canadians snapped up houses and new vehicles. However that roll came to a stop in April.“A number of special domestic and international factors stalled this demand, which resulted in lower output for residential construction and the retailing industry,” Statistics Canada said. “There was a retrenchment in the travel-related industries, as both Canadians and international tourists stayed home.”Statistics Canada said it was impossible to isolate the total impact of SARS onthe economy.“The war in Iraq, a weaker-than-expected US economy, a stronger Canadian dollar,fluctuating crude oil prices and other events had inter-related effects in someindustries,” Statistics Canada said.Factoring out the travel sector, economic activity declined by percent, just a bit better than the whole picture for April. Manufacturing output fell by per cent - the sector’s second drop over the last three months. Durable goods manufacturers wereresponsible for much of the weakness.26.

The author’s tone in this passage is ____.A) sympathetic B) subjectiveC) objective D) criticalPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The climate of earth has fluctuated quite a bit over the last billion yearsof our planet’s history and it can be expected that the climate will continue tochange. One of the most intriguing questions in earth science is whether the periods of ice ages is over or are we living in an “interglacial,” or period of time between ice ages?The geologic time period we are now living in is known as the Holocene. This epoch began about 11,000 years ago which was the end of the last glacial period andthe end of the Pleistocene epoch. The Pleistocene was an epoch of cool glacialand warmer interglacial periods which began about million years ago.Since the glacial period known as the “Wisconsin” in North America and “Wrm” in Europe when over 10 million square miles (about 27 million km2) of North America, Asia, and Europe were covered by ice, almost all of the ice sheets coveringthe land and glaciers in the mountains have retreated. Today aboutten percent of the e arth’s surface is covered by ice; 96% of thisice is located in Antarctica and Greenland. Glacial ice is also present in such diverse places as Alaska, Canada, New Zealand, Asia, and California.As only 11,000 years has passed since the last Ice Age, scientistscan not be certain that we are indeed living in a post-glacial Holocene epoch instead of an interglacial period of the Pleistocene and thus due for another ice age in the geologic future. Some scientists believe that an increase in global temperature, as we are now experiencing, could be a sign of an impending ice age and could actually increase the amount of ice on the earth’s surface.The cold, dry air above the Arctic and Antarctica carries little moisture and drops little snow on the regions. An increase in global temperature could increasethe amount of moisture in the air and increase the amount of snowfall. After years of more snowfall than melting, the polar regions could accumulate more ice.An accumulation of ice would lead to a lowering of the level of the oceans and there would be further, unanticipated changes in the global climate system as well. Our short history on earth and our shorter recordof the climate keeps us from fully understanding the implications of global warming. Wi thout a doubt, an increase in the earth’s temperature will have major consequences for all life on thisplanet.31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) Has the Pleistocene Epoch Ended?B) Another Ice Age in the Geologic Future Is Coming?C) The Ice Ages: Are They Over?D) Glacial Ice Will Be Present in Different Places?32. Holocene ____ .A) ended about 11,000 years agoB) is an existing geologic time periodC) is the end of the Pleistocene epoch.D) is an epoch of cool glacial and warmer interglacial periodsof the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A) 96 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by ice.B) Over 10 million square miles of the earth’s surface are covered by ice now.C) Almost all of the ice sheets covering the land and glaciers in the mountainshave been hidden.D) Most of the ice on the earth’s surface is located in Antarctic and Greenlandfor the time being.34. What’s the result of an accumulation of ice?A) An accumulation of ice would make the global climate system altered.B) An accumulation of ice would make snow more difficult to melt.C) An accumulation of ice would increase the amount of moisture in the air.D) An accumulation of ice would increase the global temperature.35. What can be inferred from the passage?A) The climate of earth has fluctuated quite a bit over the last billion years.B) An increase in the earth’s temperature will have major consequences for all life on this planet.C) The information we have got makes us unable to explain the global warming completely.D) The Pleistocene began about million years ago.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The largest shark known to us, Megalodon, is extinct. Or is it? Carcharodon Megalodon, commonly known as Megalodon, is believed to have lived between 1 million and 5 million years ago and thought to have been 52 feet long. It is (or was) a shark that had a jaw 7 or more feet wide. Fairly recently, there has been some speculation about whether it is extinct or just out of reach. Some people believe that Megalodon has found a home deep in the ocean. There are many known “Living Fossils”: Coelacanth, Sea Cucumbers, Sea Urchins, Lobsters, Sea Stars. The common ones like lobsters and sea urchins are not really looked on as anything amazing. They’ve been aroundfor thousands of years or more, and are easily accessibleto us. What if they weren’t accessible and yet still existed? We would label them extinct. The discovery of a live Coelacanth, a fish long believed extinct, challenged some scientists’ long-held beliefs on extinction. There have been recent discoveries of incredibly largesquid, and deep-sea fish never before seen by scientists.In the 1960’s the US Navy set up underwater microphones around the world to track Soviet submarines. The network, known as the Sound Surveillance System, stilllie deep below the ocean’s surface in a layer of water known as the “deep soundchannel”. The temperature and pressure of the channel allow sound waves to travel undisturbed. NOAA’s Acoustic Monitoring Project has been using the Sound Surveillance System to listen for changes in ocean structure like ocean currents or volcanic activity. Most of the sounds recorded are common and of no concern. Onesound, identified in 1977 by US Navy “spy” sensors, was odd. It was obviously amarine animal but the call was more powerful than any of the calls made by anyother reported sea creature. It was too big for a whale. Could it be a deep-seamonster? One possibility was a giant squid, but no one is sure. It was named “Bloop”. Could it be Megalodon?If Megalodon is still alive down in the bottom on the ocean, we may some day soon discover it. Then what? Deep sea diving will never be the same, that’s for sure!36. The following is commonly known EXCEPT____.A) Megalodon , the largest shark , is extinctB) Megalodon is not extinct but just out of searchC) Megalodon was 52 feet long and had a jaw 7 or more feet wideD) Megalodon lived between several million years ago37. What makes the scientist doubt about the belief that Carcharodon Megalodon is extinct?A) The discovery of many “Living Fossils”.B) The discovery of the fossils of lobsters.C) The discovery of alive Coelacanth.D) The discovery of the fossils of sea urchins.38. Why did the US Navy set up underwater microphones around the world inthe 1960’s?A) To listen for changes in ocean structure.B) To listen for changes of ocean currents or volcanic activity.C) To make sure whether there was a giant squid deep in the ocean.D) To follow the track of the Soviet warships under water.39. What was special in their recorded sounds?A) A strange, powerful animal sound was heard.B) A big whale’s sound was heard.C) A sea monster’s sound was heard.D) A giant squid’s sound was heard.40. What can be concluded from the passage?A) Scientists’ discoveries always change people’s belief.B) There are too many secrets to be discovered.C) Megalodon may be still alive deep in the ocean.D) “Deep sound channel” allows sound waves to travel undisturbed.Part ⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incompletes sentences in this part.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words( not exceeding 10 words ).Only about two percent of Antarctica peeks through the thick sheets of ice thatblanket the continent. In the winter, the lowest recorded temperatures (withoutwind chill) have reached -89°C (-129°F). The continent averages kilometers in height ( miles) above sea level, making it kilometers (almost a mile) higher than the global average land height! Each year the South Pole receivesless than an inch of water...in the form of snow, of course! This amount of precipitation is similar to that of another desert, the Sahara! Katabatic winds,reaching 300 kilometers per hour (185 miles/hour), blow out of the continental interior and make the Antarctic coastal regions rather breezy. Antarctica is an important part of Earth’s system. By acting as a global heat sink, it helps control our climate and weather. The stability of the Antarctic icesheets is of concern to those living in low-lying areas; they contain enough water to raise global sea level almost 70 meters. Antarctica holds 70% of Earth’sfreshwater, and 91% of Earth’s ice! Antarctica influences our global ocean. Cold, dense, oxygen-rich waters originates in Antarctica and replenishes the ocean’ssupply of bottom water, helping to drive ocean circulation. The sea surroundingAntarctica supports marine life from tiny ice-dwelling algae to the great whales. Through investigations of Antarctica we will develop a better understanding of how this vast, ice-covered continent responds to environmental change. This knowledge will better enable us to predict the response of all of Earth’s systemsto future environmental changes.Antarctica is located in the Southern Hemisphere (the half of the globe that issouth of the equator). The continent overlies the south pole and covers 13,824,000 square kilometers (5,400,000 square miles). It is the fifthlargest landmasson the globe.Early Greek geographers hypothesized the existence of Antarctica well before anyone actually saw the continent. They believed that a landmass must exist at thebottom of the world to balance the land in the Northern Hemisphere. They calledthe mythological land “Antarctica,” meaning “opposit e the Arctic.” No one set foot on the continent until John Davis went ashore on the Antarctic Peninsula in 1820.impression on Antarctica can you get from the figures given in the first paragraph?2. Why does the author say Antarctica is an important part ofEarth’s system?3. What’s the relationship between Antarctica and the oceans on the Earth?was the first man to step on Antarctica?

2021年中山市中港英文学校高三英语第四次联考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABest Places to Visit in JulyNorway's FjordsMost travelers prefer to visit Norway's famous fjords (峡湾) in July because Norway has about 23 hours of daylight, giving travelers lots of time to take in the spectacular views of blue water, glaciers and mountains. July is also whenNorway's weather is at its warmest, about18℃, so travelers might include a light sweater in their luggage.Bastille Day inParisJuly 14 is a national day celebrating independence to the French. July 14, 1789, is the day the French stormed the Bastille, aParisprison, and officially began the French Revolution, overthrowing a royal government that often threw people in prison there for no reason at all. While the day is marked all overFrance, the biggest celebration takes place inParis.Masai Mara National ReserveThe thrill of seeing millions of animals wander the plains inKenyais not easily forgotten. One of the most popular months to visit the Masai Mara is in July when the famous wildlife migration reaches the Masai Mara and zebras are at their highest number. The best times to view the animals inKenya's most popular game park are dawn and dusk.Running of the Bulls inPamplonaTravelers who pride themselves on being fast runners may want to head toPamplonain July for the San Femin Festival. A key part of this annual festival is the running of the bulls. Six bulls are released onto a narrow street fora half-mile run, with hundreds of runners seeing if they can run faster than the animals.1. What can visitors do inNorway's in July?A. Enjoy the impressive scenery.B. Swim and fish in the fjords.C. See daylight around the clock.D. Buy heavy sweaters to keep warm.2. Which of the following is of historical significance?A. San Fermin Festival.B. Bastille Day.C. Masai Mara National Reserve.D.Norway's Fjords.3. Where will visitors interested in wild animals go?A. Norway.B. Paris.C. Masai Mara.D.Pamplona.BBeing an Olympian (奥运会选手) demands focus, determination, and a competitive spirit. Plus, representing your country is a lot of pressure. However, two athletes recently showed the world another quality that is definitely worth championing.Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi were competing in the high jump on Sunday when they reached a stalemate (僵局). Both men had managed to jump over a surprising 2.37 meters with no faults along the way. However, after three attempts neither managed the next level of 2.39 meters.An Olympic official suggested ajump-offbetween the two friends and rivals (竞争对手) to determine who would get the gold medal. But Barshim had another plan to reward their efforts.“Can we have two golds?” he asked the official.The official agreed and the two men jumped for joy. This was the first time a gold medal had been shared since 1912. “He is one of my best friends, not only on the track, but outside the track. We work together. This is a dream come true.” shared Barshim.The decision to share the medal was particularly meaningful to Tamberi. The Italian had suffered an ankle injury that prevented him from competing in the Rio Olympics in 2016, and it nearly put an end to his career altogether. So this year he brought along his cast to this year's Olympics with “Road to Tokyo 2021” to inspire him along the way.For Barshim, the gold has topped off his already impressive medal collection, having received a bronze and a silver medal in 2012 and 2016 respectively.Despite all the glory of receiving a gold medal for their countries, their achievement means so much more. These two individuals, trying to do their very best for their countries, have provided a wonderful example to all those competing in sports. They've summed up exactly what it means to take part in a global event with a generous and compassionate (有同情心的) spirit.4. What happened to Barshim and Tamberi in the competition?A. They ended in a tie.B. They quit the competition.C. They set a new record.D. They ran out of strength.5. What does the underlined word “jump-off” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Debate.B. Vote.C. Celebration.D. Extra round.6. Why was the gold medal particularly meaningful to Tamberi?A. It could bring him a lot of money.B. It may make up for his regret in 2016.C. It was a glory for his country.D. It could complete his medal collection.7. What does the author mainly want to convey in the text?A. The importance of sharing.B. The glory of winning gold medals.C. The valuable and special team spirit.D. The considerate and sharing Olympic spirit.CHave you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for quite often achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”Theboy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for－to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will endup with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.8. The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be______.A. braveB. impoliteC. foolishD. warm-hearted9. Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?A. To drive them away.B. To show what he had found in digging.C. To show how beautiful the jar was.D. To attract them to join him in the work.10. What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?A. No dream can come true.B. All work will end successfully.C. Goals shouldn’t be set too high.D. Goals will make us work harder.11. The best title for the text should be______.A. A Boy Dug a HoleB. Joy in the JourneyC. No Pain, No GainsD. Failure Is the Mother of SuccessDChinese archaeologists（考古学家）announced on Saturday that some new major discoveries have been made at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Southwest China, helping uncover another start of the Chinese civilization.Archaeologists have found six new sacrificial pits（祭祀坑）and unearthed more than 500 treasures dating back 3,000 years at the Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province. So far, archaeologists have unearthed masses of important cultural items from four of the pits, including pieces of gold masks, gold foil, bronze（青铜）masks, bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. The rest of the newly discovered pits arc still being dug up.“Surprisingly, we have unearthed some never — heard — of — before bronze items," said Lei Yu, from the Sichuan Archaeology Research Institute. 'Tor instance, some large and well-made bronze items have strange-looking dragon or cow designs on them.”In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China" according to Tang Fei, head of the digging team.The new pits sit next to two sacrificial pits discovered in 1986, with areas ranging between 3o square metersand 19 square meters. Together they form an area in which people of the ancient Shu civilization held ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and their forefathers, and prayed for good luck and peace.The Sanxingdui Ruins is regarded as one of the greatest archaeological finds of mankind in the 20th century. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the 1920s. The ruins are located in the city ofGuanghan, about 60 kilometers fromChengduand are believed to be the relics of theShuKingdom.12. What can we learn from the text?A. Totally there are 500 treasures unearthed.B. Six new sacrificial pits are under repair.C. The unearthed treasures date from 3000 years ago.D. There are six sacrificial pits at Sanxingdui.13. What does the discovery of the relics of silk products mean?A.

Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.More people than ever are drinking coffee these days——but in smaller quantities than they used to. Some manufacturers of coffee makers are trying to take advantage of this trend by developing diminutive machines that brew smaller amounts of coffee. Two US appliance companies——Black & Decker, based in Towson, Maryland, and Toastmaster Inc. of Columbia, Missouri——have recently introduced “drip” coffee makers that brew one or two cup servings of coffee. Both of the products brew the coffee directly into a cup or mug, eliminating the need for a separate carafe. Since many people make a pot of coffee in the morning but drink only a single cup, the new coffee makers should reduce the wasted coffee. Black & Decker’s Cup-at-a-Time costs $27, while Toastmast er’s Cof fee Break Retails for $20.Black & Decker also makes a coffee maker that drips coffee directly into a carry-around thermal carafe. The carafe, a glass vacuum bottle, is supposed to keep the coffee fresh for hours. The product, called the Thermal Carafe Coffee-maker, comes with a built-in lid that opens during the brewing process and close when it is completed. There are several models, including one that firs under the counter, ranging from $60 to $110 in price.21.The main purpose of the text is to ____.A) introduce a new trend of drinking coffeeB) introduce new coffee makersC) introduce two U.S. appliance companiesD) introduce the new coffee industry22.

The word “it”in Line 6, para 3. probably refers to ____.B) coffee-makerC) the brewing processD) the modelPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’severy step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism , and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum.Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious f orces “really” are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, “is nota thing , like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave . Whenwe have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example,whose natural science dominated western thought for two thousand years, believe that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning form self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.26.The aim of controlled scientific experiments is ____.A) to explain why things happenB) to explain how things happenC) to describe self-evident principlesD) to support Aristotelian science27.What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?A)The speculations of Thales.B)The forces of electricity, magnetism , land gravity.C)Aristotle’s natural science.D)Galileo’s discoveries.28.Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is ____.A)disapproved of by most modern scientistsB)in agreement with Aristotle’s theory of self-evident principlesC)in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how” thingshappenD)in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why” things29.The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea ____.A)that there are mysterious forces in the universeB)that man cannot discover what forces “really ”areC)that there are self-evident principlesD)that we can discover why things behave as they do30.Modern science came into being ____.A) when the method of controlled experiment was first introducedB)when Galileo succeeded in explaining: how things happenC)when Aristotelian scientists tried to explain why things happenD)when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality by reasoningPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise - and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmersin northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at arelatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurementsof the volume of the front and side sections of the brain , which relate to intellect(智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing does not contract with age ,and one can continue living without intellectual on emotional faculties or functions).Contraction of front and side parts - as cells die off- was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzaswa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age-using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, soys Matsuzawa are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants. Matsozawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain form shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supple the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through usingthe brain, ”he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”31.The team of doctors wanted to find out____.A)why certain people are sooner than othersB)how to make people live longerC)the size of certain people’s brainsD)which people are most intelligent32.On what are their research findings based?A)A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B)Tests performed on a thousand old people.C)Study of brain volumes of different people.D)The latest development of computer technology.33.The doctor’s tests show that____.A)our brains shrink as we grow olderB)the front section of the brain does not shrinkC)sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD)some people’s brains have contracted more than other people’s34.The word “subjects”in paragraph 5 means____.A)something to be consideredB)branches of knowledge studiedC)persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD)any member of a state except the supreme ruler35.According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?A) Lawyers.B)Farmers.C)Clerks.D)Shop assistants.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport (excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectorsmentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30%increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building. Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and percapital personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid risein consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered.Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, educationand recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation(饱和) point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered.36.The author thinks that the trend towards a rapid rise in consumption was “undesirable”because ____.A) people saved lessB) people were wealthyC) people consumed lessD) expenditures on luxuries in creased37.Expenditure increased on all the following EXCEPT ____.A) food B) automobilesC) education D) entertainment38.It can be inferred form the increase of fruit consumption that____.A) people had to spend more on transportation and furnitureB) people were more health consciousC) people were more money consciousD) the price of fruit dropped dramatically39. The word “registered” in the last line most probably means ____.A) marked B) approachedC) listed D) booked40.From this passage, we learn that the people ____.A) spent more money than they earnedB) saved more money than previouslyC) spent their money wiselyD) invested and consumed at an accelerated pacePart ⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
