New figures show that, in 2005, the US set a record for ___41___ money almost equal to the entire GDP of Greece in private charitable donations, when America was moved by the situation of the victims of the Asian tsunami, the Pakistan earthquake, and Hurricane Katrina. In 2006, Americans handedover 1.7% of their country’s economy, according to the report by the Giving USA Foundation.In the USA, there is no great difference across the social classes. Over there, the super-rich and the working poor give away roughly the same __42____ of their income. It seems both the rich and the working poor Americans ____43____ giving their money away to charity.Part of the reason is ___44_____. The American heroes of industry like Andrew Carnegie once said "the man who dies rich dies disgraced（可耻的）".

In the year when it ___49_____ the "war on terror", the US government spent just 0.13% of its GDP on overseas aid, the lowest amount of any of the 23 richest nations in the world.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Research finds that men much more easily fall romantically in love than do women, and they fall in love much more quickly than do women. For example, in one study in which men and women were asked how early in the affair(恋爱) they had become __50__ that they were in love, 20 percent of the men said they had fallen in love before the fourth date, as __51__ with 15 percent of the women. At the other extreme, 45 percent of the women were still not sure whether they were in love by the twentieth date, while only 30 percent of the men say so.___52___ do men fall romantically in love more quickly than women, but they also __53__ more tightly to a dying love affair. And they are more depressed, more lonely, and function less effectively when the __54___ ends. Men find it harder to accept the __55__ that they are no longer loved – that the affair is over and there is nothing they can do about it. Three times as many men as women ___56___ suicide after a failure in love affair. Women tend to be more ___57__ in taking steps to meet new people and make new friends.__58___, women are usually described to be more romantic than men, dreaming more often about romantic fulfillment(实现).

Women are __61___ to be more interested in discussing affairs of the heart while men are traditionally expected to talk about sports, cars and business. ___62___, in songs, which are another reflection of popular culture, it is usually the woman who is described as __63___ everything for the man she loves.The man, on the other hand, is described as has less eager feelings and often as runaways who brush aside tender emotions.Yet, nearly all love songs are written by ___64___.50.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Here are some travel tips and advice posted by both real travelers and Singapore locals.Consider eating with a fork in one hand and spoon in the other. Use the spoon to cut food and use the fork to push food on to the spoon to eat. I think this way of eating originated in Malaysia, but many Singaporean Chinese eat this way now. However, if you are eating noodles, chopsticks are more commonly used. —By SkylinkWomen in Singapore wear either trousers or longer skirts, while men wear trousers only. If you want to make yourself look like a local, forget about wearing shorts.—By Amlanza You should follow many of the tips you receive about travelling here, such as not using your left hand. But well, as you are a tourist, you will be understood anyway if you do. I am left-handed, but what can I do? I can eat with the hand, but I will eat with the left hand. Also you shouldn’t use your finger to point at things ... —By DiagevaIn Singapore, like in a lot of other Asian countries, it is a custom to remove your shoes outside the house before entering. Therefore, be careful about your socks with windows. This stems from* the belief that houses are considered a sacred place and no bad influence should be brought inside the house. Therefore, by going inside somebody’s house with shoes, you may bring in bad influence from outside. Generally speaking, if you are invited into somebody’s home, they will usually offer you a pair of house slippers (which is only to be worn inside the house). —By AnirvansenIn Singapore, it is the custom to slap your partner in the face after a joke has been told. It sounds funny, but the locals believe it shows very much respect for the speaker. —By AsmuncherIt is a Malay custom in Singapore to kiss the hand of older people to seek forgiveness or just as a show of respect. Note that the hand to be kissed is the right hand but not the left. —By Snuggie65. Where does this passage most probably come from?A. A Singapore magazine.B. A travel website.C. An advertisement board.D. A newspaper.66. When you are in Singapore, you should ________.A. eat with a fork and knifeB. wear long trousers instead of shortsC. use your hand to point at thingsD. eat with your left hand67. You should take off your shoes outside a person’s home in Singapore because ______.A. wearing your shoes into the house might bring bad influenceB. removing the shoes outside the house is a religious faith in SingaporeC. shoes are not put in the house in SingaporeD. you needn’t wear shoes in the house(B)Travel to L as Vegas and you’ll likely hear plenty about nearby attractions like the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead. These attractions are well worth seeing and are great ways to escape the lights of Vegas. In addition to these crowded tourist spots, there are also a couple of not so well known areas that are well worth your time, and cost no more than a rental car and a camera.Red Rock Canyon is located about 15 miles west of Las Vegas. It is just outside the city. When you first get to Red Rock, there i s a visitors’ center where you can check out some of the history of the canyon. You can learn about the Native Americans who first lived in the area, as well as the animals and plants in the canyon.The canyon itself is made up of red sandstone which is very striking in color when the sun hits the canyon walls. There are many hiking routes that you can stop and hike. They range from easy to difficult. The canyon is also popular for rock climbers, who can often be seen in the area.Along with the desert plan ts, you’re likely to see different animals in the conservation area. Wild sheep, deer and burros（驴子）usually wander in the land. The burros are rather gentle and will often come up to car windows looking for food. People are asked not to feed them as this increases their dependence on the tourists in the area. A picture of a burro sticking his head in your car window is often a great picture to share with friends back home.The greatest thing about Red Rock is that you can see the sights without ever leaving your air-conditioned car. If you are a little adventurous, however, you can choose one of the routes and make your way a little off the beaten path(踏出来的路). Even though you are just outside Las Vegas, a trip to Red Rock is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.68. Compared to the city of Las Vegas, spots like the Grand Canyon are _____.A. just as crowded as the cityB. less crowded than the cityC. usually dark at nightD. not as well known as the city69. What can visitors do in the visitors’ center of Red Rock Canyon?A. See different animals.B. Check out the history of the canyon.C. Learn about animals and plants in America.D. Get information about hiking.70. Why can’t visitors feed wild animals in the conservation area?A. Because it will scare and hurt the animals.B. Because the animals may attack the visitors.C. Because they can be fed only by professionals.D. Because it will make the animals too dependent.71. The underlined phrase “the hustle and bustle” may most probably meanA. busy noisy activity of a lot of peopleB. beauty and comfort of a placeC. peaceful and natural lifeD. places of interest(C)An architect has come up with an answer to rising sea levels —the "Lilypad" city that floats around the world.The "Lilypad" city will be home to around 50,000 "climate refugees(难民)" from the worst hit areas. It has been designed by a Belgian architect, Vincent Callebaut who said that it offers a long-term solution to the problem of rising sea levels.The Lilypad will be able to float around the world like a big ship. Mr. Callebaut said, "Some countries spend billions of pounds working on making their beaches and dams bigger and stronger, but the Lilypad project is actually a long-term solution to the problem of rising sea levels and it has the other purpose of providing housing for refugees from islands that have disappeared."The Lilypad, which collects and then purifies rain water, will float around the world following the ocean currents and streams. It will also feature three "mountains" to offer the residents a change of scenery. Power will be provided through a series of renewable energy sources such as wind energy and the city will actually produce much more energy than it consumes as all the carbon dioxide and the waste will be recycled.Mr. Callebaut added, "It’s an amphibio us（水陆两用的）city without any roads or any cars. The whole city is covered with plants. The goal is to create a harmonious（和谐的）relationship between humans and nature. I think trying to accommodate the millions of people left homeless by environmental changes will prove to be one of the great challenges of the 21st century."Neither the cost of building the city nor the cost of living there has been made public yet.72. According to Mr. Callebaut, the Lilypad is different from other methods in thatA. it takes a longer time to completeB. it can hold more peopleC. it provides housing for refugeesD. it saves the future trouble73. Which of the following statements about the Lilypad is NOT true?A. the Lilypad is a ship-like city floating around the worldB. the Lilypad can use wind to provide power for its residentsC. it may consume much electricity to push the Lilypad forwardD. there are green plants and mountains on the Lilypad74. The word “accommodate” may probably meanA. to provide shelter and food for peopleB. to change people’s ideas to suit a new purposeC. to pay money to peopleD. to establish good relationship among people75. From the passage we can learn thatA. the Lilypad is only an idea, which hasn’t yet been designedB. the cost of living in the Lilypad city will be too much for most peopleC. the Lilypad can provide renewable energy for its cars and trainsD. millions of people have lost their homes because of the environmental changes(D)We have reached a point in our development where we can no longer travel without conscience. Even those of us who are the most self-interested of creatures, uncaring to the state of the planet, will have to start traveling responsibly.Just imagine the great sheets of ice at the two poles melting and breaking down before our eyes. As the evidence continues to increase, it is clear that we no longer have a choice.So, what exactly does responsible tourism mean? For many years I have been travelling to Africa, getting involved in conservation discussions and contributing in some way to the future safety of Africa’s precious bio-diversity(生物的多样性). So, from the point of view of wildlife conservation, I have a clear idea of what responsible tourism is.In a word, it means that the animals and the wilderness must earn their existence in terms of tourist money. Also, by affording a living to the local communities on the land, those eco-systems will be preserved. This is tourism which contributes to the maintenance of the environment.For British tourists wanting to fit into this model, it is our responsibility to support those tour agencies, guides and journey operations which are genuinely contributing to worthwhile conservation causes. This requires critical thinking and some research. Many of the so-called eco-tourism projects are merely marketing exercises exploiting the new appetite for all green things.It also requires us to think about which means of transportation we can use to travel to these destinations. The suggestion that people stop flying is not very good and it is wrong. How would many of these communities and conservation projects survive without tourism? We, however, should think about why we are traveling, make efforts to stay longer in destinations when flying for a long time can make that journey more worthwhile, and demand the company which we travel with take steps to reduce the size of their footprint. When travelling closer to home, we perhaps should consider the train as a better choice than a plane.76. With the definition of responsible tourism, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. responsible tourism contributes to the preservation of environmentB. eco-systems can be preserved with the money from responsible tourismC. through responsible tourism projects, the company can expand its marketD. animals and wilderness also benefit from responsible tourism projects77. Many eco-tourism projects, according to the writer, areA. an effective way of preserving plantsB. just a way to attract more touristsC. aimed to enlarge the area of tourist attractionsD. very popular in Britain nowadays78. What is the writer’s opinion about the means of transportation?A. taking the train is the best choice for the British touristsB. tourists should stop flying in order to reduce pollutionC. flying makes the journey more adventurousD. we should choose transportation which benefits the destinations79. We can infer from the passage that the writer might be a(n)A. historianB. politicianC. ecologistD. tourist guideSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.80.Today women constitute 16% of the members of parliament around the world. Rwanda has the highe st level of women’s parliamentary representation at 48.8%, while the second country, Sweden, has 45.3%. Both countries operate ‘gender quotas’ schemes which guarantee that women constitute a substantial proportion of elected representatives in government. There are a wide variety of such quota schemes operating at national and local levels in countries as far apart as Argentina and Serbia, Belgium and Nepal.81. The Scandinavian countries in particular have a long tradition of equal opportunities. An extensive system of maternity rights and state childcare provision allows many women to combine family life with a career.Despite the high levels of equality, and parliamentary representation, differences still exist in terms of salaries and few women occupy senior management positions in business and industry.82. To address this issue, Norway became the first country in the world to introduce rules on gender representation for company boardrooms in January 2006. As in many industrialised countries, the profile of Norway's boardrooms shows the typical board member to be male, over 55 years of age and from a background in law or economics.The new regulations state that there should be a minimum proportion of both men and women on a company board, of approximately 40%. State-owned firms were given one year to comply with the legislation, while the country's 650 major private companies have three years. 83. Norway’s employer s' federation argued that the new law would make Norway uncompetitive and that foreign companies might not want to set up operations in the country. Many companies also protest that they will not be able to find enough suitably qualified women to fill 40 per cent of boardroom posts.84. Supporters of the law argue that it was not about getting equality between the sexes; it was about the fact that diversity creates new ideas and generates wealth. There are, it is argued, alot of educated, highly-qualified women out there with the right experience. But firms have to go and look for them. Spain passed a similar law in June 2006, but many believe that Norway's imposition of quotas seems unlikely to be adopted by other countries in Europe or the US.第二卷（45分）I.

高中英语2008年全国高考模拟试题2008届高三第九次阶段测试试题试题 2019.091,"How come the boys always get to go somewhere but we have to stay here?" Toby, my cousin, complained. Soon we had an idea of finding a hidden treasure, but we had to find out how to make this happen. We went upstairs to my parents' bedroom which was always tidy and smelled like my mother's perfume. Opening the silver lid of the glass jar, we looked nervously inside and removed my mother's pretty pearl ring and diamond ring. Mom only wore them when she got dressed up to go somewhere, so Toby believed she wouldn't miss them. We wrapped them up tightly in toilet paper and quickly ran out into the big field where we often pretended tO ride wild horses.We brought along a big kitchen spoon to dig a hole and buried the rings. "Don't tell anyone." Toby made me promise. For some unknown reason we forgot to go back later.It was almost a week before my mother realized her rings were missing and she was driven mad. The look on my face must have been a dead give-away and it wasn't long before I told the whole story about my adventure with Toby. Only then did I realize the seriousness of my crime."Show me where," my mother demanded. So off we went for the rings.But I couldn't remember exactly where! We dug in several places without success. Eventually we gave up, and amazingly my motherdidn't shout at me.One day about six years later, a farmer found a pearl ring in thesoil and he kindly handed it over to my mother, who was overjoyed.This discovery started an exciting new search. But the other wasnever discovered.Many years later, I noticed my sister wearing the pearl ring. WhenI asked my mother how, she answered, "Well, I always planned togive my good rings to my daughters someday and you were supposedto get the diamond one!"1.

Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A former town hall worker made legal history last week when she was awarded 67,000 pounds for stress brought on by her work. The ruling made Beverley Lancaster the first person to get their employer to accept legal responsibility for stress-related personal injury in a British court. It is likely to start a flood of other worker’s claims; Mrs. Lancaster’s union already has 7,000 stress-related cases on its books.The 44-year-old mother of two started a legal case against Birmingham City Council after falling ill while working as a troubleshooter in a neighborhood housing office. Dealing with rude and abusive members of the public pushed her into periods of gloom and she suffered anxiety, Birmingham county court heard. Mrs. Lancaster joined the council at 16, working her way up from junior clerk to senior draughtswoman. Her problems began when she was promoted to housing officer in Sutton Oldfield. "With no continuity, a constant high workload and little clerical support, I found it difficult to switch from one problem or situation to another," she said. "My concentration swung and I suffered sleepless nights. It made me feel like I was in a hole with no key to open the door. I would break down in tears. I was being in paperwork and at times my mind would just go blank."In awarding compensation of 67,491 pounds, assistant recorder Frances Kirkham said she understood the position of troubleshooter was very different from Mrs. Lancaster’s precious job. She rejected claims from the council that Mrs. Lancaster would be able to go back to her former profession, saying she accepted that the possibility of future work would be less capacity.After the hearing Mrs. Lancaster said she was relieved and pleased. She added, "I hope this will act as a warning to employers. Everything I did was right. The council made promises to me and they failed me. I felt isolated, let down, that I was not good enough, not wanted." The payout, the first of its kind to be decided in a county court, covers loss of wages and future loss of earnings.A spokesman for Birmingham City Council said action had been taken by the authority to review its staff and management procedures.46. Mrs. Beverley Lancaster was awarded 67,000 pounds for ______.[A] illness caused by her job[B] her successful and good luck[C] the courage she showed in court[D] the amount of work she did47. Mrs. Beverley Lancaster took legal action against the city council because ______.[A] it refused to award her for her job[B] she had to deal with rude members of the council[C] it was responsible for her problems[D] it denied her any clerical support48. The Lancaster case shows that employees have the right to get compensation if they ______.[A] are given work that they are unable to do[B] suffer mental injury caused by their work[C] are forced to do work that they don’t like[D] feel isolated, let down and extremely anxious49. It can be inferred that ______.[A] Mrs. Lancaster will find a better paid job in the future[B] the job of draughtswoman is very demanding[C] the court may hear more stress-related cases[D] the job of housing officer causes mental injuries50. If Birmingham City Gouncil plans to move an employee to a new job, it will definitely make sure that ______.[A] there is continuity between the two jobs[B] no complaints from the employee occur[C] the amount of work is reduced for the new job[D] the employee is prepared for any mental problemsText 2Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t, than what it is. And that’s probably beca use our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.Within that schooling framework, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way. They know that learning cannot be produced in us and that we cannot produce it in others—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home.Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon from September to June. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning—in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.51. It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______.[A] carry life learning though [B] tell the nature of life learning[C] learn without going to school [D] find a specially trained teacher52. According to the author, the schooling framework often ______.[A] produces slow students with poor memories[B] ignores some parts of the official curriculum[C] fails to provide enough knowledge about life[D] gives little care to the quality of teaching materials53. Life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are ______.[A] clear about why to learn [B ] careful to make a time table[C] able to respect other people [D] cautious about any mistakes54. According to the author, life learning ______.[A] could prevent one from running risks[B] could be a road full of trials and errors[C] makes a kid independent of his parents[D] teaches a kid how to avoid being scorned55. Through life learning, children ______.[A] will grow without the assistance from parents[B] will learn to communicate with the real world[C] will be driven to learn necessary life knowledge[D] will be isolated from the negative side of societyText 3To find Kim Hyung Gyoon’s office in Samsung’s R&D complex, just follow the baskets of dirt clothes. No, Kim is not running the company laundry. As chief of Samsung’s Washing & Cleaning Technology Group(WCTG), he’s the man behind a new washing machine that deposits tiny silver particles(small pieces of things) —about 1 / 10,000 the thickness of a human hair— onto clothes to make them germ-and-odor-free without the need of hot water. The device represents the first mass-produced application of this tape of nanotechnology — the science of very small structures—to home appliances. "In summer of 2002, I asked everyone in the office to take off their socks," says Kim. "took one sock from each person and placed it in a regular washing machine; the others were washed in a machine with the Ag+ Nano System. The next day, I asked everyone to check the odor of their socks after a day’s wear. One began produce a strong unpleasant smell, and the other was odorless."Kim says he came up with the idea five years ago while on a business trip to Japan, where he learned of a brand of socks that retained their freshness even after many days of unwashed wear and tear. Tiny sticks of sliver with germ-killing chemicals were woven into the fabric. When he got back to Seoul, Kim applied the principle to washing machines.According to the Korea Testing & Research Industry, Samsung’s device kills 99.9% of germs. Kim says garments stay germ-free for up to a month after being laundered. The Ag+ Nano device went on sale in March 2003 and costs around $1,150; the revolutionary technology is also being used in Samsung’s refrigerators and air conditioners.No wonder: consumers seem to a little sliver in their spin cycles. S ince Samsung’s nano-armed products were first launched, they have brought in an estimated $779 million in revenue. Overall, nanotech has been one of science’s fastest-growing fields in recent years, with potential applications in fields as diverse as energy production and toothpaste manufacture. The nanotech market is projected to be worth $1 trillion by 2015.56. Which of the following best describes the nature of Kim Hyung Gyoon’s work?[A] Product development. [B] Market investigation.[C] Research designing. [D] Sales promotion.57. One advantage of nano-armed washing machines is that ______.[A] one wash-load is much larger than before[B] the clean-up is done with an additional benefit[C] cleaning powder is no longer necessary[D] a lot of water could be saved58. In terms of nanotechnology, Kim was the first ______.[A] to use it in washing machines [B] to come up with the idea[C] to introduce it to Korea [D] to apply it to socks59. The author believes that the future of nanotechnology will be ______.[A] conspicuous [B] distinctive[C] foreseeable [D] promising60. This text centers on ______.[A] the success of an enterprise[B] the application of a technology[C] the market share of Samsung’s WCTG[D] the mass-production of a home appliancePart BDirections:Read the following texts in which 5 people expressed their opinions about the concept of "happiness". For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G ) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Heather McCoyEntering a bookstore, one cannot help but notice entire shelves devoted to books boating knowledge of the true path to happiness.Whether this wave of infomercials and books can actually make people happier is the question. Happiness cannot be found by adhering to a narrow set of steps or rules. Finding happiness is not as simple as following a how-to manual, it’s something that every person must find in his or her own way.Gary RussellDoes happiness grow proportionally with wealth? Hardly.Experiences teaches us material satisfaction comes only when one finds himself wealthier than those around him; and, in a like manner, one feels of being lowered when confronting a billionaire, while a worker with a monthly salary of several hundred dollars becomes the envy of the villagers in remote mountainous regions.David NivenTrue happiness is not a result from human action. Results are temporary whereas happiness is everywhere and can neither be created nor destroyed. True happiness is realized by understanding one’s own SELF. With true happiness there is no place for disappointments! True happiness may mean pain and restraint in the beginning but will lead to eternal joy and freedom. To achieve true happiness, we should isolate and remove the negatives.Joshua PartyHappiness is a state of mind. You can be happy in almost any situation. Likewise, you can be unhappy in an equal number of situations. In the end, it’s your decision.If one can control one’s unhappiness, then one must be able to control one’s happiness. As far as I know, the Human Genome Project has not been able to identify a single part of any human chromosome which is responsible for happiness.Laura JohnsonSo what makes me a happy person? Studying to be a journalist because I loved to write, not because it pays a lot of money. Skiing in the winter snow and swimming in the summer sun. Spending time with my close friends from home that like the real me just as much as the old me. Being in a stable family. Reading romance novels and watching bizarre movies. Having a boyfriend who knows more about rock and roll history than I do.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statements.Note: there are two extra statements.61. Heather McCoy62. Gary Russell63. David Niven64. Joshua Party65. Laura JohnsonStatements[A ] Happiness lies in persistent pursuit.[ B ] Happiness is in your own hand.[C ] Freedom is positively related to happiness.[D] Happiness is based on comparison.[E] There does not exist a guide to happiness.[F] Happiness is a balance between man and nature.[G] Happiness is all about doing what you want to.Section ⅣWritingDirections:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part AYour TV broke down only one week after it was bought. Write a letter of complaint to the store where yourTV set was bought,1. to express what is wrong with your TV set;2. to make your request (change for a new one, or return the broken one ... );3. to urge the store to give an early reply.You should write approximately 100 words.

高中英语2008年全国高考模拟试题2008年浙江省绍兴市高三教学质量调测试题 2019.091,ABC News anchor (节目主持人) Peter Jennings died on Aug.7, 2005 at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer. ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings’death, it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking. “I want to give a message,”Barbara Walters said. “If you have kids who are smoking, tell them that we lost Peter.”Lung cancer is the worst killer in America, taking more lives each year than any other cancer, according to the America Cancer Society. About 160,440 Americans die each year of cancer, making up 28 percent of all cancer deaths. More than 87 percent of lung cancers are smoking related.Dr. Derek Raghavan, director of the Cleveland Clinic’s Taussing Cancer Center, said that once a person stops smoking, he starts getting better. Three to five years after quitting, the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half. Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term smoking. The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn’t clear up, coughing up blood and sharp chest pains.People with those symptoms should see a doctor. Raghavan saidthere have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer, including uses of radiation and surgery and drugs. “But the fact is that stopping smoking is the most important thing we can do,” Raghavan said. “There is no treatment that even comes close.”1. Anchor Peter Jennings died of lung cancer which was possibly caused by _____.A. his bad eating habitB. overmuch workC. long-term smokingD. the old age2. The first paragraph mentioned Peter Jennings’ death in order to _____.A. make him the main character of the passage.B. warn the smokers of the danger of smokingC. introduce the topic to be talked aboutD. make him better-known than before3. The underlined word “quitting”in the fourth paragraph probably refers to _____.A. doing more exerciseB. giving up smokingC. getting over lung cancerD. staying in hospital4. To fight against lung cancer, what matters much to smokers is _____.A. to receive the treatment of lung cancerB. to do exercise regularlyC. to see a doctor in timeD. to stop smoking2,Comets（彗星）orbiting a distant star have been found to contain water, the first time the ingredient(成份) considered key to life has been discovered in objects circling a star other than our sun. The discovery, announced by scientists, adds weight to the theory that other planetary（行星的）systems may be necessary to the formation of life as we know it.Scientists have no way of knowing whether life ever existed on any comets or planets orbiting this particular star, known as CW Leonis and located some 3,000 trillion miles (4,800 trillion kilometers) from Earth in the constellation Leo(狮子座).But they are certain that no life could exist there now. That is because as it burns out the last of its nuclear fuel, the star has swelled（膨胀） and increased in luminosity（发光度）, engulfing(吞没) nearby objects and melting comets in orbits as distant as Neptune is from the sun-releasing the water that astronomers spotted using a radio telescope in out space. “ The existence of these bodies is measured through their destruction(毁灭)” said Gary Melnick, chief scientist on the project and an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Mr. Melnick said the discovery was of particular importance because if there was a reservoir of water farther from the star, there could have been water closer to the star, bolstering theideas that life may have existed outside our solar system. Comets are believed to have helped build life on Earth, Mr. Melnick and other scientists said. Besides bringing water to the oceans, they are also thought to have transported important chemicals as they went through Earth’s atmosphere in past eons(远古时代). “Comets are some of the smaller bodies in the solar system and form the seeds of planets themselves,” said Saavik Ford, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University who first suggested that the water may have come from evaporating(蒸发的) comets. “The fact that we found water is interesting because it is necessary for the formation of life.1. According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT true?A. No life ever existed on any comets or planets orbiting CW Leonis.B. Neptune is a planet which orbits the sun.C. Water has been found beyond our solar system.D. CW Leonis belongs to constellation Leo.2. The underlined word “bolstering” in paragraph 6 means _____.A. objectingB. inferringC. denyingD. supporting3. What would be the best title for the text?A. Water is necessary for life.B. Water found in comets.C. New discovery in spaceD. Comets and stars.4. We can infer from the passage _____.A. All the chemicals on Earth were from comets.B. There couldn’t be life on Earth without comets orbiting a distant star.C. The earth probably came into being from a comet.D. Scientists are trying to find water on CW Leonis.3,For those who have lonely nights and have trouble falling asleep, he is proving the ideal partner. This is a man who does not snore (打鼾) in bed. And he is happy to wrap a comforting arm around his dearest until morning arrives.He does exist. He is the body-shaped pillow, the latest sleeping aid from Japan.This pillow comes without a head and is filled with foam. It’s made by Kameo and has a “body” and a flexible arm that can be curled around its owner.About 1,000 of the pillows have been sold since they went on sale in Japan last year and many buyers say they are pleased with their sleeping companion.“This pillow makes me feel relaxed because I can hold the arm and feel something warm at my side,” said 34-year-old radio DJ Junko Suzuki.But according to Kameo, the pillow is more than just an emotional help for those tired of spending the night alone. And it is shaped, the firm says, to support its partner on both sides to ensure anight of good sleep.The idea is to curl up in between the body and the flexible arm. The head just rests on the pillow’s “arm muscles”.“My grandmother used to say that there is no more comfortable pillow than another person,” said the firm president, Tomoki Kakehashi. “So I thought that maybe people would want to sleep on a pillow shaped like an arm.”The pillows, on sale only in Japan for the moment, cost 8,500 yen(around US$80) each and come with shirt-or shirt-shaped pillow covers in blue, pink or green.1. Which of the following statements isn’t mentioned in the text?A. Many buyers are satisfied with the body-shaped pillow.B. The pillows are sold only in Japan at present.C. The inventor decided to develop new market in the US.D. The idea of body-shaped pillow is from what an old lady said.2. The underlined word in paragraph 6 “Kameo” may be the name of _____.A. a managerB. the firmC. a buyerD. another radio DJ3. The purpose of the passage seems_____.A. to introduce the latest sleeping aid, the body-shaped pillowB. to advise people to use the body-shaped pillowC. to tell how the body-shaped pillow is inventedD. to tell how the body-shaped pillow works4. The body-shaped pillow is popular with users because _____.a. users can fall asleep easily using the pillowb. buyers can afford the pillowc. the pillow ensure a night of good sleepd. the pillow can provide an emotional helpA. a; b; cB. b; c; dC. a; c; dD. a; b; d4,For many years, I was convinced(使相信) that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change ourbody, but in vain（徒劳地）. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.1. The passage tries to highlight(强调) the importance of _____.A. body sizeB. attitudes toward lifeC. culture differenceD. different beauty standards2. The word “everything” in paragraph 2 means _____.A. all the problemsB. all the possessionsC. the whole worldD. the absolute truth3. What can be inferred about the author?A. The author is a Samoan.B. The author succeeded in losing weight.C. The author has been troubled by her /his weight.D. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.4. According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight firstand gained it back later?A. They feel angry about the regained weight.B. They pay little attention to the regained weight.C. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.5,Daily Telegraph bestseller for last weekA Special RelationshipThis novel is about a woman whose entire life is turned upside down in a very foreign place despite the fact that people there speak her language. Sally Goodchild is a 37-year-old American who, after nearly two decades as a highly independent journalist, finds herself pregnant (怀孕的) and in London. She married an English foreign correspondent, Tony Thompson, whom she met while they were both on assignment in Cairo.

She’s annoyed by Beck’s constant presence, and she is not sure if he’s trying to help or throw her off the trail. Nor does she trust her father or her older brother, Chris, who is as prime suspect in Danny’s murder.As she tries to figure out how the handsome, charming Beck fits into the picture, she finds herself deeply attracted to him.

You must have heard these words like how happy it is to be a child. But would you 36 change places with a child? Think of the years at school: the years 37 living in constant fear of examinations and school 38 . Every movement you make, every thought you think is 39 by some adults. Think of the 40 you had to go to bed early, you had to eat 41 thing that was supposed to be good for you. Remember 42 “gentle〞pressure was given to you with words like “If you don’t do as I say, I will…〞. I’m sure you will never forget!43 , these are only part of child’s 44 . No matter how kind and loving parents may be, children often 45 from some illogical(不符合逻辑的) 46 since they can’t understand the world around them.

Teenagers start to 51 their parents and this causes them great 52 . There is a complete lack of self confidence during this time. Adolescents pay much attention to their 53 and the impression they make on others. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy(笨拙的). Feelings are strong and hearts 54 broken.

My 36 of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were 37 with the simple aim to beat he football team across the field from us tonight.Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates 38 . Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling 39 it were a film of the opposing teams play. Some seemed a bit more 40 , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field, 41 what will happen in 120 minutes.Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how 42 this game was for the season, between two of the stat e’s top teams ——my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (冲动) it needed to 43 .At 7: 10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over the game 44 and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem (国歌) 45 that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final 46 . But tonight was different. On this clear night he 47 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.〞Even 48 the “get〞came out of his mouth, we were already 49 our way out of the door.Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a 50 of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and 51 my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.Seconds later, the team ran onto the 52 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy 53 from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the 54 of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about〞and 55 that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.36.

It’s China’s second human spaceflight, carrying two astronauts for 5 days in low Earth obit.ShenzhouⅥcarried two astronauts on the mission, lasting 119 hours(Shenzhou Ⅴcarried one astronaut and lasted 21.5hours).For the very first time, the astronauts were able to perform science experiments in the spacecraft. Astronauts can enter the orbital module〔轨道舱〕to conduct experiments, instead of being stuck in the reentry capsule〔返回舱〕as their predecessor，Yang Liwei.The reentry capsule has returned to the Earth with the astronauts, but the orbital module continues working in space as an independent satellite, which carries out more scientific experiments.China began its manned space program in 1992, with the first four unmanned test flights in1999, 2001, 2002 and first human spaceflight in 2003. The ShenzhouⅥmission is the last mission of the first phase(阶段) project, which aims to send humans into space successfully. The second phase goals include space walking and a temporary space lab.The shape of the ShenzhouⅥ spaceship is no different from that of the ShenzhouⅤ. But two technologies are added to the ShenzhouⅥ.I. A visual system is installed, so that the land monitors can see if the spaceship successfullyblasts off (点火别离) after the rocket is launched and reaches the targeted height.II. More comfortable:⑴The space suits are lighter. The new space outfit(宇航服)are mainly composed of a spacesuit, helmet, gloves and space boots.⑵Astronauts have up to 50 different kinds of space food include heated food.⑶A new toilet is available.⑷Astronauts can take turns to sleep in sleeping bags.56.When was the first China human spaceflight sent into space successfully?A. 1992B. 1999C. 2003D. 200557. Which of the following statements about ShenzhouⅥ is NOT true?A. It is China’s second manned spaceflight.B. It stayed in space much longer that ShenzhouⅤ.C. A new toilet is available in ShenzhouⅥ.D.

Members of the public bring their cherished(珍贵的) possessions along to a place in their neighbourhood to be valued by antique(古董) experts . Obviously the experts see a lot of assorted junk , but there are times when even the hardened professionals find it difficult to conceal their excitement on making an unexpected discovery . That brown paper bag that an old lady has brought to the table with something to be valued contains—yes—a rarity , a masterpiece , a good piece of jewellery , …There was a time when antiques dealers and experts had a reputation for being a little pretentious(自负的) ——knowledgeable , but pretentious . That has changed , due partly to the influence of programmes like the Antiques Roadshow , and the experts now are bent on being as helpful as they can . I remember a conversation just like this in a recent programme.“I suppose y ou’d like to know what it’s worth,〞said the expert , staring at a fine bottle .“Well , yes〞, said the owner , adding as expected , “but naturally I wouldn’t want to sell it . Sentimental value〔情感价值〕, you know.〞“Yes.〞replied the expert . “Anyway , as I said , it is very rare , and it’s worth a mere ￡500.〞And before the gasps of fascinated onlookers had died away , he added quickly , “Of course , if it had been in perfect condition , it would have been worth ten times that——at least ten times.〞Such things make good television , if nothing else .60. What do all the people bring when they come to the Antiques Roadshow?A. Rarities and masterpieces .B. A lot of junk .C. Cherished and valuable antiques .D. All kinds of old things .61. How are antiques experts different now ?A. They won’t talk to people much .B. They are very helpful .C. They know less than they used to .D. They are more pretentious .62. “Sentimental value〞is a value which _____ .A. is purely practicalB. is based on tender feelings aloneC. an expert gives to an articleD. is the true market value63. The bottle would probably have been worth ￡5,000 if it _____ .A. had not been so unattractiveB. had been signed by the makeC. had not been damaged somehowD. had not carved with a designUnit 9 Wednesday—Oct. 10ASir,The majority of your readers must have been surprised and shocked to read a letter from Mr R. Hogg, published in last Wednesday’s Herald. Mr. Hogg seems to think that his own convenience and that of motorists in general are the only things that matter in our city.I would have more sympathy〔同情〕with Mr Hogg if he just made suggestions to improve the situation. No doubt his problems would be partly solved if the local government built a multi-storey car park in the city center, instead of encouraging motorists to use public transport. All the same, judging from the tone of Mr Hogg’s letter, I suspect that motorists who are so careless of pedestrians’〔行人〕safety that they would rather park their cars on the pavement than hold up the traffic would probably be too lazy to use a multi-storey car park if they had to walk a few hundred yards to their destination〔目的地〕afterwards.My main reason for writing, however, is much more important. Does Mr Hogg realize that, according to figures issued by the Department of Transport, 13,000 people were knocked down in Britain last year because of cars being illegally parked either on the pavement or on crossings? In fact, although the total pedestrian casualty〔伤亡事故〕rate has fallen over the last ten years, there has been an increase in accidents caused when pedestrians have to step out into the road to avoid parked cars on the pavement and cannot see oncoming traffic.I cannot share Mr Hogg’s view that the government have paid little attention to “long-suffering motorists〞; and I think the punishment for dangerous parking should be made severe enough to stop all motorists from breaking the law in this way.A. WALKER,Proudfoot Lane, Carchester68．The letter above is written in answer to the letter by.A．an editor B．a certain Mr R. HoggC．some readers D．some motorists69．The topic for the two letters is .A．parking problems in the city centerB．building a multi-storey car park in the city centerC．public transportD．the increase in accidents caused by parked cars on the pavement70．What Mr. A. Walker does want to make known in his letter is that .A．the total pedestrian casualty rate has fallenB．careless parking may cause serious traffic accidentsC．the convenience of motorists in general matters muchD．the safety of pedestrians matters little71．In Mr A. Walker’s opinion, serverer punishment should be given to .A．all the careless motorists B．all the law breakersC．all who step out into the road D．all who do dangerous parkingBTEHRAN, March 9,2006 (Xinhuanet) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowedon Thursday that Iranian people would never give in to bullies of the western countries over its nuclear program one day after Iran's nuclear file was sent to the U.N.

Which is the best title for this passage?A.Iranian People Never Give in to BulliesB.Iranian People Never Stop NukeC.Iranian People Never Talk to Western WorldD.Iranian People Never Give up75.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Iran desires to discuss the nuclear issue with the UN.B.Ahmadinejad made a tough answer to the western world.C.Iran has no undeniable right to develop nuclear technology.D.ElBaradei’s report was handed over to the UN before Wedne sday.Unit 9 Thursday—Oct. 11In Glasgow , Scotland , a young lady, like a lot of teens today , got tired of home . Thedaughter objected to her family’s 36 lifestyle and said , “Idon’t want your God . I am leaving !〞She left home .Before long , she was disappointed and unable to find a job , so she took to the streets to do everything she could to 37 . Many years passed by , her father died , her mother grew 38 , and the daughter became more and more entrenched (固执) in her way of life .No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years . The mother , having 39 her daughter’s whereabouts , went to the poor part of the city in 40 of her daughter . She stopped at each of the rescue missions with a simple 41 . “Would you allow me to 42 this picture ?〞It was a picture of the smiling , gray-haired mother with a handwritten 43 at the bottom : “I love you still…come home !〞One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal . She sat 44 listening to the service , all the while letting her 45 wander over to the bulletin board . There she saw the picture and thought , could that be my mother ?She couldn’t 46 until the service was over . She stood and went to look .It was her mother , and there were those words , “I love you still…come home !〞47 she stood in front of the picture , she wept . It was too 48 to be true .It was night , but she was so 49 by the message that she started walking home .50 the time she arrived it was early in the morning . She was afraid and 51 her way timidly . As she knocked , the door 52 open on its own . She thought someone must have broken into the house . Concerned for her mother’s 53 , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me ! It’s me ! I’m home!〞The mother couldn’t believe her eyes . They fell into each other’s arms . The daughter said , “I was so worried and 54 someone had broken in.〞The mother replied gently , “No, dear .

But Coke is optimistic it can regain its oldmagic , and is banking on a new slogan : “Welcome to the Cokeside of life.〞BREAKTHROUGH HIT?With PepsiCo about to surpass Coke as the beverage king on Wall Street—Pepsi’s market capitalization has soared in recent years to $97.9 billion, putting it less than a billion dollars behind its rival (对手) —the heat is on Coke . It’s set to launch a new marketing campaign in March , 2006. And having taken a quick look at Coke’s investor presentation on Dec. 7 inNew York , my sense is that Coke may be moving in the right direction .Given the continued shift by consumers away from soda—Coke’s stronghold —and into alternative beverages like juice , tea , and water , Coke badly needs a breakthrough hit . And given that shift away from soda , some analysts wonder whether even the catchiest new ads will be enough to put the fizz back into Coke .SAME OLD , UPDATED.The new flavors (口味) of PowerAde sports drink will probably enable Coke to continue stealing market share from PesiCo’s Gatorade brand . And Coke is getting a little more creative with packaging , including new , aluminum bottles of Coke that will be sold in nightclubs , and an 8.4-ounce “100 calorie〞version of its flagship Coke that will appeal to women who want fewer calories and will like the fact that the small can will fit in their purse . I doubt whether other new products will be successful , including a new coffee-flavored soda called Coke-Cola Blak that I tried . Think carbonated coffee . But I’m not sure if the product , which Coke is pitching as an afternoon pick-me-up for the 35-and-over set , is going to pull people away from their afternoon Frappucino fix . And my opinion is that V ault , an orange-flavored energy drink , will have just as much trouble unseating Mountain Dew among teens as did Coke’s last attempt , a product called Surge .If there is one concern I have about the fresh offerings Coke plans to launch this year , it appears that many of them are simply new brands , not new products .68．According to the passage , we can know that .A．Coke mainly depends on new products recentlyB．Nowadays Coke is comparatively less popularC．PesiCo has taken the place of CokeD．Coke has few new brands69．The underlined word “soared〞means .A．achieved B．dropped C．increased D．failed70．When the middle-aged people feel tired , what would they prefer to drink in order to continue their work ?A．Vault. B．Surge. C．Coke-Cola Blak. D．Frappucino. 71．What is the best title of the passage ?A．Troubles in Coke Company B．Varieties of New ProductsC．The Importance of New Advertisements D．The Relationship Between Coke and PepsiB·Early results show that Ellen Johnson Sirleaf , an economistand experienced politician , has won a 59.4 percent majority ofvotes cast in Liberia’s run-off , making it certain for her tobecome Africa’s first elected woman president .·The former Manchester United and Northern Ireland soccerlegend George Best , the dazzling soccer icon of the 1960s and70s who enjoyed himself in a hard drinking playboy lifestyle,died Friday Nov. 25, 2005.·South Korea’s pioneering stem cell scientist Hwang Woo-sukapologized last week that two members of his team haddonated their egg cells for research .
