Since Kyle’s grandfather was in the printing business, he 41 bring decorative cards for Kyle, who 42 with the idea of selling them 43 . He made a large sum of momey-$80-for the hospital. His next 44 was a candy sale at this school, Palmetto Elementary, and it has turned into an annual 45 .And then people in Miami read about his efforts and were inspired to 46 to donate more money and toys, and things just snowballed.Within a year Kyle’s idea turned into an official fund-raising organization called Kids That Care Cancer Fund.

Why are you here? You should be in preson!”“You never thoutht about the result of charging a gang(犯罪团伙) leader, did you? Because of you, I was in prison for 15 years.

These ancestors, known variously as the absket makers, the Ancient ones, had lived in the area for at least 2000 years. Theey were an advanced agricultura people who used irrigation to help grow their drops.The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of earth and wood. Anasazi houses were originally built underground and were entered from the roof. But around the year 700 A. D., the Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and join them together into multistoried complexes, which the Spanish called villages. Separate underground rooms in these villages—known as kivas or holy places—were set aside for religious ceremonies. Each kiva had a fireplace and a hole that was believed to lead to te underworld. The largest villages had five stories and jore than 800 rooms.The Anasazi family was ruled by women. The sacred objects of te family were under the control of the oldest female, but the actual ceremonies were conducted by her broter or son. Women owned the rooms in thevillage and the crops, once they were harvested. While still growing, crops belonged to the men who, in contrast to most other Native American groups, planted them. The women made baskets and pottery; the men wove cloth and made jewelry.Each village had two chiefs. The village chief dealt with land arguments and religious affairs. The war chief led the menin fighting during occasional conflicts that broke out with neithboring villages and directed the men in commnity building projects. The pokitical and social organization of the Anasazi made it almost impossible for oter groups to conquer them.64. The Anasazi people were considered agriculturally advanced because of the way they ______ .A. stored their cropsB. harvested their cropsC. watered their cropsD. planted their fields65. Who would have been most likely to control the sacred objects of an Anasazi family?A. A 20- year – old manB. A 20- year – old womanC. A 50- year – old manD. A 50- year – old woman66. What can we infer from the passage?A. The presence of the Spanish destroyed Anasazi society.B. The Anasazi benefited from trading relations with the Spanish.C. Anasazi society exhibited a clear division of labor.D.Conflicts between neighboring Anasazi villages were easily solved.DThe brain of an insect isn’t very big. But insects are someow still able to make lots of important decisions. Bees, ants and roaches(蟑螂) build hives(巢穴)with thousands of workers doing specialized work. The jobs are done without a head or even a plan. How do insects manage this?To solve the mystery, scientists in Belgium spent months building robotic roaches and then putting them among real roaches. The final goal of the research is to find out how the simple behavior of individuals gives rise to a collective decision. The roach is a good starting point for trying to answer the big question because its social system is simple enough for scientists to study.The first step was to build robots tat real roaches would accept as their own. Although the robotic roaches don’t look much like the real thing, they have similarities with them in three key ways: they naturally head toward dark areas, they are influenced by the beavior of other roaches, and even more importantly, they smell like roaches.The nest step was getting the robotic and real roaches t work together on common tasks. In experiments, the robots would collectively head towars a dark place, copying the behavior of natural roaches. That got the researchers wondering: if you program te robotic roaches to go woward the lighted place, would the real roaches follow, going against their natural instincts.(本能) ?They will –it turned out. Many of the real roaches followed the robots to a lighter shelter. But influence turned out to be a two- way street. On occasion, the real roaches were able to override the programming of the fobot roaches and get them to turn into dark hiding places. Being social creatures, both the robotic and natural roaches were paying attention to and following the example set by others.In theory, it would be possible to create a robot that could influence collective decision-making in humans. To do this, researchers would have to invent a robot that people would accept. Fortunately, the technology isn’t there yet.67. Why do scientists choose the roaches to study?A. They are social creaturesB.Their social system is simple.C.They are able to build their hives quite well.D. It is easy to create robotic ones.68. The robotic roaches are accepted by real ones because of ll of the following EXCEPT that_________________ .A. they smell like real onesB. they look exactly like real onesC. what they do are somewhat influenced by other roachesD. they naturally head toward dark areas69. What’s the author’s attitude to creating a fobot that would influence collective decision- making in humans?A. UninterestedB. PositiveC. NegativeD. Doubtful70. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?A. Robotic RoachesB. Scientists’ ResearchC. Amazing InsectsD.

Following increasing demands for the return of artistic objects that were removed decades or centuries ago, some of the world’s leading museums have signed a declaration that they will not hand back the ancient artifacts(器物)to their countries of origin. They say people all over the world have only been able to fully appreciate ancient civilizations because these museums have provided access to these artistic objects. The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America. For example, Egyptian culture would not have become so well-known if the museums had not put Egyptian mummies on show.The British Museum has not signed the declaration, but says it fully supports it. Over the recent years, it has faced growing pressure to hand back the Elgin Marbles, sculptures taken from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, in the 19th century. But the British Museum has said that the Museum is the best possible place for them.“They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim, which is to show the world to the world,”said the director of the museum. 55.What reason do some museums provide for NOT handing back the ancient objects?A.Only in these museums can the objects be fully appreciated by the world.B.It is better for those objects to remain at a certain place than to be moved around.C.They need those well-known ancient objects to attract people from all over the world.D.Ancient civilizations can only be admired when they are removed from their home countries 56.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the“countries of origin”in the article?A.Turkey. B.Britain. C.Egypt. D.Greece.57.What does the underlined phrase“the world”mean in“show the world to the world”?A.The global village. B.The leading museums.C.The ancient civilizations. D.The international public.58.The British Museum is to hand back the ancient artifacts to their countries of origin.A.ready B.desperate C.unwilling D.supportive(C)Even though she’s just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five languages. She’s a good reader. She can tell time and do simple math, including multiplication and division. Cindy looks like an average doll, with long, blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and a button nose.But loaded with some devices, Cindy is the first doll that can see, think, and do as she’s told. The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sony’s barking RobotAibo, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late 1990s. Cindy takes Aibo’s innovations(创新)one step beyond: she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors and words, and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears to be learning.The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent a decade trying to see how much human nature it could breathe into an inanimate(无生命的)object. Its engineers began creating minibots that sense light, sounds, and pressure. However, without the sense of sight, their toys seemed to be lacking in one of the abilities that life-forms use to react to their environment.So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindy’s case, it’s a multistep process. When presented a text like“I love you”and asked“Can you read this?”Cindy identifies it as one of 70 preprogrammed commands. Then the inbuilt digital camera scans a 15-degree radius in search of number-or letter-shaped objects. Buried in her stomach, Cindy’s 16-bit microprocessor compares the text with her database of 700 words. If it’s a match,“I love you,”she says. 59.This passage most likely appears in a .A.medical report B.classified adC.science journal D.music magazine60.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Robot Aibo?A.It could recognize shapes and colors.B.It could respond to spoken commands.C.It came onto the market no later than 1990.D.It was created much later than Cindy Smart.61.The underlined“it”in the third paragraph most likely refers to .A.the process B.the object C.the doll D.the company 62.According to the passage, how can Cindy“see”?A.She recognizes any text as“I love you.”B.She is equipped with a camera to search for text.C.She is instructed by an engineer standing next to her.D.She makes contact with the shapes of the text with her stomach.(D)If it takes Kate twenty seconds to add 12 and 26, while Terry can do the sum in a quarter the time on his pocket calculator, how much better grades will Terry get than Kate in the maths exam?Pocket calculators are as cheap to buy as a pair of shoes, and as essential to thousands of school children as a pencil and eraser. Schools have tried to limit their use, by allowing them in science lessons, to save time but by not allowing them to be used in maths classes. When children do their homework, a pocket calculator is a must. Nowadays in Britain, calculators can be used freely in school examinations, and already in many schools the only sound to be heard during a mathematics examination is the sound of children tapping out their answers.Many parents feel that their children are not being given a basic understanding of the facts of maths.“The process of addition, division, subtraction and multiplication is part of a training in logic which is important for every child. It teaches them to take series of steps necessary in coming to a conclusion,”says a local maths teacher.“With a calculator, the child can reach the right answer, but have no idea at all how he got there.”Another teacher in the same school disagreed.“Of course the children understand the principles(基本原理)behind what they do on the calculator. It makes nodifference to the mental processes they go through, except to make them much faster, and less boring.”“It’s far easier to teach them to completely understand the idea of division and multiplication by making them understand which button they need to push than to talk about apples being cut in pieces,”said another teacher, who uses calculators to keep the interest of his class.In any case, the pocket calculator is here to stay; it’s taking the stress out of mental labor in all sorts of ways.63.From the passage we learn that .A.in Britain students are encouraged by schools to use pocket calculatorsB.parents use the calculators to keep the interest of their childrenC.people have different opinions on whether pocket calculators should be used in maths classesD.all the teachers agree that pocket calculators should be used in classes but not in school examinations64.As a local maths teacher says, children can reach the right answer with a calculator, but they .A.really don’t know how they can get better gradesB.have no idea how to use the calculator properlyC.can’t understand whether the answer is rightD.don’t know how they get it65.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Calculators used to be as cheap as a pair of shoes.B.Some schools don’t allow the students to use pocket calculators in maths class.C.How to add, divide, subtract and multiply is a question of maths.D.It’s easy to calculate with a calculator.66.The author stands for the opinion that .A.students should be allowed to use pocket calculators freelyB.since the pocket calculator has been created, it should be made use ofC.pocket calculators shouldn’t be used by students in maths classesD.Terry should get grades four times better than KateDirections: Read the following passage which is followed by several questions. Give an answer to each question as required.(E)Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality(个性). Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exact technique or no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators even learned from ballet, but first they had to abandon all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and saw it accepted.Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying(摇摆)of the tree and the rolling waves of the sea and should be inharmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity(精湛技巧)shown by complicated positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance came from her heart and soul. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.Her second contribution lies in dance costumes. She gave up corsets(紧身衣), ballet shoes and still costumes. These were replaced with long loose dresses, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this idea.Her third contribution . In her performance she used the symphonies of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.She was as exciting and eccentric(古怪的)in her personal life as in her dance.67.What would be the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 8 words.)68.Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 8 words.)69.According to the passage, what does the following paragraph most probably discuss?(Please answer within 8 words.)70.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.第Ⅱ卷(共30分)V.

But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the ol der man’s cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could find about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ‘You are completely crazy,’” Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.51.The turning point in Saunders’ life came when _____A.he started to play ball gamesB.he got a mountain bike at age 15C.he ran his first marathon at age 18D.he started to receive Ridgway’s training52.We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.A.dismissed Saunders’ dream as fantasyB.built up his body together with SaundersC.hired Saunders for his cold-water experienceD.won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic53.What do we know about Saunders?A.He once worked at a school in Scotland.B.He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.C.He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.D.He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.54.The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means_____.A.Excited B.Convinced C.Delighted D.Fascinated55.It can be inferred th at Saunders’ journey to the North Pole ______.A.was accompanied by his old playmatesB.set a record in the North Pole expeditionC.was supported by other Arctic explorersD.made him well-known in the 1960sBAt a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray.Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps.As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before.By the time he reached the small boat, a thick white mist had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore.The outer fringe(边缘)of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly. All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake.Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly it soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects.The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy.56.Dave got up early in the morning to .A.enjoy the scene of the lakeB.seek adventure at the lakeC.go fishing in the lakeD.take a walk by the lake57.According to the story, which of the following is TRUE?A.Dave broke the quietness of the lake.B.Dave was familiar with the surroundings.C.Dave took a picture of the lake with him.D.Dave forgot the fishing pole at the beginning.58.What can we learn from the end of the story?A.Dave was hopeful of catching a lot of fish.B.Dave wished the weather would be better.C.Dave was happy that dawn was broken.D.Dave expected someone else would come.CMembers of the working class have blue-collar jobs. They are construction workers, truck drivers, mechanics, steel workers, electricians, and the like. What makes this class differ from the lower class is, first, longer periods of employment -- and therefore, more fixed incomes —and, second, employment in skilled or semiskilled (半熟练的) occupations, not unskilled ones. Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy, including those of skilled and semi-skilled workers, it is most common at the bottom of the class structure and increasingly less common at each level upward. They consider themselves to be respectable and hard working and they look down upon members of the "lower" class, whom they often consider to be lazy, dishonest, and too ready to exploit public assistance.Most people in the working class have at least high school education. Many have some experience of college (especially community college), though few are college graduates. Unionization has helped the working class, but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unemployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly. Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremely difficult, although a certain percentage may receive houses from their parents. (Home-owning rises with social class. )A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs, because much of their work is ordinary and boring. As a result, many seek their main satisfaction in recreational activities. Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their jobs and start their own businesses, though few make it. Many place their expectations on their children, hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success, American style.59.Which of the following is true about the working class.?A.They are often employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers.B.They are often offered jobs with high incomes.C.They are often considered lazy and dishonest.D.They are often exploited by the public.60.The underlined word “hit”(paragraph 1 ) roughly means .A.strike with a blow B.have bad effects onC.break up D.beat61.Most people in the working class .A.have difficulty increasing their savings greatlyB.have at least some experience of collegeC.receive houses from their parentsD.buy houses by themselves62.Many members from the working class are not satisfied with their jobs because .A.they could not rise in the ladder of successB.they are not interested in their jobsC.they could not earn much moneyD.they are not their own bossesDIndian's snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes(笛子), used to be a traditional feature of Indian life, performing in towns and villages, until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas,as they are known, to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charme r” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest,” said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans, “if a policeman doesn’t c atch them, animal rights activists report them.”Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban, despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets, hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders, make them an easy target for police.The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur, a village just outside of Delhi, is typical of practitioners(从业者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school, " he said. "Now it's hard to earn even $ 1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work, b ut it’s become impossible.”Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.More than the law, though, it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake charmers.“We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house, they rush to us,”said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party leader.63.According to the passage, snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly because___.A.schools need large numbers of such teachersB.most of them cannot support their familiesC.their performances on the street are bannedD.the government plans to save the dying art64.The purpose of the proposed "dial a snake charmer" telephone service is ___.A.to give performance of snake dancingB.to teach householders how to catch and kill snakesC.to offer cleaning service to wealthy householdersD.to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses65.The word "clandestinely" in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by the word "___"A.secretly B.publiclyC.subconsciously D.diligently66.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.B.Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers' job.C.Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen.D.The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers.EDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each67.___If you suddenly received a lot of money, how would you spend it? For the people of Tuvalu,a tiny state comprising nine islands in the South Pacific, something unusual happened. In 1999Tuvalu, with its population of 11,000, was the third poorest state in the world. Later, Tuvalu received a domain name on the Internet ——the letters “.tv”. A communication company from California quickly offered to buy the domain name for $ 40 million. The islanders became very rich.68.___At the same time the islanders received some very bad news. Due to global warming, and because the islands are only 3m above sea level, Tuvalu will probably become the first state in the world to disappear under the sea. According to scientific estimates, the islands will suffer severe floods within the next 15 - 20 years, and by the end of the century, the islands will have disappeared from sight altogether.69.___But despite the problem, the Tuvaluan had their new money. Paul Lindsay, a documentary film - maker, went all the way to Tuvalu, and came back with an incredible story. As the water rises, the Tuvaluan are using the money to develop the land that is soon to disappear. They are building new houses, planning nightclubs, restaurants and hotels, and new cars are driving around on new roads. "Just because we are sinking, it doesn't mean we don't want to raise our standards of living." Lindsay was told by Sam Teo, Tuvalu' s minister for natural resources. 70.___Of the $ 40 million Tuvalu received through the Internet deal, $ 10 million was used to asphalt the islands' L9km of roads. Before 1999 there were four cars on the islands. The Tuvaluan used to walk or cycle everywhere. There was a flood of imported foods and goodsand soon these had unexpected consequences. The Tuvaluan people now suffer from diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Others discovered that it was too expensive for them to keep their cars. There is now a huge rubbish dump in the middle of this tropical paradise, covered with abandoned cars and other waste.第二卷(30分)Ⅴ.Spelling(10 points)1.It is said that 75% of the Internet users f_____________(经常) browse news, send and receive emails on line.2.The dictionary will be of great b_________________(益处) to me.3.The young writer owed his success to his teacher’s e__________________(鼓励).4.I am lucky to have the opportunity to have a f______________(美妙的) trip to Europe. 5.She devoted all her e_____________(努力) to her work.6.We can surely defeat them if we are d___________________(下定决心)。

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically(热情地)responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”“No seriously,” I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow ol d because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor everyday. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌词)and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, Rose finished the coll ege degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.1. Rose made herself known to the author in a ______ manner.A. seriousB. coldC. humorousD. crazy2. From the information provided in the passage, we know ______.A. Rose finished the college degree within a yearB. Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college educationC. Rose enjoyed her campus life very muchD. Rose grew so old that she stopped playing3. Rose delivered the speech ______.A. at the graduationB. ended with “The Song of Rose”C. which she prepared carefullyD. to challenge all the other speakers4. According to her speech, ______.A. whenever you have a dream, you succeedB. all people don’t grow up while growing olderC. Rose usually regretted having done somethingD. a nine-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesn’t do anything5. The best title of the passage is _______.A. A speech delivered by an old studentB. Rose graduated when she was 87.C. Realizing a dreamD. An 87-year-old college student 15,Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星), but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is necessary for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable(可忍的). Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous(巨大的) quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage a person may feel perfectly well, but thecells of this or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated(积累) a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.1. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is necessary to man because it _______.A. protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB. provides sufficient light for plant growthC. supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD. screens off the falling meteors2. We know from the passage that _________.A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal(致命的)B. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC. radiation is avoidable in space explorationD. astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage3. The harm radiation that has been done to the Apollo crew members ________.A. is insignificantB. is enormousC. seems overestimated(过高估计的)D. remains unknown4. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. the Apollo mission was very successfulB. protection from space radiation is no easy jobC. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers16,A proud US father has named his son after a computer software term(术语).Jon Blake Cusack, from Mocjogam, told local newspapers the US traditional way of adding “Junior” or “Ⅱ” after a boy’s name was too common.So, when his son was born last week, he decided on the name Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, as if he were a software upgrade.Mr Cusack admitted that it took months to persuade his wife, Jamie, to accept the idea.Mrs Cusack said she asked several friends whether they can accept this name or not.All the men, she said, felt the name was “cool”. However, her women friends did not think so. “I think the women will end up liking it,” she said. Mr Cusack told the local newspaper he got the idea from a film called The Legend of 1900, in which an abandoned baby is given the name 1900 to remember the year of its birth.“I thought that if they can do it, why can’t we?” he said.After little Jon Version 2.0 was born, Mr Cusack even sent a celebratory e-mail to the family and friends designed to look as though he and his wife had created new software.“I wrote things like ‘there are a l ot of new features from Version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie’,” he said. And he is already planning for his son’s future. “If he has a child, he could name it 3.0,” he said.1. According to the passage we know that “Jon Black Cusack2.0” .A. shows the traditional way of American baby namingB. is not the name of a computer softwareC. has the same meaning as “Jon Black Cusack Junior”D. tells something about the hope the father places on his baby2. What do the names of “1900” and “Jon Version 2.0” have in common?A. They’re both connected with computer.B. They’re both untraditional.C. They both tell about the births.D. They’re to be equally popular.3. What does “Version 1.0” refer to in the last paragraph?A. A computer software.B. Mr Cusack.C. Mr Cusack and his wife.D. Mr Cusack’s grandson.17,1. If your child is very fond of dancing, you may take your child to ________.A. China National Art MuseumB. Beizhan TheatreC. Beijing Concert HallD. 1 Wusi Dajie2.

One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e. to transplant a chip into o human brain. This innovation(改革) may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the applicable capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.Experiments have started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology available, deep and detailed images were made of the memory area in Ted’s brain containing information about swimming by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nervous system. Such information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.Recently, another comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Never Research Institute of the University of California. The comprehensive memory transplanted in the experiment included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was the largest such experiment doneso far.The transplant was performed making a transfer from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up. “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.1. The purpose of the experiment is _________.A. to combine the computer and the human brainB. to make bear swimC. to make some stupid dog turn cleverD. to enlarge the applicable capacity of human brain2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The scientists transferred a button-sized chip wit useful information in Tallin’s brain.B. The comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research University.C. The second experiment wasn’t an entire transplant of the memory area.D. The Idiot was an animal with memory before brain experiment3. What does the underlined word “success” refer to?A. The two dogs woke up.B. They were both good at memorizing.C. The Idiot grasped all the abilities of Genius.D. The Genius grasped all the abilities of Idiot.4. According to the text, we can infer ________.A. a person can know more after the experimentB. a bear can swim after being transferred a chip with relevant useful informationC. a dog can become clever after entire transplant of the memory areaD. it is really good for animals to have been involved in the transplant experiment19,20, 假设你是李华。

He looked around and saw lots of kids being 39 for cancer and decided he couldhelp them by helping the hospital, which was trying to 40 money for bone-marrow(骨髓)transplant.But how? Since Kyle’s grandfather was in the printing business, he 41 bring decorative cards for Kyle, who 42 with the idea of selling them 43 . He made a large sum of momey-$80-for the hospital. His next 44 was a candy sale at this school, Palmetto Elementary, and it has turned into an annual 45 .And then people in Miami read about his efforts and were inspired to 46 to donate more money and toys, and things just snowballed.Within a year Kyle’s idea turned into an official fund-raising organization called Kids That Care Cancer Fund.

Once第三部分阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AThe interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may decide whether or not you get the pqrticular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remerber that your purpose during the interview may differ from that of the potential employer. You want to makeyourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths and should be considered the right person for te job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you, but to hire the right person for the job.Remember, job hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to improve your interview techniques will bi to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer won’t know them unless you point them out , so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.Don’t say anything bad about your former employers. If you have been fired from a job and the interviewer asks about it, be honest.Show the interviewer that your are interested in the company by asking questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotions opportunities and benefits of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lwse by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviesers may bring up salary erly in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself that a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer.

These ancestors, known variously as the absket makers, the Ancient ones, had lived in the area for at least 2000 years. Theey were an advanced agricultura people who used irrigation to help grow their drops.The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of earth and wood. Anasazi houses were originally built underground and were entered from the roof. But around the year 700 A. D., the Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and join them together into multistoried complexes, which the Spanish called villages. Separate underground rooms in these villages—known as kivas or holy places—were set aside for religious ceremonies. Each kiva had a fireplace and a hole that was believed to lead to te underworld. The largest villages had five stories and jore than 800 rooms.The Anasazi family was ruled by women. The sacred objects of te family were under the control of the oldest female, but the actual ceremonies were conducted by her broter or son. Women owned the rooms in thevillage and the crops, once they were harvested. While still growing, crops belonged to the men who, in contrast to most other Native American groups, planted them. The women made baskets and pottery; the men wove cloth and made jewelry.Each village had two chiefs. The village chief dealt with land arguments and religious affairs. The war chief led the menin fighting during occasional conflicts that broke out with neithboring villages and directed the men in commnity building projects. The pokitical and social organization of the Anasazi made it almost impossible for oter groups to conquer them.64. The Anasazi people were considered agriculturally advanced because of the way they ______ .A. stored their cropsB. harvested their cropsC. watered their cropsD. planted their fields65. Who would have been most likely to control the sacred objects of an Anasazi family?A. A 20- year – old manB. A 20- year – old womanC. A 50- year – old manD. A 50- year – old woman66. What can we infer from the passage?A. The presence of the Spanish destroyed Anasazi society.B. The Anasazi benefited from trading relations with the Spanish.C. Anasazi society exhibited a clear division of labor.D.Conflicts between neighboring Anasazi villages were easily solved.DThe brain of an insect isn’t very big. But insects are someow still able to make lots of important decisions. Bees, ants and roaches(蟑螂) build hives(巢穴)with thousands of workers doing specialized work. The jobs are done without a head or even a plan. How do insects manage this?To solve the mystery, scientists in Belgium spent months building robotic roaches and then putting them among real roaches. The final goal of the research is to find out how the simple behavior of individuals gives rise to a collective decision. The roach is a good starting point for trying to answer the big question because its social system is simple enough for scientists to study.The first step was to build robots tat real roaches would accept as their own. Although the robotic roaches don’t look much like the real thing, they have similarities with them in three key ways: they naturally head toward dark areas, they are influenced by the beavior of other roaches, and even more importantly, they smell like roaches.The nest step was getting the robotic and real roaches t work together on common tasks. In experiments, the robots would collectively head towars a dark place, copying the behavior of natural roaches. That got the researchers wondering: if you program te robotic roaches to go woward the lighted place, would the real roaches follow, going against their natural instincts.(本能) ?They will – it turned out. Many of the real roaches followed the robots to a lighter shelter. But influence turned out to be a two- way street. On occasion, the real roaches were able to override the programming of the fobot roaches and get them to turn into dark hiding places. Being social creatures, both the robotic and naturalroaches were paying attention to and following the example set by others.In theory, it would be possible to create a robot that could influence collective decision-making in humans. To do this, researchers would have to invent a robot that people would accept. Fortunately, the technology isn’t there yet.67. Why do scientists choose the roaches to study?A. They are social creaturesB.Their social system is simple.C.They are able to build their hives quite well.D. It is easy to create robotic ones.68. The robotic roaches are accepted by real ones because of ll of the following EXCEPT that _________________ .A. they smell like real onesB. they look exactly like real onesC. what they do are somewhat influenced by other roachesD. they naturally head toward dark areas69. What’s the author’s attitude to creating a fobot that would influence collective decision- making in humans?A. UninterestedB. PositiveC. NegativeD. Doubtful70.
