Many artists.55 would prove that there has always been a warm relationship between the various areas of human activity. 56 , in the late nineteenth century the connections between music and painting were particularly 57 .Artists were invited to design clothes and settings for operas and ballets ,but sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired （给……以灵感）by the work of contemporary painters .Of the musical compositions that were considered as 58 to the visual arts ,perhaps the most famous is Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.Mussorgsky composed the piece in 1874 after the death ,at the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartmann. 59 their friendship had not been a particularly long-fasting one .Mussorgsky was shocked by Hartmann’s 60 death.The following year the critic .Vladimir. Stasov who decided to hold an exhibition of Hartmann’s work,suggested that Mussorgsky try to 61 his grief by writing something in memory of Hartmann.The exhibition served as Mussorgsky’s inspiration. The ten pieces that make up Pictures at an Exhibition are intended as 62 rather than representations of the paintings in the exhibition .Between each is a promenade（舞曲中的行进）, 63 the composer walks from one painting to another .The music is sometimes witty and playful sometimes almost alarming and frightening .

Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it. we lose it .“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around.” says Jim Martland .Research Director of the p roject . “However if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car ,they never develop the skills”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction .He makes the following suggestions.●If you are using a map ,turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.●If you leave your bike in a strange place ,put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike .When you return ,go back along the same route●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams ,or walls in the countryside to guide you .Count your steps so that you know howfar you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help tofind out where you are.Now you need never get lost again!65．Scientists believe that .A．some babies are born with a sense of directionB．people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC．people never lose their sense of directionD．everybody posses a sense of direction from birth66．What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage?A．They never have a sense of direction without maps.B．They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.C．They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.D．They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.67．If you leave your bike in a strange place ,you should .A．tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolenB．draw a map of the route to help remember where it isC．avoid taking the same route when you come back in itD．remember something easily recognizable on the route68．According to the passage the best way to find your way around is to .A．ask policemen for directionsB．use walls . streams , and streets to guide yourself .C．remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs .D．count the number of landmarks that you see .B “Come in . Kim . Have a seat , please .” said Bill Williams , the manager . This was Kim’s first experience with an assessment .

Mr. Willi ams.”“I know that , Kim . And please, call me Bill .But what I expect is for you to thinkindependently and introduce new ideas . I need more input from you —more feedback on how things are going I don’t need a “yes man”. You never tell me what you think . You just smile as though everything is fine .”“But,” said Kim,” “ I feel that since you are my superior , it would he presumptuous of me to tell you what to do .”“I’m not asking you to tell me what to do, but what you think we could do .To make suggest ions .I employed you because I respect your experience in this field, but you are not communicating your thoughts to me .”“Yes .

More than2.6 bullion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备) .The combination proves deadly . Each year . diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 3 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world . Safe thinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate , inequality between men and women, and poverty .Consider these facts :●The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers .●Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet .●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases .Here are three ways you can help :1) Write CongressCurrent U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen . Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters , about clean drinking water abroad .2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organizationMany U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad . Simply put , a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe watera reality for thousands of people .3) Support nonprofit water organizationsNumerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related of drinking water and sanitation . Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows , some organizations are large , others small-scale , some operate worldwide , others are devoted to certain areas in Africa , Asia , or Latin America . Support them generously .72．The three facts presented in the passage the used to illustrate that .A．poverty can result in water-borne diseasesB．people have no access to clean drinking waterC．women’s rights are denied in s ome developing countries .D．safe drinking water should be a primary concern73．The intended readers of the passage are _____________.A．Americans B．overseas sponsors C．Congressmen D．U.S-based water organizations 74．The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to ___________.A．get rid of water-related diseases in developing countriesB．donate money to people short of water through religious groupsC．fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problemD．take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations75．What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A．A variety of companies and their worldwide operation.B．A list of nonprofit water organizations to make contact with.C．Some ways to get financial aids from U.S. Congress.D．A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations.D Equipped only with a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinc h(红腹灰雀). Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches(雀科鸣鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.“Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest.” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book－A Bird in the Bush a Social History of Birdwatching－which records the pursuit from the rich V ictorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend . Last summer ,BBC 2’sBritain Goes Wild was a surprise success .It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.Birdwatchers’ networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera-a golden –winged songbird from North America－to be seen in Britain. He put a message our on the network service Birdline, and the next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the fell pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.“Multimillion-pound spending on, binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”76．The word “satiated” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “”.A．affected B．shared C．satisfied D．narrowed77．What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network?A．Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.B．Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.C．Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.D．Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird.78．Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?A．Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching.B．The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.C．Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.D．The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment. 79．The passage mainly tells us about ___________ in UK.A．the history of birdwatchig B．a growing passion for birdwatchingC．the impact of media on birdwatching D．birdwatcing as a popular expensive sport 1．我希望尽快收到你的照片。

Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches(雀科鸣鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.“Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone wit h only a casual interest.” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book－A Bird in the Bush a Social History of Birdwatching－which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend . Last summer ,BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success .It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.Birdwatchers’ networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera-a golden –winged songbird from North America－to be seen in Britain. He put a message our on the network service Birdline, andthe next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the fell pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.“Multimillion -pound spending on, binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”76．The word “satiated” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “ ”. A ．affected B ．shared C ．satisfied D ．narrowed77．What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network? A ．Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent. B ．Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird. C ．Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details. D ．Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird. 78．Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage? A ．Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching. B ．The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching. C ．Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers. D ．The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment. 79．The passage mainly tells us about ___________ in UK. A ．the history of birdwatchig B ．a growing passion for birdwatching C ．the impact of media on birdwatching D ．birdwatcing as a popular expensive sportEDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each80Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for t he various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands. 81 The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auctio, maning “increase” The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centu ries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short82Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture,83An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot I and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce84re sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）1．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 1．我希望尽快收到你的照片。

You just smile as though everything is fine .”“But,” said Kim,” “ I feel that si nce you are my superior , it would he presumptuous of me to tell you what to do .”“I’m not asking you to tell me what to do, but what you think we could do .To make suggestions . I employed you because I respect your experience in this field, but you are notcommunicating your thoughts to me .”“Yes . I see I’m not accustomed to this , but I will try to do as you say …, Bill”“Good, then , I expect to hear more from you at staff meetings or at any other time you want to discuss an idea with me .”“Yes , of course . Thank you Mr. Will…Bill .”69．Kim is the sort of employee who .A．does not speak out his own ideas B．is not devoted to the jobC．laughs too much over work D．can not finish his work on time70．The word “presumptuous” in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to “” .A．full of respect B．too confident and rudeC．lacking in experience D．too shy and quiet71．From the passage ,we can learn that .A．Kim has been invited to take charge of the staff meetingsB．the manager appreciates those who just do what he tells them to doC．the manager is pleased with Kim’s hard work and his suggestionsD．Kim is likely to have a higher salary if he can pass the assessmentCcross the world , 11 billion people have no access to clean drinking water . More than2.6 bullion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备) .The combination proves deadly . Each year . diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 3 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world . Safe thinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate , inequality between men and women, and poverty .Consider these facts :●The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers .●Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet .●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases .Here are three ways you can help :1) Write CongressCurrent U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen . Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters , about clean drinking water abroad .2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organizationMany U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad . Simply put , a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water areality for thousands of people .3) Support nonprofit water organizationsNumerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related of drinking water and sanitation . Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows , some organizations are large , others small-scale , some operate worldwide , others are devoted to certain areas in Africa , Asia , or Latin America .

Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches(雀科鸣鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.“Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone wit h only a casual interest.” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book－A Bird in the Bush a Social History of Birdwatching－which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend . Last summer ,BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success .It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.Birdwatchers’ networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera-a golden –winged songbird from North America－to be seen in Britain. He put a message our on the network service Birdline, andthe next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the fell pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.“Multimillion -pound spending on, binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”76．The word “satiated” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “ ”. A ．affected B ．shared C ．satisfied D ．narrowed77．What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network? A ．Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent. B ．Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird. C ．Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details. D ．Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird. 78．Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage? A ．Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching. B ．The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching. C ．Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers. D ．The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment. 79．The passage mainly tells us about ___________ in UK. A ．the history of birdwatchig B ．a growing passion for birdwatching C ．the impact of media on birdwatching D ．birdwatcing as a popular expensive sportEDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each80Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for t he various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands. 81 The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auctio, maning “increase” The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centu ries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short82Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture,83An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot I and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce84re sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）1．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 1．我希望尽快收到你的照片。

Which hotel faces the Orchard Hotel?A. The First Hotel.B. The Osaka Hotel.C. The Fairview Hotel.D. We don’t know.DLeft-handed people have had enough of being let out and treated unfairly by a largely right-handed world, an organization of “southpaw”said, as it prepared to mark the 12th Left-handers Day.“We have a lot of people e-mailing or phoning every day to say how difficult it is to use equipment at work,”said Keith Milsom, a British spokesman for the Left-handed Club, whichsays that it is to be the largest association(协会) of “lefties”in the world with some 300,000 members.“It leads them to think that a particular task is not their strength, but the truth is these instruments are made for the right-handed,”Milsom told AFP.“The view that left-handers are clumsy and awkward(笨拙的) is not down to their natural abilities, but being forced to use right-handed tools and machines which are completely back-to-front for them,”the Left-handers Club Website says.For Milsom this is a serious problem that goes far beyond using a pair of scissors?穴剪刀?雪or a corkscrew.His group claims(声称) a series of notable victories in its fight to correct the imbalances and secure a safer and less right-centric world.Such victories include forcing changes from a major producer of hand-held power tools and ensuring that all major British banks introduced left-handed check books.The latter may have proved especially beneficial for Milsom and his wife Lauren who owns a shop in London’s Soho district for providing products and information to make life a bit easier for left-handers.No one can explain exactly why about 13 percent of theworld’s population is left-handed, according to the Left-handers Club Website, which suggests this may be genetic and runs in families.“There’s a high chance in twins for one to be left-handed,”it adds.Left-handers were for centuries stigmatized(诬蔑) in language , culture and even in the Bible.The Greek, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Portuguese and Latin words for left-handed all have negative(否定的) meanings, not to mention English.“Things are different today but the world is still designed for right-handers,”Milsom said.Famous left-handers include film star Marilyn Monroe, Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci and British musician Paul McCartney.67. What seems to be the most serious problem for left- handers is that____.A. they are looked down upon by right-handersB. they have all the time been separated from theright-handed worldC. they have to use things designed for right-handersD. they are thought to be clumsy and awkward68. The underlined word “them”(in Paragraph 3) refers to ____.A. people who e-mail or telephone Keith MilsomB. all left-handed peopleC. the 300,000 members of the Left-handed ClubD. people in the organization of “southpaw”69. Lauren ran a shop in London’s Soho district ____.A. to show left-handers’strengthB. to call the attention to the left-handers from the publicC. to help those left-handers in troubleD. to support her husband’s fight against the right- centric world70. It can be inferred from this passage that ____.A. scientists have found the cause for left-handednessB. left-handedness most probably occurs in twinsC. there are no negative meanings for left-handed people in EnglishD. left-handed people are most probably wiser71. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Left-handed People,Too Many SufferingsB. Left-handers, the Past and the PresentC. Left-handed People, Equal to YouD. Being Left-handed, Being FamousEFor new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their dark red passports, becoming “Europeans”is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric(古怪的) family. Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologists(社会学家) and market researchers, and are more interesting.★35% of Germans live alone; but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.★The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can’t just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!★The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.★The Dutch and Germans are the greatest caravanners (活动房居住者), but the Germans like bigger beds in theircaravans.★The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.★The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do, it’s colder.★Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.★The French are the champion public transport commuters(经常往返者) of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.★The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes. Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.★No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.There are exceptions(例外) to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year,old daughter. “If you don’t understand each other’s language, you just laugh a lot, and eat,and point at things.”72. We can know from this passage that ____.A. sociologists are most interested in the idea of European UnionB. most European countries are not willing to join the European UnionC. Europeans have more differences than similaritiesD. trade opportunities exist in the cultural differencesin the European Union73. If you work or live in Belgium, you will____.A. have to change your living places oftenB. seldom see people playing sportsC. not get used to its cold weatherD. be invited to go for a drink frequently74. What does the underlined sentence“Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.”mean?A. The British and the Swedish care about their safety most.B. The British and the Swedish like to appear gentle and smart.C. The British and the Swedish hate to look at each other face to face.D. The British and the Swedish enjoy a richer lifethan others.75. In the last paragraph, the author wants to express hisidea that ____.A. his daughter knows well how to understand for-eigners in unfamiliar situationsB. Europeans actually share the same culture even ifthey have different languagesC. being a European, you will have no living troubleat all in the European UnionD. there are differences between European countries,but don’t take it too seriously第二卷(一部分,共35分)第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节?押短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误,对标有题号的每一行作出判断:如果无错误,在该行右边的横线上画一个勾(√);如果有错误(每行只有一个错误),则按下列情况改正:该行多一个词:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉,在该行右边横线上写出该词,并也用斜线划掉。

I have nothing but praise for your devotion and your hard work . My only concern is that you are not active enough in putting forward your suggestions .”“But.” Replied Kim. “I have always completed every assignment you have given me . Mr. Williams.”“I know that , Kim . And please, call me Bill .But what I expect is for you to think independently and introduce new ideas . I need more input from you —more feedback on how things are going I don’t need a “yes man”. You never tell me what you think . You ju st smile as though everything is fine .”“But,” said Kim,” “ I feel that since you are my superior , it would he presumptuous of me to tell you what to do .”“I’m not asking you to tell me what to do, but what you think we could do .To make suggestions .

More than2.6 bullion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备) .The combination proves deadly . Each year . diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 3 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world . Safe thinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate , inequality between men and women, and poverty .Consider these facts :●The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is6 kilometers .●Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water,and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet .●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases .Here are three ways you can help :1) Write CongressCurrent U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen . Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters , about clean drinking water abroad .2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organizationMany U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad . Simply put , a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people .3) Support nonprofit water organizationsNumerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related of drinking water and sanitation . Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows , some organizations are large , others small-scale , some operate worldwide , others are devoted to certain areas in Africa , Asia , or Latin America . Support them generously .72．The three facts presented in the passage the used to illustrate that .A．poverty can result in water-borne diseasesB．people have no access to clean drinking waterC．women’s rights are denied in some developing countries .D．safe drinking water should be a primary concern73．The intended readers of the passage are _____________.A．Americans B．overseas sponsorsC．Congressmen D．U.S-based water organizations 74．The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to ___________.A．get rid of water-related diseases in developing countriesB．donate money to people short of water through religious groupsC．fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problemD．take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations 75．What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A．A variety of companies and their worldwide operation.B．A list of nonprofit water organizations to make contact with.C．Some ways to get financial aids from U.S. Congress.D．A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations.DEquipped only with a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinc h(红腹灰雀). Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches(雀科鸣鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.“Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest.” Stephen Mos s said in his newly published book－A Bird in the Bush a Social History of Birdwatching－which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend . Last summer ,BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success .It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.Birdwa tchers’ networking system first came to the attention of the nation in1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera-a golden –winged songbird from North America－to be seen in Britain. He put a message our on the network service Birdline, and the next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the fell pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.“Multimillion-pound spending on, binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine “The number of people involve d is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”76．The word “satiated” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “”.A．affected B．shared C．satisfied D．narrowed77．What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network?A．Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.B．Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.C．Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.D．Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird. 78．Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?A．Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching.B．The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.C．Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.D．The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment.79．The passage mainly tells us about ___________ in UK.A．the history of birdwatchig B．a growing passion for birdwatching C．the impact of media on birdwatching D．birdwatcing as a popular expensive sportEDirections: 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.80Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourag es buyers to bid higher figures,and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.81The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auctio, maning “increase” The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.82Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.83An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot I and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.84The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）1．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1．我希望尽快收到你的照片。

I do the same thing every day. Most people hate that kind of work, but I actually like it. I can daydream, and daydream for almost 40 hours a week. Don’t misunderstand. My job isn’t always easy. Maybe it requires less concentrations than other jobs, but it requires more organization. I have to be ready for work when the bank opens at nine every day. Before opening my cage window, I put the cash in my drawer. Then I make sure that the audio system is working. After checking the machine, I sit at my window, ready for work and for daydreaming. People come and go. Most of them deposit checks or withdraw money from their savings accounts.Occasionally, customers require special help from me. At these times, I have to stop dreaming and concentrate. But usually the work is easy, automatic. Most people think the work is dull. “You must be crazy,” they say. But I’m not crazy. I’m only a dreamer. I really enjoy daydreaming.Questions:11. What does the speaker do first before the bank opens?12. According to the passage, what do most people think of the sp eaker’s job?13.
