As the kids grew older, I worried about headaches, throat infections and many other 38 childhood illnesses. I didn’t like it when the boys spent time “warming
the bench ” during Little League football games. I worried about Becky when she 39 the ball while playing softball. Before long, the teen years were upon us. I stayed 40 late at night waiting for the boys to return home. Many times the
41 crossed my mind that I would call the police if they weren’t home on time.
42 , they always arrived home safe and sound 43 I had to take such measures.
“Please don’t ever call the police,” one of the boys said when I 44 him after a late arrival.
The day the boys moved away to college was a 45 day indeed. I worried about their being able to take care of themselves. Would they starve?
A few months after the boys left college, our 46 rang in the middle of the night. It startled （惊醒）us when we looked at the clock. It was 3 o’clock in the morning.“47 must be wrong,” I shouted to my husband, Roy, as we both jumped up. We ran to the door, opened it, and there 48 a police officer.
“You need to 49 your sons,” he seriously announced. I picked up the telephone, but unfortunately, it was 50 . A line outside had been accidentally cut. Roy and I jumped into the car and 51 to the nearest telephone. My stomach ached. My husband was 52 so badly that he could hardly dial the number.
On the first 53 , John answered the telephone. “What’s wrong?” Roy shouted into the receiver （听筒）.
“We were worried about you,” John told him. “We’ve been trying to call you all night, but you didn’t 54 . We called the police and asked them to go and check on you.

第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

上将该项涂黑
第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
A
One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon----it’s already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply “ring up sales”. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
56．According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to .
A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
B. obtain more convenient services than other people do
C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper
D. cash money where he wishes to
57．From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .
A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today
C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before
58．The phrase “ring up sales” most probably means .
A. make an order of goods
B. record sales on a cash register
C. call the sales manager
D. keep track of the goods in stock
59．It can be inferred that .
A. computers will bring disaster
B. computer industry will not develop faster
C. computers will bring about more conv enience to people’s life
D. None
B
Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. When he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses ( 差错) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings, nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random (随机的).
One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog bi scuit on her ear. “the explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. "People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman's custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the programme," About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these "programme assembly failures,"
Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing -- an average of twelve each, There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (荒谬可笑的). These are two hours some time between eight a.m. and noon, between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. "Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain 'programmes' occurs, for instance between going to and from work." Women on average reported slightly more lapses－12.5 compared with 10.9 for men probably because they were more reliable reporters.
A startling finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazar（冒险）of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly lapses by concentrating more could make things a lot worse or even dangerous.
60. In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects .
A. to keep track of people who tend to forget things
B. to report their embarrassing lapses at random
C. to analyse their awkward experiences scientifically
D. to keep a record of what they did unintentionally
61. "Programme assembly failures" (Line 6, Para. 2) refers to the phenomenon that
people .
A. often fail to programme their routines beforehand
B. tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurry
C. unconsciously change the sequence of doing things
D. are likely to mess things up if they are too tired
62. We learn from the third paragraph that .
A. absent-mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the day
B. women are very careful to perform actions during peak periods
C. women experience more peak periods of absent-mindedness
D. men's absent-mindedness often results in funny situations
63. It can be concluded from the passage that .
A. people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapses
B. hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good at
C. people sh ould be careful when programming their actions
D. lapses cannot always be due to lack of concentration
C
The seas and rivers are being poisoned by radioactive wastes, by chemical discharges and by the dumping of dangerous raw swage(污水). The air we breathe is polluted by smoke and fumes from factories and motor vehicles; even the rain is poisoned.
It’s little wonder forests and lakes are being destroyed and everywhere wildlife is disappearing, and yet the destruction continues.
Governments and industries throughout the world are intensifying(加紧) their efforts to extract the earth’s mineral riches and to destroy its living resources.
The great rain-forest and the frozen continents alike are seriously threatened, despite the warnings of the scientific community and the deep concern of millions of ordinary people.
In fact，we can create environmentally clean industries, use the power of the sun, wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the finite（有限的）resources of the earth in a way that will safeguard our future and protect all the rich variety of life-forms which share this planet with us.
64．The main idea of the passage is that .
A．the seas and rivers are being poisoned
B．we can protect natural environments
C．the natural world is under violent attack from man
D．governments and industries should be responsible for the destruction
of the natural world
65．Rain-forests are being destroyed because governments and industries .
A．are unaware of what they are doing wrong
B．are rich and powerful
C．choose to ignore criticism
D．basically care about the environment
66．The earth’s resources .
A．should be only for the people
B．can be made to last longer
C．will last forever
D．belong to just humans and animals
D
One of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age （ROSLA）has been that it will bring us some way nearer to “equality of opportunity”.
Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways.
Unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all males 18 to 20 year old. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.
It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.
It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and
interesting jobs—which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social background. Their parents often need the extra money another money-earner would bring in; they don’t value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “it’s up to you”.
67．It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children
A．a more enjoyable time at school
B．the same chances in society
C．the right to a better school
D．higher scores in intelligence tests
68．People would like to think that
A．equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach university
B．those with the least money get the best education
C．intelligent children are always selected by the system
D．only really clever children do well
69．Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because A．many of the clever ones leave school early
B．fewer go to university than ever before
C. more than half leave school when they are 16
D．fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16
70．This article shows that equal opportunity in education
A．is a thing of the past
B．has not yet been achieved
C．is there for those who deserve it
D．has greatly improved our society
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 71 Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human
beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 72 Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into t he case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. 73 In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala ( the name given to the younger child):
Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 74 Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels. Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior——by taking part in a cultural community. 75
A. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.
B. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.
C. Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.
D. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.
E. These children were the ghosts described by the local people.
F. Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.
G. They learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural community.

Dear President,
Next year I w ill go to study at university, but I don’t know how to adapt myself to university life. I hear many freshmen are at a loss what to do when they are at university. They can’t take care of themselves in their everyday life, feeling lonely and homesick. Clothes, money or mobile phones are sometimes gone. And because of different climates and food, they often feel sick. Some even rent rooms outside the campus. Could you tell me how to deal with these problems so that I will be able to suit the university life in the future?
Yours,
Li Hua
