Growing up in relative affluence in many parts of the world, 22 from family and friends, this generation is strong-minded, self-confident, and sometimes self-centered.Many Generation Y children in more affluent societies have fewer brothers and sisters than those in previous generations or are only children, and they are often quite spoilt and protected by their parents. In general, Generation Y is better dressed, better fed and better looked after than previous generations.Largely due of course to being the first generation to grow up with computers and the Internet, this generation is 23 and technologically savvy. While older generations are still getting used to sending emails, members of Generation Y are competent and constant users of mobile phones, 24 music downloads andsocial networking sites—and are used to multitasking. They are creative, publishing their own blogs, websites, videos and music. And they are part of a global online community 25 information and other young people from all over the world.SummaryListen to the passage.

Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s) of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Everybody makes language mistakes, whether it is in their own language or a foreign language. Sometimes instead of the word that they wanted to say, a speaker uses a similar-sounding word. This is called a malapropism, 46 the French phrase malagrave propos, which means "inappropriate". Malapropisms occur in everyday conversations, on the radio, in speeches and presentations. In some cases the word sounds strange. However, mistakes 47 a civil serpent instead of a civil servant can be very funny, particularly when they are said by a well-known person in a particular cont 48 . Sports commentators and politicians seem to produce the funniest malapropisms. For 49 U.S. president George W. Bush, for example, made so many malapropisms and other 50 (linguist) errors that these mistakes became known as "Bushisms". His classic slips of the ton 51 included nuclear power pants instead of nuclear power plants. Speakers do not only use the wrong word, they often mispronounce words too. This can be because somebody does not know the 52 (pronounce) of an unusual word—for example, words that are more common in wri53 language. However, a speaker can also mispronounce a word54 mixing up the sounds in words. This is called a spoonerism. Mixing up sounds often creates nonsense words—for example, wook out the lindow instead of look out the window, but it can also create a funny change in meaning, such as a lack of pies instead of a pack of lies. Many people use spoonerisms 55 (accident) when they are nervous or speak too quickly, but comedians use them deliberately as a comic play on words.Part Ⅳ Reading ComprehensionRead the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section AEmail has completely changed the way we work today. It offers many benefits and, if used well, can be an excellent toolfor improving your efficiency. Managed badly, though, email can be a waste of valuable time. Statistics indicate that office workers need to wade through an average of more than 30 emails a day. Despite your best efforts, unsolicited email or spam can clutter up the most organized inbox and infect your computer system with viruses. Here we give you guidance on protecting yourself.Prioritizing incoming messagesIf you are regularly faced with a large volume of incoming messages, you need to prioritize your inbox to identify which emails are really important. If it is obvious spam, it can be deleted without reading. Then follow these steps for each email:●Check who the email is from. Were you expecting or hoping to hear from the sender? How quickly do they expect you to respond?● Check what the email is about. Is the subject urgent? Is it about an issue that falls within your sphere of responsibility, or should it just be forwarded to someone else?● Has the email been in your inbox for long? Check the message time.An initial scan like this can help you identify the emails that require your prompt attention. The others can be kept for reading at a more convenient time.Replying in stagesHaving prioritized your emails, you can answer them in stages, first with a brief acknowledgement and then a more detailed follow-up. This is particularly advisable when dealing with complicated matters where you do not want to give a rushed answer. If you decide to do this, tell the recipient a definite date when you will be able to get back to them and try to keep to this wherever possible.Some emails are uncomplicated and only require a brief, one line answer, so it is a good idea to reply to these immediately. For example, if all you need to say is, "Yes, I can make the 10:00 meeting", or "Thanks, that's just the information I needed", do it. If you are unable to reply there and then or choose not to, let the sender know that you have received the message and will be in touch as soon as possible.Complete the chart with no more than three words from the passage.Section B61 When they dry up, they leave ugly scars on the skin. For centuries it killed the rich and poor alike, spreading fast when it took hold in an area, and often seriously disfiguring or blinding those sufferers who escaped death. It was not until 1980 that the World Health Organization declared that the disease was eradicated, after the final recorded case in Somalia in 1977.62 It eventually offered reliable protection and caused smallpox to disappear completely. Jenner was born in 1749 and, after studying medicine, lived and worked as a doctor in a small village, Berkeley, in ruralGloucestershire, England. There he saw people suffering both from smallpox and from cowpox, a weaker, much less dangerous form of infection, frequently found in cows. He made the interesting observation that the local people who caught cowpox because of their daily contact with cattle did not catch smallpox, even if close friends and family were infected. By experimenting on local people, therefore, Edward Jenner was able to prove, in 1796, that injections of the cowpox virus could provide protection against smallpox. This process was called vaccination, from vacca, the Latin word for cow.63 The immunity he provided against one of history's most terrifying diseases brought him fame and fortune. He was paid generous sums by the government when the authorities realized the importance of his achievement. He was also given the freedom of the City of London in 1805, an honour not lightly granted. He died in 1823.64 By this time, vaccination had become a compulsory part of many countries' public health programmes. It may seem surprising that Jenner's great discovery was not fully exploited at the time. This can be partly explained by the fact that complete eradication required a concerted effort from all countries.65 The lives of millions of people have been saved by his careful observation and clinical work.Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.A. In the village of Berkeley, there is a museum which aims to remind people of Edward Jenner's pioneering achievement.B. After a lifetime of hard work, Jenner finally retired to the country, still hoping for the recognition he felt he had earned.C. Although other studies were being carried out elsewhere in Britain during the eighteenth century, Jenner made the clinical breakthrough.D. Smallpox was not finally wiped out, however, until over a century later.E. Smallpox is an acute, highly infectious disease, producing high fever and a pinkish rash of spots.F. The first symptoms of smallpox usually appear 12 to 14 days after you are infected.G. Over two hundred years ago the English physician Edward Jenner discovered the process of vaccination.Section CIt is over 4,000 kilometers long and crosses two-thirds of the USA. It has been called "The Mother Road" and "The Main Street of America". It has been in films, books and songs and there's even a piece on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D. C. Welcome to Route 66. It starts in the hustle and bustle of Chicago and arrives in Los Angeles on the Pacific Ocean. Let's go back to the 1920s to see how it began.1920sIn the early 1920s, life in Midwest America was very different. People did not use to travel much because there were no highways near the small towns. But in 1926, things started to change thanks to a new road called Route 66. This new road opened up the American West to hundreds of thousands of people. Agricultural communities that used to be isolated started to grow and develop into towns. Farmers were also able to sell their produce to big cities. 1930sIn the mid-1930s, hard times returned. America was suffering from the Great Depression and across the country, millions of people were out of work. In the Midwest, severe drought conditions and dust storms destroyed farmlandand thousands of families were forced to leave their homes. They headed for California, along Route 66, where they had heard there were agricultural jobs. Unfortunately, the mother road led them to shanty towns. Route 66 became associated with the pain and misery of this great migration.1940s—1950sWhen the Great Depression came to an end after World War Ⅱ, there was a new age of optimism and thousands moved from East to West. People had more free time and many owned cars.They drove along Route 66 to the beaches of California, visiting the Grand Canyon and other attractions along the way. It was boom time for the road and hundreds of diners, motels and service stations lined the route. Billboards and huge statues tempted tourists to stop at man-made and natural attractions, such as the giant Blue Whale in Oklahoma or the Meramec Caverns in Missouri. Then jazz musician Bobby Troupe wrote the hit song Route 66. The mother road had a brand new image—one of freedom and fun.1956—The presentAs more people traveled from East to West, a newer, bigger road was needed and work began on a national interstate highway. Sadly, the towns and attractions along Route 66 began to die out. Then in the 1990s, people started campaigns to preserve the old road, new signs were put up and tourists began to travel down it once again. Today, the mother road still offers an amazing journey through the American West.Answer the following questions according to the passage.66、 Where is the Smithsonian Museum located?67、 When was Route 66 constructed?68、 Why did people head for California in the mid-1930s?69、 What did Route 66 stand for in the 1940s?70、 What were the changes on Route 66 in the 1990s?Section DHawaii is the only island state in the United States, which comprised of a chain of 132 islands. It is also the only state that has official native languages. There are two official languages: English and Hawaiian. The Hawaiian language is very similar to languages spoken across the Pacific Ocean in places like Fiji and the Philippines. The Hawaiian language came very close tobecoming an extinct language, though.A number of factors were involved in the decline of the Hawaiian language. First of all, the arrival of explorers in the late 1700s and missionaries in the early 1800s brought not only new cultures and ideas, but diseases as well. Many locals died because they had no immunity to those diseases. The number of native Hawaiian speakers fell rapidly. Second, the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown and in 1896, English became the official language of schools and government. With an increasing American presence, English became the language of business, further limiting the use of Hawaiian. Year after year, the sounds of the native language became less common on the streets.When Hawaii became part of the United States in 1959, the people fought to have Hawaiian included as an official language. Now, more and more Hawaiians are trying to learn their ancestral language, and the Hawaiian state government is attempting to help them. Hawaiian classes are now taught in the schools. Hawaiian newspapers are published, and there are some Hawaiian radio shows.A new dictionary of the language was even created. One particularly novel way the government is trying to protect the language is by not allowing tourists to the island of Niihau. There, Hawaiian is the only language spoken by the residents!Although Hawaiian has been saved from extinction, it is spoken by only1.5% of the population. Japanese and the Filipino language Tagalog are in much wider use in the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian language still has a long way to go. If you visit, though, you might hear people using the Hawaiian word "aloha" instead of "hello."Complete the summary with a maximum of two words from the passage for each blank, changing the form where necessary.Two official languages are spoken in Hawaii—English and Hawaiian. The Hawaiian language, which is 71 languages spoken in the Philippines and Fiji, almost became extinct. Some factors affected the 72 of the Hawaiian language. In the early time the arrival of explorers and missionaries brought not only new 73 , but also diseases. These diseases made the number of native Hawaiian speakers 74 . In the late 1900s English became the official language of schools and govemment, which limited the use of Hawaiian. Later, the Hawaiians and the state govemment made great efforts to prevent Hawaiian 75 .Part Ⅴ TranslationSection ATranslate the following paragraph into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.76、 Chopsticks are usually made of wood or bamboo, and used for eating Asian food. It is believed that chopsticks were developed over 5,000 years ago in China. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made out of bronze was excavated from the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan Province, dating back to roughly 1,200 BC. Chopsticks are so frequently used in daily life that they have become more than a kind of tableware and have fostered a set of etiquette and customs of their own.Section BTranslate the underlined sentences in the following passage into English by using the hints given in brackets.

Each new wave of immigration has been greeted by wide-spread suspicion or outright hostility. “ignorant, unskilled, inert, accustomed to the beastliest conditions,”thundered an article about east Europeans in 1892 “The arrival on our shores of such masses of degraded peasantry brings the greatest danger that American labour has ever known.”It was opinions such as this that eventually led, from the 1920s, to America's doors being virtually closed to immigrants. The doors opened again in the mid 1960s, and widened admirably with the 1990 immigration act. The essence of today's anti-immigration case is that this latest wave of newcomers is likely to be difficult, if not impossible, to absorb. The pro-immigration riposte is that most such arguments have been heard before and proved false. Both sides in the debate can twist the numbers. The antis point out that the number of people entering America legally or illegally (about in a year) is higher than at any time since the early years of the century. The pros reply that, as a proportion of the population, immigration is still relatively low by 20th-century standards.More controversial is the origin of the new immigrants. Between 1810 and 1900, more than 80% of immigrants came from Europe. By the 1980s, the European share had dropped to 9%. The vast majority of America's immigrants today come from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Does this matter? The antis think the mix is a danger to the fabric of American society. The pros think that view differs little from that of those who wrote darkly about the “alien hordes”from southern and Eastern Europe who would “steadily reduce the average intelligence of the country”.Many of the other objections to immigration also have a familiar ring. In the past, too,启航英语模考一模卷第3页共11页Americans worried (though perhaps not quite as much asthey do now) about the effects of the arrival of these people on their environment, about the newcomers' commitment to America and its values. But in a few respects the worries about the current influx are genuinely new.One concerns the skills of the new arrivals: they are declining compared with those of the native-born population. Lower skills mean more poverty and-because of the second new factor, the growth of the welfare state-greater cost to the taxpayer. In 1970 the typical immigrant had a lower participation in welfare than the American average; by 1990 the participation rate was higher than average (immigrants were 9% of households but took 13% of welfare money). If these statistics are true of legal immigrants, they are likely to be even more true of illegal ones. A third worry is that assimilation has become harder with the rise of “multiculturalism”and the new emphasis on group rights.Some of these worries might be dealt with by adjusting immigration policy. For example, the United States could follow Canada in placing greater emphasis on skills as a criterion for entry. But often immigration is merely a symptom of a wider problem, not the cause. Blame the rising cost to taxpayers on welfare policy and federal mandates, not on immigrants. The strongest advocates of multiculturalism are to be found among university teachers and blacks whose ancestors came to America hundreds of years ago. There is little reason to believe that today's immigrants want anything other than the millions who have com before them-that is, to be part of the American (an not least the Californian).21. From the 1920s to the mid 1960s, America's doors was virtually closed to immigrants because _______.[A] the immigrants were thought to be inferior to the native Americans.[B] American labor was afraid that the immigrants might grab their working opportunities.[C] The immigrants could not be easily absorbed.[D] The native Americans were afraid of being absorbed by the immigrants. 22. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.[A] the immigrants in America outnumber the native-born Americans. [B] The illegal immigrants in America are even more than the legal ones. [C] The proportion of immigrants in America has decreased. [D] America's immigrants are more than its emigrants.23. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?[A] all the Americans think too many immigrants from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean will change the fabric of American society.[B] The immigrants from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean received a warm welcome in America.[C] Americans used to worry about the effects of the immigrants on their environment. [D] Americans now have more worries about effects of the immigrants. 24. According to the passage, illegal immigrants in America_______.[A] are not allowed to take the welfare money.[B] Have a higher participation in welfare than both the American average and legal immigrants.[C] Cannot take more welfare money than legal immigrants.[D] Have a much lower participation in welfare than the American average. 25. In the last paragraph, the author implies that_______.[A] those worries about the immigrants can be removed thoroughly by adjusting启航英语模考一模卷第4页共11页immigration policy.[B] People cannot attribute their worries about the effects of the immigrants to immigration itself.[C] The rise of “multiculturalism”is the main cause of immigration.[D] Today's immigrants don't want be part or the American.Text 2Astronomers have witnessed the biggest bang since the Big Bang-the moment about 15 billion years ago when the universe was created in a massive explosion. The huge burst of energy from the edge of the universe is estimated to be second only to the moment of creation in its explosive force, releasing more energy in two seconds than the sun will give out in its lifetime. Scientists hope the explosion-known as a gamma-ray burst because it emits energy in the form of gamma radiation-will shed light on the earliest stages in the evolution of the stars and galaxies. Gamma-ray bursts cannot be seen by the human eye but if they could the sky would light up like a camera flash each time they occurred. They are by far the most energetic events in the universe and, until now, have remained largely a mystery.The latest gamma-ray burst to be detected accurately occurred last December. Using a network of telescopes and satellites, the astronomers were able to calculate its distance from earth at about 15 billion light years. This means it must have happened soon after the Big Bang itself, while the intensity of the radiation revealed it to be the biggest bang recorded by man. Scientists from the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the California Institute of Technology are to announce details of their analysis this week. The huge distance between the source of the explosion and the Earth suggests gamma-ray bursts are up to 10 times larger than previously thought, said Jonathan Katz, professor of physics at Washington University in St Louis.“Gamma-ray bursts may be the most distant things we will ever see and as such will act as beacons to probe into the very distant regions of the universe when stars and galaxies were first formed.”American spy satellites looking for the radiation released from Soviet nuclear tests first detected gamma-ray bursts in 1967 but the details were kept classified until 1973.For nearly 25 years scientists were hampered in their efforts to find an explanation for the huge explosions because they lasted no longer than a few seconds. The inability to explain them led to speculation that gamma-ray bursts were the remnants of nuclear battles between alien civilizations, or even the exhaust energy of extraterrestrial spaceships going into warp drive. Two satellites, the American Compton gamma-ray observatory and the Italian-Dutch Bepposax satellite, have now been able to locate the precise direction of gamma-ray bursts within seconds of them occurring. John Quenby, professor of physics at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London, said the most likely explanation for gamma-ray bursts is that they result from the enormous energy released when two very dense objects-called neutron stars-collide.26. According to the passage, “the Big Bang”is used to express all of the following EXCEPT___.[A] the explosion which took place in the form of gamma radiation. [B] the energy burst which took place in the center of the universe. [C] the huge energy burst which created theuniverse.启航英语模考一模卷第5页共11页[D] the explosion which happened about 15 billion years ago. 27. According to the passage gamma-ray bursts______.[A] were made known to the public after 1973. [B] were first detected by Soviet nuclear experts. [C] were detected accidentally.[D] were soon given clear and detailed explanation.28. It can be concluded from the passage that the study of the Big Bang will probably____.[A] display the intensity of nuclear radiation. [B] tell how and when the universe was formed.[C] lead to the discovery of earliest human civilizations.[D] make it possible to communicate with other civilizations.29. Which of the following is NOT directly stated but can be inferred from the passage?[A] Gamma-ray explosion is very, very far away from the earth.[B] Scientists believe that the universe was formed out of the Big Bang. [C] Gamma-ray bursts lasted only a very short period of time.[D] Scientists are still working hard to find more plausible explanations for the Big Bang. 30. Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?[A] Big Bang theory explains the mystery of universe. [B] Astronomy and the creation of universe.[C] Gamma-ray bursts and nuclear wars between alien civilizations.[D] Big BangⅡsheds light on evolution of universe.Test 3The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, in 1868, prohibits state governments from denying citizens the “equal protection of the laws”. Although precisely what the framer's of the amendment meant by this equal protection clause remains unclear, all interpreters agree that the framers immediate objective was to provide a constitutional warrant for the Civil Tights Act of 1866, which guaranteed the citizenship of all persons born in the United States and subject to United States jurisdiction. This declaration, which was echoed in the text of the Fourteenth Amendment, was designed primarily to counter the Supreme Court's ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Black people in the United States could be denied citizenship. The act was vetoed by President Andrew Johnson, who argued that the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery, did not provide Congress with the authority to extend citizenship and equal protection to the freed slaves. Although Congress promptly overrode Johnson's veto, supporters of the act sought to ensure its constitutional foundations with the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment.The broad language of the amendment strongly suggests that its framers were proposing to write into the constitution not a laundry list of specific civil rights but a principle of equal citizenship that forbids organized society from treating any individual as a member of an inferior class. Yet for the first eight decades of the amendment's existence, the Supreme Court's interpretation of the amendment betrayed this ideal of equality. In the Civil Rights Cases of 1883, for example, the Court invented the state action limitation, which asserts that private decisions by owners of public accommodations and other commercial businesses to segregate their facilities are insulated from the reach of the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal启航英语模考一模卷第6页共11页protection under the law.After the Second World War, a judicial climate more hospitable to equal protection claims culminated in the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that racially segregated schools violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Two doctrines embraced by the Supreme Court during this period extended the amendment's reach. First, the court required especially strict scrutiny of legislation that employed a “suspect classification”, meaning discrimination against a group on grounds that could be construed as racial. This doctrine has broadened the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to other, nonracial forms of discrimination, for while some justices have refused to find any legislative classification other than race to be constitutionally disfavored, most have been receptive to arguments that at least some nonracial discriminations, sexual discrimination in particular, are “suspect”and deserve this heightened scrutiny by the courts. Second, the Count relaxed the state action limitation on the Fourteenth Amendment, bringing new forms of private conduct within the amendment's reach.31. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the passage?[A] By presenting a list of specific rights, framers of the Fourteenth Amendment were attempting to provide a constitutional basis of broad judicial protection of the principle of equal citizenship.[B] Only after the Supreme Court adopted the suspect classification approach to reviewing potentially discriminatory legislation was the applicability of the Fourteenth Amendment extended to include sexual discrimination.[C] Not until after the Second World War did the Supreme Court begin to interpret the Fourteenth Amendment in a manner consistent with the principle of equal citizenship that it expressed.[D] Interpreters of the Fourteenth Amendment have yet to reach consensus with regard to what its framers meant by the equal protection clause.32. The passage suggests that the principal effect of the state action limitation was to_______.[A] allow some discriminatory practices to continue unimpeded by the Fourteenth Amendment.[B] influence the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. [C] provide expanded guidelines describing prohibited actions.[D] prohibit states from enacting laws that violated the intent of the Civil Rights Act of 1866.33. The author's position regarding the intent of the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment would be most seriously undermined if which of the following were true?[A] The framers had anticipated state action limitations as they are described in the passage.[B] The framers had merely sought to prevent discriminatory acts, by federal officials.[C] The framers were concerned that the Civil Rights Act of 1866 would be overturned by the Supreme Court.[D] The framers were aware that the phrase equal protection of the laws had broad implication.34. According to the passage, the original proponents of the Fourteenth Amendment were primarily concerned with_______.[A] detailing the rights afforded by the principle of equal citizenship.[B] providing support in the Constitution for equal protection for all citizens of the United States.启航英语模考一模卷第7页共11页[C] closing a loophole that could be used to deny individuals the right to sue forenforcement of their civil rights.[D] asserting that the civil rights protected by the Constitution included nonracial discrimination as well as racial discrimination.35. The author implies that the Fourteenth Amendment might not have been enactedif_______.[A] congress' authority with regard to legislating civil rights had not been challenged.[B] the framers had anticipated the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.[C] the framers had believed that it would be used in deciding cased of discrimination involving nonracial groups.[D] most state governments had been willing to protect citizen's civil rights.Text 4Scientists have known for more than two decades that cancer is a disease of the genes. Something scrambles the DNA inside a nucleus, and suddenly, instead of dividing in a measured fashion, a cell begins to copy itself furiously. Unlike an ordinary cell, it never stops. But describing the process isn't the same as figuring it out. Cancer cells are so radically different from normal ones that it's almost impossible to untangle the sequence of events that made them that way. So for years researchers have been attacking the problem by taking normal cells and trying to determine what changes will turn them cancerous--- always without success.Until now, according to a report in the current issue of Nature, a team of scientists based at MIT's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research has finally managed to make human cells malignant---a feat they accomplished with two different cell types by inserting just three altered genes into their DNA. While these manipulations were done only in lab dishes and won't lead to any immediate treatment, they appear to be a crucial step in understanding the disease. This is a “landmark paper”wrote Jonathan Weitzman and Moshe Yaniv of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, in an accompanying commentary.The dramatic new result traces back to breakthrough in 1983, when the Whitehead's Robert Weinberg and colleagues showed that mouse cells would become cancerous when spiked with two altered genes. But when they tried such alterations on human cells, they didn't work. Since then, scientists have learned that mouse cells differ from human cells in an important respect: they have higher levels of an enzyme called telomerase. That enzyme keeps cap-like structures called telomeres on the ends of chromosomes from getting shorter with each round of cell division. Such shortening is part of a cell's aging process, and since cancer cells keep dividing forever, the Whitehead group reasoned that making human cells more mouse like might also make them cancerous.The strategy worked. The scientists took connective-tissue and kidney cells and introduced three mutated genes-one that makes cells divide rapidly; another that disables two substances meant to rein in excessive division; and a third that promotes the production of telomeres which made the cells essentially immortal. They'd created a tumor in a test tube. “Some people believed that telomerase wasn't that important,”says the Whitehead's William Hahn, the study's lead author. “This allows us to say with some certainty that it is.”Understanding cancer cells in the lab isn't the same as understanding how it behaves in a living body, of course. But by teasing out the key differences between normal and malignant cells, doctors may someday be able to pick up cancer in its earliest stages. The finding could also启航英语模考一模卷第8页共11页lead to drugs tailored to attack specific type of cancer, thereby lessening our dependence on tissue-destroying chemotherapy and radiation. Beyond that, the Whitehead research suggests that this stubbornly complex disease may have a simple origin, and the identification of that origin may turn out to be the most important step of all.36. The best title for the passage would be______.[A] Cancer---A dangerous disease.[B] Differences between cancer cells and normal cells. [C] Differences between mouse cells and human cells. [D] How normal cells become cancerous. 37. Human cells_______.[A] copy themselves without a stop.[B] Would become cancerous when spiked with altered genes. [C] Have higher levels of an enzyme called telomeres. [D] Have lower levels of an enzyme called telomeres. 38. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “feat”?[A] achievement [B] deed [C] action [D] failure 39. What have the scientists NOT achieved?[A] They have made human cells malignant. [B] They have made mouse cells cancerous. [C] They have designed tests to pick up cancer in its earlier stage. [D] They have made it clear how cancer cells behave in the lab.40. Which of the following is not the function of the three mutated genes?[A] To make cells divide rapidly. [B] To disable two substances. [C] To rein in excessive division.[D] To promote the production of telomeres.Part B Directions:In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered bland. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person's knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years; educationists have still failed to device anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. For all the previous claim that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite.41_______________.42_________________. It doesn't matter that you weren't feeling very well, or that your mother died. Little things like that don't count: the exam goes on. No one can give off his best when he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.43__________________.44__________________. What has to be learned is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, so the启航英语模考一模卷第9页共11页student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seekmore and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedoms. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under stress.The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous examiner. Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judge's decision you have the right of appeal, but not after an examiner's.45________________. Is it cynical to suggest that examinations are merely a profitable business for the institutions that run them? This is what it boils down to in the last analysis. The best comment on the system is this illiterate message recently scrawled on a wall: I were a teenage drop-out and now I are a teen- age millionaire.[A] Every class at school requires homework, quizzes, tests, and finally, final exam. We take exams to prove ourselves -- to prove we have advanced our education.[B] There must surely be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person's true abilities.[C] Stress has hit an eleven on the one-to-ten scale during examinations. Stress is not healthy, and it makes everyone angry. The last thing I remember when I go back to school is exams. Is the school trying aversion therapy on its student?[D] The moment a child begins school, he enters a world of vicious competition where successand failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of'drop-outs': people who are written off as utter failures before they have even embarked on a career? Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students?[E] As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success of failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day.[F] They may be a good means of testing memory, or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability and aptitude. [G] A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system does anything but that.Part C Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)(46) The recent US corporate corruption scandal involving several major blue-chip companies and a world famous accounting conglomerate came as a shock not only to the Americans, but also to those foreigners who admire the much-acclaimed American management system. This scandal is all the more alarming because the companies implicated were mostly启航英语模考一模卷第10页共11页trusted household names and the perpetrators were their。

Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one; the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount(数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.( )41.

The message reads, Hey, I’m not OK Please call me, text me, or come to find me.”US teenagers Hannah Lucas, 15, and her brother Charlie, 13, have created an app called not OK. People just need to pay $1.99(12.5yuan) each month to use it.Hannah was inspired(启发) to create the app during a dark time in her life last year.

We will research into some commonly used words and expressions. As with other languages. American English is rich in expressions that come from animals. Today we will talk about the wolf.Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s, to native(土著的)Americans, wolves often meant being brave.However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted. Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals. Whatever the reason, wolves were killed in many places. So many died that they almost became endangered. They also became known as bad animals.To begin with, there is an expression lone wolf. If we call somebody a lone wolf. He isn’t a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself. In fact, he sometimes makes you think he doesn’t want to be around people because he dislikes them.Now, let’s move on to the home. Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food. In other words, the child eats too quickly and without care. And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.A wolf call is the noise made by man to show that he likes the way a woman looks. But a wolf call is not a nice thing. These men sound rude. And trust me, most women really hate wolf calls. So,they don’t help a man in the game of love.By the way, there is popular expression about wolf from a very old story: a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someo ne who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside. It tells us not to be fooled by appearances.( )51. What can we know after reading the passage?A. Wolves are dangerous and should be killed in order to protect other animals.B. Only in American English can we expect to find expressions about wolves.C. In different areas and times, wolves make people think of different things.D. Nobody lived in north America before the Europeans went there in the 1500s.( )52. If a person is called a lone wolf, which of the following things is he most likely to do?A. Helping classmates to finish homework.B. Stealing money if nobody is watching.C. Making many friends with people around.D. Going to see a movie on his own after school.( )53. Which of the following expressions can be used on a student who often breaks school rules?教育资源A. A lone wolf.B. Raised by wolves.C. Wolf callD. A wolf in sheep’s clothing( )54. How many expressions about wolf are mentioned in this article?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six( )55. Where is it possible for us to find the passage above?A. A book for travel guideB. A magazine on trade and business.C. A science report.D. A program for English learning. 教育资源。
