AEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for--its stadium(运动场)and theaters, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano(火山).Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (喷发)for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash.Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women like to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.51.Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcanoB.To shop and eat there.C.To watch sports and playsD.To see how Pompeiians lived.52.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A.The city nearby offered ll kinds of fun.B.The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C.Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.D.The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.53.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B.Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C.Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.54.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A.They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B.They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.C.They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D.They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.Keys: 51-54 DCBA第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

CI'm seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work.While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago.I remembered his name and said,“Mr Castle, how are you?”We tal ked about this and that. As he left, he said,“I t was nice talking to you, Brett.”I felt great, he remembered me. The n I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn't remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put“Irving”down on my name plate. If he'd have said,“Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?”I'd have been ready for him. There's nothing personal here.The manager and everyone else who were a step above above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was:you couldn't accept tips(小费).Okay, I'm outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反应)is to take a quarter and give it me. I'd say,“I'm sorry, I can't”They'd get angry. When you give someone a tip,you're sort of being polite. You take a q uarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say,“Oh, thanks a lot.”When you say,“I'm sorry, I can't”they feel a little put down. They say,“No one will know.”And they put it in your pocket. You say,“I really can't”It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically(身体上)to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store's belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn't understand the strangeness of some people's ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.60.What can be the best title for this text?A.How Hard Life is for Box BoysB.Getting along with CustomersC.Why I Gave up My JobD.The Art of Taking Tips61.Form the second paragraph, we can infer that________.A.the writer didn't like the impersonal part of his jobB.with a name plate, people can easily start talkingC.Mr Castle mistook Irving for BrettD.Irving was the writer's real name62.The box boy refused to accept tips because_______.A.customers only gave small tipsB.some customers had strange ideas about tippingC.the store forbade the box boys to take tipsD.he didn't want to fight with the customers63.The underlined phrase“put down”in the third paragraph probably means_______.A.misunderstoodB.defeatedC.hatefulD.hurtKeys: 60-63 CACD第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

AOdland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland can‟t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman‟s kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It‟s OK. It wasn‟t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO (总裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn‟t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It‟s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called, Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”56. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman‟s dress?A. The woman left the restaurant at once.B. The woman comforted him.C. He was blamed.D. He was fired.57. Odland learned one of his life lessons from ________.A. an interesting best-selling bookB. the advice given by the CEOsC. an article in FortuneD. his experience as a waiter58. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about __________.A. Fortune 500 companiesB. the Management RulesC. the Waiter RuleD. Swanson‟s book59. From the text we can learn that __________.A. one should respect others no matter who they areB. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurantsC. CEOs often show their power before othersD. one should be nicer to important peopleKeys: 56-59 BDCA第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

BWhen I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts(童子军), so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded(环绕)by cliffs (悬崖). If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.Several days later, the scoutmaster had to he away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river- we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank.One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking every-where carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.55.The writer in the text mainly tells us _________.A.the story of his childhoodB.a strange camping experienceC.about a stranger by the riverD.about a good place for camping.56.Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?A.They wanted to delay going to the river bank.B.They were waiting for their scoutmaster.C.They had a supper earlier than usual.D.They were taking while eating.57.The word“bewildered”in the text probably means _________.A.ashamedB.nervousC.unable to understandD.eager to know something58.When he heard what had happened, the scoutmaster __________.A.realized who the man wasB.started to worry about the manC.went back to look for the canD.felt it hard to believe the boys59.The writer still remembers the event because________.A.the boys acted foolishlyB.the camping place is beautifulC.there has been no explanation for the eventD.he particularly enjoyed his camping that summer.Keys: 55-59 BACDC第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

CWhat Cocktail Parties Teach UsYou’re at a party. Music is playing. Glasses are clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktail-party effect.”Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain—in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “it’s as if only one person was speaking alone,” says investigator Edward Chang.These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren’t very good at multitasking-our brains are wired for “selective attention” and can focus o n only one thing at a time. That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激). But we keep trying to push the limit with multitasking, sometimes with tragic consequences. Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren’t.Many of those accidents are due to “inattentional blindness”, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they aren’t focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (视网膜) and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “It’s a push-pull relationship-the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,” says Diane M. Beck, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.Studies over the past decade a t the University of Utah show’ that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation, not the device that is distracting their attention. Those talking on any kind ofcellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important — like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can effectively multitask, but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say.43. What have scientists in University of Cali fornia found about “the cocktail-party effect”?A. Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.B. All kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.C. The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.D. Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain,44. What do we learn from the passage?A. We are biologically incapable of multitasking.B. We survive distractions in life by multitasking,C. We cannot multitask without extra attention.D. We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.45. Which of the following is an example of “inattentional blindness”?A. A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.B. Police scanned the crowds and located the criminal.C. A manager talked on a hands-free phone with his client,D. A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing.46. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. compare and contrastB. inform and explainC. argue and discussD. examine and evaluateKeys: 43-46 DADD第二部分阅读理解(共两节,40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分;:共30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

DYou are what you eat. This saying has provided scientists with clues(线索)about the diet of hominids-our early relatives of 3 million years ago.Studying carbon atoms(碳原子)locked up in tooth enamel(珐琅质),two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Tomn, South Africa, report their findings in Friday's Science.There aren't many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids' teeth offered the first clues. Large and flat-edged with thick enamel, they looked perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools. Which would help in eating meat, didn't appear until about half a million years later.Scientists have also found marks on hominids' teeth with patterns very similar to those on the teeth of modern-day fruit eaters. Sponheimer and Lee-Thorp tried a new method, looking at the chemical composition of the tooth enamel. They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Ani-mals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.What they found was that the teeth of the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects(昆虫)。

AEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for--its stadium(运动场)and theaters, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano(火山).Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (喷发)for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash.Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women like to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.51.Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcanoB.To shop and eat there.C.To watch sports and playsD.To see how Pompeiians lived.52.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A.The city nearby offered ll kinds of fun.B.The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C.Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.D.The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.53.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B.Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C.Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.54.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A.They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B.They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.C.They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D.They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
AOne of the greatest killers in the Western world in heart disease.The death rate (率)from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years.Today in Britain,for example,about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Mdical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly,by not smoking,by changing their diets,and by paying more attention to reducing stress (压力) in their work .However,Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease.There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease .Instead of supporting such programs,however,the U.S.health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops.This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years.In this time,modern technology hasenabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques.Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky (有风险的) a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S.hospitals.The result had been a huge increase in heart surgery.Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people,some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages.First,it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention.Second,it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise.After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery,they must try to recover the money they have spent.To do this,they raise costs for all their patients,not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment.The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery—even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary—because the equipment and expert skills are there.A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low.In one type of heart surgery,for example ,only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery.However,more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.56. What effect has modern technology had on medicine ?A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.B. It has helped save the lives of most patients.C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.57. ―To do this‖(in Paragraph 3)means .A. to help patients recoverB. to increase the number of heart surgeriesC. to get back the money spent on the equipmentD. to buy new equipment for the treatment to heart disease58. The author would agree that .A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart diseaseB. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditionsC. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than beforeD. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease59. What would be the best title for the passage ?A. The Greatest Killer in the WestB. Heart Disease:Treat or PreventC. Modern Technology and Heart SurgeryD. Heart Surgery:Advantages and Disadvantages第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
