We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat s eemed to roast(烘烤>us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good brea kfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转>the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.41. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. They made a careful preparation before the tripB. They children were more joyful than their parents.C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.42. The under lined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means .A. we were weakB. we were unhappyC. we were dissatisfiedD. we were disappointed43. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It proved to be frightening.B. It was more comfortableC. It turned out to be excitingD. It made each of them tired.44. We can infer from the passage that .A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.BPhotographs are everywhere. They decorate (装饰> the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty(贫穷>caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however,can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.As historical and artistic documents(文献> ,photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish(发表> them in books and on the Internet.45. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .A. beautiesB. photosC. goodsD. events46. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos .A. are also works of artB. are popular ways of reporting newsC. often shock the publicD. can serve as a force for social change47. What can we learn from the passage?A. News with pictures is encouraging.B. Photos help people improveC. News photos mean history in a sense.D. People prefer reading news with pictures.48. The text is mainly about.A. telling the story through pictureB. decorating the walls of homesC. publishing historical papersD. expressing feeling through picturesCThis was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experim ent: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing – the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次>of meaning . Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate(本科>science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学>.Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make to m ake it an enjoyable experience for students.”But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this; All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they cam teach better.49. What do we know about this unusual class?A. The teachers did lots of writing on the boardB. The teacher were invited to attend several lectures.C. The student were professors from a universityD.

What did the science professors learn after the experiment?A. They should change the way they teachB. A poem could be explained in clear definitions.C. A poetry class could be more informative.D. Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.DRunners in a relay(接力> race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of citied and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B, C, to about A, D, 1300, when sea travel offered new routes(路线>, It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接>different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy(外交>, and religion (宗教>53. It’s probable that traders along the Silk Road needed .A. to remember the entire trade routeB. to know the making of productsC. to receive certain special trainingD. to deal with a lot of difficulties54. The Silk Road became less important because.A. it was made up of different routesB. silk trading became less popularC. sea travel provided easier routesD. people needed fewer foreign goods55. New technologies could travel along the Silk Road because people.A. learned from one anotherB. shared each other’s beliefsC. traded goods along the routeD. earned their living by traveling56. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Silk Road ; Past and PresentB. The Silk Road; East Meets WestC. The Silk Road; Routes Full of DangersD. The Silk Road; Pathways for LearningEDid you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明地> than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” andIt has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key tospatial(空间地> tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may ex plain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿> are about mine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children ad young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物> before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors(祖先> ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do wi th it.” says a biologist.57. Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’sB. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.58. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?A. Women prefer doing many things at a time.B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.C. Women do not need to tell directions.D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.59. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skillsC. Women may have stronger feelings than men.D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.60. What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?A. Defensive.B. Persuasive.C. Supportive.D.

This revolutionary concept 55 the face of retailing (零售业) and led to the development of advertising and marketing as we know it today.But convincing as that slogan was, 56 the shopper was cheated out of the crown. 57 manufacturing efficiency increased the variety of goods and lowered prices, people still relied on advertisements to get most information about products. Through much of the past century, ads spoke to an audience restricted to just a few radio or television channels or a 58 number of publications. Now media choice, has 59 too, and consumers select what they want from a far greater variety of sources—especially with a few clicks of a computer mouse. 60 the internet, the consumer is finally seizing power.As our survey shows, 61 has great implications for companies, because it is changing the way the world shops. Many firms already claim to be “customer-driven” or “consumer-centered”. Now their 62 will be tested as never before.

But in the rich world, children can 36 from a different kind of poverty — of the spirit. 37 , one Western country alone now sees 14, 000 attempted suicides (自杀) every year by children under 15, and one child 38 five needs psychiatric(心理)advice.There are many good things about 39 in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 40 and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 41 , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working 42 and often shares in that work.A child 43 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's 44 : helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies -- rather than 45 playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 46 playing with dolls.These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the 47 children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, 48 , are provided with a watch as one of the 49 signs of growing up, so that they can 50 along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows …Third World children do not usually 51 to stay indoors, still less in high rise apartments (公寓). Instead of dangerous roads, "keep off the grass" signs and "don't speak to strangers", there is often a sense of 52 to study and play.

I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner 41 whether they w ere “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were 42 like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.My family was 43 . We paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner 44 us ?At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer. I nodded 45 I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves. When I brought my 46 to the cash desk, I said47 , “I need to put this on credit.”The farmer gave me and amused, distrustful 48 . But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said 49 . “Your daddy is 50 good for it.” He 51 to the other man. “This here is one of James Williams’s sons.”The farmer nodded in a neighborly 52 . I was filled with pride. James William’s son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.That day I discovered that the good name my parents had 53 brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors.

For questions 8-10,co mplete the sentences with the information given in the passage.What will the world be like in fifty years?This week some top scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, gave their visi on of how the world will look in 2056,fron gas-powered cars to extraordinary he alth advances, John Ingham reports on what the world’s finest minds believe o u r futures will be.For those of us lucky enough to live that long,2056 will be a world of alm ost perpetual youth, where obesity is a remote memory and robots become our c ompanions.We will be rubbing shoulders with aliens and colonizing outer space. Better still, our descendants might at last live in a world at peace with itself.The prediction is that we will have found a source of inexbaustible, safe, gr een energy, and that science will have killed off religion. If they are right we wil l have removed two of the main causes of war-our dependence on oil and religi ous prejudice.Will we really, as today’s scientists claim, be able to live for ever or at lea st cheat the ageing process so that the average person lives to 150?Of course, all these predictions come with a scientific health warning. Harva rd professor Steven Pinker says: “This is an invitation to look foolish, as with t he predictions of domed cities and nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners that were m ade 50 year ago.”Living longerAnthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina, beli ves failing organs will be repaired by injecting cells into the body. They will natu rally to straight to the injury and help heal it. A system of injections without needles could also slow the ageing process by using the same process to “tune” cells.Bruce Lahn, professor of human genetics at the University of Chicago, antici pates the ability to produce“unlimited supplies”of transplantable human organs without the needed a new organ, such as kidney, the surgeon would contact a c ommercial organ producer, give him the patient’s immuno-logical profile and wo uld then be sent a kidney with the correct tissue type.These organs would be entirely composed of human cells, grown by introdu cing them into animal hosts, and alloweing them to deveoop into and organ in place of the animal’s own. But Prof. Lahn believes that farmed brains would be “off limits”.He says: “Very few people would want to have their brains repl aced by someone else’s and we probably don’t wa nt to put a human brain in g an animal body.”Richard Miller, a professor at the University of Michigan, thinks scientist co uld develop“an thentic anti-ageing drugs” by working out how cells in larger a nimals such as whales and human resist many forms of injuries. He says:“It’s i s now routine, in laboratory mammals, to extend lifespan by about 40%. Turning on the same protective systems in people should, by 2056, create the first class of 100-year-olds who are as vigorous and productive as today’s people in their 60s”AliensConlin Pillinger ,professor of planerary sciences at the Open University,says:”I fancy that at least we will be able to show that life didi start to evolve on M ars well as Earth.”Within 50years he hopes scientists will prove that alien li fe ca me here in Martian meteorites(陨石).Chris McKay,a planetary scientist at NASA’s Ames Research that in 50 ye ars we may find evidence of alien life in ancient permanent forst of Mars or on other planers.He adds:”There is even a chance we will find alie n life forms here on mi ghtbe as different as English is to Chinese.Priceton professor Freeman Dyson thinks it “likely” that life form outer s pace will be discovered defore 2056 because the tools for finding it, such as opti cal and radio detection and data processing,are improving.He ays:”As soon as the first evidence is found,we will know what to look for and additional discoveries are likely to follow discoveries are likely to have r evolutionary consequences for biology, astronomy and philosophy. They may chan ge the way we look at ourselves and our place in the universe.Colonies in spaceRichard Gottprofessor of astrophysics at Princeton,hopes man will set up a self-sufficient colony on Mars,which would be a “life insurance policy against wh atever catastrophes,natural or otherwise,might occur on Earth.“The real space race is whether we will colonise off Earth on to other wo rlds before money for the space programme runs out.”Spinal injuriesEllen Heber-Katz,a professor at the Wistar Institude in Philadelphia,foresees cures for inijuries causing paralysis such as the one that afflicated Superman star Christopher Reeve.She says:”I believe that the day is not far off when we will be able to pro fescribe drugs that cause severes(断裂的) spinal cords to heal,hearts to regenerate and lost limbs to regrow.“People will come to expect that injured or diseased organs are meant to be repaired from within,inmuch the same way that we fix an appliance or autom obile:by replancing the damaged part with a manufacturer-certified new part.”She predict that within 5 to 10 years fingers and toes will be regrown and limbs will start to be regrown a few years later. Reparies to the nervous system will start with optic nerves and,in time,the spinal cord.”Within 50years whole body replace ment will be routine,” adds.ObesitySydney Brenner,senior distinguished fellow of the Crick-Jacobs Center in Cali fornia,won the 2002 Noblel Prize for Medicine and says that if there is a global disaster some humans will survive-and evolition will favour small people with bod ies large enough to support the required amount of brain power.”Obesity,”he s ays.”will have been solved.”RobotsRodney Brooks,professor of robotice at MIT,says the problems of developing artificial intelligence for robots will be at least partly a result,”the possibilities for robots working with people will open up immensely”EnergyBill Joy,green technology expert in Califomia,says:”The most significant break throught would be to have an inexhaustible source of safe,green energy that is s ubstantially cheaper than any existing energy source.”Ideally,such a source would be safe in that it could not be made into weap ons and would not make hazardous or toxic waste or carbon dioxide,the main gr eenhouse gas blamed for global warming.SocietyGeoffrey Miller,evolutionary psychologist at the University of New Mexico, says:”The US will follow the UKin realizing that religion is nor a prerequisite (前提)for ordinary human decency.“This,science will kill religion-not by reason challenging faith but by offer ing a more practical,uniwersal and rewarding moral frameworkfor human interactio n.”He also predicts that “ahsurdly wasteful”displays of wealth will become umfashionable while the importance of close-knit communities and families will b ecome clearer.These there changer,he says,will help make us all”brighe\ter,wiser,happier and kinder”.注意:此部份试题请在答题卡1上作答。
