Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days afterthe sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer. Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared theDNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."61. The baby travelled on the Titanic with his___________.A. motherB. parentsC. auntD. relatives62. What is probably the boy's last name?A. SchleiferiB. Eino.C. Magda.D. Panula.63. This text is mainly about how______________.A. the unknown baby's body was taken from the north AtlanticB. the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova ScotiaC. people found out who the unknown baby wasD. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 yearsBTwo hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world's largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows(草地), mountain and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats(栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos' natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会) named the area one of America's "Last Great Places" .Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania,the conservancy's Bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging（打造）partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose's family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family's land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents. "The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort."For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world's other "Last Great Places," please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .64. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America's "Last Great Places" is to_____.A. gain support from the local communityB. protect it from irresponsible developmentC. make it a better home for black bearsD. provide financial security for future generations65. We learn from the passage that________.A. the population in the Pocono area is growingB. wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC. the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD. farmlands in the Pocono area are getting smaller fast66. What does Bud Cook mean by "having a local presence" (Line 1, Para. 5)?A. Financial contributions from local business leadersB. Consideration of the interests of the local residentsC. The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the areaD. The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area67. The passage most probably is _____.A. an official documentB. a news storyC. an advertisementD. a research reportCRalph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took them about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is California’s original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing—speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph’s instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“Don’t thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. You’re under arrest.”“What?” Ralph was astonished. “What’s going on?”“Buying scalped tickets(黄牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Don’t worry. We’ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!”68.Why didn’t Ralph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A.Because they were not very interested in baseball.B.Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.Because it was time-consuming to go there.D.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.69.Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because the road conditions were poor.D. Because people always drove too fast.70.By saying “Ralph’s instincts were correct,” the author means that ________.A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the manC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable prices71.What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. A police officer.C. A robber.D. Mayor of the city.DIf Procter & Gamble stooped(堕落) to hire Vietnam veterans（老兵）to peek（偷看）into a rival’s(对手的) dustbins, it knows it is not alone. Spying is common in consumer product industries where the timing of a $ 100 million marketing campaign and a product launch can be critical to success or failure.In January, Kraft, the food giant, accused a rival of stealing trade secrets about a new pizza base. Kraft claimed that Schwan’s Sales enterprises hired a double agent and a freelance(自由职业者) corporate intelligence agent to find the secret to Kraft’s “rising crust” frozen pizza. According to Kraft, the freelance agent Marc Barry pretended as a reporter, a food researcher and a Kraft manager to collect information. The strategy apparently worked. The company complained that even “aslight advantage in the market place could mean millions of dollars of sales lost.”Even Unilever admits the importance of market intelligence. “Everyone does competitive intelligence.” The company said, but the problem is the dividing line between legal research and immoral or even illegal activities. The law is unclear: breaking and entering is clearly illegal but studying rivals through dustbins on public property does not go against the law. Spying has also leapt into cyberspace with the recent investigation by the European Parliament into the use of the Echelon network, a military intelligence（情报）network. France and Holland complained that the network, run by Britain’s GCHQ and America’s National Security Agency, was being used to spy on corporate e-mails, causing their national firms to lose deals.Procter & Gamble itself knows the risks and the company’s attempts to build a wall around its headquarters. According to Alecia Swasy, a financial journalist, leaving an internal telephone directory on your desk is an offence likely leading to be unemployed at P&G.72. The chief concern of the consumer product companies is ______.A. to hire veterans to peek into a rival’s dustbinsB. to know that they are not alone in competitive spyingC. to invest a $ 100 million into consumer product industriesD. to set the time at which products are put on market73.Who was hired by Schwan’s Sales enterprises to find Kraft’s secret?A. A Vietnam veteranB. A food researcherC. A Kraft managerD. A double agent74. Which of the following mentioned in the passage doesn’t do spying?A. The Echelon networkB. France and HollandC. Schwan’s Sales enterprisesD. America’s National Security Agency75. The best title for this passage may be ______.A. Big Business of Industrial SpyingB. Legal Research or Illegal ActivityC. The Key to Success or FailureD. The Importance of Market IntelligenceESome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building rules wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to resist a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern" at night, according to oneobserver. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is strengthened with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber(木头) pilings (屋基)—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges (波涛汹涌) to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.76. After the tragedy caused by.

Life第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）第一节 (共15小题，每小题2分，共30分) A Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information. The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper. Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago. 46. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself . A. a serious newspaper B. foreign newspaper C. any independent paper D. a popular newspaper 47. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for _______ years. A. 126 B. 326 C. 226 D. 429 48. The Times is an independent paper because .A. it supports no political partiesB. it is not controlled by the British GovernmentC. it gives special support to all thepolitical parties. D. the editor’s opinions are not examine d by the owners of the paper 49. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “______”. A. improve B. compete with each other C. are different D. keep in touch with each other 50. The writer tells us _______ in this passage. A. all kinds of newspapers in Britain B. all kinds of news in English papers C. how Times is liked by people D. why Times is well-known B Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or otheropen spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. 51. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of? A. Cycling around a lake. B. Motor racing in the desert. C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming in a sports center. 52. What do we know about golf from the passage? A. It is more popular in Portugal than in Spain. B. It causes water shortages around the world. C. It pollutes the earth with wastes. D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green. 53. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _________. A. it is an outdoor sport B. it improves our health C. it uses fewer resources D. it is recommended by experts 54. The author writes the passage to _________. A. show us the function of major sports B. encourage us to go in for green sports C. discuss the major influence of popular sports D. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports 55. The following are the functions of power walking EXCEPT_______. A. It may help you control your weight. B. It can make you feel relaxed. C. It may help you have a sound sleep. D. It can make you feel anxious.C I got my first driver’s license in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry S mith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said. I argued, pointing to a very large belly of mine,”I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to havesomeone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?” Henry encourag ed me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it. “No.” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license. I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since the n I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive. 56. Susan got her first driver's license . A. before she got married to Henry B. when she was twenty years old C. after she finished high school D. when she just moved to Maryland 57. When she first got her driver’s license, she was ________ years old. A. fourteen B. fifteen C. sixteen D. seventeen 58. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because . A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law B. she lacked driving experience in Maryland C. she was to give birth to a baby soon D. she insisted on signing for herself 59. The underlined word “belly” in the passage probably means “______”. A.罩衫 B. 肚子 C. 围巾 D. 身材 60. We can infer from the text that in the U.S. . A. American males should serve in the army B. different states may have different laws C. people have to renew their licenses in their home states D. women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriage 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从下框的A―F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George. “Hand it over!” George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part—close to six thousand dollars. The robber snatched them and turned to leave.Then while everyone watched the robber, George calmly lifted the top part of the money-box, took bills from the bottom part and put them into his won pocket secretly.The door was shut and the bank robber was gone. George fainted(晕倒).As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George counted the money. He had eight thousand dollars.

If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?”, maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be foundalmost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these frien ds. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex (性别). They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their heart into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all thethings can be done by computers and the Internet.61. The Internet cannot be used for __________．A. studyingB. shoppingC.thinking D. playing62. When the computer was invented, it was__________．A. large and worked quicklyB. small and worked slowlyC. large but worked slowlyD. small but worked quickly63.

Students use the Internet to make “unreal friends”.C. These “unreal friends” often meet each other.D. Students know the friends on the Internet very well.65. What does the writer think of the Internet?A. It is wonderful.B. It can make students study harder.C. It is not good for students.D. It is helpful, but we can’t do everything on it.CWe know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobsters（龙虾）. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.66. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to __________ .A. give birthB. enjoy warmer weatherC. find food more easilyD. find beautiful places67. The fish called “salmon” spends a long life in __________.A. salt waterB. riversC. fresh waterD. its birthplace68. The mice in northern Europe move when __________.A. they give birthB. the weather is badC. the place gets too crowdedD. they haven’t enough food69. The lobsters move __________ .A. to the fresh waterB. to the sea floorC. at a certain timeD. tofind more food70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.B. The migration of the fish calle d “salmon” is the most famous migration.C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t.DMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. Th e systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”71. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.72. What’s the purpose wh en the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.B. To let readers know how special his house is.C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.73. The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.A. it has been controlled by computersB. you can make a telephone call anywhereC. it has your favorite music following youD. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice74. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor.C. Anidealist D. An experienced teacher.75. What can’t be done in the writer’s new house?A. turns on the lightsB. play musicC. get a telephone callD. go swimming第四部分：书面表达(共两节，满分45分)第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)On October 19，1959，the first Special English program was broadcast(广播)on the Voice of America．It was an experiment．The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language was not English．Experts said the goal was admirable，but the method would not work．However，_______________．The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA．And they still are． Forty years later，Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English．But during the years its role has expanded．It also helps people learn American-English．It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way．And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.Today，Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week，five times a day．Each half-hourly broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20minutes of feature(特写报道)programming．There is a different short feature every weekday about science，development，agriculture，and environment，and on the weekend about news events and American idioms．These programs are followed by in-depth(深入地)15 minutes features about American culture，history，science，medicine，space，important people or short stories．76.
