Every day for about two weeks, I 39 those charming flowers.This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I could 40 the kitchen window while doing some 41 and see the flowers.

She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, 51 age and distance, we haven’t been as 52 as we all would have liked.

There are some people, however, who believe they can sense when a major geological (地质学上的) event is coming. They claim to be “earthquake sensitive.”Sensitivity to the earth’s movements, according to those who say they have it, is revealed in different ways. Some say they are unusually clumsy and keep dropping things and having small ac cidents just before a big event. Others suddenly have a strong desire to eat popcorn, and don’t know why. Though it may sound crazy, they say it tells them that a big earthquake is less than 24 hours away.The most common sign of an approaching disaster among earthquake sensitive people is said to be a bad headache. Arguably the first person to connect her own headaches to coming geological events was an American woman called Charlotte King. She became famous for her prediction of the eruption of Washingt on’s Mt. St. Helens on May 18, 1980, when she was accurate to within 12 minutes of the actual event.King was tested by doctors and scientists and found to possess unusual hearing abilities. She could hear sounds in frequencies that most human beings cannot, and claimed to have been hearing such sounds since 1976. Three years later, she noticed that when the sounds changed in pitch or rhythm, giving her unpleasant headaches, a large earthquake would be reported within 72 hours.1. It is stated in the first paragraph that there may be _______.A. people who are better than machines at sensing earthquake activityB. people who are developing new methods of preventing earthquakesC. new machines that will soon be able to accurately predict earthquakesD. new machines to help earthquake sensitive people make predictions2. What word best describes the type of sensitivity referred to in the passage?A. Medical.B. Technological.C. Geological.D. Musical.3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a sign of an approaching earthquake?A. An urge to eat popcorn.B. A tendency to drop things.C. A painful headache.D. A very loud noise.4. Charlotte King became well known because she _______.A. timed an earthquake to within 12 minutesB. correctly predicted a big volcanic eruptionC. can make sounds other people cannot hearD. is smarter than many doctors and scientistsKey: ACDB(B)According to the latest research in the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University has noticed the difference in the style of boys’ and girls’ conversations from an early age. She says that little girls’ conversation is less definite than boys’ and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy(亲密,亲近). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching is one job where the differences between men’s and women’s ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence(因此,所以)more power in conversation. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre-programmed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias(倾向性)in its programming, otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.5.In the opinion of the writer, women encourage men to talk more because .A. it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationshipB. it well help to establish status with their listenersC. it well help to express more clearlyD. it well help to communicate better6.There are in little girls’ conversation than in boys’.A. fewer doubtsB. more demandsC. more doubtsD. fewer uncertainties7.Some scientists believe that brain is pre-programmed for language. The word“pre-programmed” means .A. programmed alreadyB. programmed before one is bornC. programmed earlyD. programmed by women8.In private conversation, women speak .A. the same things as menB. less than menC. more than menD. as much as men9.The theme of this article is .A. women are naturally more helpfulB. men and women talk different languagesC. men talk most and interrupt other speakers moreD. little girls’ conversation is less definiteKey: ACBDB(C)The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracte d by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(身体上).Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.10. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products11. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet12. In Paragr aph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories13. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy14. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?Key: CDABB(D)Growing up on an isolated tobacco farm in rural Virginia in the early '50s, Ella Avery was accustomed to hard times. When she was seven, her family's farmhouse burned to the ground, and they lost everything. Her father dragged an old chicken coop up to the smokehouse and improvised a makeshift homestead that sheltered the family for over a year. Eight people slept in two beds.After a new house was finally built, officials periodically showed up to nail a sign on the old oak tree at the edge of the property. The message was ominous: "This farm will be sold at public auction to satisfy delinquent payments." Her father always managed to borrow enough to fend off disaster, but Ella's fear never went away. "I grew up," she says, "with a sense of impending loss."Ella would find her salvation in school, even as a C student, thanks to one teacher. It was Mr.Miller who encouraged her to think about life beyond that tobacco farm. And now it is Ella who's finding ways to help and inspire others.As soon as Ella and her four brothers and two sisters were big enough to carry a bucket, they were out in the fields. "I did everything there was to do," she recalls. "Tobacco stringer, leaf handler, planter, water boy." Depending on the season, the children were up at daybreak to work before school, then back in the fields until sundown.The local school board operated a one-room schoolhouse on the family land. From grades one to five, the Averys and neighbor children in Meredithville, a tiny community 20 miles from the North Carolina border, all had one teacher. In the school's single room, little huddles of desks represented each class. "It was grand and glorious to me," says Ella.But when she moved on to middle school in a nearby town, Ella was alarmingly behind her new classmates. Not knowing her times tables, she was paralyzed with fear that the teacher who smacked students' hands with a yardstick would call on her. Ella kept her head down, trying not to be noticed, struggling to catch up and feeling like an outsider.At James Solomon Russell High School in Lawrenceville, nine miles from the tobacco farm, things got worse. Schools in the South were still segregated, and Ella claims she experienced the worst discrimination of her life from black students with lighter skin and longer hair. "They were the cheerleaders and majorettes, the ones on the honor roll," she says. "I was one of those dark-skinned country children who didn't matter." Ella plugged along, rarely achieving a grade above C plus.Then one day in biology class, when Ella was 15, a teacher named Mr. Miller changed everything. "He'd had polio as a child and walked with a limp. I think he had felt the ostracism and indifference I had felt," she says. Looking his students in the eye, Mr. Miller spoke passionately. "Just because you are not an honor roll student," he said, "does not mean you do not have a valuable contribution to make. The backbone of our society is the good, solid-C student. Some of you have to work the fields in the evening and do not have the time to study. But if you do your best, you have a gift to give."Until then, Ella had set her sights no higher than cosmetology school, though she found nothing about it exciting. But Mr. Miller's words resonated with her. "I believed him. And I kept thinking about it. He said if you were a solid C, you could do well. I was a solid C."An announcement was made one morning directing all college-bound students to report to the cafeteria to take a test for scholarships. Ella impulsively stood up. Behind her, she heard someone say, "Are you going to college, Ella Avery?" Without missing a beat, she turned around. "Yes, I am," she said, and walked out the door.When the results came back, Ella had won a scholarship to nearby St. Paul's College, one of 39 historically black institutions supported by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), an organization dedicated to reducing financial barriers to higher education. Ella could barely believe it. "This was the turning point of my whole life," she says. "I got my foot in the door. It gave me a great sense of confidence." Her father had left school after the third grade; her motherhad finished the seventh.College wasn't easy. At the end of the first semester, Ella lost her scholarship after doing poorly on a world-history exam. But she didn't give up. She applied for student loans and worked two jobs: in the nursery school on campus during the week and in a barbecue spot all weekend. In the summers, she taught in the Head Start program and worked at an officers' club on a military base.Ella graduated with a degree in elementary education on a Sunday in May 1967. Her proud family gave her a small suitcase, which she still has, as a graduation gift. That afternoon, she packed it and hitched a ride to Washington, D.C. On Monday morning, she went downtown to the school board and got a job in the public school system.At the end of her first year, Ella entered the graduate program at George Washington University and continued to teach. "All my education until then had been segregated," she says. "I needed to prove to myself that I could compete with anyone." She received a master's in education in 1970, the same year she married Ron Smothers, an Army man stationed at the Pentagon. After he left the military, he joined Burger King Corporation as a district manager. Over the next six years, Ella gave birth to two sons and taught in public schools in Miami; Royal Oak, Michigan; and San Diego. In 1976, after saving $10,000, the family opened its first Burger King in Los Angeles. Eventually Ella stopped teaching, and the couple expanded to six restaurants.When they divorced, in 1992, Ella was left with two of the franchises, including one in the troubled Watts section of L.A. "I was determined to turn it around," she says, "and I did. Now it's one of my best-performing restaurants." She has since expanded to seven restaurants; this year, she will open the first of ten El Pollo Loco restaurants in the Norfolk area of her home state, Virginia.In gratitude for what she has been able to achieve, Ella donates to St. Paul's College and the UNCF. And -- no surprise -- she is an ardent champion of the C student. It troubles her that the civic organizations and professional societies she belongs to inevitably choose honor students to receive scholarships. "These students will go on to college," she says. "The ones I want to help are the solid-C students, like I was, who just need help and direction. These are the ones we are losing. That's why any deserving employee in any of my Burger King restaurants who registers for college and needs help paying for it will get help."Nothing pleases her more than writing a check for $1,000 to cover books and other expenses. Ella has no idea how much money she's given away. She's more interested in helping others achieve. When a young employee was left paraplegic and depressed after a car accident, Ella gave her a computer and an office job and refused to let her drop out of college. Today, Rocio Magdaleno is a first-grade teacher."I don't know what happened to Mr. Miller," Ella says today, 48 years after sitting in his classroom. "But he was right."15. Which of the following is true?A. Ella was a C student because she was not clever.B. Both of her parents were college students.C. Ella always won her scholarship in St. Paul's CollegeD. Ella is willing to help any of her employees in need who wants to go to college.16. What was the turning point of her whole life?A. That she had the chance go to St. Paul's College sponsored by the United Negro CollegeFundB. That Her father dragged an old chicken coop up to the smokehouse and improvised amakeshift homesteadC. That the family opened its first Burger King in Los Angeles in 1976.D. That she had to do several part-time jobs in St. Paul's College.17.

完形填空Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often 16 that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so 17 with the city that he had to leave.So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were busily 18 up their new home, the light suddenly 19 . Terry was regretful to have forgotten bringing along 20 and had to wait 21 in a low mood. Just then he heard light, hesitant 22 on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the 23 night.“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a 24 to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be 25 , so he went to the door and opened it 26 . At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door 27 . “What a nuisance(讨厌)!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to 28 things.”After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the same girl outside.29 this time she was 30 two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She 31 me here to give you these.” Terry was very 32 by what he saw.At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his 33 in life. It was his 34 and harshness (刻薄) with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was 35 nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred (蒙蔽) by his unsympathetic mind.16. A. complaining B. reflecting C. praying D. pretending17. A.inspired B. disappointed C. thrilled D. encouraged18.A. looking B. turning C. coming D. tidying19.A. went on B. went down C. went out D. went through20.A. candles B. matches C. lights D. flashlights21.A. happily B. patiently C. hopefully D. helplessly22.A. steps B. words C. knocks D. screams23.A. dark B. quiet C. noisy D. crowded24.A. newcomer B. stranger C. guest D. settler25.A. called B. disturbed C. watched D. offered26.A. surprisedly B. delightedly C. impatiently D. willingly27.A. gently B. kindly C. politely D. violently28.A. lend B. sell C. purchase D. borrow29.A.

The Soufriere Hill V olcano on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean began to erupt in July, 2000. It had been inactive on this British island in the West Indies for nearly 1000 years. Suddenly, on August 21, it released steam and a cloud of ash over 7,000 feet into the air. The nearby capital city, Plymouth, was covered with darkness for half an hour from the cloud.More than 300 active volcanoes are located around the Pacific Ocean alone, from Chile to Alaska, to Japan, and to New Zealand. Volcanoes are continuing to form islands such as Hawaiian Islands, the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific, and islands in the Caribbean. Eleven major active volcanoes form the Cascade Range in the northwestern United States. When these land volcanoes erupt, as Mt. St. Helens in the Cascades did in 1980, it is the result of the plates (板块) of the earth slipping and sliding(滑行). As they move, these huge plates create pre ssure far below the earth’s surface.Deep inside the earth, hot molten(溶化的) rock mixes with gas to create magma(岩浆). Magma collects in chambers, which are spaces between rocks inside the earth. Gradually, the magma begins to rise as it is pressed by the rocks. It rises through an opening, or shaft, in the weakened rock above. As the magma gets near the surface, gas is released and sends magma, dust, and rock out of the crater, or top of the volcano. This stream of volcanic matter is the actual eruption.Most volcanoes erupt straight up through the top. Mt. Vesuvius, the volcano in Italy that destroyed the city of Pompeii in A.D. 79, erupted this way. However, some volcanoes, such as Mt. St. Helens, erupt laterally(横向地) or through side vents(通风孔). Lateral eruptions are very destructive because large areas of mountain are blown away. Either way, underground water springs out sharply and creates raging streams. Magma reaches the surface and is now calledlava. Waves of it flow down the slopes (斜坡), burying the surrounding valleys.It takes millions of years for volcanoes to form. It takes hundreds more for them to build up to an eruption. Yet, in a matter of seconds, a volcano can blow apart in an angry roar of incredible destruction(破坏力).68. Which of the term(术语)explanation about the volcano is correct?A. Magma is the space between the rock where molten rock and gas mixture collects.B. Crater is the opening on the side of a V olcano.C. The opening at the top is called a shaft.D. Lava is the superheated mixture of gas and melted rock that flows down the slopes.69. When Mt. St. Helens erupts, ____.A. it erupts straight up through the craterB. it will take another million years to erupt againC. it is the result of the plates slipping and slidingD. It will form a new island70. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph about Mt. Vesuvius?A. It was very destructive in eruption.B. It erupts through side vents.C. It has been silent since 79 A.D. D. Its eruption is a typical lateral one.71. According to the passage, volcanoes erupt when____.A. the Earth creates too much magmaB. they are activated by an outside force.C. the huge plates create pressure far below the earth’s surfac eD. Magma in the chambers rises through shafts in the weakened rocksKey: 68-71DCAD(B)The church seems cold this morning, even after all the people, friends and family fill the benches. I sit here in silence, in shock and denial. This was not supposed to happen. What about our dreams, or our plans? We were going to raise our children, travel around the world, and grow old together. I’m only 37, a typical housewife. I don’t know if I can do all this alone—two children, no father. What do I do or say?The faces of so many people confuse me as they come to pay their last respects. Some have real sorrow; I can see it in their eyes. The others seem to just say. “I told you so.” Those famous last words: I—told—you—so. How I can’t stand them. And the pointing fingers as so-called family and so-called friends pick me out of the crowd for others to see. I want to scream and wake up but I can’t do anything but sit there. How can they be so blind? I fell in love with a man. Love knows no boundaries.He was a good man, hardworking, caring and kind. He was retired from the Navy and a gentleman. He was sensitive to others’ needs, the kind of man that knew what to do or say, how to humor any situation and calm everyone’s fears. I remember our first child was a big surp rise to both of us. I remember when I told him the news. He fell off his chair, saying over and over in disbelief. “But I’m almost sixty.” After a few months he started planning our next and even doing his famous little dance whenever he discussed the idea.A man, thirty years older than I, lies in a coffin. Flowers, the American flag and his VFW comrades surround him, paying tribute(颂词) to him as the man he really was. And I sit alone here, with our two children, in silence, praying that his cold morning at church is only a nightmare(梦魇) and I will awake to his loving arms again.Our son, our first born, his joy and pride, sits to the right of me, seeming just as confused as me. I look over at him. How he looks like his father—blonde hair, tall and skinny—even his Irish temperament(气质) and that naughty look in his eyes. He’s wearing his father’s watch. It’s too big for him but he refus ed to take it off. I know he’ll keep it safe. Our second, the little angel and Daddy’s little girl, lies in her stroller(婴儿车) in the aisle, sound asleep. She’ll never remember the man she called “Da”.63. The man passed away, leaving his dearest woman to bring up their two children, the elder of whom is a boy of about _________.A. 1B.3C.7D.964. The last paragraph, which is italicized(斜体的), does not lie where it originally was. It’sbetter for it to go back _________.A. between Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2B. between Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3C. between Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4D. to the very front65. We can infer from the passage that ___________.A. the woman’s family were against her marriage to the manB. none of the people there showed real sympathy to the womanC. the woman did something wrongD. the family had lived a happy life before the man died66. In paragraph 3, the underlined word “our next” means _________.A. our next danceB. our next newsC. what for us to do nextD. our next babyKey: CCDD(C)You are enrolled in a full –time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have overlooked, however, is that there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that othersdon’t have to face, while other spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn; whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.The challenge here, therefore, is to align (与……保持一致) yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be face with in your lifetim e, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others’. But, remember, don’t compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality – the assumption that all things are equal and justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out of the complai ning phase of “it’s not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feelings of bitterness and anger.71.Life is called a full – time school, because .A.it is full of all lessons to learnB.you have plenty of time to learn lessonsC.you meet with specific lessons every dayD.there are so many subjects for you to choose72.According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?A.Having the same opinions as others.B.Taking the distinct path from others.C.Learning the lessons presented to you.D.Doing the different things from others.73.From the passage we can conclude .A.everyone has his own track to followB.the same things usually happen to the peersC.a painful divorce must lie in financial problemsD.a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage74.In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with .A.are beyond your power B.keep you from growthC.limit your development D.help you with your success75.Which of the following is TRUE?A.All things are equal and justice will always prevail.B.You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.C.One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.D.You have to complain “it’s not fair” whenever possible.Key: 71—75 CCADB(D)Let’s step back in time. As a child whose family lives along the Nile thousands of yea rs ago, your name would be made up of several words. Each morning you would wake up to the sun-not an alarm clock-and start the day with prayer to the main god of your town. You would wear good luck charms to make things go well and make the gods happy.After a big breakfast, which has to last you until the evening meal, you would go to work with your parents. Boys would go with their fathers and girls with their mothers, learning the jobs their parents did and helping them with their work. Only scribes and doctors went to school. When payday comes, your parents receive baskets full of food and clothing from the people they work for. Your family doesn’t miss having money, because there is no such thing.Boys learn the songs the men sing to make their work enjoyable. Girls and women are often musicians and gymnasts, celebrating life through music and dance.When harvest time comes, everyone helps in the field. Girls toss grain and corn high in to the wind to clean it. Boys bundle crops and put them inside baskets. There is lots of work to do in old Egypt, but also time for play. On the way back from the fields you might stop for a swim in the Nile River or one of the canals.If you were sick you would be taken to a priest in the temple called The House of Life. The priest would feel your head and then his own, so he could compare the temperatures. If you were sick, he would stand over you and chant a magical spell, speaking directly to your illness. Then he might give you healing plants or potions to eat which often smelled or tasted very bad. Ancient Egyptian doctors figured that awful medicine might make the illness want to leave the child’s body. Some herbs and plants that these ancient doctors used are still used today—like drinking chamomile tea for an upset stomach.Your family pet might be a little monkey that followed you around all day, a protective goose, a cat, or a dog. Pet owners would often have their pets mummified at death.Common toys in ancient Egypt were: balls made of linen rags wrapped around each other, tied with string, and painted; games like checkers; dolls made of cloth and clay; and little animal pull toys made of wood.69. What are Not the common toys in ancient Egypt?A. toy monkeysB. balls made of linen ragsC. dolls made of cloth and clayD. games like checkers70. Each morning you wake up, you would see ______ .A. an alarm clockB. the sunC. the NileD. the main god71. Which of the following is Not mentioned?A. doctorsB. priestsC. musiciansD. astronauts72. Put the following statements in the right order, according to passage.a. People start the day with prayer.b. People go to work.c. People see the sun.d. People wear good luck charms.e. People have a big breakfastf. People wake up.A. a-b-c-d-e-fB. a-d-e-f-cC. f-c-a-d-e-bD. f-e-c-d-a-b Key: 69-72 ABDC(E)A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable(生物所能分解的)mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.Engineers have designed a small transparent(透明的)window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds intothe covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief(缓解)for nature , according to the scientists.“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.77. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.B. To persuade the reader to buy the biodegradable cell phone.C. To discuss the development of phone technology.D. To introduce an environmental-friendly cell phone to readers.78. People throw away their cell phones most probably because .A. there is something wrong with themB. no sunflowers can grow out of themC. they are out of fashionD. they are becoming cheaper and cheaper79. It could be learned from the passage that .A. developing the new type of phone is mainly to protect the environmentB. phone-makers will benefit much more from the new type of phoneC. the new type of phone will certainly be popular with users all over the worldD. the phones that can be recycled are available only in Britain now80. What might be the most suitable title for this passage?A. Sunflower and Phone.B. Plant Your Phone.C. Protect Our Environment.D. No Worry about Phone.Key: DCAB任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

On the fourth night, I sat beside him and asked him to tell me what he felt about 42 .It had been years since I laid my hand on my father‘s shoulder as we have drifted (疏远) further and further apart while I was 43 . That night though, I sensed my father trying to 44 his pain and I wanted him to be able to let it out. We had all cried over what happened except him.The simple 45 and my words, ―Dad, it‘s not your fault. broke my father‘s 46 . In the darkness, he began to cry. I 47 his shoulders shaking as he whispered, ―48 did I go wrong? All I ever wanted was for my children to grow up 49 .

Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that.The gallery, at Sunderland University, England, is holding a new exhibition, If There Ever Was. It focuses on scent rather than sight.The innovative (创新的) idea is the brainchild of curator (馆长) Robert Blackson. His inspiration came from reading the book Fast Food Nation. The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as milkshakes, making them smell and taste like strawberries, when they're not actually made from them.A smell can often conjure up (召唤) memories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea, but the smells on display, will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won't have been able to pick out before."There's a whole variety of different smells, including some extinct (灭绝) flowers," explains Blackson. "Some have been gone for hundreds of years."One extraordinary fragrance is the aftermath (灾难的后果) of the first atomic bomb, dropped on Japan on August 6, 1945.There is also the smell of Cleopatra's hair, based on incense (熏香) that was popular among ancient Egyptians.The Soviet Mir space station, which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001, smells of charred (烧焦的) material (the space station caught fire).Among the stranger smells is the "surface of the sun"."It is hard to sum up. It is an atmospheric smell, like walking into a room when the sun has been pouring in," says Blackson. "It gives a freshness, a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal. If you can say something smells hot, this is it."A team of 11, including perfume (香水) designers, have been working on recreating the smells for the exhibition. James Wong, a botanist at Botanic Gardens Conservation International, UK, helped in the recreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants.He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones. With the help of historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled, he was able to remix the aromas (芳香).The exhibition runs until June 6. Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display.92. What might be the best title of the passage?A. The Reg Vardy GalleryB. Egyptian queen Cleopatra's hairC. A visit to a new exhibitionD. The scents of ancient Egypt93. Visitors can enjoy all of the following scents at the Reg Vardy Gallery EXCEPT ______.A. the scent of ancient Egyptian king Cleopatra's hairB. the smells of charred material of the Soviet Mir space stationC. the scent of having a childhood vacation by the seaD. the smell of the aftermath of the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan .94. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Visitors go to Reg Vardy Gallery to enjoy beautiful sights.B. James Wong managed to remix the aromas by referring to some historical reports.C. The exhibition will last until July 6.D. The scents visitors will smell are found in the tomb of the ancient Egyptian queenCleopatra.95. In which session are you likely to read the passage in a newspaper?A. ScienceB. EducationC. EntertainmentD. EconomyKey: 92—95 CCBA(B)One might compare the Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s to an empire, and the great film producers to its rulers. We could like the studios and their chiefs to the Mogul Empire which lasted from the early 16th to the mid-19th century in India. The ruler, the Great Mogul, exercised tremendous power and lived in a great place of impressive beauty. The second mogul empire, ruled by the moguls of Hollywood, did not survive long, but the power exercised by the great studio heads could be almost as great as that of the Great Mogul. They enjoyed almost as much wealth, and their fame was certainly more widespread. The Great Mogul could boast of having thousands of slaves, but he could not claim to control the likes of the "golden slaves" of the Hollywood moguls: the film stars. And even though these "golden slaves" were not numbered in thousands, the public's impression was that studios like MGM had "more stars than there are in heaven".What kinds of lives did those stars of yesterday live? On the surface, they were lives of extraordinary glamour and excitement, but in fact the moguls controlled them to a large extent. The aim of each studio was to make rather ordinary men and women into America's screen idols. To do this, the studio chiefs told the stars that they must not smoke or drink, decided which other stars they should go out with, said that they ought to buy a large house and enormous car, and tried to ensure that in every way, they became what the moguls believed the public wanted.How could the film moguls tell such stars as Clark Gable and Elizabeth Taylor what they must or must not do, how they should or should not behave? Why did the stars allow it? There were two reasons. Firstly, these stars were "the best-paid slaves in history". They were looked after and protected in every way. Secondly, they had signed seven-year contracts. These contracts gave the moguls absolute power over them. The moguls could insist that a star must act in a particular film. If the star refused, he or she could be suspended without pay, and the time he or she did not work was added to the seven-year contract.The film stars were, in a very real way, the "property" of the studios. The Great Mogul maintained control over his people for the sake of his own power and glory. The film chiefs exercised control for the sake of profit. They bought acting talent -- or a pretty face and they sold dreams. It may sound inhuman, this trading in people's lives, but it gives a new meaning to the words of the song: "There's no business like show business". It was a great show in Hollywood, while it lasted, but business is what it was really about.41. The writer compares the Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s to the Mogul Empirebecause the head of each _______.A. enjoyed almost as much power as the other one in the whole worldB. enjoyed almost as much power, wealth and even fame as the other oneC. had as many slaves as the other oneD. was loved and respected by its members42. It can be inferred from the passage that Hollywood stars in the 1930s and 1940s _______.A. lived an extraordinarily excited and carefree lifeB. didn't live as fascinating a life as the public believedC. were the idols of every AmericanD. made sure they lived an independent life.43. The speaker gave the example of Clark Gable and Elizabeth Taylor to illustrate _______.A. Hollywood stars were very well paidB. Hollywood stars were given attention by their producersC. Hollywood stars had no insurance of incomeD. How the Hollywood controlling system could have worked as it did44. Why were the film stars the "property" of the studios?A. Because they were controlled to earn money, power, fame for the studio.B. Because they were bought and sold as slaves.C. Because they made Hollywood famous.D. Because they were interested in doing business in Hollywood.45. This passage mainly discusses ________.A. film production in Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940sB. the similarities between the Mogul Empire and HollywoodC. the true life of Hollywood stars in the 1930s and 1940sD. why Hollywood could enjoy the fame as it didKey: 41– 45 BBDAC(C)In the story of the three little pigs, the one who built his house of straw did not do well; the big bad wolf blew it down. But builder Michael Furbish, who made his own home from bales (捆) of straw, and an elementary school from the same material, says that in reality straw houses are not only strong, but also good for the environment. Straw—the stalks (杆,茎) of plants like wheat, oats, and barley—is considered a waste material and is commonly used on farms as animal bedding. But more and more people are discovering that straw baled into rectangular blocks is an excellent and inexpensive building material.There are two ways to make a straw-bale structure. You can build load-bearing walls with them, which means the walls support the roof. Or you can build a post-and-beam wooden frame that supports the roof and fill in the walls with the bales. Either way, the walls are there to stay. And they provide great insulation(绝缘), helping keep straw houses in cold climates warm in winter and those built in hot places like the desert cool in summer. Straw is considered a "green" building material because it is a renewable resource: a whole new crop can be grown and harvested every year, easily "renewing" the supply. Also, planting and harvesting straw uses relatively little energy. "Most other building materials require a lot of energy to be produced,"explains Furbish. "With straw-bale construction, you are getting a building product without using much energy at all."Furbish used about 900 straw bales in his family's two-story, three-bedroom house. His company also provided straw-bale walls for the Friends Community School of College Park in Maryland. That project used about 4,000 bales. When asked if there are any problems with living in a straw house, like mice nibbling (咬,啃) on the walls, Furbish points out that the straw is completely covered with plaster and stucco (灰泥). Besides, he has a couple of cats on mouse watch, just in case. "It would be hard to find a wall system that will wear better than straw," he says. The big bad wolf is just out of luck.51. The author wrote the passage in order to ________.A. prove that the tale of the three pigs and the wolf is wrongB. teach readers how to build straw housesC. introduce an environmentally-friendly building materialD. advertise Furbish‘s special houses52. What do we learn about straw houses from the passage?A. It costs little to make such special houses.B. The outsides of the houses are green.C. They are mostly built in the desert.D. Plaster and stucco help make the houses strong.53. The writer mentions the wolf at the beginning and the end of this passage to suggest ________.A. straw houses are in fact nice and strongB. the big bad wolf can never blow the straw houses downC. the big bad wolf is very unluckyD. people in straw houses needn‘t worry about wolves54. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Straw is a waste of material as animal bedding.B. Furbish built his home and an elementary school with only bales of straw.C. Building straw houses requires no energy at all.D. The roof of a straw house can be supported by a wooden frame.55. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. living in a straw house, one has to keep several catsB. the walls of a straw house help keep heat inside in cold climatesC. it is best to build a straw house at harvest timeD. we need 900 straw bales to build one straw houseKey: 51—55 C D A D B(D)Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008. You're going to have a great time in Beijing.Many people are fascinated by China‘s Sport legends(传奇)in history. For example, back to Song Dynasty, which was the 11th century, people in our country started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. The game was so popular that women were also participating. So now, you probably will understand why our women football team does so well today.…With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-----Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message "Share the Peace, Share the Olympics," the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt. Everest. In China, the torch will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.I am afraid I can not give the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Before I end, let me share with you one story. Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a faraway land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true. And Marco answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to all of you to athletes, spectators(观众) and the worldwide television audience alike. Come and join us.Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you all.72. In Yanglan‘s speech, she mentioned a game cal led Cuju, she implied that _____.A.China is the original country of football.B.China is a country with a long histry in sports.C.People in China used to play football well.D.Women in China are good at football.73. Mt. Everest refers to _____.A. a person who is known to many people in the worldB. HimalayasC. Mount QomolangmaD. the Olympic Torch74. Which of the following is not the promise that China will keep to the world?A. Whoever takes part in the Beijing Olympic Games will have a great time in Beijing.B. The flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.C. The Olynpic Torch will reach the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma.D. Marco Polo‘s stories will await athletes, spectators and the worldwid e television audience.75. Marco Polo ‗s answer meant that ______A. what he wrote was half better than what he saw.B. he was interested in half of what he had seen.C. he was not able to describe the beauty of the faraway land.D. there were so many true stories that he could only tell part of them.—Excerpted from Yang L an’s speech in Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympic Games Key: 72----75 BCDD。

他的写作技巧怎样,他的作品有什么特点,他为什么会这样?文章会告诉你。

题号答案考查内容解题依据解题分析1A 词义比较前后照应Tracy Wong是一位著名的美籍华人作家。

其写作技能(skill)是自学的。

后文大部分谈到了她的技能与技巧。

skill技能,技巧;experience经验, 体验, 经历, 阅历;practice实践,实习;method方法。

2C 前后照应词义比较从后文作同位语的teaching disabled children和对立项a part-time writer forIBM,这里指的不是义务(duty),努力(effort),任务(task),而是工作、职业(job)。

3D 词义比较逻辑推理指Tracy Wong所处的时期(then)。

instead代替,表示对立意义;normally正常地, 通常地;certainly的确,表示对情况或事情的肯定。

4C 前后照应词义比较当时,写作是个人的兴趣爱好。

后句sent three of her stories to a publisher有所暗示。

A. general普通的,一般的;deep深奥的, 难懂的;personal私人的,个人的;lively活泼的, 活跃的。

5A 词义比较句法功能词汇用法出版商对她的作品感兴趣(interested),随即向她提出建议。

Interested=As theywere interested;Encouraged的逻辑主语应是Tracy,而不是出版商;anxiously(忧虑地, 不安地)和seriously(认真地, 真诚地)通常不作句子性副词用,故不能出现在这个位置上。

6B 前后照应词义比较出版商加以她把三个故事合起来成为一篇长故事(story)。

film,program和article没有存在的前提。

7D 逻辑推理词义比较对于Tracy这样一个尚不受大众欢迎的(popular),普通的(unusual),外国的(foreign),没有名气的(unknown)小作家,这是不小的一笔钱。

8B 语句连贯前后照应虽然她的故事人物令人感兴趣,但……。

注意前后句之间的转折关系。

now that既然,表示原因关系;;even though即使,即便,表示转折关系;just because就是因为,表示因果关系;except that 除了……之外, 只可惜,表示排除意义。

9C词义辨析她的那些关于超自然故事有时让/使(leave)读者感到不自在,心神不安。

find发现,找到;turn转动,变成;leave使某人处于某种状态,置某人于某种状态;hold把握,保持。

10B 前后照应逻辑推理作者的母亲认为作者能够沟通来世阴间。

后句“She used to have me speak withmy grandmother, who died many ye ars ago.”有所暗示。

make up弥补, 虚构, 缝制, 整理;connect with连接, 联络;control控制;explain 解释, 说明。

11D 逻辑推理语法规则但是作者也确实有这样的感觉(feelings),机会(chances),事件(events),或时刻(moments)。

因为紧接在后面的when引导的表示时间的定语从句,修饰前面的moments,故选D。

12A 词义比较前后照应有时某些事情无缘无故(for no reason)地,而非碰巧(by accident),从远处(froma distance),作为礼物式(as gifts)地发生在作者身上。

由后文中的Once, she waswondering how to…有所暗示。

13C 逻辑推理,前后照应,词义比较作者一直在纳闷如何完成一个以古代中国为背景的布景\场景(scene)的故事,而非描写(description),指示(pointing)或谈话(talk)。

14B 词义比较逻辑推理突然(suddenly),门铃响了。

surprisingly令人惊讶地;suddenly突然地,表示突发性行为;expectedly不出预料地;fortunately 幸运地。

15B 逻辑推理气候照应邮递员手里拿着有关中国历史(history),而非烹调(cooking),医学(medicine),戏剧(play)方面的书。

前面ancient China有所提示。

16D 逻辑推理常识运用词义比较书来得很是蹊跷,作者先前知道(know)、意识到会(realize)有这样的书,但没有送(send)出去过,更没有预定过(order)。

按常识道理,没有预定,邮递员不会送东西到家来,更何况是自己想弄的东西。

17A 逻辑推理,词义比较,前后照应虽然作者已经出版了45本书,可仍然没有由于名誉而有丝毫改变(unchanged)。

由后文although in a more comfortable home 说明unmoved不妥。
