It is reported that the Ebola virus has returned to
Africa. The virus causes a disease called Ebola hemorrhagic (出血的) fever. The Ebola virus affects animals and people. It killed more than 200 people in the former Zaire in 1995. This year, the Ebola virus has killed more than 150 people in Uganda. The Ebola virus kills so quickly that the body’s defense system has no time to act against it. The disease kills fifty to ninety percent of the people it infects (感染). The disease begins with high body temperature, severe headache and muscle hurting. Then it causes severe bleeding and organ failure. Then the victim dies. Doctors say a person with the Ebola virus usually dies within three weeks after becoming infected. The disease spreads by people touching the body fluids of an infected person.
No medicine or treatment now exists for the disease. Recently, however, American researchers announced progress in developing a medicine to prevent Ebola hemorrhagic fever in monkeys. The scientists gave eight monkeys a small but deadly amount of the Ebola virus. They gave an experimental vaccine (疫苗) to only four of them. The monkeys that did not receive the vaccine died within a week. The vaccine prevented the disease from developing in the four monkeys that received it. All the four monkeys were healthy six months later.
The researchers said this was the first time a vaccine had protected animals similar to humans from the deadly Ebola virus. They will continue to test the vaccine on animals by giving them increasingly strong amounts of the virus.
56. The first symptom of Ebola hemorrhagic fever is ______.
A. high body temperature
B. serious bleeding
C. severe body hurting
D. organ failure
57. The Ebola virus can cause death quickly mainly because _________.
A. it causes a great deal of suffering
B. it causes people to lose much blood
C. the body’s defense system hasn’t time to act against it
D. it can easily produce viruses in people’s bodies
58. From the passage we can learn that _________.
A. the Ebola virus was originally found in Africa
B. progress in finding a vaccine to prevent the Ebola virus has been made
C. monkeys can be infected by the Ebola virus through air
D. people infected with the Ebola virus always die immediately after being infected
59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Monkeys are similar to humans in how a vaccine affects them.

C. Half of all moneys injected with the vaccine died six months later.

It’s hard to find a star shining brighter in Nashville than Kenny Chesney. Since he took off 15 years ago, this country musician has sold more than 25 million albums, has had sixteen No. 1 hits, won countless awards and had a sea of loyal fans who have made him the biggest North American concert-ticket seller.
Kenny is certainly at the height of his career as he releases his Greatest Hits II album this week. It’s a collection of songs in which he says each takes him to a different place or event in his life. The most personal is the song I’m Alive, Kenny tells The Boot. "Most of the songs on this record are really fun, but I wrote I’m Alive after my breakup with Renee. I woke up one day and realized, even though I had gone through this and didn’t feel good about it, my life
still belongs to me. I’m alive; I get to make music; I’ve got a lot of great friends. That’s the message of the song."
Kenny insists that the song selection for Greatest Hits II is not formulaic(刻板的). In addition to the hits that climbed the country charts, the singer also wanted to include some songs unknown to his fans that reflected his life and career path. "I didn’t want it to be all hits; I wanted it to be a second chapter of my life in music," he explains. "So the song Beas You Are really does that for me."
Kenny recently celebrated his 41st birthday, but the number of candles on the cake didn’t depress him a bit, thanks to what he loves so deeply.
"I still feel like I’m 18,"he says. "Living life the way you do on the road, it definitely keeps you feeling that way. And I think people that have music in their life are a lot better off (富有) and healthier than people that don’t. I’ve been very content to have not just a little bit of music in my life, but a whole lot of music. It drives my life."
60. Kenny Chesney refers to one of his songs I’m Alive for the purpose of _________.
A. telling his fans about his breakup with his girlfriend
B. inspiring his fans with confidence in life
C. calling on people to make music like him
D. advertising his new album to increase sales
61. We can learn from the passage that Kenny Chesney ______.
A. is a star not only in Nashville, but also around the world
B. won few awards for his work in country music
C. was at his most successful when Greatest Hits II was released
D. selected nothing but big hits for Greatest Hits II
62. What is the relationship between music and life, according to Kenny Chesney
A. Music is a way of earning a lot of money.
B. Music always makes people feel they are 18.
C. Music gives life power, besides wealth and health.
D. Music is the most important part of everyone’s life.
C
Experts have confirmed youngsters who use Face book(美国一社交网站) do worse in exams.
For the study, the researchers quizzed 219 college students about their study habits and the time they spent on Face book. They found that 65 percent of Face book users used
the net daily, often checking it several times to see if they had received new messages. The study said that 68 percent of students who used Face book didn’t perform as well as those who did not use the site.
Surfing on Face book can swallow up(耗尽) hours of study time. University student Daisy Jones, 21, said: "I was in the library trying to write a 2,000-word essay when I noticed my Face book habit had gotten out of hand. I couldn’t resist going online. You do that, then someone’s photo catches your eyes. Before you know it, a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a thing."
While they focused on Face book, the findings are also thought to hold true for other social networking sites.
A research by the National Literacy Trust recently showed that one in five youngsters aged seven to 15 never read books outside school because websites and blogs are becoming their reading matter of choice. Pupils ranked social networking sites, blogs, general websites and magazines above books in a survey of their reading habits. Research has also shown that youngsters are spending up to six hours a day in front of a screen.
However, students appeared to ignore the effect
of going online on their study performance. The majority did
not feel it had an impact on their work.
A spokesman for Face book said: "There is also research that shows the benefits of services like Face book.
It’s in the hands of students, with the help of their parents,
to decide how they spend their time."
63. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. study shows pupils who spend time on Face book do worse in exams.
B. People who spend more time on Face book spend less time reading.
C. Websites and blogs are becoming studen t’s reading matter of choice.
D. The usage of Face book among younger children is high
and growing.
64. The third paragraph is developed by ________ in structure.
A. example
B. argument
C. description
D. analysis
65. What’s most students’ att itude towards the result of the study
A. Contrary.
B. Supportive.
C. Understandable.
D. Uninterested.
66. According to Facebook’s spokesman, which of the following is TRUE
A. Face book doesn’t accept the result of the study.
B. The result of the study is good for students.
C. Students are to blame for their poor performance in study.
D. It’s parents who decide whether students should be allowed to use Face book.
D
Guinness World Records, known until 2000 as The Guinness Book of Records(and in previous . editions as The Guinness Book of World Records), is a reference book published annually, and contains an internationally recognized collection of world records —both human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. The book itself holds a world record, as the best-selling copyrighted series of all time.
However, several world records that were once included in the book have been removed for ethical (伦理的) reasons. By publishing world records in categories(种类), the book encourages people to try to beat that record, and pays no attention to health and safety. For example, following the
publication of a "heaviest cat" record, many cat owners fed their pets beyond the bounds of what was healthy; this is an example of the entries that have been removed. In 1991, the book also dropped records within the "eating and drinking records" category of its Human Achievements section, over concerns that potential competitors would harm themselves, and expose the publisher to litigation(起诉). These changes included the removal of all liquor, wine and beer-drinking records, along with records for eating such unlikely things as bicycles and trees. Other records, such as sword swallowing and rally driving (on public roads), were closed to further entries because the current record holders had performed beyond what were considered acceptable levels of human tolerance.
There have been examples of closed records being reopened, however. For example, the sword-swallowing record was listed as closed in the 1990 Guinness Book of World Records, but the Guinness World Records Primetime TV show, which started in 1998, accepted three sword swallowing challenges (as did the 2007 edition of the Guinness World Records).
Chain letters are also forbidden. According to the book’s publisher: "Guinness World Records does not accept any records relating to chain letters, sent by post or e-mail. If
you receive a letter or an e-mail, which may promise to publish the names of all those who send it, please destroy or delete it; it is a trick."
67. This passage is mainly about _______.
A. how many kinds of records Guinness World Records has
B. ethical issues and safety concerns related to Guinness World Records
C. the history of Guinness World Records
D. Guinness World Records in overview
68. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph
A. To put forward the main idea of the passage.
B. To tell the readers that the name of the book has changed.
C. To indicate that Guinness World Records is a famous book.
D. To encourage people to read Guinness World Records.
69. Guinness World Records has decided to remove some records because the following BUT
____.
A. the records are too difficult to break
B. the records are considered to involve immoral actions
C. some aspects of trying to break them are dangerous
D. some items are considered beyond acceptable levels of human tolerance
70. From this passage we can infer that ______.
A. sword swallowing will forever be closed to further entry
B. the item about the fattest dog can be found in the present book
C. the editors of Guinness World Records don’t want readers to write to them
D. the record related to rally driving can still be found in the book
第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的
空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

Good communication is vital in modern society. We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communication. The personal qualities include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice,
gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others.
What should we do so that our communication will be effective Here are my suggestions.
Firstly, you should be yourself.The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change char acter from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a conversation with their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.
Secondly, whether you’re talk ing to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eye contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced. You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You can’t learn anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, don’t immed iately start throwing your opinions. Stop for a second. Absorb what’s going on. What’s the mood of the others—are they down, up, happy, expectant Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show
resistance If you can sense what’s happening with others, yo u will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk. The fourth suggestion is that you focus your energy. How do you get your energy up Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting—yours and the other’s. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved with your audience and your message. You create an air of certainty. The audience may disagree with you, but they can’t question your belief.
Lastly, I would like to remind you that you should lighten up. Take a good hard look at your self. Do you say “I” too ofte n Are you only concentrated on your own problems Do you complain frequently If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you need to be more relaxed.

书面表达(One possible version):
China has become a shock to the world. Chinese players have got the most gold medals in the 29th Olympic Games, so the Chinese government will offer each gold medal winner a bonus, local awards not included.
Some say the players have won honor for our country after taking great pains, so they deserve it. What’s more, it wi ll benefit the training of future players. Others believe the
players get well trained and paid by the country so they should win honor for our motherland. Besides, some players may quit after getting much money.
In my opinion, gold medal winner should be rewarded, but not too much. I only show respect for the sportsmen who worship the spirit of the Olympic Games.
