NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose; told him the plans and the 44 they might get in. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut. "How could any man 45 such an exciting job?" One of them said, "Dangerous? Of course, it's dangerous, 46 most exciting!" The health and physical condition of 47 was, of course, very necessary. 48 those in very good health and physical condition were chosen.While being trained to be astronauts, they went throughmany 49 . They studied the stars and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This wasnecessary 50 astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon.

She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm (热情). Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the company to give him a high-speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.Rachel was there, thanks to a new technology called Face-mail. Face-mail lets you send e-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown. The software(软件), which is free, can be downloaded at .Face-mail faces are lifelike, and they simulate (模拟) emotions based on emotions that you put in your text. For example, type in : -X, and Rachel blows a kiss.LifeFX, the company that develops the Face-mail, is sure there is broad business uses. The reason why e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirlpool about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can't be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.Face-mail could get hot fast.Personally, I'm a fan. But Face-mail should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you've got Psycho-mail (疯人型电子邮件).61. The pretty woman that appears on the writer's computer screen was ________ .A. the picture of his pen friendB. not a real personC. his brother's girlfriendD. a woman working on the Internet62. The main advantage of Face-mail is that ________ .A. you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to youB. you can see the person who sends you the e-mailC. you can put your own emotions in the e-mail as you likeD. e-mail can be read in a more lovely way63. The writer mentioned Nike website and Michael Jordan to show that ________ .A. famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Face-mailB. Face-mail can make shopping on the Internet more interestingC. Nike website will increase its sales by JordanD. Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike websiteBThe view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的) roof cottages around a church, a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white, the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings-these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles. Although thatch has always been used for cottages and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too. Thatching is a solitary (独自的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, keeping and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often unwilling to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern building. However, they may lack the money to allow them to get the necessary materials. Their temporary (暂时的) mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat.64. Which of the following remains a special feature of the English countryside?A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white roses.B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.C. Cottages with thatched roofs.D. Churches with cottages around them.65. People in developing countries also live under thatch because________ .A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attractionB. thatched roof houses are the cheapestC. thatch is an effective defence against the heatD. they like thatched houses better than other buildingsCOne day a friend asked my wife Jill if I wanted a hearing aid (助听器). "He certainly does," replied Jill. After hearing about a remarkable new product, Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if I'd ever thought about getting a hearing aid. "No way," I said. "It would make me look 20 years older.""No, no," she replied. "This is entirely different. It's Crystal Ear!"Jill was right. Crystal Ear is different-not the old-styled body worn or over-the-ear aid, but an advanced personal sound system. It's so small and it's like contacts for your ears. And Crystal Ear is super-sensitive (敏感) and powerful, too. You will hear sounds your ears have been missing for years. Crystal Ear will make speech louder, and the sound is pure and natural.I couldn't believe how tiny it is. It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it's almost invisible(看不见的) when worn. There are no wires, no behind-the-ear device. Put it in your ear and its ready-to-wear mold fits comfortably. Since it's not too loud or too light, you may even forget that you're wearing it! Use it at work or at play. And if your hearing problem is worse in certain situation, use Crystal Ear only when you need it.Hearing loss, especially before teenage years, progresses throughout one's lifetime. Although hearing loss is now the world's number-one health problem, nearly 90 percent of people suffering hearing loss choose to leave the problem untreated. For many millions, treating hearing loss in a traditional way can involve too many office visits, expensive testing and adjustments (调节) to fit your ear. Thanks to Crystal Ear, the "sound solution" is now convenient. Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss, and millions more with just a little hearing drop-off, can be greatly helped with Crystal Ear. Moreover, its excellent design is energy-efficient, so batteries can last months. Crystal Ear is now available to help these people treat their hearing loss with a small hearing amplifier (放大器).66. Why did the writer refuse to wear a hearing aid at first?A. It looked old-styled.B. He did not get the nerve to wear one.C. It was too costly.D. It would make him look like an old man.67. Which of the following about the features of Crystal Ear is NOT true according to paragraph 2?A. It is sensitive and powerful.B. It is not healthy.C. Its sound is pure and natural.D. It is small in size.68. According to paragraph 3, Crystal Ear is very convenient and________ .A. you can wear it any time you likeB. you can even clean it yourselfC. it can signal where it is in case you cannot find itD. you can even wear during summer69. What does the writer say about hearing loss?A. About 90 percent of people suffer hearing loss.B. Hearing loss is the world's most frequent health problem.C. About 10 percent of people wear hearing aids.D. It is one of the most painful diseases in the world.70. Why do many people leave their hearing problem untreated according to paragraph 4?A. They suffer only mild hearing loss.B. Crystal Ear is not yet available in many places.C. A traditional way of treating it is very troublesome.D. They don't want to look like old people.41-45 BACAD 46-50 ACBCB 51-55 CBADC 56-60 CBACD61-65 BDBCB 66-70 DBABC。

Beijing is expected to be short of 1.185 billion cubic metres of water by 2020. Beijing will shut down factories with high water consumption(消耗) and pollution including electric power manufacturing equipment. Advanced water-saving technology will be introduced to new industrial projects in the capital city.Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water and more trees will be planted. Animal breeding and other "highly efficient" agriculture with modern water-saving irrigation methods will be developed.It is said that water used in agriculture will drop to 35 percent of the city's water consumption in 2010 from 43 percent in 1998, and the figure will continue to drop to 28-30 percent in 2020. Beijing will increase the speed of renovation(修复) of its urban water supply equipment. It's reported that more than 15 percent of water is lost during distribution(分发). Water-saving equipment can save Beijing more than 537 million cubic metres by 2010.Shanghai still faces key problems connected with its water resources and environment. Since 1998, the city has invested nearly US$169 million to treat its rivers, especially Suzhou Creek. The city's rivers have become noticeably clearer since putting it into action.The government will provide a further US$24 million for the treatment of rivers and US$12 million to treat waste.This year's task is to improve the water quality at the three ports of Longhua, Yangshupu and Hongkou.Another emphasis is to raise the water system in Songjiang New Area with a project worth US$4.8 million. Efforts will be made to improve public awareness about the need to protect water resources.1. How many measures has Beijing taken to save water and protect water resources?A. Three.B. Two.C. Five.D.

From the passage, we know Shanghai will invest ________ million dollars on the treatment of river and waste.A. 169B. 36C. 40.8D. 201.7BEveryone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over $30 million and being only 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old; she is an international pop superstar with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in Los Angeles. At her young age, she can look after her family financially(经济上) all her life.This year is a big year for Britney, she is currently on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time. It's a tiring schedule(安排表) but brings great rewards. When touring, she goes to bed around l am and then has a lie-in until 1 pm or 2 pm the next day. Her philosophy(人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in "Austin Powers 3" and she filmed a teenage comedy that was released in March 2003. In this movie, she had a starring role. The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer. For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic(热心) about it all. If her movies are successful, her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love, not the money.5. We can infer from the text that most millionaires are________.A. older than 20B. around 50C. in their 30sD. in their 40s6. Tickets for her concerts are ________ .A. cheapB. expensiveC. on sale soonD. all sold7. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.C. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney's own story.D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.CGovernors, lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists, and every educated person finds his views affected by science. Yet our teaching of science in school and college has built up mistaken ideas, dislikes, and the common boast, "I never did understand science." Eventhose students who arrive at college with plans to become scientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science: some have a collection of unorganized facts about science, and some regard the study of science as a game which includes getting the right answer.The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides various kinds of information; the second, from a training course on how to pass examinations that do not ask about the student's understanding but simply require them to put the numbers in the right formulas(公式). Neither type of courses (in school or college) seems to give students an understanding of science as we find it among scientists. Neither shows students how real scientists work and think, how the facts are gathered, how discoveries are made, and what they mean. Young people need good teaching of science, not so much a great wealth of knowledge as a healthy understanding of the nature of science. They need an understanding of knowledge leading to sympathy with science and an eagerness for the way scientists work. Given these, it is easy to encourage later reading and learning.8. One of the reasons that causes mistaken ideas of science is ________.A. a mistaken picture in students'mindB. the unscientific way of teaching of scienceC. the fact that students fail to see the influence of scienceD. the fact that students have a collection of unrelated facts about science9. A good course of science is ________.A. to teach students to do things according to formulasB. to provide students with all kinds of informationC. to help students have a good understanding and form a correct attitude towards scienceD. to encourage students to have a good command of knowledge10. People such as governors, lawyers and business leaders deal with scientists mainly because ________ .A. scientists are great personsB. scientists make discoveries and apply them to help people live a more comfortable, stable and safe lifeC. they owe much to scientists'contributionsD. they can be affected by scientists when they are together1-5 BDCAD 6-10 AABDC 11-15 CABCD 16-20 DBBDB1-5 CBABA 6-10 DCBCB。

Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lostground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year.”“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been heard saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have b een ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch. (传统火鸡午餐).The results were published (发表) in the Journal of Phonetics.50. The Queen’s broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because ______.A. she has been Queen for many yearsB. she has a less upper-class accent nowC. her speeches are familiar to many peopleD. her speeches have been recorded for 50 years51. Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English?A. “duaty”B.“citee” C. “hame” D. “lorst”52. We may infer from the text that the Journal of Phonetics is a magazine on _________.A. speechsoundsB. Christmas customsC. TVbroadcastingD. personal messages53. What is the text mainly about?A.

His feelings 41 him; he fell upon his 42 , looked up to heaven and let out a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and 43 , and his children without bread, whom the timely giving, from some unknown hand, would save from dying.The student stood there deeply affected, his eyes filled with tears.“Now,” said the professor,“Are you not much better pleased than if you had played your 44 trick?” The youth replied, “Yo u have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.I feel now the 45 of those words, which I never understood before: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”26.A.hanging B.lyingC.sitting D.hiding27.A.nearly B.seeminglyC.closely D.equally28.A.looked back B.referred to C.turned to D.puzzled over29.A.fun B.amusement C.entertainment D.trick30.A.opinion B.confusionC.emotion D.enthusiasm31.A.treat B.dedicateC.amuse D.occupy32.A.healthy B.kindC.mean D.rich33.A.coin B.pennyC.dollar D.pound 34.A.pleasure B.discovery C.tiredness D.possibility35.A.and B.butC.thus D.therefore 36.A.around B.acrossC.into D.toward37.A.taking on B.looking on C.putting on D.hanging on38.A.hard B.tightC.soft D.loose 39.A.that B.itC.themselves D.himself 40.A.folded B.accelerated C .doubled D.improved41.A.mastered B.beatC.betrayed D.overcame42.A.hands B.kneesC.feet D.legs 43.A.beautiful B.mercilessC.hopeful D.helpless44.A.intended B.requiredC.wanted D.interested45.A.faith B.fact C.truth D.reliability阅读理解A 篇Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expecta certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.47.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifD. human beings make mistakes easily48. What’s th e main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Try to reach 50 points.B. Never stop trying in your life.C. Award yourself for your successD. Don’t be afraid of missing your points.49. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.A. exampesB. numbersC. experimentsD. stories50. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________.A. frightenedB. disappointedC. surprisedD. excitedB篇Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapour in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapour. The vapour rises onto the air. Water vapour is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾) above the water. Water vapour also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapour from theirleaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapour. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapour in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿) in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.51. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Water cycle.B. Water vapour.C. How rain forms.D. Water, vapour, rain.52. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.53. Whether water vapour can be seen or not depends on _______.A. how much water is evaporatedB. how good your eyes areC. in which way water is evaporatedD. climate or weather54. From the passage we get to know _______.A. there is more water vapour in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regionsB. there is more water vapour in the air in cold polar region than in the tropicsC. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapourD. the amount of water vapour in the air depends on how often it rains26-45BACDB CDABA .

Suddenly, the car went off the road, 28 several times, and came to rest upside down in a ditch(沟渠) filled with water.Luckily, both the mother and son were 29 seatbelts. The mother suffered a blow to her head and was unable to move. The boy was frightened but 30 . As water came through broken windows in the car,he 31 unbuckled (解开) himself, climbed out of the 32 window, made his way around to the driver's side, and reached insidethe 33 to free his trapped mother.

Psychologists say that if children go through a disturbing event before the age of ten, they are three times as likely to suffer psychological problems as so teenagers. After a disaster children may become easily upset, shy, aggressive, or afraid of wind, rain, noises, or darkness. They may have trouble letting go of their parents and resist going to school or daycare. Some children may even feel guilty thinking that they somehow caused the disaster through their bad behavior. Because of such common reactions, parents and others should begin as soon after the event as possible helping these children.Some suggestions include talking to the children about what happened,letting the children express their own feelings, spending extra time with them doing activities together and reassuring them that you love them and won't leave them. For some children expressing themselves through drawing pictures or writing can be useful. Do everything possible to help children get back to a normal routine; however, don't be afraid to "spoil" these children for a while after the disaster. Let them have extra privileges and more attention than usual. Encourage the children to grieve after a loss. It should be OK for them to cry. Caring families and friends can do much to heal children victims of disasters.46. This passage is mainly about_______.A. how to help traumatized children to get overB. the bad effects disasters bring to childrenC. the psychological problems children before ten are likely to sufferD. the importance of caring families47. According to the passage, a child who has just experienced a devastating disaster may become______.A. more matureB. less dependentC. willing to helpD. ready to attack48. Which is NOT advisable when dealing with the traumatized children?A. Allowing them freedom for some time.B. Asking them to hold their feelings.C. Encouraging them to show their grief.D. Talking them into taking care of others.B篇The English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes from the verb to “cop”, meaning to “take” or “capture”, and the second com es from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, the nineteenth-century politician, who was the founder of the police force as we know it today. An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler”, but this one has died out. Whatever we may call them, the general opinion about the police seems to be a good one except, of course, among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more bad nicknames which came from America, such as “fuzz” or “pig”. Visitors to England seem, nearly always, to be very impressed by the English police. It has, in fact, become a standing joke that the visitor to Britain, when asked for his views of the country, will always say, “I think your policemen are wonderful.”Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character. A music-hall song of some years ago was called, “If You Want To Know The Time, Ask A Policeman”. Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policemen. In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wondershow they ever find time to do anything else!Two things are noticeable to the stranger, when he sees an English policeman for the first time. The first is that he does not carry a gun and the second is that he wears a very special type of helmet(头盔). His helmet, together with his height, enables an English policeman to be seen from a long distance, a fact that is not without its usefulness. From time to time it is suggested that the policeman should be given a gun and that his helmet should be taken from him, but both these suggestions are not accepted by the majority of the public and the police themselves. 49.The nickname that is not used now is ___________.A.pig B.peelerC.fuzzD.bobby50.Which of the following statements is true?A.There are fewer criminals in America than in Britain.B.The English police usually leave a deep impression on visitors.C.The British bobby is friendly but not helpful.D.The English police enjoy having guns.51.If you see an English policeman for the first time, you will probably notice at once that ___________.A.he often tells people timeB.he is usually trying to tell others the timeC.he has a helmet on hisheadD.he wears special clothes52.In London, what do the policemen often do during their work-time nowadays?A.Direct anyone in thecity B.Tell others the timeC.NothingD.Show visitors the right way in the city53.Visitors praise the English police because ___________.A.they are armed with modern equipmentB.they wear special helmetsC.they are often given thanks by peopleD.they are polite and helpful26—45 DBACD ABCDB ACDBA CDABC46-53 ADB BBCDD。

1Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well known_pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”He points out that differences among households (家庭) exist.But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children. ”Stafford said.Overall,times are changing in the American home. In 1976,women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping and dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours,while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most—about 21 hours a week.Men showed a somewhat different pattern ,with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work,clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’ 10 hours.【文章大意概括】过去,关于女的来说,结婚意味着每周多做7个小时的家务;关于男人来说,结婚意味着每周少做1小时的家务。

They were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass(the special fish).The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm –two hours before the bass season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake.No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics (伦理道德)are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.46. What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?A. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.B. The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.C. The father lit a match in order to check the time.D. They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.47. From the text we know that the father _____.A. disliked the huge fishB. was firm and stubbornC. didn’t love hisson D. always disagreed with his son48. The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _____.A. they might catch a big fish thereB. he was taught a moral lesson thereC. it was a most popular fishing spotD. their children enjoyed fishing there49. What does the story imply?A. An ethical decision is always easy to make.B. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.C. It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimesD. Fishing can help one to make right decisionsBBe careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are asgood as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had workedout the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dogs. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!50. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar ‘learning abilities’ as 3-year-old children51. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them52. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.53. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog.B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.26-30 BDABC 3 1-35 CADAB 36-40 CBDDC 41-45 AADCB 46-50 CBBB 51-55 CBBC。

My first job was to drive the oxen(牛) that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golferscould find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field —except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.46. The word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.A. difficultB.boring C.interesting D. unusual47. The writer learned that_______ from his first job.A. he should work for those who he liked mostB. he should work longer than what he was expectedC. he should never fail to say hello to his ownerD. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for48 _______ gave the writer self-esteem.A. Having a family of eight peopleB. Owning his own golf courseC. Bringing money back home to help the familyD. Helping his father with the work on the plantation49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. He wanted to be a successful golfer.B. He wanted to run a golf course near his house.C. He was satisfied with the job he got on a plantation.D. He wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick.B篇Mexico City is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. From the moment your plane starts to land in this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.Once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. The volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.The "Paseo de la Reforma (大道)", running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in Mexico City with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. The only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.One of the most popular attractions in this area is the National Museum of Anthropology along the northwest part of the street. There are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many Aztec sites in the area. Walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the Mexico City Zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.Across the street from the museum is the Chapultepec Castle, once an important site in the Mexican-American war. It's also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep (陡峭的). It's important to keep in mind that Mexico City is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.You can take a taxi to the Coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. It's a great place to get some cheap souvenirs (纪念品)to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional Mexican cuisine. However, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.50. The tourists in Mexico City may not be satisfied with______.A. the high speed of the trafficB. the heavy traffic of the cityC. the polluted air in the cityD. their safety in the city51. Which of the following shows the correct positions of the following places?P = Paseo de la Reforma M = the National Museum of AnthropologyC = the Chapultepec Castle Z = the Mexico City Zoo52.

The story said that when a baby was born, a new master was born. Theparents of that baby would become the servants. The question is: Why? Based on my observation, this phenomenon is true. Most parents who don't pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids' attitude.I'll make a comparison of how two families raise their children. The first one is a family with three children. Both mother and father never say "No" to their children's demands. As a result, all of their children became stubborn and won't listen to their parents’ words, "We can't." The second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. The parents never approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. They always postponed one or two days, even if they could afford it. Due to the way their parents educated them, these children understood that if they wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first. As a result, all the kids from the second family successfully graduated from university on time.In my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start disciplining them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers.46. Why did the writer give two different stories in this passage?A. To help prove his opinion about raising a child.B. To list different ways that parents may take.C. To criticize some parents’ foolish action.D. To prove that his way of education is right.47. What does the underlined word “postponed” in the third paragraph mean?A. Carried out at once.B. Gave up.C. Put off.D. Made a decision.48. In the writer’s opinion, which of the following about raising a child is TRUE?A. Children should be respected once they were born.B. Parents should educate their children as early as possible.C. It is right time to educate their children when they are teenagers.D. Children should be helped whenever they make mistakes.B篇Malaysia is a country of exciting beauty, with a tropical(热带的)climate.

1Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be“ like a magic carpet...You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag”. Then he paused:“ But you’ll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.”It was a rare—indeed unique—occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor,William Henry James Grout,did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable, had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grout’s Wonderful Bag,a leather case. Grout’s aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train.Now doesn’t that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage:in Grout’s day ,tyres were solid,which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn’t do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated(充气的) tyre.So,in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse(椭圆). Throughout,the tyre remains inflated.Will the young Fitzsimons’s folding wheel make it into production? I haven’t the foggiest idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It’s as silly a concept now as it was 100-years-ago:there’s ple nty still to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than £1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane — minus wheels, of course—as hand baggage.Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchie’s imagination? No. But it’s progress.【文章大意概括】一位发明家想要发明折叠自行车的话,最大的困难是如何折叠轮子。

" To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourselfto learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.46. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be happy.D. They will be discouraged(泄气的).47. If you can't remember someone's name, you may __A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you48. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible49. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.B篇Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain r esult from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.50.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifD. human beings make mistakes easily51. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Try to reach 50 points.B. Never stop trying in your life.C. Award yourself for your successD. Don’t be afraid of missing your points.52. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.A. exampesB. numbersC. experimentsD. stories53. The underlined word “ despondent ” in the last paragraph means________.A. frightenedB. disappointedC. surprisedD. excited26—30 ACADC 31—35 BDABC 36—40 ADDCB 41—45 BCADB 46-53 CABA BCAB。

1A few years ago I had an “ aha!” moment regarding handwriting.I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year, maybe two, and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.It was a very important event in the computerization of life — a sign that the informal, friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized one another’s handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.As a child visiting my father’s office, I was pleased to recognize,in little notes on the desks of his staff,the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge —except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of“ RFW”.All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by Florey. She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well, but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen.I don’t buy it.I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive, personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However, they have worked in many school systems. 【文章大意概括】由于一次无法辨认同事字迹的经历,作者意识到了电脑技术对传统的亲笔书写方式的冲击,只是作者期望书法能够得到储存。

As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.46. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A.
