第二部分阅读理解
A
A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respec table professor?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day finally came, my nerves kicked in （开始生效）and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like an experienced professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and waited for the students to speak out freely. Before this class I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I even had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would be active and perhaps they would yell(大喊) and I would have to say “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
But, on the contrary, nobody put up his/her hand. A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no one stand up, I asked the students to take out their notebooks and write a brief article on deep disappointment.
56. The author took the job to teach writing because _____.
A. he wanted to be called Mr. Davis like his father.
B. he had written some stories
C. he wanted to please his father
D. he had dreamed of being a teacher
57. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?
A. He would be aggressive in his first class.
B. He was well-prepared for what he would teach in his first class.
C. He got nervous as his first class came.
D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.
58. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______.
A. write down their suggestions on the paper cards
B. cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
C. cut some cards out of the construction paper
D. write down their names on the paper cards
59. What did the students do when the author started his class?
A. They began to talk.
B. They stayed silent.
C. They raised their hands.
D. They shouted to be heard.
60. The author chose topic for the article probably because ______.
A. he got disappointed with his first class
B. he had prepared the topic before class
C. he wanted to calm down the students
D. he thought it was an easy topic
B
To a growing number of US students in China, study in the ancient country is no longer just a cultural experience; it has become an important part of their future professional careers.
Sam Gor, a 26-year-old student from Santa Clara, a county near San Francisco, said the purpose of his studies in Beijing was to help him find a good job when he goes back to the United States. “Culture matters,” he said. “But more importantly, to learn Chinese and get a better understanding of the country may help me professionally.” As a new student at Beijing Lang uage and Cultural University (BLCU), Gor hopes to find a job in Santa Clara’s local government when he goes back home in one year. “I need to learn Chinese if I want the job, as we have a large Chinese community there.”
Gor is not alone in his thinking. While the number of US students in China has grown from less than 100 in the early 1980s to more than 10,000 currently, many of them are here to boost a professional skill as much as to enjoy a new culture.
“In the past, foreign students came to China merely for our culture,” said Xu Qiuhan, director of BLCU’s foreign students office. “But because of China’s rapid economic and social development, being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to a student’s future job.”
There are more US students who choose to stay in the country instead of going back after graduation. Stephanie Schubmehlo, a 23-year-old from Rochester, New York State, said she would like to stay in Beijing after graduation. “I love the city , and I can earn myself a living h ere if I can speak good Chinese,” she said, adding that some of the US students she knows
shared the same idea.
61. This text mainly tells us that _________
A. US students prefer to stay in China
B. Chinese will become popular all over the world
C. Chinese helps students from America professionally
D. US students become less interested in China’s culture
62. Sam Gor studies in Beijing in order to____________
A. find a job there
B. have a better professional basis
C. learn China’s culture
D. study di fferent languages
63. In Xu Qiuhan’s opinion, __________________.
A. Chinese helps with the development of China
B. more and more Americans will study in China
C. professional skills are more important than culture
D. China’s development makes Chinese prof essionally useful
64. What do Sam Gor and Stephanie Schubmehlo have in common?
A. They are studying Chinese in Beijing
B. They are from the same city of the US.
C. They are of the same age.
D. They will go back to the US after graduation.
65. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. Many US students know Chinese better than English.
B. Chinese is the necessary subject in many American schools.
C. Most US students choose to go back to America after graduation.
D. It’s easier for Sam Gor to get the job with learning Chinese well.
C
PALO AITO, California—“ Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth grades, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds （0.91 kg ）less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Tho mas Robinson, a pediatrician （儿科专家）at Stanford University.
“ American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinson said.
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies’ annual meeting in
San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning off calories,” Robinson said.
“Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals instead of three in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson added.
66. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ____.
A. children will get fatter if they eat too much.
B. children will get thinner if they eat less.
C. children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV.
D. children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV.
67. According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV ____.
A. is more than twenty eight hours a week.
B. is less than four hours a day.
C. doubled in the last twenty years.
D. is more than on any other activities.
68. The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about ___.
A. six hours
B. eight hours
C. three hours
D. one hour
69. Which of the following is right ?
A. Children usually eat fewer while watching TV.
B. Children usually eat more while watching TV.
C. Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.
D. Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.
70. Why can watching TV increase kids’ weight according to the passage ?
A. They usually eat more while watching TV.
B. They burn off fewer calories.
C. They change their diet while watching TV.
D. Both A and B

第四部分书面表达
第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you do not feel energetic, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
Dr. Henry Winkle wrote an article in a recent newspaper, which indicates that stress, worry and sleep are di rectly related. Dr. Winkle says, “The more we worry, the less we sleep, and the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can ______________________,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”
So, what is a good night’s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. “When you put the light out,” Dr. Winkle says, “concentrate on re laxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll be asleep before you know it.”
21. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? (Please answer within 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________ 22. Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?
People shouldn’t go to sleep immediately but should take a break after working late in the night.
____________________________________________________________________________ 23. Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________ 24. Someone says that the longer you sleep, the better you feel. What doest the writer think of it? (Please answer within 30 words)
____________________________________________________________________________ 25. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 into Chinese.
