2010届上海市高三英语二模汇编——回答问题(奉贤)An addiction (瘾) is an activity or substance we are eager to experience repeatedly, and for which we are willing if necessary to pay a price. Common addictions involve alcohol, cigarettes, food, drugs, gambling, etc. This article discusses the concepts which can be helpful in coping with addictive behavior.Relatively minor addictions, such as watching too much television, or lying in bed on weekend mornings, are often not even considered addictions, because the price paid for engaging in them is not high. On the other hand, we tend to use the term "addict" to describe the person who, at least in the eyes of others, continues to be addicted in a behavior long after it has become clear that the substantial price being paid was not worth the benefit. The individual who has lost career, house, family and friends because of cocaine (可卡因) use, but is unwilling to consider stopping is an unfortunate example.Negative addictions range from those with very minor negative consequences, to those as serious as the cocaine addict just mentioned, with much area in between. Although it is not necessarily true that a negative addiction grows stronger over time, yet a constant level of addictive behavior (e.g., overspending $ 200 a week ) can lead to an increasing level of negative consequences.You may be surprised to learn that addictions can also be considered positive. Positive addictions are those in which the benefits outweigh the price. A common example would be the habit of regular exercise. The price of membership in a gym, the time involved and any clothing expense is outweighed by the benefits of better health, energy, self-confidence and appearance. As with negative addictions, positive addictions may not get stronger over time, and there is a broad range of how much benefit is actually obtained.What is common to both positive and negative addictions is the urge to engage in the addictive behavior, and the satisfaction that is felt when the urge is acted upon. The urge is a state of tension and expectation that is experienced uncomfortably as a desire for the substance or activity. Because we experience relief when the urge is acted upon, there is an increased likelihood that we will act on the urge again.81. What does the passage mainly talk about?____________________________________.82. We use the term "addict" to describe a person when he or she goes on ______________even though he or she knows it is not worthwhile.83. Why is exercising in the gym considered to be a positive addiction?_______________________________________________________.84.

Palm Beach County public schools require 20, and most private schools require at least that much.The purpose: To give students the chance to explore a career and create a habit of volunteering.―We hope that when they finish high school they’ll continue service,‖ says Mike Roland, student activities officer for the Broward School District.About half of U.S. public schools require community service, according to a national study. Broward School Board member Bob Parks says encouraging community service has launched all kinds of new projects, including tutoring and food collections.Sooknanan, a student at South Broward High School, is part of the Humane Society of Broward County’s volunteer program,which is so popular that even the waiting list is closed. Students work one four-hour shift a week for four months, and leave with 64 volunteer hours.Sooknanan changes litter boxes and puts down fresh newspaper for about 100 cats.Combined with her volunteer hours at beach cleanups and helping teachers at school, she’s well on her way toward 250 hours, which she hopes will catch the eye of Nova Southeastern University, where she wants to study marine biology.Carroll, a junior student at South Plantation High, has connected with FLIPANY, a nonprofit organization that offers cheap physical activity and food to low-income families. He helps teach children about cooking and healthy eating.―It has been a life-changing experience,‖ says Carroll, who is now leaning toward a career as a sports trainer.

However, doing business in different countries is very rarely simple. It is important to be aware of the local customs and traditions of the people you are dealing with, which is the best way to impress your hosts.One example that comes to mind is of a German company that recently tried to gain a new contract in South Korea. The German visi tors arrived at the Korean company’s office early in the morning and spent the whole day in long meetings. By the evening, the Germans were so tired that they politely declined the Korean’s invitation to go out for dinner and drinks, since they wanted to return to their hotel and get some rest. The Germans did not u nderstand that in South Korea business talks often continue into the evening. The Germans only came to realize that they offended their hosts after they had lost the contract.In Europe or the USA, business is rarely discussed into the evening. However, it is important to be on time for a meeting. If you are late, your hosts may think you do not care. In fact, it is better to arrive at least ten minutes before the meeting starts. This way, you can show how keen you are to do business with them, and you will also have time to talk with your hosts before you sit down to discuss business.However, in many countries meetings may not start on time. There are a number of reasons for this, such as transport difficulties due to poor roads, unusual weather and the cost of cars. Sometimes the time of day is also important. In South America and many countries in southern Europe, people have a short sleep for a couple of hours after lunch. Therefore, if you try to arrange a meeting for the early afternoon, you may find that not many people will attend, or that you hosts will be in a bad mood.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. In Korea, what confuses many western businessmen is _______.82. In the West, what does a businessman do if he wants to show a keen attitude to the business ina negotiation?83. Where is it common for people to have a nap after lunch?84. According to the passage, it can be concluded that _______ helps a company make goodcontacts in different countries.81. that business talks often continue into the evening82. He arrives at the meeting at least ten minutes/a bit early.83. In South America and many countries in southern Europe.84. being aware of/ paying attention to the local customs and traditions（静安、杨浦、宝山、青浦）Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understanding —the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.―All men are created equal,‖ we heard it many times, but it still ha s important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to indicate equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children — the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capability, whether that capability is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children —disabled or not —to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.（Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. This passage is concerned primarily with the necessity of adapting ________________.82. What affects the growth of exceptional children according to the author?83. People have shown great interest in the education of exceptional children over the last threedecades because they believe that ________________________________________.84. According to the passage, what does ―All men are created equal‖ mean to the country’s founders?81. education to exceptional children82. Their family and the society.83. all citizens deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities84. It means/indicates everyone/anyone is equal before the law.（卢湾）(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) From Buckingham Palace to Oxford, the UK is loaded with wonderful icons(标志) of past eras. But it has also modernized with confidence. It’s now better known for vibrant(充满活力的) cities with great nightlife and a ttraction. Fashions, fine dining, clubbing, shopping —the UK is among the world’s best.Most people have strong preconceptions about the British. But if you’re one of these people, you’d be wise to abandon those ideas. V isit a nightclub in one of the big cities, a football match, or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable. It’s certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers, sports supporters, pet owners and gardeners than the UK.Getting around England is pretty easy. Budget airlines like Easyjet and Rynnair fly domestically. Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another. Long distance express buses are called coaches. Where coaches and buses run on the same route, coaches are more expensive (though quicker) than buses. London’s famous black cabs are excellent but expensive. Minicabs are cheaper competitors, with freelance (个体的) drivers. But usually you need to give a call first. London’s underground is called the Tube. It’s very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.The UK is not famous for its food. But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods. The most famous must be fish and chips. The fish and chips are deep fried in flour. English breakfast is something you need to try. It is fried bacon, with toast and a pot of tea. Other things like shepherd’s pie and Y orkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.Pubbing and Clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife, especially for the young. Pubbing means going to a pub with friends, having drinks, and chatting. Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a place of music, or a bar, or any other place to gather with friends. Clubbing can be found everywhere. Usually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing, such as no jeans, no sportswear, while pubbing is much more casual.76.If you are involved in the real life of local residents, you may find them______________________________.77.How many kinds of transportation forms are mentioned in the third paragraph? Giveexamples (at least four)._____________________________________________________________.78.When you go clubbing in the UK, you should not ______________________________.79.What aspects are introduced about UK according to the passage?_____________________________________________________________.76. humorous and hospitable.77. Seven kinds including trains, coaches, buses, undergroundect.78. wear jeans or sportswear.79. People, traffic, food and nightlife.（闵行）A new study suggests that the round-the-clock availability that cell phone have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobilephone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative ―spillover’’ between work and home life — and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.Spillover essentially means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance, or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mom at work, telling her ―microwave exploded‖, explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.This may be especially true for working w omen, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入) into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. B eing ―connected‖ meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life.Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are ―reasonable‖. For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.(Note: Write NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS for each question or statement.)81. By saying ―may be taking a toll on family life‖, the writer probably means that cell phone____________.82. As a result of negative ―spillover‖, people will feel ______________.83. The writer gave the example of ―microwave exploded‖ to indicate that ______________.84. According to Chesley, what could employees do to avoid spillover when they are not atwork?81. may be having bad effect on family life (brings negative spillover …)82. less satisfied with their family life83. family issues affect work hours (invade…)84. Power off their cell phones during family time (Turn off…)（浦东）Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less creative, somehow. When there's nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on the TV.One father, for example, says, "When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games. We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, 'I have nothing to do!'" He compares this with his own children today: "They're simply lazy. If someone doesn't entertain them, they'll happily sit there watching TV all day."There is one word for this father's disappointment', unfair. It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplores(哀叹) his children's lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something innate(天生的) that hischildren are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play — to imagine, to invent, to elaborate (描述) on reality in a playful way — and the ability to gain fulfillment from it, these are skills that have to be learned and developed.Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive. Sensing their parents' disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people.81.Accord in;; to many parents, without TV, their children would ask them to ___________ .82.Why is it unfair for the father to blame his children for not being able to entertain themselves?83.When parents show constant disappointment in their children, the destructive effect is that thechildren will __________84. According to the author, in what way can children's self-confidence be developed?81. be entertainers. / play with them./ entertain themselves./ be on call as entertainers./ act asentertainers.82. Because they should learn and develop the ability to play.Because they have to learn those skills (which are not innate).Because these abilities should be learned and developed.Because these abilities are not born with.83. lose self-confidence.believe that they are less worthy of admiration and respect.believe that they’re lacking of something.84. By giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons anddiscover the pleasures of doing things.By/Through playing and doing things on their own.（普陀）(E)So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful,enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.81 .The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_______82.The teaching of reading will be successful if ___________.83.The word "scrutiny" (Line 3, Para.3) most probably means________________84. What is the main idea of the passage ?81. too much time is spent in teaching about reading.82. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading83. observation84. Reading ability is something acquired rather than taught.（松江）Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion—a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, neither anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups. Society's economic functions would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no motivation to work. In fact, there would be no motivation of any kind. For as we will see, motivation implies a capacity to enjoy certain activities.In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we Categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us—hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life—from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how w;e keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. It gives high rewards to individuals when performing important tasks.81. According to the passage, the concept of right or wrong comes from___________.82. Emotions are significant for man's survival because___________.83. What would an emotionless world lack?84. What is the result of the absence of emotion?81. our emotional experience /(social feeling of agreement)82. they structure the world for us in important ways83. Rewards and punishments.84. People might not be, able to stay alive.(徐汇)The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, because college will help them earn more money and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the patter n are becoming more and more, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students get in the way of each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the competition for admission to graduate school.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy ca nnot take in an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. B ut disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. Perhaps college education does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way round, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place.（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. People used to think that going to college could help them ______________.82. What kind of people does "those who don't fit the pattern" in the 2nd paragraph probablyrefer to?83. The author believes that the problems of college education partly arise from the factthat___________.84. What can we learn about college education from the last paragraph?81. earn more money and learn to be more responsible citizens82. College students who do not succeed / aren't any better for their higher education.83. society cannot provide enough jobs for( properly) trained college graduates84. College education may not be suitable for every high school graduate.College education may not be the best for every young person.（闸北）(E)In many corners of the world, mass malnutrition is a deadly threat to people's life. It is plainly defined as a state of insufficiency of food for the population, where the majority of the people do not obtain enough food calories (~^S&M) to meet the lowest needs for support of physical work and for maintenance of health. Compared with wars or natural disasters like earthquake or flood, mass malnutrition is rather an unnoticeable health killer, which escapes enough public attention.In Latin America, as in other places, the frightening protein - shortage disease kwashiorkor has been said to take toll of thousands of children, greatly affecting the area's child population and leaves many more children in terribly poor health. The reason for the problem might lie in the traditional diets in the area which are not balanced in nutrition. Here people keep their eating pattern year after year without the knowledge of what these eating habits are doing to themselves and to future generations.In these poor areas, in stead of thoroughly altering- the local people' s long-term habits, the best way might be to find food substitutes which could meet nutritional needs. Mixtures of vegetable proteins, like soybeans and peanuts could provide cheap and useful protein where meat, eggs and milk are not within economic reach of large groups in population.Efforts could also be made to increase the agricultural productivity in some areas, where mass production of vegetable protein crops could bring life-saving nutrition to local people. Being used wrongly, large areas of land now are devoted to luxurious entertainment constructions, such as golf course or riding field, which are targeted at a small number of rich people. But isn’t a large area of productive planting land more acceptable and down — to — earth a choice to these countries suffering from mass malnutrition right now?(Note; Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)81. What is mass malnutrition?82. What does the underlined word "take toll of" probably mean?83. People can most effectively solve the mass malnutrition problem in some developing areas by ________.84. It would be wise to use large areas of planting land for________.81. A state of insufficiency of food for the population.82. kill83. finding food substitutes which could meet nutritional needs84. mass production of vegetable protein crops(长宁)Here is the VOA-news: India's, economy grew .by 7.9 percent in last three months, its fastest pace since last year's global financial crisis.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AWhen someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go ofyour anger. But forgiveness is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, bett er appetite and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear – even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view,65. The text is mainly written to explain _______.A. how to keep yourself from being hurtB. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to pardon others66. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A. Try to figure out why you get hurt.B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.67. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _______.A. we are not patient enoughB. we’d feel worse accepting others’ apologyC. people never want to apologizeD. people don’t mean it when they apologizeBWe Are Now Open Daily Through Columbus DayThe museum and store are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the season.

Which one of the following is not included in the admission?A. Unlimited sunset trolley ride.B. Access to the museum grounds.C. A visit to museum exhibits.D.

No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先，重点) it must be given over general language development and writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.If spelling becomes the only key point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing not to use adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than spelling ability only.I was once shocked to read a teacher’s comment on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes!” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s spelling ability in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had failed to read the composition which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his appreciation would have given the pupil more encouragement to seek improvement.72. The underlined expression “play safe” in paragraph two probably means _______.A. to write carefullyB. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequentlyD. not to write words one is not sure of73. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _______.A. they may spend more time teaching writing techniquesB. they may have less trouble in correcting mistakesC. students will have more confidence in writingD. students will learn to be independent of teachers74. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece ofwriting is _______.A. reasonableB. unfairC. foolishD. careless75. Teachers are different in their opinions about _______.A. the necessity of teaching spellingB. the role of spelling in general language developmentC. the way of teaching spellingD. the importance of the basic grammarDA study published in September suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods: change their memories. Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvine asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities and food experiences. “One week later,” Loftus says, “we told those people we’d fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences.” Some accounts included one key additional detail: “You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream.” T he researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured (人为促生的) memory through leading questions “Who were you with? How did you feel?” By the end of the study, up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick, and many said they’d avoid eating it.When Loftus published her findings, she started getting calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. False memories appear to work only for fo odsyou don’t eat on a regular basis. But most important, it is likely that false memories can be implanted (灌输) only in people who are unaware of the mental control. And lying to a patient is immoral, even if a doctor believes it’s for the patient’s benef it.Loftus says there’s nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children, “I say, wake up. Parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years, and nobody seems to mind. If they can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that, you might think that’s a more moral lie. Decide that for yourself.”76. Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions?A. To improve her computer program.B. To find out their attitudes towards food.C. To find out details she can make use of.D. To predict what food they’ll like in the future.77. What did Loftus find out from her research?A. People believe what the computer tells them.B. People can be led to believe in something false.C. People tend to forget their childhood experiences.D. People are not always aware of their personalities.78. According to the study, people may stop having a certain food if they______.A. learn it is harmful for healthB. lie to themselves that they don’t want itC. are willing to let doctors control their mindsD. think they once had a bad experience of eating it79. What is the biggest concern with the method?A. Whether it is moral.B. Who it is best for.C. When it is effective.D. How it should be used.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading fromA study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but alsothe daily activities of our ancestors –or of people very different from our own – can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us apresented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros – as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins –’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people could n’t read, they could stillstill is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.第II卷I.

He then decided to buy her a talking bird for her birthday. Several days later Mrs. Jackson told her husband on the phone that she was very happy to see the bird and it could say whatever she said to it, such as, “Good morning!”, “I love you.”, etc.After Mr. Jackson finished his work in Paris he came back home. He was surprised to see that his wife brought the cooked bird from the kitchen. Mrs. Jackson smiled while she was saying, “Oh, dear. Welcome home! Let‟s have a delicious meal tonight.”“Why did you kill the bird?” Mr. Jackson asked. “It could talk to you.” His wife answered, “Yes, that‟s true. When I said to it this morning …I should kill you‟, and the bird also said …I should kill you!‟ I was so frightened that I decided to kill it before I was killed by it. But when I started to kill it, it said nothing. Why didn‟t it say …No, please don‟t kill me then?‟ ”（Now listen again）Questions:11. Who asked Mr. Jackson to do some business in Paris?12. What is “a talking bird”?13. Why did Mrs. Jackson kill her bird?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Social scientists, teachers, and parents are troubled by the kinds of TV programs children choose to watch. These groups of people are concerned about the media‟s effects on young children. They are worried about the effects of televised violence on society as well as commercials for food. Most importantly, however, they feel TV is one factor that causes declining math and reading scores among schoolchildren. Because too much time is spent watching TV, children are spending less time reading and thinking independently.Indeed, youngsters are watching a lot of TV---an average of nearly four hours a day and about 25 hours a week. Upon entering kindergarten at age 5, a child already has spent more hours watching TV than he or she would spend earning a college degree. By the child‟s 18th birthday, more time has been spent watching TV than on any other single activity except sleep.Clever advertising aimed at children certainly influences them. Very young children don‟t even distinguish between commercials and programs. Is it fair to show advertising to young children? Many people think that it is not. The US government has yet to control children‟s advertising, but Canada imposed a limited ban on commercials aimed at children.（Now listen again）Questions:14.

One day it‟s hot outside, and the next day it‟s raining.

I‟ve been here for four years and I rarely get sick because I‟m always dressed properly for the weather. But when I first came, that was a different story. M: I know.

2010届上海市高三二模——十选九
2010届上海市高三英语二模汇编——十选九（奉贤）Government statistics recently revealed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number are electrocuted(触电死亡) after 41 with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person’s heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid 42 to deal with such emergencies.What to do?If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don’t touch himor her!If they are still holding the appliance that has given them the shock, 43 it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances should you try to move the 44 with your hand!If you can’t turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to 45 the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spin injuries unless it is 46 necessary.It is necessary to maintain the victim’s body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, 47 mouth-to-mouth way. Keep the victim’s head low until 48 help arrives.If the electric shock has been caused by a(n) 49 power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.41. I 42.

The answer is that women enjoy a joke more once they get it. If you tell a woman a joke and get a blank look, don’t 41 despair. She’s just taking her time to understand it. But if the punchline（妙语）does eventually make her laugh it will be 42 the wait.Scientists have found that while women are slower than men at getting jokes, they enjoy them more when they truly understand. Research shows that women use their brain more than men to process witty 43 and have less expectation that they will be funny.When a joke does hit the right 44 , however, women derive more pleasure from it. Scientists asked ten men and ten women to look at dozens of black and white cartoons and rate them on a “funniness scale”. During the process they underwent sophisticated scans that mapped which parts of their brain were lighting up and timed how long it took them to 45 to a joke. The women tended to use 46 parts of their brain. Professor Allan Reiss said: “We found greater activity in the parts of their brain in women, showing women are processing stimuli that 47 language areas of the brain.”The 48 of a “feelgood” brain region also revealed that men and women have different attitudes to humour. Experts said: “Women appeared to have less expectation of a reward. So they were more pleased about it.” The funnier the cartoon, the more the women’s parts of their brain lit up. This was not the case for men. The women took 49 longer than the men to react to jokes that were funny — but were quicker to spot the “truth”.41～49 CEFJIDABH（卢湾）Barack Obama has been a hit in China.

In fact, he is the first U.S. president to visit China inside his first year in office.“The United States insists we do not seek to contain China’s rise,” he told Chinese students in Shanghai. “On the contrary, we welcome China as a strong and ___42___ and successful member of the community of nations.”The U.S.-China relationship has opened the door to partnerships on ___43 ___ global concerns including economic recovery, clean energy, climate change, and the ___44___ of peace and beyond, he added.Indeed, given these pressing issues, China and the United States have ___45___ found their future linked together. They discovered that the largest developing nation and the most powerful industrialized country have to work in concert.Obama’s visit to China on November 15-18 highlighted the complexity of arguably the mostimportant bilateral (双边) relationship in the world. Moreover, for all their differences and disagreements, Beijing and Washington are ___46___ to manage their relations in a way that will contribute to world peace and development.Obama kicked off his first state visit to China in the country’s financial and economic centre, Shanghai, where he held a “town hall”meeting with more than 500 Chinese students.

Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not 41 hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught 42 and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They 43 in kind and function. The function of teaching is to 44 the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that45 is not open to public examination.If teacher and learner roles are not 46 , what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the exploring for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching47 . “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them 48 , then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is49 . Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.41. B 42. D 43. A 44. J 45. G 46.

Generally speaking, the Accounts Department is __41__ for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department is interested in discussions with the employees about pay.If a firm wants to__42__a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a__43__of job evaluation and ways of measuring the performance of its employees. In order to be __44__, that new pay structure will need agreement between Trade Unions and employers, in job evaluation, all of the requirements of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, usually in "points", which are__45__ together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their__46__to solve problems. Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without__47__to an evaluation system based on points.In attempting to design a pay system, the Personnel Department should__48__the value of each job with these in the job market.__49__, payment for a job should vary with any differences in the way that the job is performed. Where it is simple to measure the work done, as in the work done with hands, monetary encouragement schemes are often chosen, for indirectworkers, where measurement is difficult, methods of additional payments are employed.41.

Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something__41__but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly__42__. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people,__43__in the customer giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods __44__ in almost every family are not __45__ needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the__46__, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in __47__and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time.

Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to___(41)___the trends of fashion.Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation without ___(42)___. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy's hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest ___(43)___styles and we are ___(44)___under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change?Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can ___(45)___a fashion. Take hats, for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a(n) ___(46)___in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like in stead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The ___(47)___of jeans and the "untidy" look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashions of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes ___(48)___. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be___(49)___to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don't look like the latest fashion photo.

These people, especially the young, are 47 their parents' homes to live their own life. They have no 48 on their parents' homes. Home is just where they can shut the door and feel 49 by themselves.

queen wa s found dead in her hotel room． She was 48．This, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world, __42__ what a legendary life and remarkable career that she once had．At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music world． From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world’s 43 artists． She strongly impressed the audiences with effortless, powerful and peerless vocals．Besides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing, and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You．She also 44 a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey．But by the end of her career, it was a 45 fall for this superstar． Houston has been addicted to drugs． Her album sales

who you want to become． You 51 know who these people maybe （possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger）, but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some 52 way．And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful． and unfair at first, but __53__you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart．Everything happens for a reason． Nothing happens 54 or by means of good luck． Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul． 55 these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere． It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly 56 ． The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become．Even the 57 experiences can be learned from． In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones． If someone hurts you, 58 you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart． If someone loves you, love them back 59 , not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your 60 and eyes to things．Make every day count． 61 every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again． Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen． Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high． Hold your head up because you have 62 right to． Tell yourself

BDirections: Read the following three passages． Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D． Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．（A）The rise of multinational corporations （跨国公司）, global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR．Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, America’s relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries． Ten years ago, for example, the world’s top five public relations agencies were American-owned． In 1991, only one was． The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative． A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate （公司的） planning activities, compared to about one-third of U．S． companies． It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR．Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs． Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country． Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts （相对应的人） in knowing a second language． Less than 5 percent of Burson—Marshall’s U．S．employees know two languages． Ogilvy and Mather have about the same percentage． Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language．Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye oninternational affairs． In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal． Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country．Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN （Cable News Network）． Turner recently announced that the word “foreign” would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts． According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign．65．Compared with the American PR personnel, what is/are an advantage（s） of the non-Americans involved in PR?A． They tend to be more internationally mindedB． They speak more and better foreign languages．C． They usually pay more attention to global financial situation．D． Both A and B．66．What is the immediate cause of the downfall of America’s public relations?A． The number of US public relations agencies had greatly decreased by 1991．B． Other countries have increased their efforts in public relations．C． On the global scale, cultural differences have significantly shrunk．D． The British companies are becoming especially sophisticated and creative in public relations．67．It could be inferred that the author of the passage is______．A． an American B． a BritonC． Ted Turner D． an Asian68．The underlined word “provincial”in paragraph 3 could possibly mean “”．A． strict in thinking B．like people from rural areasC． limited in outlook D． interested in geographical knowledge（B）There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown． They probably came about just to give children something to do．In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another． In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers． This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world．What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same． The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology． It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing． In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic （北极的） peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared． Variations dependedon local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings． Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles．Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use． The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent （进步）． The progress from a rattle used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness． Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials．69．Which is a major factor leading to the different variations of toys?A． Scientific advances and technological progressB． Different local customs and lifestyles of different peoplesC． Craftsmanship, mechanics, and technologyD． The artistic tastes of the times and the limitations of available materials 70．Why do boys and girls play with different kinds of toys?A． Because they are intended for different social roles and responsibilities．B． Because boys like to invent and girls imitate．C． Because boys play with their fathers while girls their mothers．D． Because they will take up different jobs when they grow up．71．One amazing aspect about the “universality of toys” is______．A． They appeared all over the world almost at the same time in history．B． They have not changed except in craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology．C． Having existed for thousands of years, toys are still found all over the world today．D． They are a kind of art form, which has been promoted by inventiveness．（C）The popular college rankings focus primarily on prestige as measured by the SAT scores of incoming students and how many applicants are turned away． An initiative （措施）started last fall by the Obama administration could help families go beyond these limited, and far too easily exploited, indexes to learn quickly and easily how a college is compared with its competitors nationally on important criteria like graduation rates, what a degree actually costs and how much debt a student can expect to run up by graduation day．If the federal government makes it legally necessary to disclose this information in a clear and consistent（一贯的）way, as it should, families will be better able to make informed college choices． And this will help put pressure on colleges that perform poorly to improve．Critics may regard this initiative as an example of government overreach． But given that the federal government spends nearly $190 billion a year on higher education aid to students, it has a legitimate interest in making sure that the money flows to the schools that best meet their responsibilities to families and students．Congress has taken some steps to require greater transparency（透明）from colleges． The 1990 Student Right to Know Act, for example, required colleges and universities that receive federal aid to disclose graduation rates． And the 2008Higher Education Opportunity Act required schools to offer a way for consumers to determine actual costs after student aid is taken into account．But many colleges have done a poor job of obeying federal disclosure rules, and much of the available information is not in one place．The administration’s new efforts would enforce reporting requirements and provide some new tools．President Obama wants to expand campus-based aid to about $10 billion from the current $2．7 billion． He has proposed moving money away from colleges that fail to control tuition increases or provide good value to others that do a better job． That is a worthy idea in principle, but he will need strong data-based evidence to determine how colleges are doing．The transparency initiatives are a good place to start and should be embraced by both parties in Congress． If students and families, facing higher tuition and rising debt, are to make sound choices, they need more and better information．72．Why did the Obama administration start the initiative last fall?A． To require colleges to make their graduation rates known to the public．B． To help colleges perform better in the future．C． To help parents and students make better choices of colleges．D． To put more pressure on colleges that are not doing well enough．73．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Critics agree that the government should require colleges to obey the disclosure rules．B． Congress has approved and made the transparency initiatives a law．C． SAT scores alone do not determine one’s choice of college．D． Students and families find it very difficult to choose their ideal colleges now．74．A most suitable title for the passage could be______．A． Congress To Require Greater TransparencyB． What College Parents and Students Need to KnowC． What a Good College Is Measured ByD． Parents and Students Need to Make Wise Choices75．What attitude does the author hold towards the transparency initiative?A． supportive B． criticalC． indifferent D． not statedSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph． There is one extra heading which you do not need．76． __________Lin（Jeremy Shu-How Lin）got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him． They had too many injuries． Baron Davis was gone． The other point guards were out． Carmelo Anthony was injured． Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death． Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed． But he made the most of it． You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life．Often, they’re wh en you least expect them． Make the most of them．Don’t waster them．77． __________Lin isn’t Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant．He’s not a pure scorer．He’s a passer and distributor –who can also score very well．It didn’t work for him in Golden State or Houston –where he was before landing at the Knicks．But Mike D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his strengths．You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and then ensure that you’re in a system （a job or organization or industry）that is a good fit for those strengths． Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring to the table．78． __________You probably manage people at your own company today．Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among you now? How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him a new project to run with? How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues? We put people around us in boxes．He’s from Harvard．He’s Asian-American． Not sure he can play． How many assumptions have you made about talent around you? Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent slip through your fingers． With all their money, scouts（球探）, and testing, they didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands． Do you know what your people （or even yourself） are really capable of? Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world．79． __________If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head．It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all this media craze． It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more．80． __________Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills． There are no short cuts to hard work． Success isa by product of that．If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you towork hard, great． If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom! Get up early, stay up late． Nobody gave Lin any free passes． Why should you get any? You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know．Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully． Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words．Hidden deep in our subconscious is an idyllic（牧歌般的，田园诗式的）vision． We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent． We are traveling by train． Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls． But uppermost in our minds is the final destination． On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station． Bands will be playing and flags waving． Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle． How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for hanging around—waiting, waiting, waiting for the station．“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry．“When I’m 18．”; “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!”; “When I put the last kid through college．”; “When I paid off the mortgage!”; “When I get a promotion．”; “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!” Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all． The true joy of life is the trip． The station is only a dream． It constantly outdistances us．“Relish（享受）the moment” is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 180: 24: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it．” It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad, it is the regrets over yesterday and fear of tomorrow． Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today．So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles． Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less． Life must be lived as we go along． The station will come soon enough．（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS．）81． What does the author of this passage compare life to?______________________________________________________________________________．82．Hidden in the uppermost part of our minds is_______________________________________．83．Life is made dull and boring by________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________．84． According to the author, what is the true meaning of life?______________________________________________________________________________．第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I． TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets．1．她把毕生奉献于教育。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Just before midnight, six University of Cincinnati students were watching TV in an on-campus apartment when three men burst through the door. While one of the intruders pointed a gun at the group, the other two scooped up $4,400 worth of laptops, cell phones, video games and cash. Once they had what they wanted, the trio fled into the night.Furious, the students chased down and tackled one of the burglars -- the one with the gun. In thestruggle, it went off, and a bullet grazed a student's leg. His friends piled on the gunman and held him until police showed up.By the next day, the injured young man was back in his apartment, and the suspect was in jail, charged with burglary, felonious assault and receiving stolen property. But how did the men manage to storm into an on-campus residence that November night in the first place? Simple: Students told police the building's main doors hadn't latched properly for days.As parents confront ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates, they are finding themselves with an even bigger, more basic problem: Which campuses are safe? Colleges seem like idyllic and secure places, and for the most part, they are. But ivy-covered walls can't keep out every bad element. This country's 6,000 colleges and universities report some 40,000 burglaries, 3,700 forcible sex offenses, 7,000 aggravated assaults and 48 murders a year. Other hazards -- fires, binge-drinking, mental-health problems -- are also on the rise.Of course, that's not what parents and students see on America's serene campuses. There's a false sense of security, says Harry Nolan, a safety consultant in New York City. "Students see guards patrolling at night or a video camera monitoring the dorm entrance and think, Nothing bad can happen to me," he explains. "People don't know that safety controls are often very lax."65. What did the students do after the burglars fled into the night?A. They stood there in surprise.B. They ran after the burglars at once.C. They waited for the police.D. They phoned their teacher.66. What does the underlined word ―latched‖ in the third paragraph probably mean?A. watchedB. fixedC. lockedD. kept67. What worries parents most except ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates?A. Their children’s grades in the universities or colleges.B. Their children’s safety in the universities or colleges.C. Their children’s behavior in the universities or college s.D. Their children’s relationship with classmates in the universities or colleges.(B)The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water which separates England and France. Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel, and they are busy most of the year. January is the only quiet month nowadays. As well as summer holiday-makers, there are day trippersand coach traffic, not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles. Some ferries carry cars and their passengers, while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network.The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind. The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day. Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station.Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon, according to one ferryboat captain. The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic. This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe. There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time, and they all pass through a ―choke point‖ which is only fifteen miles (twenty-five kilometers) wide. The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic.68. The passage is mainly concerned with _____.A. the English ChannelB. the weather on the ChannelC. cross-channel ferriesD. what crossing the Channel by ferry is like69. The word hazard is closest in meaning to ________.A. troubleB. dangerC. enemyD. problem70. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. if there is a gale warning from the BBC, the ferries will stop operating.B. the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winterC. ferries are busiest in the afternoonD. the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day71. Where does this passage most probably appear?A. In a dictionary.B. In a novel.C. In a transportation magazine.D. In a geography textbook.(C)A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. Jet lag interferes with a person's normal times for sleeping and waking. People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days. They also may have problems thinking clearly and remembering.Kwangwook Cho is a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain. He reported the findings of his jet lag study in the publication Nature Neuroscience.The study involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. The women had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.Mister Cho took some fluid from the women's mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress. He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains using magnetic resonance imaging. This is a way to measure the size of the brain's temporal lobes（颞叶）.It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.Mister Cho says he believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.72. According to the text, jet lag _____.A. can cause difficulties in speakingB. can make people feel tired for a few weeksC. is the illness only found in people who work on the airplanesD. can be caused by flying over several time zones in an airplane73. It is inferred that more tests need to be done because _____.A. the conclusion was questioned by many scientistsB. scientists fear that his research is not done properlyC. every scientific conclusion needs the support from many testsD. the woman who were studied in the research were not healthy74. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the research results?A. Women who have a longer rest at home show better memory.B. Women who fly in short time had smaller right temporal lobes.C. Women who have longer flights failed the memory test.D. Women who rest more than 14 days produced less hormones.75. What is the subject discussed in the test? A. The cause of jet lag.B. A story of a group of flight attendance.C. A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain.D. The importance of having enough rest after long flights.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Even if you do not live in a country where English is the main language. You can take advantage of many opportunities to practice reading in English. By taking advantage of a wide variety of sources, you will come to appreciate the richness and variety of styles that individuals will use to express themselves. 77. If you have never had a chance to read the works of Dickens. Poe, or other classical English writers, you can find some of their works for free online. Among other things, you can download entire novels. You may also want to browse the internet and look for critical reviews of classical materials. This will provide you with an opportunity to see if others interpret the material in the same way.78.If you are not interested in classical literature, perhaps it does not make much sense to force yourself to read these materials. Fortunately, there are millions of books written in English. As an example, if you enjoy water painting you may want to purchase a book about it Written in English.79. Chances are, if there is a hobby you are interested in, there are authors writing something about it in English. If you search the web, it should be fairly easy to locate websites that have free newsletters. These materials are ideal because they provide you with fresh reading materials. In addition, because they are about a topic that you already know something about, you will be able to appreciate the information that is shared, as well as practice your reading skills.80. Unlike a few years ago, you can have access to news in English whenever you want. If you are interested in particular area of the world, you may even want to use your time to read those sections of the news. In most cases, you can find free news resources on the Internet. These may also be an excellent place for you to find the names of other websites that have additional information that you might be interested in.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When it comes to finding their way back home, mice are definitely in the first place. In fact, they find their way around in much the same way we do!Recently scientists at Oxford University found that wood mice have a rare ability. They actually create a type of ―road sign‖ to tell themselves which way to go. Until now, most people did not think animals could do this.Wood mice live in large open fields. One part of the field looks much like the next. Scientists wondered how wood mice kept from getting lost without landmarks. How did they remember wherethey hid their food? By studying a group of these mice, researchers learned that these clever mice pile seeds, leaves and other materials at places they want to remember.What is truly remarkable is that these markers are visual. Wood mice have large eyes. They rely on their vision to fine their way. House mice, by contrast, follow their own smell to get back to their nests. However, leaving a small trail in an open field could be very dangerous. Enemies might use it to track down the little mice. Wood mice do not have to worry about this. Other animals do not know what their markers mean.Researchers wanted to learn more about this unusual behavior. To do so, they needed to study the mice more closely. They decided to place a group of mice inside a box and film their activity. They also put some small plastic discs and a small amount of food in the box. Soon the mice began moving the discs. They used them to hide food. They also shifted them from place to place as they moved farther and farther away from their nesting area.Researchers believe this new information may change how people think about these little creatures, and one of the first steps in realizing that mice are not as silly as we probably originally thought. One thing seems certain that these remarkable road signs will be a focus of scientific research for some time to come.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. How are wood mice different from house mice?82. The rare ability wood mice have is _______________________.83. Researchers found when wood mice moved farther and farther away from their nesting place, they _______.84. Why do scientists study wood mice?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)第II卷（共45分）I.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)First, you ought to know that I'm "only" fourteen. My mother points this out often. I can make my own decisions when I'm old enough to vote, she says. Second, I should tell you that she's right -- I'm not always responsible. I sometimes take the prize for grade-A dork (呆子) .Take last weekend, for instance. ! was staying at Dad's, and I decided it was time I learned to drive. It was Sunday morning, 7 A.M., and I hadn't slept well. I'd been up thinking about an argument, which I'll tell you about in a minute. Well, nobody was up yet in the neighborhood, so ! thought it couldn'thurt to back the car out of the garage and drive around the block. But Dad has a clutch car. The R on the shift handle was up on the left side, right next to first gear(档位) . I guess you can guess the rest.Dad's always been understanding. He didn't say, "Okay, little Miss Know-It-All, you can just spend the rest of the year paying this off," which is what Mom would have said. Instead, Dad worried about what might have happened to me. And that made me feel more guilty than anything. I think he'd be a better number-one caregiver, but I can't say things like that to Mom. To her, I have to say, "But Mom, Dad's place is closer to school. I could ride my bike."To which she replies, "Amy Lynn, you don't own a bike. Remember? You left it in the yard, and it was stolen. And you haven't got the patience to earn the money to replace it."65.

Lectures in Hall I will be given by university students.(C)Is a mouse that can speak acceptable? How about a dog with human hands or feet? Scientists, the people with the know-how to make such things happen, are now thinking about whether such experiments are morally right or not.On Nov. 10, Britain's Academy of Medical Sciences launched a study on the use of animals with human materials in scientific research. The work is expected to take at least a year, but its leaders hope it will lead to guidelines for scientists in Britain and around the world on how far they can go mixing human genes into animals in search of ways to fight human diseases."Do these constructs (构想) challenge our idea of what it is to be human?" asked Martin Bobrow, a professor of medical genetics at Cambridge University and chair of a 14-member group looking into the issue. "It is important that we consider these questions now so that appropriate boundaries are recognized."Using human material in animals is not new. Scientists have already created monkeys that have a human form of the Huntingdon's gene so they can study how the disease develops; and mice with livers (肝) made from human cells are being used to study the effects of new drugs.However, scientists say the technology to put ever greater amounts of human genetic material into animals is spreading quickly around the world --- raising the possibility that some scientists in some places may want to go further than is morally acceptable.Last year in Britain there was a lively debate over new laws allowing the creation of human-animal embryos (胚胎) for experiments. On one side of the debate were religious groups, who claimed that such science interferes with nature. Opposing them were scientists who pointed out that such experiments were vital to research cures for diseases.The experts will publish reports after the end of the study, in which they will give definitions for animal embryos with human genes or cells, look at safety and animal welfare issues, and consider the right legal framework to work within.72. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Scientists in Britain and around the world.B. Leaders of the research.C. Guidelines for scientists.D. Scientific experiments.73. Scientists do research of mixing human genes in to animals in order to ________.A. test new drugs on animalsB. to find ways to fight human diseasesC. prove the research is morally acceptableD. create monkeys and mice with livers made from human cells74. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. the experts will release reports after the studyB. scientists have never doubted the use of animals with human materialsC. the creation of human-animal embryos for experiments is legal in BritainD. religious groups hold that cures for diseases have to be done through experiments75. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Morally Right or Not?B. A Debate about New LawsC. Cures for DiseasesD. Animal Embryos with Human GenesSection CA. Everlasting thoughts in printB. Lifelong friendsC. Books and companionsD. Companionship of booksE. Living spiritual guidesF. Bridges between minds76.A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.77.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.78.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page.79.Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us in to the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. Wehear what they said and did', see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they described.80.The great and good do not die even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of great men of old. The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.Section DAny friend of yours...is a friend of mine.Louise Henry, a 3 l-year-old business executive from London, arrives at her desk and turns on her computer. She is happy as she is expecting a message from her new best friend Juanita, a museum worker who lives in Vancouver, Canada.Louise and Juanita email every day, and by doing this they are part of a new social trend that is spreading around the world. From London to Sydney, New York to Singapore, you don't have to live in the same city to make new friends, or even on the same continent. You can form new friendships on the Internet.In the past there were pen pals. Now there is , which has over 1.5 million members. And a British service, has over 500,000 members and more are joining every day. These new websites are based on the 'small world hypothesis' developed by an American sociologist, Stanley Mailgram, in the 1960s.The potential for making friends on the Internet is huge, but there are also danger to meeting people you don't know. Because of this, these websites only accept members who are invited by their real-life friends. Once members are accepted they can put their whole social network on the website. This way, friends can get to know friends' friends, without going out to parties to meet them. Friends can chat, meet for a coffee and, of course, become friends.Louise became friends with Juanita by five steps: her friend Colin, a computer consultant, who knew Jess, a secretary, who was friends have been in touch ever since.Louise says: "Juanita and I chat over the Internet all the time, about films, religion and her new fiat. Although she lives in Canada, we have a lot in common. We're both doing photography courses at the moment. I'm on the site to meet new people in a society where I don't think it's easy to make new friends." (Note: NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What do Louise and Juanita have in common?82. The "new social trend" refers to83. How do the websites make their sites safe?84. The author mentioned Louise and Juanita to illustrateI. Translation.1．志愿者经历让我受益匪浅。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AWhen someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. ―People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,‖ says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good ―So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.‖So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. ―Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,‖ says Dr. Luskin. ―They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.‖ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear – even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view,65. The text is mainly written to explain _______.A. how to keep yourself from being hurtB. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to pardon others66. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A. Try to figure out why you get hurt.B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.67. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _______.A. we are not patient enoughB. we’d feel worse accepting others’ apologyC. people never want to apologizeD. people don’t mean it when they apologizeBWe Are Now Open Daily Through Columbus DayThe museum and store are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the season.

There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先，重点) it must be given over general language development and writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.If spelling becomes the only key point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to ―play safe‖. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing not to use adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of di ctionaries and pay attention to content rather than spelling ability only.I was once shocked to read a teacher’s comment on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing: ―This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes!‖ It may have been a s harp criticism of the pupil’s spelling ability in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had failed to read the composition which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his appreciation would have given the pupil more encouragement to seek improvement.72. The underlined expression ―play safe‖ in paragraph two probably means _______.A. to write carefullyB. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequentlyD. not to write words one is not sure of73. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _______.A. they may spend more time teaching writing techniquesB. they may have less trouble in correcting mistakesC. students will have more confidence in writingD. students will learn to be independent of teachers74. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece o f writing is_______.A. reasonableB. unfairC. foolishD. careless75. Teachers are different in their opinions about _______.A. the necessity of teaching spellingB. the role of spelling in general language developmentC. the way of teaching spellingD. the importance of the basic grammarDA study published in September suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods: change their memories. Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvin e asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities and food experiences. ―One week later,‖ Loftus says, ―we told those people we’d fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences.‖ Some accounts included one key additional detail: ―You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream.‖ The researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured (人为促生的) memory through leading questions ―Who were you with? How did you feel?‖ By the end of the study, up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick, and many said they’d avoid eating it.When Loftus published her findings, she started getting calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. False memories appear to work only for foods you don’t eat on a regular basis. But most important, it is likely that false memories can be implanted (灌输) only in people who are unaware of the mental control. And lying to a patient is immoral, even if a doctor believes it’s for the patient’s benefit.Loftus says there’s nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children, ―I say, wake up. Parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years, and nobody seems to mind. If they can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that, you might think that’s a more moral lie. Decide that for yourself.‖76. Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions?A. To improve her computer program.B. To find out their attitudes towards food.C. To find out details she can make use of.D. To predict what food they’ll like in the futur e.77. What did Loftus find out from her research?A. People believe what the computer tells them.B. People can be led to believe in something false.C. People tend to forget their childhood experiences.D. People are not always aware of their personalities.78. According to the study, people may stop having a certain food if they______.A. learn it is harmful for healthB. lie to themselves that they don’t want itC. are willing to let doctors control their mindsD. think they once had a bad experience of eating it79. What is the biggest concern with the method?A. Whether it is moral.B. Who it is best for.C. When it is effective.D. How it should be used.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachin general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a– or of people very different from our own – can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most historyfacts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly ―political‖ artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros – as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins –depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness aboutreligious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’tof human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.第II卷I. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我们已5年没见面了。

A．Scientific advances and technological progressB．Different local customs and lifestyles of different peoples C．Craftsmanship, mechanics, and technologyD．The artistic tastes of the times and the limitations of available materials【小题2】Why do boys and girls play with different kinds of toys?A．Because they are intended for different social roles and responsibilities．B．Because boys like to invent and girls imitate．C．Because boys play with their fathers while girls their mothers．D．Because they will take up different jobs when they grow up．【小题3】One amazing aspect about the “universality of toys” is______．A．They appeared all over the world almost at the same time in history．B．They have not changed except in craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology．C．Having existed for thousands of years, toys are still found all over the world today．D．They are a kind of art form, which has been promoted by inventiveness．5.—Please go on with your demonstration．—But where was I?—Well, you_____the two chemicals together．A．tried to mixB．were trying to mixC．were trying mixedD．had tried to mix6.The rise of multinational corporations （跨国公司）, global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR．Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, America’s relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries． Ten years ago, for example, the world’s top five public relations agencies were American-owned． In 1991, only one was． The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative． A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate （公司的） planning activities, compared to aboutone-third of U．S． companies． It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR．Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairlyprovincialand take more of an interest in local affairs． Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country． Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts （相对应的人） in knowing a second language． Less than 5 percent of Burson—Marshall’s U．S．employees know two languages． Ogilvy and Mather have about the same percentage． Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language． Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs． In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal． Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country．Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN （Cable News Network）．Turner recently announced that the word “foreign” would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts． According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign．【小题1】Compared with the American PR personnel, what is/are an advantage（s）of the non-Americans involved in PR?A． They tend to be more internationally mindedB． They speak more and better foreign languages．C． They usually pay more attention to global financial situation．D． Both A and B．【小题2】What is the immediate cause of the downfall of America’s public relations? A．The number of US public relations agencies had greatly decreased by 1991．B．Other countries have increased their efforts in public relations．C．On the global scale, cultural differences have significantly shrunk．D．The British companies are becoming especially sophisticated and creative in public relations．【小题3】It could be inferred that the author of the passage is______．A．an AmericanB．a BritonC．Ted TurnerD．an Asian【小题4】The underlined word “provincial” in paragraph 3 could possibly mean “”．A．strict in thinkingB．like people from rural areasC．limited in outlookD．interested in geographical knowledge7.Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese．大洋彼岸有“虎妈”蔡美儿（AmyChua），中国内地现在则“流行”“鹰爸”。

Each word can only be used on ce. Note that there is one word more tha n you n eed.Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body moveme nt, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical 41 is often culturally programmed .In other words, we learn our looks— we are not 42 with the m.A baby has gen erally un formed face features.A baby, according to Birdwhistle, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around—family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, New Englanders or Southerners have certain 43 face features that cannot be 44 by gen etics. The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth; it is 45 after. In fact, the46 mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grow n-ups. A husba nd and wife together for a long time ofte n come to look somewhat 47 . We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more tha n those in other areas. In the Un ited States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most 48 . In New England they smile less, and in the western part ofNew York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madis on Ave nue smile less tha n people on Peachtree Street in Atla nta.

To be huma n is to think. But thi nking may come n aturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When you think critically, you take con trol of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be con trolled by the ideas of others. In deed, critical thinking is at the heart of educatio n.The word “ critical ” here has a special mea nin g. It does not meanetaHewg on aga inst ano ther view, as whe n some one criticizes ano ther pers on for doing someth ing wrong. The n ature of critical thi nking is thinking bey ond the easily seen— bey ond the picture on TV, the un true reports in the n ewspapers, and the faulty reas oning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reas oning are processes of deep and careful thinking. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today?s world: fast food, ins tant coffee, and self-develop ing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligenee, you may learn something new from astory about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, he was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffma n at ease by say ing, “ Please go slowly, I don't un dersta nd thi ngs quickly.69.

Regulations on pesticide production and sales, 44 random checks on pesticide quality, should be 45 ," according to the plan.The statement follows a recent food scandal in which a banned pesticide was found in some cowpeas （豇豆）grown in Hainan province that were sold in several parts of the country, including Hubei, Guangdong, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.The plan, which requires increased supervision of fresh dairy products, also proposed a clampdown（取缔）on 46 purchasing stations as well as severe punishments for the use of the banned medications malachite green （孔雀石绿）in the aquaculture（水产养殖）industry. Other points include banning illegal food additives, improving food production and processing, as well as the importing and exporting of food.The work plan has brought food production and processing into focus and placed an 47 on establishing the accountability of the food safety system."Any governmental department that fails to fulfill its duty should be 48 punished. Responsible persons 49 with late and concealed reports on food safety accidents will be called to account," the plan stated.III. Reading Comprehension (15 分)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Email has had a good run as king of communications. But its leading position is over. In its place, a new 50 of services is starting to take hold -- services like Twitter and Facebook and countless others competing for a piece of the new world.Years ago, we were 51 if it took a few days for a letter to arrive. A couple of years ago, we'd complain about a half-hour 52 in getting an email. Today, we make complaints about it taking an extra few seconds for a text message to 53 . In a few months, we may be complaining that our cell phones aren't automatically able to send 54 to friends within a certain distance, letting them know we're nearby. (A number of services already do this.)These new services also make communicating more 55 and informal -- more like a blog comment or a throwaway aside, rather than a crafted email sent to one person. No need to spend time 56 a long email to your half-dozen closest friends about how your vacation went. Now those friends, if they're interested, can watch it unfold in real time online. 57 sending a few emails a week to a handful of friends, you can send dozens of messages a day to hundreds of people who know you, or just 58 do.But the 59 and ease of communication cut both ways. While making communication more frequent, they can also make it less 60 and intimate. Communicating is becoming so easy that the recipient knows how little time and thought was required of the sender. Yes, your half-dozen closest friends can read your vacation updates. But so can your 500 other friends. And if you know all these people are 61 your updates, you might say a lot less than you would otherwise.That can make it harder to determine the 62 of various messages. In the new messaging world, you have a lot of personal information, packed with data you want to share and possibly some you don't. Such information has its pluses and minuses. It can 63 the people communicating closer, allowing them to exchange not only text but also all sorts of personal information, even facial cues. You know a lot about the person you are talking to, even before you've ever 64 a single word.50. A. competition B. generation C. comparison D. revolution51.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One day a philosophy professor stood before his class and picked up a large empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks, He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. He then added a box of pebbles (鹅卵石)to the jar, shaking it lightly The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. "Is the jar filled now?" The students said yes.But then he poured a bag of sand into the bottle. The sand filled in everything else. Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.The professor then opened two cans of beer and poured them into the jar. The students roared at this demonstration .The professor spoke again: "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things in your life: your family, your partner, your health, your children... things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full, The pebbles are the other things that matter.., like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else.The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for thepebbles or the rocks,""The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take care of the rocks first. The else is just sand."Then One of the students asked what the beer represented."It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers "65. What do rocks represent according to the passage?A. Things you have to do every day, like cooking and washing.B. Things without which you can't live, like house and jobC. Things that make your life full, like your family, children, partner and health.D. Things that help to relax yourself, like reading and watching TV.66. What can we learn from the passage?A. We should observe carefully when the teacher is doing the experiment.B. Never spend time and energy on the small stuff.C. Beer is necessary for life.D. Take care of the most important things first.67. What do you think of the professor?A. Strict and thoughtful.B. Wise and humorous.C. Distinguished and sociable.D. Pleasant and ridiculous.68. Why did the professor do this demonstration?A. To teach students the philosophy in life.B. To teach them how to put more things into limited spaceC. To show the students when the jar can be called full.D. To make students know the order of doing experiments.（B）Working hard for funNo more pencils! No more booksNo more teacher’s serious looks!After a long period of study and work, the young Americans burst through the school doors singing.But unfortunately, American students do very poorly and are among the worst students in the world. In the entire field of subjects---from geography and maths to science and general knowledge. American students are the poorest performers. Why? What’s the reason behind the scene? One problem lies in the fact that so little is expected from them. The standards of success are too low. Teachers are not willing to give out low grades and fail students. Besides, the existing negative results are few and mean little to students if their performance in study is poor . Of success some students realize that a high school diploma is a measure of success and will be important to get a job or get admitted into college. But they only have to go through the motions without really trying. They learn to get by with a minimum of effort.In America, it is simply too easy for high school students to enter college. This forms a sharp contrast with the students in China and other Asian countries who have to suffer heavy pressure from parents, teachers and cruel social facts. Chinese students have to study hard for long years to pass the national college entrance examination which few Americans will take such trouble to enter to university. The majority American students know that they will be able to get into some college, so they do not really worry about it.It turns out that American high school students are just too busy to find time to study. They spend almost no time on study while students from other countries spend four or five hours per day on homework. American students on the average give less than five hours per week to their studies. Learning and reading for future are not important to them. Many American never read. It is little wonder why Americans knows less than students from other countries.69. Why are American students the poorest performers in the entire field of subjects?A. Because they are too busy to find time to study.B. Because they are too stupid and too lazy.C. Because they care little about their study.D. Because so little is required from them70. Which of the following is Not true ?A. Most of American students spend lees than five hours on their study every week.B. Few American students have trouble to enter college.C. American students can be admitted into college even without a high school diploma.D. It is hard for the students in China to enter college.71. What seems to be the writer’s attitude towards American students?A. He probably thinks much should be expected from them.B. He is in favour of American students’ learning methods.C. He shows no inter est in American students’ study.D. He thinks American students study hard.（C）Farmers in the United States sometimes plant switchgrass as a border crop. But could this tall grass lower the nation’s dependence on foreign oil?The Department of Energy plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to help produce fuels from materials that are not part of the food supply. Growing corn, or maize, for fuel has raised concerns about the supply and cost of corn available for food and animal feed.Fuel made from switchgrass or forestry waste like sawdust(锯屑) is known as cellulosic(有纤维质的) ethanol(酒精). Department officials say it contains more energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases than ethanol made from corn. Switchgrass is also easier to grow.Last month, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study of switchgrass grown on low-quality land. Government scientist Ken Vogel was the lead author. The study says the switchgrass produced five times more energy than was needed to grow it. Also, it says switchgrass, over its lifetime from crop to fuel, produces much less carbon compared to gasoline.Fossil fuels like oil take carbon from the ground and release it as waste gas when the fuel is burned. Biofuels(生物燃料) like corn and cellulosic ethanol also produce greenhouse gases, through growing crops and making the fuel. The difference is that biofuels remove carbon from the atmosphere through the growth of the feedstock, the material for the fuel.Science magazine just published two studies of biofuels and the heat-trapping gases that scientists link to climate change. One of the reports notes that most studies have found thatsubstituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse gases.But it says the earlier studies failed to count the carbon released into the atmosphere as farmers worldwide react to higher prices. They are clearing forests and grasslands to make way for new cropland to replace the grain used for biofuels. Doing so can release much of the carbon stored in the plants and soil, and sacrifice future storage.The study found that corn-based ethanol could increase greenhouse gases for years from land use change. And it found that biofuels from switchgrass, if grown on American corn land, could also increase emissions, though by less.The study team, led by Timothy Searchinger at Princeton University, says the result shows the value of using waste products for fuel. The other report says carbon savings depend on how biofuels are produced.72．Switchgrass is a better fuel than corn in all the following aspects except .A．switchgrass grows on low–quality landB．switchgrass produces more energy than cornC．switchgrass produces fewer greenhouse gases than cornD．swiotchgrass is easier to grow73．It is implied in the underlined sentence that .A．an increasing number of people worry about the use of corn as fuelB．there will be an increase in price of corn for food if it is used as fuelC．there will be an decrease in quantity of corn for food if it is used as fuelD．all the above choices are right74．Biofuels produces much less carbon compared to Fossil fuels in that .A．biofuels produce less greenhouse gases than fossil fuelsB．fossil fuels release carbon while biofuels not when burningC．biofuels take in carbon from the air when they are growingD．biofuels produce greenhouse gases only when they are burning75．The passage indicates that .A．we’d better make full use of biofuels to protect the environmentB．the value of using biofuels remains to be further studiedC．it’s costless to grow biofeulsD．biofuels are just switchgrass and cornSection C: （5 分）Directions:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. __________________Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy: there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expens ive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity.77.___________________Firstly, listen to their question. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’ve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that,I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.78.__________________Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time ” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.79.__________________Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behaviour. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn’t make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want within as few words as possible so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.80.__________________Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson. Children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass, and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.Section D （8 分）Direction: Rea the following passage carefully . Then answer the questions or complete the statement in the fewest possile words.( 注意：该部分的答案请填写在答题纸的相应部分) Consistent with evidence that physical attractiveness is related to obtaining employment and promotion, more attractive employees also have been found to enjoy more economic success in their careers. A recent study looked at the careers of 2,500 law students from a famous law school in the United States. An independent group of raters(评估人) rated the students' appearance on a scale from one to five. Five years after graduation, those of above-average attractiveness were earning eight to nine percent more than those of below-average attractiveness. After 15 years, those of above-average appearance were earning 12 to 13 percent more.The research on attractiveness and salaries also suggests that attractiveness is more consistently related to economic success for men than for women. Roszell, Kennedy, and Grabb (1989) examined the relationship of attractiveness to income gaining for over 1,000 Canadians. Attractive persons earned higher annual salaries than less attractive persons. With each increase in rated attractiveness on a five-point scale of attractiveness, the 1981 annual income of the respondent (应答者,被测者)increased by $1,988. After controlling for respondent gender, the gender composition of the job, and 1979 salary, this figure dropped to 1,046 but was still statistically significant. This relationship was found among men, older employees, and those engaged in male-dominated occupations, but not among women, younger employees, and those in female-dominated occupations.Two studies at the University of Pittsburgh have provided further evidence that good looks pay. In one study, Good, Olson, and Frieze (1986) used height, weight, and body mass (weight relative to height) as indicators of physical attractiveness. They surveyed over 2,000 M.B.A. graduates of the University of Pittsburgh who graduated between 1973 and 1982. For men, weight but not height was found to predict starting salary, and both height and weight predicted the current (1983) salary. However, neither of these variables predicted the starting and current salary of the women in the sample. For each one-inch increase in height, the salary of the men was $600 higher.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical 41 is often culturally programmed.In other words, we learn our looks — we are not 42 with them.A baby has generally unformed face features.A baby, according to Birdwhistle, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around —family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, New Englanders or Southerners have certain 43 face features that cannot be 44 by genetics. The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth; it is 45 after. In fact, the46 mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to looksomewhat 47 . We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most 48 . In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. People in 49 populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than do people in small towns.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Your cell phone holds secrets about you. Besides the names and 50 that you‟ve programmed into it, traces of your DNA remain on it, according to a new study.DNA is genetic material that appears in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you 51 you have an identical twin. Scientists today routinely analyze DNA in blood, saliva (唾液, or hair 52 behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify 53 and their victims. Your cell phone can 54 more about you than you might think.Meghan J. McFadden, a scientist at McMaster University1in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect(嫌疑犯bled onto a cell phone and later dropped the 55 . This made her wonder whether traces of DNA remained on cell phones ___ even when no blood was involved.56 she and colleague Margaret Wallace of the City University of New York analyzed the flip-open phones(翻盖手机 of 10 volunteers. They used swabs(药签 to collect57 traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, and the58 , which is placed at the user‟s ear.The scientists scrubbed the phones using a solution made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to 59 all detectable (可查明的 traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back for another week. 60 the researchers collected the phones and repeated the swabbing of each phone once more.The scientists discovered DNA that 61 to the phone‟s owner on each of the phones. Better samples were collected from the outside of each phone, but those swabs also 62 DNA of other people who had apparently also handled the phone. 63 , DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were scrubbed. That suggests that washing won‟t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal‟s device. So cell phones can now be added to the 64 of clues that can settle a crime-scene investigation.50.

A. explanation B. list C. book D. discoverySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A“My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy,” says a second-grade teacher in Sa ugus, California. “Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course.” These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP, a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and more.The children don't just plan any city. They map and analyze the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and predict its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. “Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom,” says the teacher who developed this program. “They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, becausethere are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected “official” and “planning group” makes all t he design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.”CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the children's own standards.65. The Program is designed to __________.A. direct kids to build solar collectorsB. train young scientists for city planningC. develop children's problem-solving abilitiesD. train kids to be future architects66. An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom to ___________.A. find out kids' creative ideasB. discuss with the teacherC. give children lecturesD. help kids with their program67. Who is the designer of the program?A. An official.B. An architect.C. A teacher.D. A scientist.68. The children feel free in the program because they _____________.A. can design future buildings themselvesB. have new ideas and rich imaginationC. are given enough time to design modelsD. need not worry about making mistakes(BThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking on e view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen — beyond the picture on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful thinking. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today‟s world: fast food, ins tant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from astory about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, he was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly, I don't understand things quickly.”69. According to the passage, if we don‟t think critically, we ___________.A. may not be able think naturallyB. will be controlled by ideas of other peopleC. can control the ideas of othersD. might be fooled by other people70. A critical thinker will ___________.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people for their mistakes71. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The heart of educationB. Understanding critical thinkingC. Thinking fastD. Thinking and intelligence(CLabor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income.This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employers and the bor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community. Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population,there are several other influences which also affect it.The age distribution (分布 of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work,then the available workforce would be lower thanif there were an balanced spread age distribution.If the population naturally grows rapidly, the number of births greatly exceeds (超出 the number of deaths then as a total population increases proportion of the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly,and as people retire from the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it.In that situation the population is top-heavy with older people.So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate.The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy.If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group.If the aged are to be cared for in special homes,finance must be available for that purpose.If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population,then the government tax revenue(税收 is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.72.In the passage “labor force” is defined as ___________.A.people who are available to work and earn incomeB.self-employed people onlyC.people who are looking for an employmentD.employers who create job opportunities73.The conclusion which can be drawn from the second paragraph isthat___________.A.a natural growth of population leads to a balanced workforceB.a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforceC.the larger the population,the higher the proportion of the workforceD.the workforce will be lower, if the population has a balanced age distribution,74.When a population is said to be aging,___________.A.there are more people retiring than those entering the workforceB.the birth rate must be growingC.there should be an oversupply of workforceD.There are more people entering the workforce than those retiring75.The population which is top-heavy with older people ___________ of a country.A.leads to the high rate of unemploymentB.results in low tax on the workforce membersC.affects employees‟ incomesD.places pressure on the economySection CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.(DA. Promise behaviorsB. Attitude beats experienceC. Job-winning qualitiesD. Employer and employee relationE. Stable career choicesF. Importance of teamwork skillsDespite the economy, experts advice students to major in what interests them.76.Aware of the worst job market in more than 25 years, many students enrolling in colleges and universities this fall are considering majors that they believe will land them stable career. Students with degrees in nursing, health care, accounting, computer, general science and engineering report the most success in finding jobs. Those with degrees in finance, journalism, graphic design, and international relations have had tougher times, liberal arts graduates also struggle.77.Still career experts say students should major in whatever area most interests them, even if it‟s a less specialized liberal arts field, such as Chinese and or sociology. In a national survey, communication, followed closely by a strong work ethic and team work skills, was rated at the most important qualit ies sought by employers. “Liberal arts teaches us how to learn. When we go out into the world of work, we are going to have to continue to learn,” said Dan Naegeli, director of the university of North Texas career center.78.Texas Health Resources uses a wide range of workers at its 14 hospitals and other sites. The 18,000 employees company hires about 2000 people a year. It looks for candidates with “promise (有前途的behaviors,” human resource director Justin Clem said.“The resume is great… Education is wonderful,” Clem said. “But when we interview, we really want to look at situations they were put into the past, what actions they took, and what were the results. Do these results really support treating other people with courtesy dignity and respect? And co mmunicating clearly and earning people‟s trust? And thinking before they act?”79.The company also looks for people who have record of providing service, said Janaelle Nowne, vice president of human resource. If a student mowed lawns or workedat a fast-f ood restaurant, she said, “ the things that we would want to hear is how you attended to providing service to people that you were working with and how you were attending to the quality of the products that you have. ”“Experience is always helpful, but it is not always the guarantee that person is going to get the job,” she added. “We look at the behaviors and the attitude they bring in and their willingness to be a part of the team.”80.Lockheed Martin has all sorts of jobs in all sorts of fields. One of the skills recruiters consider isthe ability to work in teams.“Most of what w e do is problem solving, and you get people with different kinds of skills together to solve the problem,” said Norman Robbins, senior manager community relations. “If you are real bright but you can‟t get along with anybody, you‟re not going to be as succ essful as you will be if you can work in teams.”Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less creative, someho w. When there‟s nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on the TV.One father, for example, says, “When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and gam es. We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, …I have nothing to do!‟” He compares this with his own children today:“They‟re simply lazy. If someone doesn‟t entertain them, they‟ll happily sit there watching TV all day.”There is one word for this father‟s disappointment: unfair. It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplores(哀叹 his chi ldren‟s lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something in nate(天生的 that his children are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play — to imagine, to invent, to elaborate (描述 on reality in a playful way — and the ability to gain fulfillment from it, these are skills that have to be learned and developed.Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive. Sensing their parents‟ disappointment, children come t o believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people.81. According to many parents, without TV, their children would ask them to___________.82. Why is it unfair for the father to blame his children for not being able to entertain themselves?83. When parents show constant disappointment in their children, the destructive effect is that the children will___________.84. According to the author, in what way can children‟s self-confidence be developed?第II卷(45分I.

posthumous（死后的）one．Earlier that day, pop music’s former queen w as found dead in her hotel room．She was 48．This, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world, __42__ what a legendary life and remarkable career that she once had．At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music world．From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world’s43 artists．She strongly impressed the audiences with effortless, powerful and peerless vocals．Besides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing, and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You．She also 44 a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey．But by the end of her career, it was a 45 fall for this superstar．Houston has been addicted to drugs．Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming．Her once calm and peaceful image was shattered by a wild manner and unusual public appearances, and her once natural voice became rough and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes as she 46 ．“The biggest devil is me．I’m either my best friend or my worst enemy,” Houston told the ABC in an interview in 2002．In 2009, Houston staged what seemed to be a successful 47 with the album I Look To You, which debuted on top of the charts．But hoarse voice, 48 concerts, and continuous illness–Houston’s comeback trail wasn’t smooth at all．In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, Houston confessed: “It （show business）is too much．So much to try to live up to, to try to be, and I wanted out．”Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest 49 ．III．Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of 50 , teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become．You 51 know who these people maybe （possibly your roommate,neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger）, but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some 52 way．And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful．and unfair at first, but __53__you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart．Everything happens for a reason．Nothing happens 54 or by means of good luck．Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul．55 these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere．It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly 56 ．The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become．Even the 57 experiences can be learned from．In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones．If someone hurts you, 58 you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart．If someone loves you, love them back 59 , not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your 60 and eyes to things．Make every day count．61 every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again．Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen．Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high．Hold your head up because you have 62 right to．Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you．You can make of your life anything you wish．Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no 63 ．Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have 64 ．And

Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．（A）The rise of multinational corporations （跨国公司）, global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR．Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, America’s relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries．Ten years ago, for example, the world’s top five public relations agencies were American-owned．In 1991, only one was．The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative．A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate （公司的）planning activities, compared to about one-third of U．S．companies．It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR．Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs．Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country．Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts （相对应的人）in knowing a second language．Less than 5 percent of Burson—Marshall’s U．S．employees know two languages．Ogilvy and Mather have about the same percentage．Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language．Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs．In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal．Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country．Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN （Cable News Network）．Turner recently announced that the word “foreign” would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts．According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign．65．Compared with the American PR personnel, what is/are an advantage（s）of the non-Americans involved in PR?A．They tend to be more internationally mindedB．They speak more and better foreign languages．C．They usually pay more attention to global financial situation．D．Both A and B．66．What is the immediate cause of the downfall of America’s public relations?A．The number of US public relations agencies had greatly decreased by 1991．B．Other countries have increased their efforts in public relations．C．On the global scale, cultural differences have significantly shrunk．D．The British companies are becoming especially sophisticated and creative in public relations．67．It could be inferred that the author of the passage is______．A．an American B．a BritonC．Ted Turner D．an Asian68．The underlined word “provincial” in paragraph 3 could possibly mean “”．A．strict in thinking B．like people from rural areasC．limited in outlook D．interested in geographical knowledge（B）There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown．They probably came about just to give children something to do．In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another．In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers．This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world．What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same．The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology．It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing．In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic （北极的）peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared．Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings．Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles．Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use．The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent （进步）．The progress from a rattle used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness．Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials．69．Which is a major factor leading to the different variations of toys?A．Scientific advances and technological progressB．Different local customs and lifestyles of different peoplesC．Craftsmanship, mechanics, and technologyD．The artistic tastes of the times and the limitations of available materials70．Why do boys and girls play with different kinds of toys?A．Because they are intended for different social roles and responsibilities．B．Because boys like to invent and girls imitate．C．Because boys play with their fathers while girls their mothers．D．Because they will take up different jobs when they grow up．71．One amazing aspect about the “universality of toys” is______．A．They appeared all over the world almost at the same time in history．B．They have not changed except in craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology．C．Having existed for thousands of years, toys are still found all over the world today．D．They are a kind of art form, which has been promoted by inventiveness．（C）The popular college rankings focus primarily on prestige as measured by the SAT scores of incoming students and how many applicants are turned away．An initiative（措施）started last fall by the Obama administration could help families go beyond these limited, and far too easily exploited, indexes to learn quickly and easily how a college is compared with its competitorsnationally on important criteria like graduation rates, what a degree actually costs and how much debt a student can expect to run up by graduation day．If the federal government makes it legally necessary to disclose this information in a clear and consistent（一贯的）way, as it should, families will be better able to make informed college choices．And this will help put pressure on colleges that perform poorly to improve．Critics may regard this initiative as an example of government overreach．But given that the federal government spends nearly $190 billion a year on higher education aid to students, it has a legitimate interest in making sure that the money flows to the schools that best meet their responsibilities to families and students．Congress has taken some steps to require greater transparency（透明）from colleges．The 1990 Student Right to Know Act, for example, required colleges and universities that receive federal aid to disclose graduation rates．And the 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act required schools to offer a way for consumers to determine actual costs after student aid is taken into account．But many colleges have done a poor job of obeying federal disclosure rules, and much of the available information is not in one place．The administration’s new efforts woul d enforce reporting requirements and provide some new tools．President Obama wants to expand campus-based aid to about $10 billion from the current $2．7 billion．He has proposed moving money away from colleges that fail to control tuition increases or provide good value to others that do a better job．That is a worthy idea in principle, but he will need strong data-based evidence to determine how colleges are doing．The transparency initiatives are a good place to start and should be embraced by both parties in Congress．If students and families, facing higher tuition and rising debt, are to make sound choices, they need more and better information．72．Why did the Obama administration start the initiative last fall?A．To require colleges to make their graduation rates known to the public．B．To help colleges perform better in the future．C．To help parents and students make better choices of colleges．D．To put more pressure on colleges that are not doing well enough．73．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Critics agree that the government should require colleges to obey the disclosure rules．B．Congress has approved and made the transparency initiatives a law．C．SAT scores alone do not determine one’s choice of college．D．Students and families find it very difficult to choose their ideal colleges now．74．A most suitable title for the passage could be______．A．Congress To Require Greater TransparencyB．What College Parents and Students Need to KnowC．What a Good College Is Measured ByD．Parents and Students Need to Make Wise Choices75．What attitude does the author hold towards the transparency initiative?A．supportive B．criticalC．indifferent D．not statedSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．76．__________Lin（Jeremy Shu-How Lin）got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him．They had too many injuries．Baron Davis was gone．The other point guards were out．Carmelo Anthony was injured．Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death．Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed．But he made the most of it．You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life．Often, they’re wh en you least expect them．Make the most of them．Don’t waster them．77．__________Lin isn’t Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant．He’s not a pure scorer．He’s a passer and distributor – who can also score very well．It didn’t work for him in Golden State or Hous ton – where he was before landing at the Knicks．But Mike D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his strengths．You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and then ensure that you’re in a system （a job or organization or industry）that is a good fit for those strengths．Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring to the table．78．__________You probably manage people at your own company today．Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among you now? How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him a new project to run with? How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues? We put people around us in boxes．He’s from Harvard．He’s Asian-American．Not sure he can play．How many assumptions have you made about talent around you? Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent slip through your fingers．With all their money, scouts（球探）, and testing, they didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands．Do you know what your people （or even yourself）are really capable of? Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world．79．__________If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head．It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all this media craze．It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more．80．__________Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting hisskills．There are no short cuts to hard work．Success is a by product of that．If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great．If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom! Get up early, stay up late．Nobody gave Lin any free passes．Why should you get any? You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know．Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words．Hidden deep in our subconscious is an idyllic（牧歌般的，田园诗式的）vision．We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent．We are traveling by train．Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls．But uppermost in our minds is the final destination．On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station．Bands will be playing and flags waving．Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle．How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for hanging around—waiting, waiting, waiting for the station．“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry．“When I’m 18．”; “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!”; “When I put the last kid through college．”; “When I paid off the mortgage!”; “When I get a promotion．”; “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!” Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all．The true joy of life is the trip．The station is only a dream．It constantly outdistances us．“Relish（享受）the moment” is a good motto, es pecially when coupled with Psalm 180: 24: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it．” It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad, it is the regrets over yesterday and fear of tomorrow．Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today．So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles．Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less．Life must be lived as we go along．The station will come soon enough．（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS．）81．What does the author of this passage compare life to?______________________________________________________________________________．82．Hidden in the uppermost part of our minds is_______________________________________．83．Life is made dull and boring by__________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________．84．According to the author, what is the true meaning of life?______________________________________________________________________________．第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets．1．她把毕生奉献于教育。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AWhen someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. ―People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,‖ says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good ―So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.‖So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for anapology. ―Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,‖ says Dr. Luskin. ―They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.‖ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear – even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view,65. The text is mainly written to explain _______.A. how to keep yourself from being hurtB. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to pardon others66. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A. Try to figure out why you get hurt.B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.67. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _______.A. we are not patient enoughB. we’d feel worse accepting others’ apologyC. people never want to apologizeD. people don’t mean it when they apologizeBWe Are Now Open Daily Through Columbus DayThe museum and store are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the season.

No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先，重点) it must be given over general language development and writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.If spelling becomes the only key point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to ―play safe‖. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing not to use adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of di ctionaries and pay attention to content rather than spelling ability only.I was once shocked to read a teacher’s comment on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing: ―This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes!‖ It may have been a s harp criticism of the pupil’s spelling ability in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had failed to read the composition which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his appreciation would have given the pupil more encouragement to seek improvement.72. The underlined expression ―play safe‖ in paragraph two probably means _______.A. to write carefullyB. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequentlyD. not to write words one is not sure of73. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _______.A. they may spend more time teaching writing techniquesB. they may have less trouble in correcting mistakesC. students will have more confidence in writingD. students will learn to be independent of teachers74. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece o f writing is_______.A. reasonableB. unfairC. foolishD. careless75. Teachers are different in their opinions about _______.A. the necessity of teaching spellingB. the role of spelling in general language developmentC. the way of teaching spellingD. the importance of the basic grammarDA study published in September suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods: change their memories. Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvin e asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities and food experiences. ―One week later,‖ Loftus says, ―we told those people we’d fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences.‖ Some accounts included one key additional detail: ―You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream.‖ The researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured (人为促生的) memory through leading questions ―Who were you with? How did you feel?‖ By the end of the study, up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick, and many said they’d avoid eating it.When Loftus published her findings, she started getting calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. False memories appear to work only for foods you don’t eat on a regular basis. But most important, it is likely that false memories can be implanted (灌输) only in people who are unaware of the mental control. And lying to a patient is immoral, even if a doctor believes it’s for the patient’s benefit.Loftus says there’s nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children, ―I say,wake up. Parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years, and nobody seems to mind. If they can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that, you might think that’s a more moral lie. Decide that for yourself.‖76. Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions?A. To improve her computer program.B. To find out their attitudes towards food.C. To find out details she can make use of.D. To predict what food they’ll like in the futur e.77. What did Loftus find out from her research?A. People believe what the computer tells them.B. People can be led to believe in something false.C. People tend to forget their childhood experiences.D. People are not always aware of their personalities.78. According to the study, people may stop having a certain food if they______.A. learn it is harmful for healthB. lie to themselves that they don’t want itC. are willing to let doctors control their mindsD. think they once had a bad experience of eating it79. What is the biggest concern with the method?A. Whether it is moral.B. Who it is best for.C. When it is effective.D. How it should be used.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachin general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a– or of people very different from our own – can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most historyfacts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly ―political‖ artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, thepowerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros – as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins –depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness abouta culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’tof human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.第II卷I. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我们已5年没见面了。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Just before midnight, six University of Cincinnati students were watching TV in an on-campus apartment when three men burst through the door. While one of the intruders pointed a gun at the group, the other two scooped up $4,400 worth of laptops, cell phones, video games and cash. Once they had what they wanted, the trio fled into the night.Furious, the students chased down and tackled one of the burglars -- the one with the gun. In thestruggle, it went off, and a bullet grazed a student's leg. His friends piled on the gunman and held him until police showed up.By the next day, the injured young man was back in his apartment, and the suspect was in jail, charged with burglary, felonious assault and receiving stolen property. But how did the men manage to storm into an on-campus residence that November night in the first place? Simple: Students told police the building's main doors hadn't latched properly for days.As parents confront ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates, they are finding themselves with an even bigger, more basic problem: Which campuses are safe? Colleges seem like idyllic and secure places, and for the most part, they are. But ivy-covered walls can't keep out every bad element. This country's 6,000 colleges and universities report some 40,000 burglaries, 3,700 forcible sex offenses, 7,000 aggravated assaults and 48 murders a year. Other hazards -- fires, binge-drinking, mental-health problems -- are also on the rise.Of course, that's not what parents and students see on America's serene campuses. There's a false sense of security, says Harry Nolan, a safety consultant in New York City. "Students see guards patrolling at night or a video camera monitoring the dorm entrance and think, Nothing bad can happen to me," he explains. "People don't know that safety controls are often very lax."65. What did the students do after the burglars fled into the night?A. They stood there in surprise.B. They ran after the burglars at once.C. They waited for the police.D. They phoned their teacher.66. What does the underlined word “latched” in the third paragraph probably mean?A. watchedB. fixedC. lockedD. kept67. What worries parents most except ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates?A. T heir children’s grades in the universities or colleges.B. Their children’s safety in the universities or colleges.C. Their children’s behavior in the universities or colleges.D. Their children’s relationship with classmates in the universities or col leges.(B)The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water which separates England and France. Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel, and they are busy most of the year. January is the only quiet month nowadays. As well as summer holiday-makers, there are day trippersand coach traffic, not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles. Some ferries carry cars and their passengers, while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network.The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind. The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day. Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station.Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon, according to one ferryboat captain. The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic. This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe. There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time, and they all pass through a “choke point” which is only fifteen miles (twenty-five kilometers) wide. The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic.68. The passage is mainly concerned with _____.A. the English ChannelB. the weather on the ChannelC. cross-channel ferriesD. what crossing the Channel by ferry is like69. The word hazard is closest in meaning to ________.A. troubleB. dangerC. enemyD. problem70. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. if there is a gale warning from the BBC, the ferries will stop operating.B. the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winterC. ferries are busiest in the afternoonD. the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day71. Where does this passage most probably appear?A. In a dictionary.B. In a novel.C. In a transportation magazine.D. In a geography textbook.(C)A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. Jet lag interferes with a person's normal times for sleeping and waking. People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days. They also may have problems thinking clearly and remembering.Kwangwook Cho is a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain. He reported the findings of his jet lag study in the publication Nature Neuroscience.The study involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. The women had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.Mister Cho took some fluid from the women's mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress. He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains using magnetic resonance imaging. This is a way to measure the size of the brain's temporal lobes（颞叶）.It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.Mister Cho says he believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.72. According to the text, jet lag _____.A. can cause difficulties in speakingB. can make people feel tired for a few weeksC. is the illness only found in people who work on the airplanesD. can be caused by flying over several time zones in an airplane73. It is inferred that more tests need to be done because _____.A. the conclusion was questioned by many scientistsB. scientists fear that his research is not done properlyC. every scientific conclusion needs the support from many testsD. the woman who were studied in the research were not healthy74. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the research results?A. Women who have a longer rest at home show better memory.B. Women who fly in short time had smaller right temporal lobes.C. Women who have longer flights failed the memory test.D. Women who rest more than 14 days produced less hormones.75. What is the subject discussed in the test? A. The cause of jet lag.B. A story of a group of flight attendance.C. A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain.D. The importance of having enough rest after long flights.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Even if you do not live in a country where English is the main language. You can take advantage of many opportunities to practice reading in English. By taking advantage of a wide variety of sources, you will come to appreciate the richness and variety of styles that individuals will use to express themselves. 77.If you have never had a chance to read the works of Dickens. Poe, or other classical English writers, you can find some of their works for free online. Among other things, you can download entire novels. You may also want to browse the internet and look for critical reviews of classical materials. This will provide you with an opportunity to see if others interpret the material in the same way.。

BEIJING - The general office of the State Council 41 a plan on Monday to improve national food safety, setting the tone for this year's program, which includes emphasizing the accountability（问责制）of the system.As part of a two-year 42 that began last month, the plan details 11 points for reforming food safety in China, aiming to solve problems and 43 public confidence in the products that are available on the market.One of the points concerned the quality of farm products."Tests on pesticide residues in vegetables, fruits, teas, domestic fungus, animal products and sea food should be enforced. Regulations on pesticide productionand sales, 44 random checks on pesticide quality, should be 45 ," according to the plan.The statement follows a recent food scandal in which a banned pesticide was found in some cowpeas （豇豆）grown in Hainan province that were sold in several parts of the country, including Hubei, Guangdong, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.The plan, which requires increased supervision of fresh dairy products, also proposed a clampdown（取缔）on 46 purchasing stations as well as severe punishments for the use of the banned medications malachite green （孔雀石绿）in the aquaculture（水产养殖）industry.Other points include banning illegal food additives, improving food production and processing, as well as the importing and exporting of food.The work plan has brought food production and processing into focus and placed an 47 on establishing the accountability of the food safety system."Any governmental department that fails to fulfill its duty should be 48 punished. Responsible persons 49 with late and concealed reports on food safety accidents will be called to account," the plan stated. III. Reading Comprehension (15 分)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Email has had a good run as king of communications. But its leading position is over. In its place, a new 50 of services is starting to take hold -- services like Twitter and Facebook and countless others competing for a piece of the new world.Years ago, we were 51 if it took a few days for a letter to arrive. A couple of years ago, we'd complain about a half-hour 52 in getting an email. Today, we make complaints about it taking an extra few seconds for a text message to 53 . In a few months, we may be complaining that our cell phones aren't automatically able to send 54 to friends within a certain distance, letting them know we're nearby. (A number of services already do this.)These new services also make communicating more 55 and informal -- more like a blog comment or a throwaway aside, rather than a crafted email sent to one person. No need to spend time 56 a long email to your half-dozen closest friends about how your vacation went. Now those friends, if they're interested, can watch it unfold in real time online. 57 sending a few emails a week to a handful of friends, you can send dozens of messages a day to hundreds of people who know you, or just 58 do.But the 59 and ease of communication cut both ways. While making communication more frequent, they can also make it less 60 and intimate. Communicating is becoming so easy that the recipient knows how little time and thought was required of the sender. Yes, your half-dozen closest friends can read your vacation updates. But so can your 500 other friends. And if you knowall these people are 61 your updates, you might say a lot less than you would otherwise.That can make it harder to determine the 62 of various messages. In the new messaging world, you have a lot of personal information, packed with data you want to share and possibly some you don't. Such information has its pluses and minuses. It can 63 the people communicating closer, allowing them to exchange not only text but also all sorts of personal information, even facial cues.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One day a philosophy professor stood before his class and picked up a large empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks, He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. He then added a box of pebbles (鹅卵石)to the jar, shaking it lightly The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. "Is the jar filled now?" The students said yes.But then he poured a bag of sand into the bottle. The sand filled in everything else. Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.The professor then opened two cans of beer and poured them into the jar. The students roared at this demonstration .The professor spoke again: "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things in your life: your family, your partner, your health, your children... things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full, The pebbles are the other things that matter.., like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else.The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks,""The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.. Play with your children. T ake time to get medical checkups. Take care of the rocks first. The else is just sand."Then One of the students asked what the beer represented."It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers "65. What do rocks represent according to the passage?A. Things you have to do every day, like cooking and washing.B. Things without which you can't live, like house and jobC. Things that make your life full, like your family, children, partner and health.D. Things that help to relax yourself, like reading and watching TV.66. What can we learn from the passage?A. We should observe carefully when the teacher is doing the experiment.B. Never spend time and energy on the small stuff.C. Beer is necessary for life.D. T ake care of the most important things first.67. What do you think of the professor?A. Strict and thoughtful.B. Wise and humorous.C. Distinguished and sociable.D. Pleasant and ridiculous.68. Why did the professor do this demonstration?A. To teach students the philosophy in life.B. To teach them how to put more things into limited spaceC. To show the students when the jar can be called full.D. To make students know the order of doing experiments. （B）Working hard for funNo more pencils! No more booksNo more teacher’s serious looks!After a long period of study and work, the young Americans burst through the school doors singing.But unfortunately, American students do very poorly and are among the worst students in the world. In the entire field of subjects---from geography and maths to science and general knowledge. American students are the poorest performers. Why? What’s the reason behind the scene? One problem lies in the fact that so little is expected from them. The standards of success are too low. Teachers are not willing to give out low grades and fail students. Besides, the existing negative results are few and mean little to students if their performance in study is poor . Of success some students realize that a high school diploma is a measure of success and will be important to get a job or get admitted into college. But they only have to go through the motions without really trying.They learn to get by with a minimum of effort.In America, it is simply too easy for high school students to enter college. This forms a sharp contrast with the students in China and other Asian countries who have to suffer heavy pressure from parents, teachers and cruel social facts. Chinese students have to study hard for long years to pass the national college entrance examination which few Americans will take such trouble to enter to university. The majority American students know that they will be able to get into some college, so they do not really worry about it.It turns out that American high school students are just too busy to find time to study. They spend almost no time on study while students from other countries spend four or five hours per day on homework. American students on the average give less than five hours per week to their studies. Learning and reading for future are not important to them. Many American never read. It is little wonder why Americans knows less than students from other countries. 69. Why are American students the poorest performers in the entire field of subjects?A. Because they are too busy to find time to study.B. Because they are too stupid and too lazy.C. Because they care little about their study.D. Because so little is required from them70. Which of the following is Not true ?A. Most of American students spend lees than five hours on their study every week.B. Few American students have trouble to enter college.C. American students can be admitted into college even without a high school diploma.D. It is hard for the students in China to enter college.71. What seems to be the writer’s attitude towards American students?A. He probably thinks much should be expected from them.B. He is in favour of American students’ learning methods.C. He shows no intere st in American students’ study.D. He thinks American students study hard. （C）Farmers in the United States sometimes plant switchgrass as a border crop. But could this tall grass lower the nation’s dependence on foreign oil?The Department of Energy plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to help produce fuels from materials that are not part of the food supply. Growing corn, or maize, for fuel has raised concerns about the supply and cost of corn available for food and animal feed.Fuel made from switchgrass or forestry waste like sawdust(锯屑) is known as cellulosic(有纤维质的) ethanol(酒精). Department officials say it contains more energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases than ethanol made from corn. Switchgrass is also easier to grow.Last month, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study of switchgrass grown on low-quality land. Government scientist Ken Vogelwas the lead author. The study says the switchgrass produced five times more energy than was needed to grow it. Also, it says switchgrass, over its lifetime from crop to fuel, produces much less carbon compared to gasoline.Fossil fuels like oil take carbon from the ground and release it as waste gas when the fuel is burned. Biofuels(生物燃料) like corn and cellulosic ethanol also produce greenhouse gases, through growing crops and making the fuel. The difference is that biofuels remove carbon from the atmosphere through the growth of the feedstock, the material for the fuel.Science magazine just published two studies of biofuels and the heat-trapping gases that scientists link to climate change. One of the reports notes that most studies have found that substituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse gases.But it says the earlier studies failed to count the carbon released into the atmosphere as farmers worldwide react to higher prices. They are clearing forests and grasslands to make way for new cropland to replace the grain used for biofuels. Doing so can release much of the carbon stored in the plants and soil, and sacrifice future storage.The study found that corn-based ethanol could increase greenhouse gases for years from land use change. And it found that biofuels from switchgrass, if grown on American corn land, could also increase emissions, though by less. The study team, led by Timothy Searchinger at Princeton University, says the result shows the value of using waste products for fuel. The other report says carbon savings depend on how biofuels are produced.72．Switchgrass is a better fuel than corn in all the following aspects except .A．switchgrass grows on low–quality landB．switchgrass produces more energy than cornC．switchgrass produces fewer greenhouse gases than cornD．swiotchgrass is easier to grow73．It is implied in the underlined sentence that .A．an increasing number of people worry about the use of corn as fuelB．there will be an increase in price of corn for food if it is used as fuelC．there will be an decrease in quantity of corn for food if it is used as fuelD．all the above choices are right74．Biofuels produces much less carbon compared to Fossil fuels in that . A．biofuels produce less greenhouse gases than fossil fuelsB．fossil fuels release carbon while biofuels not when burningC．biofuels take in carbon from the air when they are growingD．biofuels produce greenhouse gases only when they are burning75．The passage indicates that .A．we’d better make full use of biofuels to protect the environmentB．the value of using biofuels remains to be further studiedC．it’s costless to grow biofeulsD．biofuels are just switchgrass and cornSection C: （5 分）Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Encourage children to talk and think.B. Show the children how things work.C. Have patience while teaching.D. Share the children’s curiosity.E. Listen to children’s questions before explaining.F. Frequently give children a push so as to help them learn better.76. __________________Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy: there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity.77.___________________Firstly, listen to their question. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’ve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.78.__________________Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time ” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.79.__________________Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behaviour. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “Think”.It doesn’t make sense, childre n are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want within as few words as possible so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.80.__________________Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson. Children can learn from a book or a televisionprogram. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass, and they’ll u nderstand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop. Section D （8 分）Direction: Rea the following passage carefully . Then answer the questions or complete the statement in the fewest possile words.( 注意：该部分的答案请填写在答题纸的相应部分)Consistent with evidence that physical attractiveness is related to obtaining employment and promotion, more attractive employees also have been found to enjoy more economic success in their careers. A recent study looked at the careers of 2,500 law students from a famous law school in the United States. An independent group of raters(评估人) rated the students' appearance on a scale from one to five. Five years after graduation, those of above-average attractiveness were earning eight to nine percent more than those of below-average attractiveness. After 15 years, those of above-average appearance were earning 12 to 13 percent more.The research on attractiveness and salaries also suggests that attractiveness is more consistently related to economic success for men than for women. Roszell, Kennedy, and Grabb (1989) examined the relationship of attractiveness to income gaining for over 1,000 Canadians. Attractive persons earned higher annual salaries than less attractive persons. With each increase in rated attractiveness on a five-point scale of attractiveness, the 1981 annual income of the respondent (应答者,被测者) increased by $1,988. After controlling for respondent gender, the gender composition of the job, and 1979 salary, this figure dropped to 1,046 but was still statistically significant. This relationship was found among men, older employees, and those engaged in male-dominated occupations, but not among women, younger employees, and those in female-dominated occupations.Two studies at the University of Pittsburgh have provided further evidence that good looks pay. In one study, Good, Olson, and Frieze (1986) used height, weight, and body mass (weight relative to height) as indicators of physical attractiveness. They surveyed over 2,000 M.B.A. graduates of the University of Pittsburgh who graduated between 1973 and 1982. For men, weight but not height was found to predict starting salary, and both height and weight predicted the current (1983) salary. However, neither of these variables predicted the starting and current salary of the women in the sample. For each one-inch increase in height, the salary of the men was $600 higher. Overweight men earned $4,000 less in salary than those of normal weight.81.
