It sometimes means to make a calculation about the future which is based not on exact data（数据）but on past experience．This kind of estimate has some basis, but it generally has to be changed and corrected later．When you estimate a number, a temperature, or a weight, you do not count things one by one or use a measuring tool．You look at a group of things without counting them and try to get a rough, general idea of their number, or you try to weigh something in your hand instead of on a balance．You feel hot and say “My temperature must be 38 degrees” or you look at a room and say that you estimate its area as 10+8 feet．But in many situations in ordinary life we do not have time to measure things and must depend on estimates．Drivers do not have time to measure the distance between their own car and a car which is coming near．They must guess it; the guess or estimate will be based on their past experience．Experienced cooks do not trouble to measure the amount of salt they put into the soup or sugar they mix with flour．Suppose a man comes into the house and says, “There are two inches of snow on the road．” His statement is only an estimate, but we believe it because we think that it is roughly correct．We put our boots on before we go into the snow．For practical purposes in some situations it is safe to make an estimate, but in other situations it is obviously dangerous．If it is your job to weigh drugs or make airplanes, do not depend onguessing but use an accurate（精确的）instrument．60．The writer suggests that in our daily life an estimate is _____．A．usually corrected by further dataB．often checked by instrumentsC．not accepted by othersD．often made according to one’s past experience61．According to the passage, measuring instruments are not always used in measuring things in everyday life because _____．A．people generally do not carry them alongB．it is more reliable to guess than to measureC．they are not always ready when you need themD．people are busy and a general idea of things is enough62．We can know from the person’s statement on snow that _____．A．he wants to inform people that it’s snowing heavilyB．it is necessary to depend on estimatesC．his estimate is quite exactD．it is likely that he has measured the level of the snow63．The writer thinks that depending on estimates _____．A．may save us both time and moneyB．may bring us a sense of safetyC．does not always keep us out of dangerD．is practical but dangerousCIf you can’t catch the bad guy, it’s game over-----this is the rule of life for computer game players．But similar thoughts might be worrying US president George W．Bush as he prepares for the election year with the world’s most wanted man still out of his reach．The hunt for Laden has been going on since the att ack on New York’s World Trade Center on September 11, 2001．Progress has been slow and, with John Kerry winning the race last Tuesday to compete against Bush in November’s presidential elections, the president needs results．“If Laden can be caught before the presidential election, Bush will get an upper hand,” a senior US official told the New York Times．The American public’s support for the war in Iraq has been falling, especially as the Bush government cannot find the banned weapons it said were in the country．But the way in which the president’s popularity rose following the arrest of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in December shows how useful the capture of Laden would be．The latest information suggests the election will be close, with 48 percent of Americans saying they will vote for Bush and 46 percent backing Kerry．In order to seize Laden, thousands of US soldiers were moved from Iraq to Afghanistan earlier this week, according to a US official Further efforts have been made to strengthen Afg hanistan’s border area with Pakistan, with soldiers checking nearby villages more frequently than before．64．The American presidential election will be held between _____and ____．A．George W Bush; Jimmy Carter B．John Kerry; Thomas JeffersonC．George W Bush; John Kerry D．George Bush; John Kerry65．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．The arrest of Saddam did Bush some good．B．The American soldiers have sent Laden to prison．C．The arrest of Laden will make no difference to the election．D．Laden may hide himself far away from the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan 66．We can infer from the passage that _____．A．it’s difficult to catch LadenB．Bush will lose the presidential electionC．Americans didn’t set out to catch Laden until 2003D．American presidential election will take place in October67．What does the underlined word “banned” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Advanced. B．Dangerous．C．Forbidden D．Expensive．D“Regardless of social class, race and age, men say they hate to shop,” says Zukin, City University of New York sociology professor．“Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop．Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware．But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they’ll say, ‘Well, that’s not shopping．That’s research．’ “In other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different．Women will wander through several 1,000-aquare-meter stores in search of the perfect party dress．Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder（摄录像一体机）．Women see shopping as a social event．Men see it as a special task or a game to be won．“Men are frequently shopping to win,” says Ann, a marketing professor a t Loyola University of Chicago．“They want to get the best deal．They want to get the best one, the latest one and if they do that it makes them happy．” When women shop, “They’re doing it in away that they want everybody to be very happy,” says Ann．“They’re kind of shopping for love．”Teenage girls learn to shop from their moms and older sisters, but they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” City University Zukin says．“And although men’s magazines such as GQ and Esquire have long had shopping articles, it’s TV that has the eye of young male shoppers,” say Ann and Zukin．“Television shows are used by young men in the same way Seventeen magazine or Lucky is used by girls,” says Zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry（化妆品）choices．”“Of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” Loyola’s Ann says．And that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan．All men love to buy but don’t want to get cheatef. Ann adds, “There actually are men who are int erested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home-----they become kind of girl magnets．Women like it．”68．From the first paragraph we can find that _____．A．men are all dishonest B．men are all book-loversC．men hate to shop actually D．men like to shop in fact69．Compared to women, men usually treat shopping _____．A．honestly B．seriously C．frequently D．foolishly70．A．As is shown in this passage, teenage girls go shopping _____．A．only with their moms B．only with their sistersC．often following magazines D．often following TV shows71．The underlined work “magnets” in the last paragraph means _____．A．magazines that attract young womenB．persons that have a powerfulattractionC．tools that can help housewives muchD．vegetables that make women beautifulERules for the University Entrance ExaminationYou must be at the examination center ten minutes before the examination starts．If you are more than ten minutes late, you may not enter the examination center．The examination takes place at the same time in different states．You must have proof of your name and grade as well as official examination number．Show these when you come to the examination center．Depending on which examination you are taking you may bring certain items into the examination center．Mathematics examinations may allow you to use electronic calculators（计算器）．Other subjects may allow you to use dictionaries and other reference material．Please read the notes sent with your time table carefully．You must bring your own pencils．None will be provided for you．The following items are not allowed in the examination center: walkmans and radios, head sets, any food or drink, school bags, electronic equipment （unless specifically permitted for various subjects）, and mobile phones．Once in the center, you must sit at the desk with your examination number on it．When you sit down, place your examination number at the to corner of your desk．You must remain silent during the examination．You must not disturb other people who are taking the test．If you need a drink or toilet break, you should raise your hand and wait for the supervisor（监督者）to speak to you．You will be given water or the supervisor will take you to the bathroom．You are not allowed to talk with anyone during the break．You must write your answers in the official answer sheet．Your supervisor will provide extra paper if you wish to make notes．You may leave the examination room at any time if you do not plan to return, If you finish early and want to leave well away from the examination center．The supervisor will warn you fifteen minutes, five minutes and one minute before the end of the examination．When the supervisor says that the time is up you must put down your pencil and wait at your desk until your paper is collected．72．What kind of examination are these rules probably for?A．A local exam．B．A final exam．C．A college exam．D．A national exam．73．What are you allowed to have with you when you take mathematics examination?A．Related material．B．Proof of yourself．C．A cell phone．D．A dictionary．74．What should you do if you finish the test early and want to get a better result?A.Take some notes carefully．B．Leave the room immediately．C．Remain in your seat and check again．D．Raise your hand to inform your teacher．75．What can be provided for you during the exam?A．Pencils．B．Food and drink．C．Extra paper．D．Calculators．第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）A smart card is a card that is carried with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip that is not programmable．The microprocessor card can add, delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing．Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information．In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used．Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:IC （Integrated Circuit）Microprocessor Cards Microprocessor Cards （chip cards）offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do．Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things．Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity．Some examples of these cards are:Cards that hold money．Cards that provide safe access to a network．Cards that allow setting stop boxes on televisions to remain safe from privacy．Optical Memory Cards Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top．Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories．Today, these have no processors in them （although this is coming in the near future）．While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the card readers are expensive．76 77 78 79 8081 82 83 84 85第二节书面表达你的英文老师让你准备一篇发言稿，就污染问题在英语课上谈谈你的看法。
