The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that theirhearts do not lose their pumping power with age. "We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20--25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,”said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70,one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,”said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process."What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's." This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80,focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.1. The underlined word “longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ______.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect2. The text mainly talks about ______.A. men's heart cellsB. women's ageing process、C. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life3. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _________.A. women have more cells than men when they are bornB. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC. the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD. women never lose their pumping power with age4. If you want to live longer, you should __________.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthyD. prevent your cells from being lost(B)Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like , mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk withoutmilk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫⼈)found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling”as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born .5.This passage mainly discusses __________. .A. the history of tea drinking in BritainB. how tea became a popular drink in BritainC. how the Britons got the habit of drinking teaD. how tea-time was born6.Tea became a popular drink in Britain ___________. .A. in the eighteenth centuryB. in the sixteenth centuryC. in the seventeenth centuryD. in the late seventeenth century7.People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because _________.A. it tasted like milkB. it tasted more pleasantC. it became a popular drinkD. Madame de Sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to copythe way she drank tea8.We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to theinfluence of __________. .A. a famous French ladyB. the ancient ChineseC. the upper(上层的) social classD. people in Holland(C)There are some special traditions in Hawaii. People are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They give visitors a lei(花环) along necklace of beautiful fresh flowers. Men wear bright flowered shirts, and women often wear long flowered dresses. There are traditional Chinese, Japanese and Filipino holidays and all the holidays from the United States. They call Hawaii the Aloha State. Aloha means both hello and goodbye. It also means “I love you”. Usually when people from different countries, races, and traditions live together, there are serious problems. There are a few problems in Hawaii, but in general, people have learned to live together in peace.Hawaiians earn most of their money from travelers and most of the travelers come from the mainland and from Japan. There are many people living in Hawaii now so there are residential areas where there used to be farms. Some of the big sugar and pineapple companies have moved to the Philippines, where they do not have to pay workers as much money. The families of the first people who came from the U.S. mainland own the important banks and companies. Japanese are also buying or starting businesses here.9. The special tradition in Hawaii includes______.A. giving visitors a lei of beautiful fresh flowers.B. Men wear bright flowered shirtsC. Women often wear long flowered dressesD. All of the above.10.

Some big sugar and pineapple companies have moved to PhilippinesC. Japanese are buying or starting in Hawaii nowD. The families of the first people came from Europe own the important banks and companies(D)Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well butusually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (⾳节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.13. The writer thinks that _____.A. choose a good dictionary, and you'll be successful in learning EnglishB. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn EnglishC. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properlyD. using dictionaries very often can't help to improve writing14. When does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary in the reading?A. After the first readingB. At the end of the readingC.D uring the first readingD. At the beginning of the reading15. This passage mainly tells us _____.A. that students shouldn't use small two-language dictionariesB. what were the defects of small two-language dictionariesC. why students should use large college edition dictionariesD. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it16. Which is not mentioned in this passage?A. How to make good use of a dictionary.B. How to improve spoken English.C. When to use a dictionary.D. How to practise reading fast.(E)Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain,love,and some other experiences:We parted here; My parents met here;I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty,but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always likedstanding on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house,my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅)on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew, and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost,I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family,my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, becauseI want to hear her say my name,which reminds me I'm home.17. Why does the author call her parents' bed her “safe zone”(Paragraph 3)?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D. Her parents always play together with her there.18.What can be learned from the passage?A. The old furniture is still in the author's first bedroom.B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.19. Sometimes when she feels lost,the author will ________.A. open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom20.

Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problems—everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness--- are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to1discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.六(Reading comprehension(20ˊ)AFor some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then from across the street someone came walking.It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound whilewalking. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of aboutfifty small houses and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest to the child’s house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly,but clearly enough to show the s mooth skin of a woman’s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child’s house. She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing(楼梯平台). Shepushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and thelight fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs, and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small washroom that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child’s bed and the child.1. The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that______.A. a woman was driving the carB. someone was standing by a street lamp.C. a man and a woman were walking up the street.D. a woman was walking by herself up the street.2. After the woman closed the front door, she ___________.A. looked round quicklyB. started breathing againC. rested before movingD. walked straight towards the front door3. When she was upstairs, the woman _______.A. saw that there was a wash-basin in each room2B. noticed a mirror which she was looking forC. found a torch in one of the roomsD. opened four different doors4. Once she was in the house, the woman behaved as if what she was looking for ____A. might be in the kitchenB. was more likely to be upstairsC. would be easily seen by the light from the hallD. would look frightening to a childBHi, everybody !Welcome to our newly-opened Richards Cinema Bookstore!Now let me introduce to you some of the new film books in our store.Are you Chinese film fans?

Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活)if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the yearis dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sandacross the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the desertsof thesouthwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed fromthick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand , rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing —very, very slowly —as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that :have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.9. Many plants may survive in deserts when___________.A. the rain is spread out in a yearB. the rain falls only in a few weeksC. there is little rain in a yearD. it is dry all the year round 10. Sand dunes are formed when___________.A. sand piles up graduallyB. there is plenty of rain in a yearC. the sea has dried up over the yearsD. pieces of rock get smaller411. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably meansthat in a desert there is____________.A. too much sandB. more sand than beforeC. nothing except sandD. something else besides sand 12 It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.A. there is no rainfall throughout the yearB. life exists in rough conditionsC. all sand dunes are a few feet highD. rocks are worn away only by wind and heatDLetter to Editor of TV WeeklyDear Sir/Madam,I read Alison Burnham’s review of When we were 12, and I do not agree withher. I thought the programme was wonderful — I found the old news picturesreally interesting — they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money init — one bigcoin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, Icouldn’t catch the bus home — I had to walk. As agrown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’mable to take control of the situation.I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so called “realityprogrammes”.I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.Yours faithfully,Chris Daniels13. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.C. To express his appreciation of the programme.D. To have his story told on the programme.14. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to .A. describe how painful his early experience was5B. draw a direct response from Alison BurnhamC. show how the programme made him thinkD. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson15. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because .A. he hadn’t got a return ticketB. he had lost his bus ticketC. he didn’t like big crowdsD. he missed the bus home16. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?A. He should have told the conductor then.B. He should have been well treated.C. He regrets going to school alone.D. He wishes it hadn’t happened.ET-shirts out; uniforms inSchool uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediate ly end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If allstudents are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just liketheir friends. The difference is that the clothing students choosefor themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down.As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposesand duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform,he or she becomes,for a time, the symbol (象征) of law and order. The uniform means tothe wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity.” First, as noted above, the clothes studentschoose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They justcopy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.17. In Paragraph 1, the word “benefits” probably means .6A. tasksB. messagesC. differencesD. advantages18. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general .A. prevent the wearers from being laughed atB. help the wearers keep their duties in mindC. are seen as a symbol of powerD. help to create social barriers19. Some people are against school uniforms because .A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniformsB. they believe that uniforms will make students less creativeC. they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriersD. they think that school uniforms are too popular20. The author would probably agree that .A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or notB. students’ individuality may not come from school educationC. students’ creativity is related to the clothes they chooseD. school uniforms help to create equality among students七、Cloze(10ˊ)On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 1 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 2 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 3 to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 4with lots of unexpected challenges. We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.5 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of 6difficulties. We came to learn that something 7 could happen in a disaster .

Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location.You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF (= on the floor),or LOL (= laughing out loud),or combing the two into ROTFL (= rolling on the floor laughing).And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (= got to go)or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the “shift”key and capitals.Punctuation (标点)is going, too.4.Many people talk on the Internet ______.A.by sending short emailsB.by using a particular short form of EnglishC.by using peculiar English words and expressionsD.in a funny way5.In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet ______.A.you have to speak fast and fluentlyB.you should speak with wit and humorC.you have to express your ideas in a brief wayD.one should pay much attention to the accuracy of words6.If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L,it means______.A.the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fineB.you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New YorkC.you are talking to 17 girls who are from New YorkD.the person who you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl7.To save time on the Internet, ______.A.some people leave their letters in the dustbinB.some people never use “shift”in their writingC.many people leave the capital and punctuationD.people seldom use capital letters or punctuationCThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible months.It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals.Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals.They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years.Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed.As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future.They might cover five years or more.Life is not a static thing.We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.8.Our long-term goals mean a lot______.A.if we complete our short-range goalsB.if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC.if we write down the datesD.if we put forward some plans9.New short-term goals are build upon______.A.two yearsB.long-term goalsC.current activities D .the goals that have been completed10.When we complete each step of our goals, ______.Awe will win final successB.we are overwhelmedC.we should build up confidence of successD.we should strong desire for setting new goals四、翻译句子(每题5分, 共25分)1、接受这份工作就得经常在周末上班, 但约翰并不在意。

Passage OneBy the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England g ained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River. French influence on this continent thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George III, king of England, afterconsulting with his advisers,decided that the American colonists(殖民者) should help pay some of the expenses of this war.A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies(殖民地) for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that the colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The result was a series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by the colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legal papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It affected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would surely ruin their businesses.Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia -Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty(万能的) God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" 1.From the text we learn that ___________________. A 、Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1763B 、there had been a war between the French and the Indians which ended in 1763C 、France used to have control of Canada and some areas east of the Mississippi RiverD 、the French still kept some influence in North America through the Treaty of Paris 2.The Grenville Program refers to ___________________. A 、King George III’s plan to gather money in North AmericaB 、the British government’s desire to raise money in North AmericaC 、a plan to share the expenses of maintaining an army in the American coloniesD 、a decision of the British Parliament to collect money in the American colonies 3.The Stamp Act ___________________.A 、was an act about selling stamps at prices from a few cents to almost a dollarB 、required that all commercial and legal documents in America have stamps on themC 、was the main cause of the American RevolutionD 、chiefly affected business people who felt it would ruin their businesses 4.From the text we learn that Patrick Henry ___________________. A 、had been a member of the Virginia Assembly for a long timeB 、didn’t know what courses to take to complete his studies as a lawyerC 、was almost the only one who openly protested against the Stamp ActD 、didn’t value life or peace as much as other people did 5.This passage is mainly about ___________________.专业: 年级: 学生姓名: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------A 、one of the events leading to the American RevolutionB 、the Treaty of Paris between Britain and FranceC 、the Grenville Program to raise money in the American coloniesD 、Patrick Henry, a hero who opposed the Stamp Act Passage TwoA number of recent books have reworked subjects, forms and writing techniques. Today’s children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution, political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator, all kinds of books are being published.Before they know to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical(立 方形的)or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like work-books which come with watercolors and paintbrushes, and comic books(漫画册)filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others. Not that the traditional child ren’s books are being neglected. There are still storybooks where the pages pop up(跳起)when they are opened, to make a forest or a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot(情节)or ending they want, and books on CD, which are very popular in rich industrialized countries.The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. "Previously, giving a child a book as often seen as improper," says Canadian author Marie-France Hebért. Her books, published by a French-language publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. "There’s a real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to childr -en the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin." 1."Reworked" as used in Paragraph 1 means "________________". A 、reworded B 、rewritten C 、processed D 、revised2.In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books ____________.A 、recently publishedB 、of various shapesC 、babies likeD 、popular among children 3.Which of the following statements is true? ____________. A 、Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books. B 、When you buy work-books you will be given free comic books. C 、Traditional children’s books are not being removed from market. D 、Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.4.The expression "get across to children" in the last paragraph probably means "___________". A 、pass on to children B 、make children believe C 、teach children D 、get around to children5.The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have ___________________. A 、warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth shown by publishers B 、warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity shown by publishers C 、showed great enthusiasm in publishers of treat wealty D 、reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers Ⅴ.Please translate these sentences into Chinese(15%).1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning?2. The next night, the blackest he had ever known, the sea became so rough that the boat almost turned over. Food, clothes, and broken glass were all mixed together.3. The cheque fluttered to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady stooped to pick it up.4. I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in the United States be prohibited by law.5. When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Half the students sneered, the rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing.Ⅵ.Please translate these sentences into English(15%).1.史密斯太太对我抱怨说,她经常发现与自己十六岁的女儿简直无法沟通。

Take newspapers, for instance. They are here to give us the news and information that is the most important to us. However, a glance at a modern newspaper will often leave us wondering if anyone is quite sure of his or her target audience. Of course, many newspapers are primarily advertisements. If they have news at all, it is to put school entertainment and give us the most recent Macdonald gossip or to tell us Whenever we try to discuss some improvement gadgets laziness, or crime. It must be admitted that the news of the death, serious illness, robbery with violence or murder of human beings is more important and interest- ing to the majority of people than the news more serious and useful kinds. Yet there is surely a limit both to the evil that we need to be told about and the hungry desire so many people have for such news.21.

But some people get deep into debt. And critics say some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt.In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision (监督)of the credit card industry. Credit cards have been heavily marketed through the mail and at stores. They offer economic power at a price.In two thousand four, Americans had about eight hundred billion dollars in credit card debt. Now they owe about nine hundred sixty-eight billion. The average interest rate on those cards is currently thirteen and a half percent.Critics say banks made it too easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credits markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts.The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning.(199 words)6.What is a credit card?答案:a card which you can use to buy things and pay for it later7.What is NOT true about credit cards?答案:They can increase people's economic power.8.What is the average interest rate on credit cards in America?答案:13.50%te payments for credit cards can bring profit to _____.答案:banks10.According to the passage, who can reduce people's credit limits?答案:the governmentPassage 2Scientists in the United States have developed a method that may help to predict earthquakes earlier. They say it could give people who live in deadly earthquake areas enough warning to leave before an earthquake hits.Currently, the most modern systems for predicting earthquakes find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong earthquakes, the one that hit southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That earthquake killed sixty-nine thousand people.But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that new technology could measure very small changes in the Earth's surface. Their report was published this month in Nature magazine. Fenglin Niu is a seismologist(地震学家)with Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along California's San Andreas Fault(断层), an area famous for its many earthquakes.The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure on the Earth's surface. The scientists say such changes are caused when rocks push together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, seismic(地震的)waves travel faster than usual through the rock. (203 words)11.The method developed by some scientists in the United States can be used to _______.答案:predict an earthquake12.Why did the earthquake which hit southwestern China in May cause so many deaths?答案:Both A and B.13.What is California's San Andreas Fault famous for?答案:Earthquakes14.The Nature magazine is about_________?答案:earthquake15.What is NOT true about the experiments done by Fenglin Niu and his team?答案:The electrical devices can measure changes in air pressure on the Earth'ssurface.第三部分:词汇与结构(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)16.Don't push, let's get on the bus_____.答案:in turn17.They have done ____ work these days.答案:too much18.You _____ do that, if you don't want to.答案:needn't19.He has got a bad cold.

现代大学英语精读1期末考试真题

现代大学英语精读1期末考试真题Final Exam for Modern College English Reading IPart I. Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1(1) More than 150 years ago, the first pioneers to the Great Plains found a seemingly endless undulating ground covered with tall waving grasses. The prairie grasses often grew as high as a man’s head, preventin g the frontiersmen (开荒者) from getting a good look at what lay ahead, and blocking any easy passage. At first, the newcomers could see very little to like or to admire.(2) In order to make the land suitable for agriculture, the settlers had to remove the native grasses. By 1900, there were very few areas of untouched prairie left in the United States. The rich, black soil of the prairie, which could produce up to 60bushels of wheat per acre, was plowed under and transformed into fields of corn, wheat, and soybeans.(3) However, this black soil, which had contributed to the fertility of the prairies for centuries, had its limits. In recent decades, because of the corrosive effects of wind and water, the topsoil has eroded and washed away. Faced with this crisis, many farmers are beginning to consider the virtues of the native grasses once again.(4) Native grasses have several advantages over row crops such as corn or wheat. Unlike grain crops, prairie grasses have deep roots which can penetrate as far as 15 feet into the soil. These roots help to anchor the soil, preventing erosion. They also absorb large amounts of water and store it deep underground.(5) Additionally, native grasses require relatively little labor or fertilizer, which could greatly reduce the cost of agriculture. With modern tools and techniques, it is now possible to restore thousands of acres of damaged land. Through the efforts of environmentalists, prairies are finding their way back into the hands of farmers.21. Wha t is the reason that the pioneers couldn’t see very far ahead when they first arrived on the Great Plains?A. The land was covered with tall grasses.B. There were many obstacles blocking their view.C. They didn’t like what they saw.D. Th ey didn’t have much time to look around.22. Why did the settlers need to remove the native grasses in order to make the land suitable for agriculture?A. The grasses were not tall enough.B. The grasses prevented easy passage.C. The land was not fertile.D. The land was not flat.23. What causes the erosion and washing away of the topsoil in recent decades?A. The excessive plowing of soil.B. The corrosive effects of wind and water.C. The lack of native grasses.D. The loss of fertile soil.Passage 2In the United States, business organizations recognize that their effectiveness and improve...文章内容已经被删减,无法继续显示。
