Note that there is one word more than you need.A. distastefulB. telephoningC. individualD. fightE. surroundingF. chemicalsG. evolutionH. botanistI. escapeJ. survivalWhen you watch TV programmes about wild animals. It is amazing to see how an African animal can __41__ a lion’s attack. In the wilderness, every one has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.Over millions of years of __42__, plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are widely used for __43__. By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits __44__ or poisonous to animals, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. British __45__ David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin(单宁) increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the damaged leaves __46__ the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle tree in the __47__ 45 meters will get the message and produce more tannin within 10 minutes. Now, if an animal eats too many of the trees’ leaves, it will die.Every species of plant or tree specializes in the production of a particular set of __48__. A plant-eating animal that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have developed not only __49__ defence systems, but also shared them with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.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.Hunting wild birds is illegal in Shanghai – and especially in Chongming County. So is selling birds as pets and __50__ them in restaurants as delicacies.But enforcement (执法) is difficult, and in many cases nonexistent, due to lack of __51__ and staff. A lot of __52__ work is left to volunteers. According to an official of the Shanghai Wild Animal Protection Association, who __53__ to be named, some small restaurants are __54__serving bird dishes, but the __55__ is impossible to stop at this time. “We have to __56__ cooperation with the city’s __57__ and industry department, the food and drug __58__, the police and many other sectors (部门) of the government,”he said. “__59__, there is no law enforcement power to __60__ their business licenses.”The association lacks enough people to __61__ into the Chongming woods, as the volunteers do, to __62__ nets, which are used to capture birds. The Chongming Woods Protection Team has only six members and five of them have to take care of the __63__ – only one is dedicated to bird protection, according to Jiang Long, our team leader and a member of the non-governmental Shanghai Green Oasis Ecological Conservation and Communication Center. “What they can do is limited,so volunteers are needed to fill the __64__,” Jiang said.50.

A. birds B. animals C. woods D. beach64 A. gap B. hole C. occupation D. placeSection BDirections:Read the following four 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)She tells us she understands teens. She’s with them at home and she’s with them at school.She plays the piano and the flute (笛子). “Growing up I was always involved with music. My parents had divorced and I was under a lot of stress, and being around music, I felt peace and happiness. Later I came to realize that, as a music teacher, I could give that gift to kids.”And she’s an author. She wrote The Unexpected Adventure at East Haddam two years ago when Evens had a brother and a sister in her Chorus class who struggled with her relationship. Each one –mostly the sister –complained about the other to her. “And I hope the book will show them the importance of their education. It’s so hard for teens to understand the value of what they study in school.”She’s keenly aware of the challenges today’s youth face. “As a society, we’ve lowered our standards in many cases. As a kid I watched Happy Day and The Bill Cosby Show, and my parents never had to worry about what would come out of the characters’ mouths. Today there is no show on after 8 p.m. that’s suitable for younger people. It’s hard for kids today because they’re not allowed the innocence we had.”She’s busy at work on her next book. Evens says writing these books has filled a place inside her that she never thought about, but that needed to be filled. “I enjoy the process so much. I feel challenged. And I am able to purge(净化) some thoughts that I would like to share, especially with kids.”“The most important thing for kids today to remember is that every person is valuable and important, and they have to respect their bodies and themselves, and behave in a way that shows that.”65. Evens was fond of music as a child because _____.A. she could find comfort with music at homeB. her gift for music was passed down from her parentsC. her parents gave her a lot of pressure to learn musicD. music could bring peace between fighting parents66. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _____.A. today the family seldom watches shows togetherB. the standard to choose characters in shows is raisedC. the show after 8 p.m. have a bad influence on teensD. today’s youth are as innocent as those in the past67. What statement may Evens agree to?A. School subjects are too hard for teens to understand.B. It is a challenge to teach children music and writing.C. Teens respect others by behaving themselves well.D. Education is of great value to teens today.68. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. A multi-talented teacher understands teens.B. A teacher writes books on teens.C. Teens love multi-talented teachers at school.D. Kids today are no more innocent than ever.(B)Advertisement 1Now available at Franklin Park one block from Indiana University. New unfurnished flat bedroom at $135, two bedrooms at $165, three bedrooms at $195 per month. Utilities (实用设施) include gas, electricity and water. Children and small pets are welcome. One month’s deposit required. Office opens through Saturday nine to five. Welcome for an evening or Sunday appointment.

From Advertisement 1, we can suppose _____.A. cats and dogs are not permitted in the flatsB. the flats have furniture in themC. the flats are far from Indiana UniversityD. gas and water bills are included in the rent70. Advertisement 1 suggests that persons who are interested in the flats must _____.A. see the flats on Monday or SaturdayB. call for an appointment if they want to see the flats from nine to five Monday throughSaturdayC. see the flats before five o’clock during weekdaysD. call for an appointment if they want to see the flats on Sunday or in the evening71. While you stay in Lincoln College of English, _______ will take care of you.A. the school where you studyB. the family you have chosenC. your classmatesD. your own parents(C)I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly(大胆地) ontheir own, most of them are attempting to seize one another’s hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧)—into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out(创造出)a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come —with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.72. This passage is meant to ______.A. tell readers how to be popular among people around themB. suggest people how to understand and respect each otherC. encourage teenagers to learn to make their choices and decisionsD. suggest parents how to guide and teach their teenage children73. According to the author, many children are said to be rebelling, but actually most of them ____.A. are very much afraid of being kept aloneB. are not courageous and confident enoughC. are not very popular among their classmatesD. are good at striking out boldly on their own74. The expression “to award high marks for the popularity of their children” can be understoodas “______”.A. to generously reward their children when they do better than othersB. to expect their children to become top students at the teenage marketC. to give prizes to their children when they do well in their testsD. to pay much attention to whether their children are popular75. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. advertisements are trying to help teenagers to find themselvesB. most teenagers are actually not rebelling at all in a real senseC. advertisements are always misleading in carving out a teenage marketD. most teenagers manage to become popular by dressing as they pleaseSection 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.A. Preparations for surfingB. Potential dangersC. Current surfers’ attitude towards surfingD. Finding the right waveE. Where surfers come fromF. The most dangerous sportSurfing is one of the fastest developing sports in the world today. It used to be practiced by the ancient Polynesians, but since the 1960s anyone and everyone can go surfing.76.Surfing is more of a way of life for some people than simply a sport, and many spend their time travelling around the planet in search of the perfect wave. Typically, the average surfer is a relaxed type of person: they say it’s something about the art of catching waves and being out in the elements that makes you feel very relaxed. Surfers greet each other by saying “Howzit?” (a bit like “How’s it going?”) and sometimes call each other “bru”or “brah”from the Hawaiian word for brother, “braddah”. British surfers travel in WV camper vans and look a bit like hippiest.77.Anywhere that has a coastline with big waves is home to surfers. Half of Australia’s coastline is surfable so there are lots of Australian surfers. Hawaii is where the sport was invented and the current champion is Hawaiian Sunny Garcia. A lot of surfers also come from California and New Zealand. There are even surfers in the UK who hang out on the southwest coast where the Atlantic waves hit the shore.78.Get a board. Most surfers start on short boards. Long boards and guns are only for experienced surfers catching huge waves. You also have to be a very strong swimmer: being able to swim at least 100 meters, and 25 meters underwater is required.79.Beach breaks are waves which fall onto sand. They can be big, but are best if you are a beginner. Waves vary in size during different seasons and even at different times of the day, so watch out! Surfing can be dangerous and you need advice from someone experienced. More experienced surfers catch waves at point and reef breaks. They are away from the coast, and the swell comes deep from the ocean. Point breaks are waves bent because of the shape of the land beneath the ocean, and reef breaks are shaped by coral and rocks.80.Surfing is a dangerous sport if you aren’t a strong swimmer or if you try to do too much. The main thing most surfers have to worry about is their own board or other surfers’ boards. Great white sharks, stingrays and deadly jellyfish are also not friendly to surfers, but actually running into one of these is quite rare.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the no more than 10 words.Reading to oneself is a modern activity that was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval(中世纪的)worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during nineteenth century did silent reading become common-place.One should be careful, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing(繁荣)of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers.Towards the end of the century there was still considerable argument over whether books shouldbe used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals(期刊)for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.81. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?82. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century indicates that ______________.83. People are still arguing about the value of __________________.84. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?第II卷(共45分)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 我们花在作业上的时间很多。

EachThe Grade I-listed Clifton Suspension Bridge spans 412 meters across the Avon gorge in Bristol, with Egyptian-inspired towers __41 steel chains from which the roadway is hung. A Brunel masterpiece, the bridge is a true icon of engineering.But today we could grow a suspension bridge, building it out of artificial spider silk woven together to produce strong strands. In September 2010, scientists in the USannounced they had __42 transgenic silkworms capable of spinning artificial spider silk. Biologists at the University of Notre Dame, the University of Wyoming and Kraig Biocraft Laboratories took DNA from spiders and added it to that of silkworms to modify the silk they produce. When these silkworms spin their cocoons, they create a combination of silkworm silk and spider silk with __43__ improved elasticity and strength.“It’s around five times as__44__ as steel of the same density and it’s now possible to produce this biopolymer on the large scale,” says architect Magnus Larsson. “So it could be used for __45__ such as bulletproof vests, biomedical uses, structural fabrics—even suspension bridges.”Larsson’s redesign would recreate the suspension bridge with a spider’s web-like structure__46__ from this silk. The suspension bridge’s towers are one of the iconic elements of its design. If they remain in our 21st-century structure, the artificial silk could be spun between them, in a __47_ pattern to a spider’s web. “We could also build the roadway from this material and cars could run over it,” says Larsson. “It’s so strong. Serious experiments are being carried out __48__ at using this as a building material as we speak.”“More biotecture than architecture, we would __49__ grow our new spider silk suspension bridge,”concludes Larsson. “We’d create one of the most impressive feasts of human engineering in the 21st century.”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.While some of the best professional big-wave surfers in the world looked out over 40-foot waves crashing onto the shores of Oahu’s Waimea Bay, the __50__ seemed disappointingly clear. The Quicksilver Invitation surfing competition had to be canceled. The waves were just too__51__.But on that same late-January day, relatively unknown big-wave rider Greg Russ had to be physically __52__ by lifeguards from launching out into the biggest surf in more than a decade. The guards were interfering with his right to make __53__, he said.The incentive: $50,000 from the surf-equipment manufacturer K2 to anyone who can ride the biggest wave of the year and get it __54__.From ice climbing to mountain biking to big-wave surfing, more people are becoming extreme athletes, putting their lives in danger for the__55__ thrill. But the K2 contest, and the growing popularity of extreme sports worldwide, has raised questions about the financial and human__56__ for athletes and rescuers who watch over them. For many, the incident at Waimea perfectly__57__ the dangers unleashed when big money, big egos, and big challenges are mixed.Although exact figures on how many extreme athletes exist are hard to come by, isolated statistical evidence __58__ a rapid increase. For example, the number of climbers__59__ to climb Alaska’s 20,300-foot Mt. McKinley---the tallest peak in North America---increased from 695 in 1984 to 1,100 in 1997.“It’s a numbers deal, and clearly there are more people getting hurt than there were when I started doing__60__ 20 years ago,” says Dan Burnett, a mission coordinator with the all-volunteer Summit County Search and Rescue Group in Colorado. “We’re responding in areas now that even four years ago I would have thought we didn’t need to check because __61__goes there.”Some strides have been made toward creating a(n) __62__ extreme-sports world. Three years ago, Denali National Park in Alaska, __63__, instituted a mandatory $ 150 fee for climbers seeking to ascend Mt. McKinley. The fee pays for an educational program that park rangers credit with dramatically __64__ the number of search-and-rescue missions and fatalities.50. A. decision B. surprise C. devotion D. mission51.

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)Irene’s mother stood in the doorway, tears streaming down as she sobbed, body quivering. The door had just slammed moments before. In all of her ten years of wisdom, she had learnt too many things to last her a lifetime. She learnt the glance her mother would give her father when he came home late, walking funny and stumbling into the furniture. She learnt the sadness in her mother’s face as she tucked her in and daddy still had not come home. She hated the dark, cold stares they gave each other all the time.But now, seeing her mother leaning against the door, she just had to do something. Long moments passed. She felt awkward and nervous, not knowing what to do, what to say or what was happening. She swore then and there that she was not going to be like that with her husband, not with her kids standing by.The thought of her friend, Matilda, came to her mind. Matilda had parents that said nice things to each other. They held hands and took her great places like Disneyland. “Why can’t my parents be like that?” she thought to herself.Irene took a deep breath and ran up to her mommy and hugged her as tightly as her small arms possibly could. She whispered, “ I love you, mommy. I really do.” Then she leaned up to kiss her neck. She held her close and she could feel the smile against her cheek, and her damp eyelashes too.“Baby,” she said, “I love you so much it hurts. I’m so sorry. I wish things were better for you, I do. I didn’t bring you into this world to live like this.”65. What kept Irene’s father out so late every night?A.He was out drinking.B.He always had to work late.C.He did not like being home.D.He wanted to avoid seeing Irene and her mother.66. Why did Irene swear not to fight with her husband in front of her kids?A.She felt it was not fair to them.B.She wanted her children to have a perfect life.C.She knew how traumatic it would be for them.D.She did not want them to be exposed to negative behavior.67. Why did Irene feel she had to do something when she saw her mother crying atthe doorway?A.She felt awkward and nervous.B.She felt the need to comfort her mother.C.That was her way of reacting to the situation.D.She was angry with her father for reducing her mother to tears.68. What emotion was Irene’s mother experiencing in the last paragraph?A. GuiltB. AngerC. ContemptD. Regret(B)One thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most powerful people in the world; however, governments, elected or otherwise, sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons. The word tycoon is relatively new to the English language. It is Chinese in origin but was given as a title to some Japanese generals. The term was brought to the United States, in the late nineteenth century, where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes from sugar and cattle, coal and oil, rubber and steel, and railroads. Some people called these tycoons “capitals of industry” and praised them for their contributions to U.S. wealth and international stature. Others criticized them as ruthless “robber barons”, who would stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth.The early tycoons built successful businesses, often taking over smaller companies to eliminate competition. A single company that came to control an entire market was called a monopoly. Monopolies made a few families very wealthy, but they also placed a heavy financial burden on consumers and the economy at large.As the country expanded and railroads linked the East Coast to the West Coast, local monopolies turned into national corporations called trusts. A trust is a group of companies that join together under the control of a board of trustees. Railroad trusts are an excellent example. Railroads were privately owned and operated and often monopolized various routes, setting rates as high as they desired. The financial burden this placed on passengers and businesses increased when railroads formed trusts. Farmers, for example, had no choice but to pay, as railroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers. Exorbitant (过高的)freight rates put some farmers out of business.There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials. In 1890 Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust. Act, legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts. The Sherman Antitrust Act focused on two main issues. First of all, it made illegal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstate trade. It also made it illegal tomonopolize any part of business that operates across state lines.Over the next 60 years or so, Congress enacted other antitrust laws in an effort to encourage competition and restrict the power of larger corporations.69. The Sherman Antitrust Act_______________________.A.affected only the companies doing business within state linesB.sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competition in the market-placeC.promoted trade with a large number of nationsD.provides a financial advantage to the buyer70. One might infer from this passage that lower prices _________________.A.are more likely to exist in a competitive market economyually can be found only in an economy based on monopoliesC.matter only to people who are poor and living below the poverty levelD.are regulated by the government71. It seems likely that many Americans_____________________.A.believed that the trusts had little influence over governmentB.expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the poorC.did little to build up American businessD.were worried that trusts might manipulate the government(C)The modern Olympic Games, founded in 1896, began as contests between individuals, rather than among nations, with the hope of promoting world peace through sportsmanship. In the beginning, the games were open only to amateurs. An amateur is a person whose involvement in an activity---from sports to science or the arts---is purely for pleasure. Amateurs, whatever their contributions to a field, expect to receive no form of compensation ; professionals, in contrast, perform their work in order to earn a living.From the perspective of many athletes, however, the Olympic playing field has been far from level. Restricting the Olympics to amateurs has precluded(排除)the participation of many who could not afford to be unpaid. Countries have always desired to send their best athletes, not their wealthiest ones, to the Olympic Games.A slender and imprecise line separates what we call “financial support”from “earning money.” Do athletes “earn money” if they are reimbursed(补偿)for travel expenses? What if they are paid for time lost at work or if they accept free clothing from a manufacturer or if they teach sports for a living? The runner Eric Liddell was the son of poor missionaries; in 1924 the British Olympic Committee financed his tripto the Olympics, where he won a gold and a bronze medal. College scholarships and support from the United States Olympic Committee made it possible for American track stars Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph and speed skater Dan Jansen to train and compete. When the Soviet Union and its allies joined the games in 1952, the definition of amateur became still muddier. Their athletes did not have to balance jobs and training because as citizens in communist regimes, their government financial support was not considered payment for jobs.In 1971 the International Olympic Committee(IOC) removed the word amateur from the rules, making it easier for athletes to find the support necessary to train and compete. In 1986 the IOC allowed professional athletes into the games.There are those who regret the disappearance of amateurism from the Olympic Games. For them the games lost something special when they became just another way for athletes to earn money. Others say that the designation of amateurism was always questionable; they argue that all competitors receive so much financial support as to make them paid professionals. Most agree, however, that the debate over what constitutes an “amateur” will continue for a long time.72. One might infer that _______________________.A.developing Olympic-level skills in athletes is costlyB.professional athletes are mostly interested in financial rewardsC.amateurs does not expect to earn money at the sport that is playedD.amateurs athletes have a better attitude than professionals do73. The statement “the playing field has been far from level” means that__________.A.the ground the athletes played on was in bad conditionB.the poorer players were given some advantagesC.the rules did not work the same way for everyoneD.amateurs were inferior to the professionals in many ways74. The financial support given to athletes by the Soviet government can best be compared to ________________.A.a gift received on a special occasion, such as a birthdayB.money received from a winning lottery ticketC.an allowance paid to a childD.Money from charity organization75. One can conclude that the Olympic Organizing Committee _________________.A.has held firm to its original vision of the Olympic gamesB.has struggled with the definition of amateur over the yearsC.regards itself as an organization for professional athletes onlyD.did nothing but stop allowing communists to participateSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable question from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra question which you do not need.________76. Wikipedia was my second attempt at creating a free encyclopedia for everyone. The first attempt was called Nupedia, which was a failure. The model we used to try to create Nupedia was very top-down, very academic and not very much fun for the volunteers. I launched the Wiki in 2001, and it just grew and grew and grew.________77. We think it is. We exist through the donations of the general public. The vast majority of them come from our annual giving campaign. That gives us enough money for another year. Is it sustainable in the long run? I think it is, but time will tell. ________78. We need to make a very careful distinction between censorship and editorial judgment. Censorship is forbidding the publication of certain knowledge. Editorial judgment means asking. Are these facts relevant? Are they verifiable? Every entry has to be subject to thoughtful editorial judgment. But it’s never the case that we should accept censorship.________79. I remember, in the early days of Wikipedia, looking at a list of the top 100 websites and seeing an encyclopedia reference site ranked around No 50. I thought, if we do a really good job, maybe we can make it into the top 100. Now we’re the fifth most popular website in the world, with over 400 million people visiting every month. It’s much bigger than I expected.________80. We have absolutely nothing to do with Wikileaks. We shouldn’t get credit for it, and we shouldn’t get criticized for it. I’ve had a couple of cringing moments where I see some head of state who makes the error, and I’m like, oh, come on.Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)One of the major reasons the reef is so fascinating to scientists and tourists is its infinite variety. They come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from more than a few thousand meters in area to over one hundred and twenty square kilometers. Some of the very outer reefs are up to expose themselves while others remain fully submerged. The beauty of the reefs can only be truly appreciated from an aerial view.About two thousand eight hundred species of fish are known to live in the reef region. It could take many years for scientists to come up with a complete list of all the plants and animals found on any one reef. Many species are still to be identified and named, showing a staggering diversity of life.Coral reefs start out small and grow about half an inch a year. If undisturbed by man, however, they can grow to be quite big. The Great Barrier Reef off the northeast coast of Australia is one good example! Reefs grow best in sunny, shallow, clear water. They rarely grow deeper than forty meters and they prefer salt water. The appropriate temperatures and salinities are most often found in the tropics.Coral reefs are important because they provide protection and shelter for many different species of fish. Without coral reefs, these fish are left homeless with nowhere to live or to have their babies. Not only do these fish increase the diversity of our world but also reef fish and mollusks feed between thirty and forty million people every year. They also make beautiful pets and the money made by catching and selling these animals provides many people with an income to feed their families. Coral are also very important in controlling how much carbon dioxide is in the ocean. Without coral, the amount of carbon dioxide in the water would rise drastically and that would affect all living things on Earth.Lastly, coral reefs are very important because they protect the coasts from strong currents and waves by slowing down the water before it gets to the shore. That is why they are called barrier reefs. They provide a barrier between the ocean and the shore.81. The vehicles one must take to be able to see the full extent of the reefs might be _______________________.82. From the passage, write the phrase that means that there are a great variety of plants and animals in the ocean. ____________________________83. Why do you think reefs require clear and shallow water to grow?They require clear and shallow water so that __________________________.84. Explain why the coral reefs are also called barrier reefs.__________________________________________________________________.第II卷(共45 分)I.

According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal —this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.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.Researchers recently find women likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depressi on compared with working momswho let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at th e annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle. “The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family can be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.” In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work gives women more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said. Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression. “Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic(乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environments,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance ever ything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research really speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employment and not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

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 twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves(蹄) rings in the riders’ ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces —were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse.A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated (提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originall y, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67. The racehorses are given handicaps so that _____.A. they will weigh the sameB. previous winners are unlikely to winC. the race will be fair enoughD. they will be more adaptable to the race68. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. the spectators of the Melbourne Cup must dress wellB. the Melbourne Cup was intended for wealthy peopleC. the winner of the Melbourne Cup can earn a large fortuneD. the Melbourne Cup is the best-known horserace worldwide69.

The exhibits in “From Ballyhosset to Bengal” have long belonged to the museum.(C)Fed up with constantly having to recharge or replace batteries in your ever-expanding electronic devices? The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more than your body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity fromultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2019.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a Columbia University study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode” in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word“explode” in Paragraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75. What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A. The waste of lithium in the world.B. The increasing number of electronic devices.C. The development of technology.D. The pollution caused by batteries.76. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. energy-harvesting products save money in the long runB. taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC. automatic watches harvest energy from the user s’ body heatD. two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Energy harvesting: a low-risk technologyB. Energy harvesting: a high-profit technologyC. Energy harvesting: a problem-free technologyD. Energy harvesting: an environment-friendly technologySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Want to attract and keep top talent? Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.A survey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48 value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep tal ented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime (弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, si x weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large number of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten years.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81. What makes flextime possible according to Twaronite?第Ⅱ卷(共47分)I. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 出国对于这个高中生来讲根本没有吸引力。

Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.Over millions of years of __42_G. evolution_, plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are widely used for __43_J. survival_. By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits __44A. distasteful__ or poisonous to animals, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. British __45_H. botanist_ David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin(单宁)increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the damaged leaves __B. telephoning46__ the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell.

She’s with them at home and she’s with them at school.She plays the piano and the flute (笛子). “Growing up I was always involved with music. My parents had divorced and I was under a lot of stress, and being around music, I felt peace and happiness. Later I came to realize that, as a music teacher, I could give that gift to kids.”And she’s an author. She wrote The Unexpected Adventure at East Haddam two years ago when Evens had a brother and a sister in her Chorus class who struggled with her relationship. Each one –mostly the sister –complained about the other to her. “And I hope the book will show them the importance of their education. It’s so hard for teens to understand the value of what they study in school.”She’s keenly aware of the challenges today’s youth face. “As a society, we’ve lowered our standards in many cases. As a kid I watched Happy Day and The Bill Cosby Show, and my parents never had to worry about what would come out of the characters’ mouths. Today there is no show on after 8 p.m. that’s suitable for younger people. It’s hard for kids today because they’re not allowed the innocence we had.”She’s busy at work on her next book. Evens says writing these books has filled a place inside her that she never thought about, but that needed to be filled. “I enjoy the process so much. I feel challenged. And I am able to purge(净化) some thoughts that I would like to share, especially with kids.”“The most important thing for kids today to remember is that every person is valuable and important, and they have to respect their bodies and themselves, and behave in a way that shows that.”65.

Evens was fond of music as a child because _____.A. she could find comfort with music at homeB. her gift for music was passed down from her parentsC. her parents gave her a lot of pressure to learn musicD. music could bring peace between fighting parents66. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _____.A. today the family seldom watches shows togetherB. the standard to choose characters in shows is raisedC. the show after 8 p.m. have a bad influence on teensD. today’s youth are as innocent as those in the past67. What statement may Evens agree to?A. School subjects are too hard for teens to understand.B. It is a challenge to teach children music and writing.C. Teens respect others by behaving themselves well.D. Education is of great value to teens today.68. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. A multi-talented teacher understands teens.B. A teacher writes books on teens.C. Teens love multi-talented teachers at school.D. Kids today are no more innocent than ever.(B)Advertisement 1Now available at Franklin Park one block from Indiana University.

While you stay in Lincoln College of English, _______ will take care of you.A. the school where you studyB. the family you have chosenC. your classmatesD. your own parents(C)I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly(大胆地) on their own, most of them are attempting to seize one another’s hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧)—into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out(创造出)a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’sparents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come —with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.72. C 73. B 74. D 75. B72. This passage is meant to ______.A. tell readers how to be popular among people around themB. suggest people how to understand and respect each otherC. encourage teenagers to learn to make their choices and decisionsD. suggest parents how to guide and teach their teenage children73. According to the author, many children are said to be rebelling, but actually most of them ____.A. are very much afraid of being kept aloneB. are not courageous and confident enoughC. are not very popular among their classmatesD. are good at striking out boldly on their own74. The expression “to award high marks for the popularity of their children” can be understoodas “______”.A. to generously reward their children when they do better than othersB. to expect their children to become top students at the teenage marketC. to give prizes to their children when they do well in their testsD. to pay much attention to whether their children are popular75. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. advertisements are trying to help teenagers to find themselvesB. most teenagers are actually not rebelling at all in a real senseC. advertisements are always misleading in carving out a teenage marketD. most teenagers manage to become popular by dressing as they pleaseSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each76. C 77. E 78. A 79. D 80. BSurfing is one of the fastest developing sports in the world today. It used to be practiced by the ancientSurfing is more of a way of life for some people than simply a sport, and many spend their time travelling around the planet in search of the perfect wave. Typically, the average surfer is a relaxed type of person: they say it’s something about the art of catching waves and being out in the elements that makes you feel very relaxed. Surfers greet each other by saying “Howzit?” (a bit like “How’s it going?”) and sometimes call each other “bru”or “brah”from the Hawaiian word for brother, “Anywhere that has a coastline with big waves is home to surfers. Half of Australia’s coastline is surfable so there are lots of Australian surfers. Hawaii is where the sport was invented and the current champion is Hawaiian Sunny Garcia. A lot of surfers also come from California and New Zealand. There are even surfers in the UK who hang out on the southwest coast where the Atlantic waves hitGet a board. Most surfers start on short boards. Long boards and guns are only for experienced surfers catching huge waves. You also have to be a very strong swimmer: being able to swim at leastBeach breaks are waves which fall onto sand. They can be big, but are best if you are a beginner. Waves vary in size during different seasons and even at different times of the day, so watch out! Surfing can be dangerous and you need advice from someone experienced. More experienced surfers catch waves at point and reef breaks. They are away from the coast, and the swell comes deep from the ocean. Point breaks are waves bent because of the shape of the land beneath the ocean, and reefSurfing is a dangerous sport if you aren’t a strong swimmer or if you try to do too much. The main thing most surfers have to worry about is their own board or other surfers’ boards. Great white sharks, stingrays and deadly jellyfish are also not friendly to surfers, but actually running into one of these is quite rare.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the no more than 10 words.Reading to oneself is a modern activity that was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval(中世纪的)worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during nineteenth century did silent reading become common-place.One should be careful, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came theflourishing(繁荣)of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers.Towards the end of the century there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals(期刊)for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.81. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?82. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century indicates that __the tasksthemselves changed in character.____________.83. People are still arguing about the value of __________________.84.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered 41 spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by 42 . Writing increased as a problem as students discovered 43 in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading 44 as a significant problem.Information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we 45 it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same 46 would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.Variety of 47 was also seen as a way of 48 or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so in the end we brought it into line with the expressed language 49 of the students.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.The huge thirst for jobs in the civil service has made the national civil servant exam one of China’s most competitive tests.

Of the 17,330 participants, about 83 per cent said they were attracted by the job's 53 , guaranteed health care and pension(抚恤金). 54 , 55 per cent said it could bring "practical profits."Nearly 1 million people 55 to take the exam last year, yet only just over 10,000 were finally 56 . This year the stiff (severe) competition continued. The exact number of applicants is not known, with the final day for 57 today.But the influx(流入)of applicants has already broken the exam's website once. China Youth Daily 58 that the site was forced to close for maintenance due to 59 high traffic on the night of October 16. In a typical year several hundred applicants will apply for many of the jobs listed. For example, the five job vacancies 60 by the secretariat of the Central Committee of the Party have this year 61 more than 3,880 applicants.In general, the exam means 50 people competing for one post, the report said. 62 as civil servants are attractive, not only because of the stable income and good health care, but also because of the low risks 63 with the power and 64 the positions enjoy.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A brother and a sister got reunited after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwyn & Hatfield Times.For years John Hannant kept a photograph of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again. Margery, the oldest of the three children, had signed up for the RAF as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby. The family lost touch with her and as the decades passed only a single letter gave a clue to where she might be. The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back into touch.John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested his writing to the paper.“That’s what made it, the letter to the paper a few months back,” he said. “It’s as if a dream came true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the floods. She wrote home to see if we were all right. My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House on the royal estate at Sandringham, Mr Hannant decided to take action once and for all. He and his wife Doreen, traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.Margery is 88 this year(2008), and she was getting better after several months in hospital. She immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something that I never thought was going to happen, but I always hoped it would.”65. Why did Margery leave home?A. Because she signed up to serve in the army.B. Because a war destroyed her home.C. Because there was a flood in her hometown.D. Because she went to search for her brother.66. John found his sister _____.A. by writing to his friendB. by traveling aroundC. with the help of DorothyD. with the help of a newspaper reader67.

The photograph kept by John was the most important clue to where Margery might be.B. Margery and Jack live with their children now.C. Since 1953, Margery has come back home only once.D.

Mexican War cost as much money as Spanish American War.(C)Ears are for hearing —everyone knows that. But for a creature called the Cuvier’s beaked whale, hearing starts in the throat, a new study found.The observation might help explain how all whales hear. The work might also help scientists understand how animals are affected by underwater sonar (一种探测系统). This sonar, used by some ships, sends out sound waves to locate underwater objects.The Cuvier’s beaked whale is a so-called toothed whale. Toothed whales dive deep into the ocean in search of food. As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when they’re 1,000 meters under the sea, where it is totally dark.To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego State University in California took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales. The whales had died and washed up on the beach.Ted Cranford and his colleagues used the images to make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head. Then, they modeled the process of sound traveling through the head.The researchers knew that some sounds get to the ears of a toothed whale through a structure called “the window for sound”. Found on the lower jaw, this structure is very thin on the outside and has a large pad (垫) of fat on the inside.When the researchers used their computer model to work out how sound waves travel in the whale’s head, they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in front of the whale actually travel under the animal’s jaw. From there, sound waves move through the throat, into a hole in the back of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal’s ears.Cranford guesses that other types of whales may hear through their throats. Further testing is needed to be sure. Eventually, the insight into how whales hear might explain whether sonar testing by military ships is causing the animals to wind up on beaches.72. Toothed whales look for food under the sea by ______.A. watching the shape and size of their objectsB. diving deep into the seaC. sending and receiving soundsD. making lots of noises73. Researchers took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales in order to ______.A. find out why they had died and washed up on the beachB. make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s headC. make sure that sound travels through the headD. know more about the way the whale hears74. Which of the following describes the way taken by sound waves through a Cuvier’s beaked whale?A. A hole in the back o f the jaw → the ears → the jaw → the throat.B. The jaw → the throat → a hole in the back of the jaw → the ears.C. The throat → the jaw → the ears → a hole in the back of the jaw.D. The ears → the throat → a hole in the back of the jaw → th e jaw.75. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage?A. Ears are useless to the Cuvier’s beaked whale.B. Military ships send out sounds like a Cuvier’s beaked whale.C. The whale’s unusual acts have nothing to do with human activities.D. Further research might show human activities can influence whale’s activities.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.help manage them.’t true relaxation. Depending on what you’re watching or doing, it could even make you more tense. The same is true for alcohol, drugs, or tobacco. They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but it’s a false state of relaxation that’s onlytemporary. What the body really needs is a relaxation technique --- like deep breathing, tai chi, or yoga --- that has a physical effect on the mind. For example, deep breathing helps to relax a major nerve that runs from the diaphragm to the brain, sending a message to the entire body to let go and loosen up.’s ups and downs? Get the right amount of sleep for your needs --- not too much or too little. Eat well --- choose fruit, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains for long-term energy, instead of the short bursts that come from too much sugar or caffeine. And exercise to send oxygen to every cell in the body so your brain and body can operate at their best.or family. Organized activities are great, but just hanging out works too. Doing things with those we feel close to deepens our bonds, allowing us to feel supported and secure. And the fun and sharing that go with it allow us to feel happier and less upset about things. If you feel worried or nervous about something, talking about it with someone who listens and cares can help you feel more understood and better able to deal with it. You’ll be reminded that everyone has these feelings sometimes. You’re not alone.you feel safe so you can relax and enjoy your surroundings. Walking, hiking, biking, or snowshoeing can offer the additional benefit or exercise. Invite a friend or two --- or a family member --- along and enjoy feeling connected to people as well.and positive. Allow yourself to dream, wish, and imagine the best that could happen.Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t wan t —an end to the relationship.The good news is that mo st troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a frie ndship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. An d finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. Thehard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.81. What is likely to happen if you have disagreements with your friends?82. The author wrote the article mainly to tell us .83. The underlined word nurture probably means __________.84. What causes the change of friendships?第II卷(共45分)I.

Guided Writing (25*)Importance of Family EducationParents often show love for us, supervise us to be a responsible person and encourage us to create a promising future, yet we can’t deny the fact that our friends always exert a subtle influence on us . It’s really hard to say which of the two is more important, for they affect u s at different times and in respective ways. However, from my point of view, friends’ influence plays the dominant role.To start with, most of our friends have their own talents in a certain field, from which we can learn to make up for our weaknesses . Moreover, since our friends are from different families, we can have the opportunity to share different lifestyles ,and perfect our own living habits. Furthermore, our peers undoubtedly know more about the latest trend, and accordingly, it is our friends that help us keep pace with the times. Last but not least, our parents will leave us sooner or later. By contrast, friends’ effect will last much longer due to the fact that we will make more and more friends on the life road.Comparatively speaking, our friends, to some extent, teach us more than parents do. So it’s necessary to bear in mind that our rosy lives lie mostly in the lessons our friends present to us and it is a must to cherish our friendship.。

CWhen you watch TV programmes about wild animals. It is amazing to see how an African animal can __41_I. escape_ a lion’s attack. In the wilderness, every one has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.Over millions of years of __42_G. evolution_, plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are widely used for __43_J. survival_. By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits __44A. distasteful__ or poisonous to animals, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. British __45_H. botanist_ David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin(单宁)increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the damaged leaves __B. telephoning46__ the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell.

A plant-eating animal that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have developed not only __49C. individual__ defence systems, but also shared them with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.III.

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)She tells us she understands teens. She’s with them at home and she’s with them at school.She plays the piano and the flute (笛子). “Growing up I was always involved with music. My parents had divorced and I was under a lot of stress, and being around music, I felt peace and happiness. Later I came to realize that, as a music teacher, I could give that gift to kids.”And she’s an author. She wrote The Unexpected Adventure at East Haddam two years ago when Evens had a brother and a sister in her Chorus class who struggled with her relationship. Each one –mostly the sister –complained about the other to her. “And I hope the book will show them the importance of their education. It’s so hard for teens to understand the value of what they study in school.”She’s keenly aware of the challenges today’s youth face. “As a society, we’ve lowered our standards in many cases. As a kid I watched Happy Day and The Bill Cosby Show, and my parents never had to worry about what would come out of the characters’ mouths. Today there is no show on after 8 p.m. that’s suitable for younger people. It’s hard for kids today because they’re not allowed the innocence we had.”She’s busy at work on her next book. Evens says writing these books has filled a place inside her that she never thought about, but that needed to be filled. “I enjoy the process so much. I feel challenged. And I am able to purge(净化) some thoughts that I would like to share, especially with kids.”“The most important thing for kids today to remember is that every person is valuable and important, and they have to respect their bodies and themselves, and behave in a way that shows that.”65.

Evens was fond of music as a child because _____.A. she could find comfort with music at homeB. her gift for music was passed down from her parentsC. her parents gave her a lot of pressure to learn musicD. music could bring peace between fighting parents66.

What statement may Evens agree to?A. School subjects are too hard for teens to understand.B. It is a challenge to teach children music and writing.C. Teens respect others by behaving themselves well.D. Education is of great value to teens today.68. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A.

While you stay in Lincoln College of English, _______ will take care of you.A. the school where you studyB. the family you have chosenC. your classmatesD. your own parents(C)I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly(大胆地) on their own, most of them are attempting to seize one another’s hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧)—into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out(创造出)a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’sparents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come —with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.72. C 73. B 74. D 75. B72. This passage is meant to ______.A. tell readers how to be popular among people around themB. suggest people how to understand and respect each otherC. encourage teenagers to learn to make their choices and decisionsD. suggest parents how to guide and teach their teenage children73. According to the author, many children are said to be rebelling, but actually most of them ____.A. are very much afraid of being kept aloneB. are not courageous and confident enoughC. are not very popular among their classmatesD. are good at striking out boldly on their own74. The expression “to award high marks for the popularity of their children” can be understoodas “______”.A. to generously reward their children when they do better than othersB. to expect their children to become top students at the teenage marketC. to give prizes to their children when they do well in their testsD. to pay much attention to whether their children are popular75. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. advertisements are trying to help teenagers to find themselvesB. most teenagers are actually not rebelling at all in a real senseC. advertisements are always misleading in carving out a teenage marketD. most teenagers manage to become popular by dressing as they pleaseSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each76. C 77. E 78. A 79. D 80. BSurfing is one of the fastest developing sports in the world today. It used to be practiced by the ancientSurfing is more of a way of life for some people than simply a sport, and many spend their time travelling around the planet in search of the perfect wave. Typically, the average surfer is a relaxed type of person: they say it’s something about the art of catching waves and being out in the elements that makes you feel very relaxed. Surfers greet each other by saying “Howzit?” (a bit like “How’s it going?”) and sometimes call each other “bru”or “brah”from the Hawaiian word for brother, “Anywhere that has a coastline with big waves is home to surfers. Half of Australia’s coastline is surfable so there are lots of Australian surfers. Hawaii is where the sport was invented and the current champion is Hawaiian Sunny Garcia. A lot of surfers also come from California and New Zealand. There are even surfers in the UK who hang out on the southwest coast where the Atlantic waves hitGet a board. Most surfers start on short boards. Long boards and guns are only for experienced surfers catching huge waves. You also have to be a very strong swimmer: being able to swim at leastBeach breaks are waves which fall onto sand. They can be big, but are best if you are a beginner. Waves vary in size during different seasons and even at different times of the day, so watch out! Surfing can be dangerous and you need advice from someone experienced. More experienced surfers catch waves at point and reef breaks. They are away from the coast, and the swell comes deep from the ocean. Point breaks are waves bent because of the shape of the land beneath the ocean, and reefSurfing is a dangerous sport if you aren’t a strong swimmer or if you try to do too much. The main thing most surfers have to worry about is their own board or other surfers’ boards. Great white sharks, stingrays and deadly jellyfish are also not friendly to surfers, but actually running into one of these is quite rare.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the no more than 10 words.Reading to oneself is a modern activity that was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval(中世纪的)worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during nineteenth century did silent reading become common-place.One should be careful, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came theflourishing(繁荣)of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers.Towards the end of the century there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals(期刊)for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.81. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?82. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century indicates that __the tasksthemselves changed in character.____________.83. People are still arguing about the value of __________________.84.
