Note that there is one word more than you need.Some desert animals can survive the summer heat and dryness because they are very unusual. The camel, for example, can __41__and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9℃ without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it __42__. However, most animals need to maintain a __43__ constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way tostay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a __44__summer’s day, most of them are __45__only in the night. Only after the sun has __46__does the desert come fully to life. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides__47__, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the __48__for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; __49__ all find some dark and cool places where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.III.

Brian Jackson, director of the Child-Minding Researching Unit, and his 54 have done a great deal of work in finding out what it means for a child to spend the first years of life 55 the care of a child-minder.By law, anyone who looks after a child for more than two hours a day and gets paid must be registered in the government. 56 the punishment is a 50 pounds 57 .

He got almost all Bs and a few Cs. He had done his homework most of the time and once in a while he had skipped class (旷课). When he got to Furnell, he didn’t change his study habits. As a result he got a bad grade on the first test in chemistry ——65 percent, or D. When the teaching assistant gave back his quiz, he also gave him some advice.“Look, Walter, I know you’re having problems with this course”, Gordon told Walter, “Remember that the teacher requires attendance. In other courses it might be okay to skip class once in a while, but not in this one. A good grade in chemistry depends on attendance, good homework, and going to lab every week. If you continue to do the quiz poorly, you’re going to have problems. ”Walter thought about his advice a lot over the weekend. “The teaching assistant was serious. I’m doing poorly, and I might fail chemistry. In that case I would have to leave Furnell. I don’t want to go home and find a job.” From that weekend he started studying very hard. In addition, he started to do all his assignments and to go to lab every week. After a month, he was able to answer almost all the quiz questions correctly.“I’m happy to see that you’re doing better in this course”teaching assistant said to Walter.“Yeah, me too. It’s a challenge to study every afternoon when I feel like playing football or video games. But now I know that chemistry is not an impossible course. ”65.

Moreover, large sums of money are required for their maintenance following the Games.This is a universal problem faced by all host cities. Moscow, Los Angeles, Seoul, Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney and Athens have all had the same headache. The only difference lies in the degrees of intensity. Beijing, the next host city, is bound to find the same problem once the 2008 Olympics conclude.How can this be avoided? What can Beijing learn from its predecessors’ experiences and lessons? Athens, the immediate predecessor, is doing something about it and may offer some useful ideas for the Chinese capital in this regard.A company, the Greek Olympic Property SA, was founded in 2002 to handle venue affairs after the Athens Games. It began operating in 2004 and has been involved in the post-Olympic development and management of facilities, said Christos Hadjiemmanuil, president of the company, in an interview with a group of Chinese journalists last week in Athens.The operation of the company is governed by market forces much like privately owned firms, although the Greek Olympic Properties SA and all the venues are owned by the state, according to Hadjiemmanuil.The company oversees the management of 15 Olympic complexes (or 22 individual Olympic facilities) while the other two firms are in charge of the rest.All 15 complexes have been put forward for international bids for their post-Olympic use. The first-phase bidding has been completed but the outcome has yet to be announced. The second phase will be conducted at the end of February and the third phase at the end of March, according to Hadjiemmanuil.Fortunately, the venue construction contractors are currently responsible for the maintenance and management of the venues because the signed contracts stated that thecontractors should bear the maintenance costs of the venues in a given period of time after the Games, he said.72. According to the passage, ________ is/are probably required urgently after the OlympicGames are held.A. universal cooperationB. huge investmentsC. venue constructionD. money for maintenance73. From the passage, we can infer that ________.A. the Olympic Games will take place in different cities in turns, such as Moscow, LosAngeles, etc.B. Beijing will face many problems the 2008 Olympic Games will bringC. the city that hosts Olympic Games often face a lot of problems after the GamesD. the Beijingers are good at learning its predecessors’ experience s and lessons74. Which of the cities have better solved the post-game problems?A. Moscow.B. Beijing.C. Athens.D. Atlanta.75. Which is NOT true according to this passage?A. The Greek Olympic Property SA was founded to solve the headache caused by the 28thOlympic Games.B. Only the Greek Olympic Property SA is involved in the management of the Olympicfacilities.C. The Greek Olympic Property SA is governed by the Greek government, but it isoperated according to market economy.D. In a certain period of time after the 2004 Olympic Games, the Government of Athenswill not see to the repairs of the facilities.(Ｄ)Levittown was the name given to three suburban developments constructed in the post-World War II decades by Levitt and Sons, the most important private builder of this period. Using new mass production techniques they had learned while building housing for military personnel during the Second World War, they turned home building from a cottage industry into a major manufacturing process.During World War II, they received government contracts to build homes for war workers. Under deadline pressure, they developed mass production methods to build houses quickly. These techniques were carried over to their postwar suburban developments. On May 7, 1947, William Levitt announced his plans to build 2,000 houses in a former potato field in the state of New York. Then, by the time this Levittown was completed in 1951, it contained 17,450 homes for 75,000 people in New York. Levitt eventually built two more Levittowns, in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Each contained the same curving streets, community pools, and neighborhood parks, playgrounds as the first development did.Some observers criticized the monotonous uniformity of the Levittowns, charging thatthey are just the symbol of materialism, but Levittowns were overwhelmingly welcomed by the public. They were cheap, comfortable, efficient, and ideal for young people just starting out in life. Thousands of middle class people, especially some young couples, crowded in city apartments or still living with their parents, rushed to purchase them. Fourteen hundred contracts were signed in one day in 1949.Levittown symbolized the most significant social trend of the postwar era in the United States ——the flight to the suburbs. The resulting massive shift in population from the central city to the suburbs was accompanied by a baby “boom”that started after soldiers returned home from the Second World War and got married. By 1960, one-third of the nation’s population lived in the suburbs. The nation underwent its greatest increase in population since 1910.76. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Levittown was built by William Levitt with the mass-production method.B. Levittown served as an ideal and leading example of social changes in the U.S. after theSecond World War.C. Increases in the population of the United States after the war.D. Why there was a housing shortage after the Second World War.77. What was the original reason for Levitt to use the method of mass production to buildhouses?A. In order to reduce the cost of the construction.B. He wished young Americans could have their own houses after the war.C. There was a population shift from central city to the suburbs.D. He was forced to do so because of the lack of time.78. One of the reasons Levittowns were criticized by some observers was that .A. the land on which the first Levittown was built was previously used for agricultureB. the methods Levitt used for construction were new to themC. the Levittown houses were lack of varietyD. home building shouldn’t be changed from a cottage industry into a majormanufacturing process79. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Levitt’s houses led to the great shift in population after the Second World War.B. William Levitt met the postwar need of young Americans to raise their childrenoutside the central city.C. Levittown became the world’s most perfectly planned community.D. The population of the United States increased sharply after the Second World War.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for80.Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). It’s an instinct that can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.81.the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending.82.You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phones ring, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these works for you, it doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.83.other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.84.The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this person who would alwayswant to be there for them, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from ha rm.第II卷（共45分）I.
