2008年高考英语试题及参考答案(江苏卷)

08高考英语试题讲解江苏卷英语试题参考答案及解析：第一部分：听力1. B2. A3. C4. A5. B6. A7. C8. C9. A 10. A11.C 12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 16. a 17. B 18. B 19. A 20.C解析略第二部分：英语语言知识运用第一节：单项选择21. B 解析：by sea是固定词组，用作状语，表示方式，意为“乘船”。

类似词组还有by air (乘飞机)，by land (由陆路)。

第二个空缺选the，表“特指”。

22. C 解析：由于问句是含有mind (介意)的一般疑问句，其否定回答的简略式是Not (意为“不介意”)，或Not at all (意为“一点儿也不介意”)。

23. B 解析：本题考查的是打电话时的用语，"Hold on”意为“别挂”。

24. A 解析：本题考查的重点是非限制性定语从句。

大家知道，非限制性定语从句的先行词指物时，应用which而不用that，故A项正确。

25. D 解析：no hurry意为“不急”。

从问句可知，对方有点儿“着急”，所以答方说，“没关系，不急”。

“no+名词”这一结构是英语中常见搭配，no problem (没问题)，no wonder (怪不得)，no doubt (无疑)，常见的还有no way (没门儿)。

26. A 解析：Many hands make light work.是谚语，意为“人多好办事”在近几年的高考英语江苏卷中，曾多次考查学生对谚语、习语的掌握情况。

如06年第28小题考的是谚语No pains, no gains. “不花力气，岂能成事。

”27. D 解析：本题考查的是固定搭配。

not … but …是固定词组，意为“不是……而是……”。

28. B 解析：beyond是介词，意为“（程度）超出”，beyond repair是“无法修理”。

Beyond属“课本外、考纲内”的词汇，对于这类词，大家在平时应多多关注其常用法。

Test questions and answer choices are presented on the 55 and students can answer with a tap of the keyboard or a click of the mouse. Before the actual test begins ,there usually is an instruction showing how to use the computer to 56 the questions. Scores are displayed on the screen at the end of the test so that a student has immediate feedback 57 having to return several days later for results.Some computerized tests are “adaptive”. This means that a test question is selected from a large pool of items based on how the test taker has responded to the 58 question. The first question presented is of medium difficulty. If the test taker answers 59 , the next item will be more difficult. If he or she answers incorrectly, the next question will be easier. The computer 60 questions by level of difficulty and many other factors, such as sex, race and age references, subject area the question is drawn from, and form of question, before presenting it on the screen. In this way, the questions are “adapted” to find the true skill 61 of the test taker.Among all the conveniences of computerized testing, there are some 62 . No longer can you have a quick look at the 63 test, answer the easy questions first, and come back later to finish the difficult ones. Test items are presented one at a time, and you must choose an answer in order to move on to the next question. On adaptive tests, once you have confirmed your answer, you cannot go back to 64 it if, later on, you realize that your answer was wrong.55．A．screen B．paper C．board D．surface56．A ．put aside B ．concentrate on C ．respond to D ．apply to57．A ．other than B ．rather than C ．regardless of D ．as to58．A ．previous B ．basic C ．following D ．single59．A ．briefly B ．smartly C ．correctly D ．thoughtfully60．A ．classifies B ．answers C ．considers D ．recognizes61．A ．standard B ．factor C ．pattern D ．level62．A ．qualities B ．limits C ．services D ．features63．A ．formal B ．objective C ．final D ．entire64．A ．identify B ．exchange C ．change D ．overlookⅣ．Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinishedstatements. 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.AOne night, Mrs Riley, an elderly woman, was walking along a dark, London street. She was carrying her handbag in one hand and a plastic carrier bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two youths. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall with fair hair, the other was short and fat with a beard.The youths waited for a few moments, and then ran quickly and quietly towards Mrs Riley. The tall youth held her from behind while the other youth tried to seize her handbag.Suddenly, Mrs Riley threw the tall youth over her shoulder. He crashed into the other youth and they both landed on the ground. Without speaking, Mrs Riley struck both of them on the head with her handbag, and walked calmly away.The two surprised youths were still sitting on the ground when Mrs Riley crossed the street towards a door with a lighted sign above it. Mrs Riley paused, turned round, smiled at the youths and walked into the South West London Judo (柔道) Club.65．The two youths were standing in a dark shop doorway because ________.A ．they had nothing to doB ．they were homelessC ．they were waiting for a victimD ．they were guarding the shop66．What did Mrs Riley do to the two youths?A ．She hurt them seriously.B ．She taught them a lesson.C ．She reported them to the police.D ．She sent them to a judo club.67．The story tells about an elderly woman who ___________.A ．went shopping at nightB ．was on her way homeC ．had just left a shopping centerD ．had a skill of self-defenceBDear Customers,I love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long read －as I relax into thechair, I also relax into the author ’s words, stories, and ideas. The physical book isso elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is theauthor ’s world.Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines, andnewspapers.We ’ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design objective was for Mindletodisappear in your hands－to get out of the way－so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed－you do your reading directly from the device.We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install. We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces－less than a paperback－but can carry two hundred books.Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!Leff BezosFounder & CEO68．This passage most probably is a(n) _______.A．advertisement B．news storyC．lab report D．letter of thanks69．From the passage we learn that Mindle is a device which _______.A．has neither wires nor weight B．is operated by a computerC．disappears while you read D．can find a book within one minute70．With the device, the reader is able to ___________.A．enjoy reading when driving a car B．improve reading skillsC．gain access to free software D．get rid of heavy books made of paper71．Different from mobile phones, Mindle ________.A．has a much more friendly screen B．can work in the absence of electricityC．doesn’t involve regular fees D．is wireless and can be used anywhereCSmall discoveries in Indonesia are causing a stir in the science world. Researchers have unearthed(挖掘) tiny bones that they believe belong to an entirely new human species. If that’s true, it will change how we think about our ancestors.Clues that the little people may have lived long ago were first revealed last year in the scientific journal Nature. Scientists said that they had found the bones of a three-foot-tall female on the island of Flores, in Indonesia. When they looked more closely, they saw that the nearly complete skeleton(骨骼) belonged to a full-grown adult. Researchers named her Hobbit, after the tiny heroes of the Lord of the Rings books.Now the team is saying it has unearthed even more pieces of the puzzle, including a jawbone and parts of arms, legs and hands form several individuals, as well as stone tools. They reported their find in Nature this month. “The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species, distinct from modern humans,” Peter Brown, a scientist on the team, said. They named these ancient humans Homo floresiensis.Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago. If Homo floresiensis was a different species from modern humans, that would make our family tree bigger than we knew. It means, says Brown, that “until recently, a relative shared the planet with us.”Many scientists think a new species is unlikely. Some argue that the bones must have belonged to modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.Daniel E. Lieberman, a scientist at Harvard University, thinks that the debate over the discovery is healthy. He believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about these unusualskeletons. “Disagreement is an important part of the scientific process,” Lieberman said. “As far as I’m concerned, the story’s only just begun.”72．Researchers name the skeleton Hobbit because ________.A．it is a figure described in the Lord of the Rings B．it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of booksC．it proves to be a full – grown adult D．it belongs to ancient human species73．Small discoveries in Indonesia are important because .A．they are revealed in the scientific journal Nature B．they are made by Peter Brown, a famous scientist C．they are about ancestors of modern humans D．they might provide new evidence for human study 74．According to Daniel E. Lieberman, .A．Homo floresiensis doesn’t exist B．disagreement leads to further researchC．the investigation hasn’t begun yet D．our family tree is bigger than we knew 75．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Comparison between Different Peoples B．Arguments over Human OriginC．Discovery of a Possible New Human Species D．History of Indonesian PeopleDRail passengers are being forced to pay thousands of pounds more in fares as a result of poor advice from the national telephone helpline and individual stations, a consumer organization reveals today. Research by Which? found that in some cases passengers are being charged almost double the cheapest price because of errors made by staff.Which? asked 25 questions of both station staff and the National Rail Enquiries (NRES) helpline. Only half of the 50 questions were answered correctly. If customers had followed all the advice given, they would have been ￡1,263.60 worse off.Bad advice was given for the cheapest fare for a single journey between London and Grantham. For a ticket bought on the day of travel, both NRES and a King’s Cross station clerk quoted GNER’s ￡44.50 fare, ignoring a Hull Trains service which leaves 10 minutes earlier and costs just ￡20.Some of the most costly misinformation was given for journeys where season tickets should have been recommended. Passengers making a return journey between Swindon and Penzance twice in a week could buy a ticket from one company for ￡70 which would cover all the travel. But both NRES and station staff quoted￡67 for each journey, making ￡134. However, the NRES website proved to be a much more reliable source of information.Which? also checked “the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket” claims by five companies and found this was not always the case. On some services, prices went up and down at random.Ithiel Mogridge, 52, gave one example of poor advice: “Last Christmas I found my brother a ticket on the thetrainline. com to travel from Blackburn to Yate. While the direct route was ￡51, this one involved a change in Newport and cost just ￡21. I emailed the details to him and his partner. They went to Blackburn station, where the clerk insisted the fare was ￡51.”Malcolm Coles, editor of which. co. uk, said: “Staff training needs to be improved. In the meantime, we’ve designed a checklist, available at which. co. uk/ railadvice.”76．According to the passage, “Which?” is a .A．national telephone helpline B．department under the British RailC．consumer organization D．website under the National Rail Enquiries77．When the author said that customers “would have been ￡1，263，60 worse off”, he was telling us that customers would have .A．saved ￡1,263,60 if they had followed the adviceB．spent ￡1,263,60 more than the lowest priceC．used ￡1,263,60 for the survey of 25 questionsD ．been cheated of ￡1,263,60 from the poor advice78．The phrase at random in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A ．casuallyB ．purposefullyC ．exactlyD ．inevitably79．The passage is mainly concened with the phenomenon that .A ．train passengers get bad advice on faresB ．rail passengers are ill – treated by station staffC ．booking clerks and the telephone helpline offer reliable informationD ．rail passengers can get cheaper tickets if they book earlierEDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A – F for each paragraph. There is80European television had the idea of taking ordinary people and turning them into “stars ” by putting them inunusual situations. “Big Brother ” (created in Holland) was one of the first. A group of people were locked in a small house with cameras running 24 hours a day. It was called a “watch and dial ” show because viewers vote by 81 “Big Brother ” was probably the first of the new reality shows, bus such a programme has developed. Many have found appeal by having a theme to them, but most are based on the principle of “survival of the fittest ” by eliminating participants as the series progresses. So we have the dating shows where winners either pair off or stay true to their partners outside the TV studio. Then there are those that test people ’s abilities for specific jobs 82 of them? For the viewer it ’s an opportunity to “people watch ”. It ’s natural to like watching other people. They ’re interesting. We can imagine what we would do in that situation. We get to know the characters and see them grow and develop week after week. And of course, television is the perfect place to watch people. Like the theatre or cinema we can look at other people and they can ’t look back. But with television, we can watch in the privacy of ’t have to admit it to anyone.83 The TV companies like reality shows because they are cheap to produce and attract younger viewers, which advertisers like. The last “Big Brother ” in Britain attracted enormous advertising revenue. They aren ’t dependent on “star ” actors with enormous salaries. And your actors won ’t go on strike. And why do people participate in them? Well, for fame and money of course. In the past, appearing on television wasn ’t for ordinary people. You had to be good at something, like sport, or reading the news, or acting. But not any more.84from country to country too. For example, one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father, and another had a family arguing over an inheritance. Both were cancelled after one episode. Perhaps thenovelty has worn off. Certainly, reality TV seems to appeal much more to the younger audience. And now there are so many shows around even the young have become more critical. Reality shows will probably survive – it’s just no longer so easy to make a successful one.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1．你擦一下窗好吗？（mind）2．有困难请向警察求助。

And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successfulstudent. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.56. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you57. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests58. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBWe experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.59. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is ______.A. the atmosphere surrounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakesC. energy from the SunD. greenhouse gases in the sky60. Only a small part of the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface because most of it _______________.A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereB. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphereC. lost in the upper and lower atmosphereD. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes61. We learn from the passage that _______________.A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their foodB. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyC. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the EarthD. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surfaceC62. When people come to visit the Gallery, they should ____________.A. leave all their carried items at the checkroomsB. have all their carried items x-rayed at the entranceC. take all their carried items with them without inspectionD. have all their carried items inspected at the entrance63.

College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. it’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it, ” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly.“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside,“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”“Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …”Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.66. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Belser.B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.D. His present busy life washed away his children memories.67. Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that _________.A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doingB. Mr. Belser’s funeral would take place on WednesdayC. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing addressD. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together68. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch?A. Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him.B. Because he had no children or relatives.C. Because he thought he had to keep his word.D. Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood.69. Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?A. He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.B. He had promised to spare more time to stay with his son.C. He had missed his son and his family for days.D. He came to realize the importance of the time with his family.70. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. The Good Old TimesB. What He Valued MostC. An Old Gold WatchD. The Lost Childhood Days第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题１分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Evaluate第五部分Good afternoon, everyone!The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”.Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpers onal relationship.Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will u nderstand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should liste n more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in agood relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.What I want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. Show your res pect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a support ive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you do n’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.Thank you for your listening! (from )。

Besides, now the school says there must be no homework because the local secondary school can't keep up with the amount of homework given in the primary school. Can the school do this? Puzzled DadIt can't if enough parents do something about it. It is not just schools. We live in a society which wishes to get rid of risk. However, schools should have a little common sense and courage. Children need risk if they arc to grow up self-sufficient and confident. They need homework, too, if they are to fulfill their academic potential. Complain, loudly.I have a beautiful teenage daughter who spends an hour making up her face in front of the mirror every day. I tell her to go easy. She just gets mad or bursts into tears. How can I make her understand she's beautiful the way she is. Plain MomYou can't. Your daughter is at the age when she's trying to look beautiful, trying on new masks. And if her friends all dress up as she docs, you're in for an extra hard time. Support her and tell her she's beautiful — even if she looks ridiculous for now. Then invite her to join you for a day at a spa (健康美容中心).

The solution to Plain Mom's problem is to______.A. make her daughter look less ridiculousB. let her daughter dress up like her friendsC. make her daughter go to a spa every weekD. let her daughter feel herself what beauty is(B)Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well —she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through." she said. "After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life."Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm. "The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all 1 need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been leaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing — watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now."68. When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a ______life.A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring69.

A misfortune may turn out a blessing.D. Kill two birds with one stone.(C)A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees (学费) are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £ 31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £ 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £ 10.000. Average debts for graduates are £ 12，363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said. "The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they arc to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.72. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students' payback ability has become a major issue.73. The phrase "to raise the ceiling" in paragraph 2 probably means "______".A. to raise the student loansB. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuitionD. to lift the school building roofs74. According to Stephen Moir, students_______.A. are too young 10 be exposed 10 financial issuesB. should learn 10 manage their finances wellC- should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance75. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a required course at college.D. Young people should become responsible adults.(D)The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases. combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we'll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or S10 billion altogether.Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol (乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods — tree crops, grasses and wood products — but there's no case for the government to pay to put the world's dinner into the gas tank.Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond — which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather — can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation hind to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.76. An international fund based on the Malawi model would______.A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per yearB. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries In a yearC. decrease the food prices as well as the energy pricesD. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds77. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that ______.A. it is not wise to change food crops into gasB. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tankC. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any wayD. biofuels should be developed on a large scale78. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry wealB. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help poorC. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.D. It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not.79. In the passage, the author calls on us to______.A. slow down but not to stop economic.B. develop tree crops, grasses and wood productsC. achieve economic growth and political stabilityD. act now so as to relieve the global food shortageSection 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.80.The causes of eating disorders are not clear. There may be genetic or biochemical factors in some cases. There may be psychological problems from early childhood or the present (such as school or family conflicts) that trigger the problem. Often, there is the double pressure to enjoy life through food and yet remain ultra-slim. Society all around us encourages eating and drinking as main ways to enjoy life- To be popular, you are supposed to eat. eat, eat81.But in real life most people, if they keep consuming like that, just keep pulling on more and more weight They then find themselves in conflict with another dominant pressure in society —to stay slim and trim. Models in ads, even those shown eating fairy foods, are usually physically lit and quite thin. All of these pressures put teens in a terrible situation. The".solution" that some teens choose is to deny themselves all the time so as to keep temptation away. Bui soon, hunger and food boredom lead to overeating. Over time they develop anorexia or bulimia.82.Once an eating disorder has become firmly established, there is no easy cure. Someone who's never suffered anorexia and never known an anorexic might be tempted to think. "It's simple — just tell them to eat more!" Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Even when anorexics have been brought into the hospital and arc receiving physical care, nutritional therapy, and psychiatric care, many don't improve much.83.Our society's obsession with thinness, together with a constant emphasis on the theme that rich food means pleasure, puts many teens in a difficult situation. Being drawn to overeating on the one hand and self-denial on the other can bring about anorexia or bulimia — or both. Anorexics seem to feel that no matter how much weight they lose, they are still too fat Therefore, it is important for each person in our society to try to maintain a healthy and realistic self-image. Don't compare yourself with the models and actors in the media Set your sights more realistically by comparing yourself with family and friends, if anyone.84.Self-denial is the typical first step toward an caring disorder. Eventually, desires for whatyou've denied yourself become unbearable, and you react with either a binge or overly fierce self-control. The answer is not of course, to eat all the snacks and treats you fancy. But 10 avoid that first step that leads to overeating, strive for a good and healthy diet Such a diet is based primarily on grain products, fruits, and vegetables, with moderate amounts of meat and dairy products and with small amounts of snacks and desserts. Research demonstrates that mis kind of diet leaves you more alert and energetic.第Ⅱ卷（45分）I.
