The problem, as far as the government, experts and many parents are ___41___, is that kids are just not doing ___42___ of it.It’s not just a question of chi ldren not reading the classics—difficult works by William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens. Reading ___43___ is in crisis in the UK. Many different reasons are given: lack of encouragement form parents, competition from TV andthe Internet and computer games.But the government and schools have not given up on youngsters. There are many schemes to encourage kids to read more and thereby get into the habit of a(n) ___44___ that will bring real fulfillment.The National Literacy Trust (NLT), a body, set up by the government, ___45___ has a scheme called “Reading Champions”. This summer Reading Champions has a(n) ___46___ called “Quest Seekers”. It is___47___ to take children on a ride into ___48___ and wondrous land where they can discover the joy of reading and nurture a ___49___ love affair with reading and books. The idea is to turn a trip to their local library into a kind of magical adventure, of the kind that young readers love in the Harry Potter books.III. Reading Comprehension 15%Section AMore and more young women want to look beautiful. Young women’s desire to achieve the figure of a fashion model has an 50 form of expression in the problem of anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is a(n) 51 disorder which occurs largely among young girls; 52 , it is also found among some of the young women, and in some cases, among boys.Anorexia nervosa is 53 starvation attitudes toward food, and distorted (扭曲的) body image. 54 they are often extremely thin, anorexic girls believe that they are fat and are 55 on dieting. Their perceptions of their own bodies are very much distorted. They do not see themselves as thin but 56 , as fat. Most 57 of anorexia lose 25 percent or more of their body fat. Anorexia also causes them to become weak. From five to six percent of anorexics __58 _die from starvation.Anorexia, which means “without food”, seems to bequite 59 among young girls, although it was 60 a problem twenty years ago. The 61 of Anorexia is not known. Researchers are trying to find out its 62 but it is related to a psychological (心理的) need. One theory is that they want to avoid becoming an adult, since starvation can 63 down physical growth and the beginning of puberty(青春期). Another theory is that anorexia is related to refusal of the mother figure or to being the daughter of an overly protective and controlling mother. By being anorexic, the girl shows her ability to _64 _at least one aspect of her own life. In addition, researchers note that the problem may result in a wrong body image---the ideal of female beauty of being very thin. 50．A ．ordin ary B ．extreme C ．interest ing D ．everlasti ng 51．A ．acting B ．sleeping C ．studying D ．eating 52．A ．howe ver B ．furtherm ore C ．anyho w D ．therefore 53．A ．brought by B ．found in C ．regard ed as D ．characte rized by 54．A ．Beca use B ．When C ．Althou gh D ．If 55．A ．forced B ．willing C ．checke D ．fixedd 56．A ．rather B ．neverthel ess C ．further D ．even 57．A ．lovers B ．victims C ．women D ．patients 58．A ．greatly B ．strangely C ．actually D ．steadily 59．A ．strange B ．common C ．possibl e D ．often 60．A ．hardly B ．certainly C ．hopeful ly D ．exactly 61．A ．medi cine B ．truth C ．result D ．cause 62．A ．possi bility B ．opportun ity C ．necessi ty D. importance 63．A ．break B ．cut C ．slow D ．turn 64．A ．contr olB ．improveC ．buildD ．instructSection B 30%A Today’s dad spends more hours on childcare than a dad a generation ago. But he still lags behind the modern-day mom, even when her wages are equal, anew study reports. Researchers found that the number of hours a mother spent at work had no effect on the amount of time a father devoted to childcare during the week. Similarly, a mother’s income had very little influence on fathers’ involvement in childcare. On weekends, however, fathers spent more time with their children. Despite women’s increasing role in the labor market, most mothers remain the primary caregivers of young children on weekdays.Researchers found that fathers spent an average of 2.5 hours on a weekday and about 6 hours on a weekend day with their children. This included time spent playing together or doing schoolwork, personal care such as bathing and feeding. On weekdays, children spent one-third less time with their fathers than with their mothers, but on weekends the time gap closed and kids spent only 13% more time with their mothers than with their fathers. Children of women who made more money spent more time with their fathers on weekends, however. “The good news is that as women become equal contributing partners, the relative involvement of fathers does increase,” one researcher said. “The bad news is tha t men still do less on traditional women’s jobs —(taking care of) babies, dishes, etc.”In other findings, fathers with some college education spent 17 more minutes per weekday with their children than dads without any college education. Fathers whomade more money spent less time with children on weekdays, but the amount of time was fairly small. “Our findings suggest that although mothers still shoulder most parenting, fathers’ involvement relative to that of mothers appears to be on the increase,” the r esearchers conclude. “A ‘new father’ role is emerging on weekends in families.”65．The underlined word “This”in the second paragraph refers to _________.A．the study reported in the textB．the role a father plays in childcareC．time a father spends with his children on weekends D．time a father spends with his children during the whole week66．Which of the following explains a fathers’ increasing involvement in childcare?A．Women’s liberation movement.B．The kind of job women do.C．The kind of job fathers do. D． A mother’s income.67．Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the text?A．Fathers are more involved but mothers are still main caregivers.B．Children need care from both parents in a family.C．Education is the key to the improvement of women’s good health and happiness.D．Women have become equal contributing partners of income in a family.68．Which of the words below best describes the researchers’ attitude towards a “new father” role?A．Surprised. B．Pleased.C．Disappointed. D．Dissatisfied.BYou can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming.69. What is the best title for the passage?A. Tips to Save MoneyB. Approaches to being Earth-FriendlyC. Strategies to End Global-WarmingD. Ways to Limit Carbon Dioxide70. According to the writer, what will happen if our PC is switched off when not in use?A. It will help to save a large amount of money.B. It will help to reduce a great deal of CO2.C. It will save the amount of oil that runs your car for a mile.D. It will be like planting 1.7 million acres of newtrees.71. Which strategies suggest recycling or reuse of things?A. Strategies 1 & 3.B. Strategies 2 & 5.C. Strategies 3 & 6.D. Strategies 4 & 5.72. What benefits do these strategies have in common?A. They all help reduce the use of energy like electricity.B. They all cut down the amount of the use of paper.C. They all result in producing less greenhouse gases.D. They all aid to preserve our trees and forest.CJust the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques.From computer - equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry(条目) “next”. Then another question will be randomly(任意地)selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfied with theirperformance, or “score” if they want to see the result. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, student's marks are official--there is no going back.Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices( 登记处)for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day.In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past，eachexaminee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.73. Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores .A. immediately on a central computer for scoring test papersB. a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center workerC. on the next day after they have taken theexamD. immediately after the exam by means of the same computer74. If an examinee is not satisfied with his performance .A. he can admit defeat and give it upB. he can ask the computer to give some adviceC. he can ask another chance within a few daysD. he is allowed to do it once again75. Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that .A. different exams can be taken in the same roomB. one doesn’t need to rush to the registration officer for taking an examC. it will be much easier to pass an examinationD. one can take an exam almost at any time of the yearDA team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, reported that middle- aged men without wives were actually twice as likely to die during a 10 — year span as men with wives. It was the kind of news that swept through offices and watering holes —and it made people feel conceited or anxious, depending on their circumstances.Davis’s team had set out to examine the effect of various living arrangements on mortality (the number of death from a certain cause). Because of the buffering (缓冲作用) social support marriage is known to provide,Davis and her colleagues fully expected to find that men and women living alone did worst in survival rates. It came as some surprise, however, that in their study population, subjects who shared living quarters with people other than a spouse had the same lower survival rates as those who lived by themselves. 'The critical factor," Davis says, "seems to be the presence of a spouse."The lower survival rates for the spouseless were found primarily in men who were widowed(丧偶), separated or divorced, rather than in those who had never been married. Emotional and social factors probably played a role in higher mortality among the spouseless men. The researchers will analyze questionnaires that asked how frequently the men feltworried, nervous or poorly rested. But the team will also look at the causes of death; if the men without wives show higher rates of suicide or fatal accidents, it’s likely that emotional stress contributed to their higher mortality rate.Davis has already discovered that the married men reported a significantly higher level of well- being than those who weren’t married. So perhaps the explanation for their longer survival isn’t really so complicated. Because they are cared for by nurturing wives, they just plain feel happier than the other guys do. And what better reason than that for staying alive?76. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The mortality of middle- aged men is closelyrelated to their well - being.B. The mortality of middle- aged men is directly proportional to their wives' survival rates.C. The mortality of middle- aged men is not inproportion to their divorce rates.D. The mortality of middle- aged men is closely related to their marriage condition.77. The news reported makes .A. the widowers happy and the widows worriedB. the married happy and the spouseless worriedC. the divorced happy and the separated worriedD. the widowed happy and the spouse worried78. It seems that in terms of survival rates .A. widowed men are easier to be hurt than widowed womenB. married men are easier to be hurt than married womenC. married women are easier to be hurt than married menD. widowed women are easier to be hurt than widowed men79. It can be predicted, while looking at the cause of death, researchers will .A. remove certain health factorsB. consider the circumstancesC. consider racial supportD. remove certain emotional factorsSection C 5%E80. _______In the 1960s, people asked about your astrological sign. In the 1990s, they wanted to know your website. These days, having a Web address is almost as important as a street address. You website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millionsof people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.81. _______Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. Like the table of contents of a book or a magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it. While web pages vary greatly in their design andcontent, most use a traditional magazine layout. At the top of the page is a banner GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, texts, and links to other websites follow.82. _______Before you start building your site, do some planning. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper. 83. _______While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: start simply. If you are too ambitious at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site. Less isbetter. Most people don’t like to read a lot of text online. Break it into small pieces. Smaller is better. Most people connect to the Internet with a modem. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it l egally. Learn the Net’s Copyright Article for more about this.84. _______Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building. Learning the Net Communities provides tools to help you build your site.第Ⅱ卷（45分）I.Translation 20%Directions: Translate the following sentences intoEnglish, using the words given in the brackets.1. 我不太喜欢吃甜的东西。

There, a school teacher asked the youth his name. “J.C” he replied. She taught he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part-time so as to pay for his education. As a second –year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event . He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.“It was all right with me, ”he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said, “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard. ”56. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when ________.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J. C.” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet57. In the Big Ten meet, Owens _______.A. hurt himself in the backB. succeeded in setting many recordsC. tried every sports event but failedD. had to give up some events58. We can infer form the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that timebecause_______.A. he was not of the right raceB. he was the son of a poor farmerC. he didn’t shake hands with HitlerD. he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone59. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means thatmedals_____A. have been changed for money to help him live onB. have made him famous in the USC. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs60. Which of the following is a suitable title for the test?A. Jesse Owens, a Great American AthleteB. Golden Moment, a Life-time StruggleC. Making a Living as a SportsmanD. How to Be a Successful AthleteBA “dark horse” is one that shows unexpected racing speed and comes in first, even though the experts said he had little chance of winning.In politics, an unknown candidate (候选人)for office who wins a nomination (提名) or election is called a “dark horse”.British Prime Minister Benjamin Disrael is believed to have been the first to use the phrase. In his novel, “The Young Duke” published in1831. Disrael described a horse race and told how the two top choices fell behind, while “a dark horse” which had never been thought of rushing past the grandstand in a sweeping triumph.From racing to politics was a short step. As a political phrase, “dark horse ” appeared for the first time in the national Democratic Party congress of 1844. The “dark horse ” was James Knox Polk who became the 11th President of the United States.Polk had been the leader of the House of Representatives from 1835 to 1839. He had also been Governor of the state of Tennessee. But as a national leader he was considered a political nobody.Nevertheless, he surprisingly won the Democratic nomination and was elected President.Martin Van Buren of New York, a former President, seemed sure of getting the nomination. But he opposed making the territory (领土) of Texas part of the United States as another state. He was against it because there was slavery in Texas. Van Buren did not want another slave state in the Union. As a result, he lost support among those Democrats who supported slavery.At the 1884 congress, Van Buren could not get enough votes to win the nomination. The congress got into trouble. Therefore, the Democratic leaders decided that the only wise thing would be to run a “dark horse”, a man who could unite the party.And so, one of the party leaders, George Bancroft, proposed the name of James Knox Polk. He won, and the party united behind him, And he defeated his opponent, Henry Clay ofthe Wing Party.After the 1844 congress, the “dark horse ”candidates became an established fact of national political life.One historian said, “The invention of the dark horse was in itself a remarkable product of our professional politics.” This made it possible for party leaders to choose candidates who were not tied to certain ideas. Therefore, they represented nothing and had developed few enemies.61. The term “dark horse ” is often used to refer to _______.A. a horse that can be in the lead all the timeB. a horse that can attracts attention for its dark colorC. a person that people think the first to succeedD. a person who achieves some goal unexpectedly62. The author introduced the novel “The Young Duke” with the intention that_____.A. he would come to tell us about a “dark horse” in politics.B. he would point out how the nobleman appreciated horse racingC. he would tell us how the dark horse rushed past the two top horsesD. he would describe the fierce competition in the party63. The failure of Martin Van Buren in the nomination lay in the fact that_______.A. he opposed the territory of Texas becoming a part of the United StatesB. he had already been president of the United States for yearsC. he couldn’t get support from the Democrats who would keep slaveryD. he had made few achievements during his presidency64. According to the author, Polk’s being nominated and elected President is consideredentirely_______ .A. a good choiceB. a lucky chanceC. a difficult processD. an expected resultCThe atmosphere and oceans are not the only parts of the environment being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E.O. Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, called the depletion(枯竭) of rain forest areas “the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs”.Unlike some environmental issues, rain forest depletion has fortunately received significant public and media attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazon’s rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well. In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua-new Geinea, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forests are cut down every year.The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says every minute, 25 to 50 acres are cut or burned to the ground.The world’s growing population has been a primary reason of rain forest destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of steps that would limit the destruction of the rain forests.65．In the opinion of the author, _______ are being destroyed terribly at present.A. the rain forestsB. the oceansC. the atmosphereD. all the above66. Why did Wilson regard “the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs” tobe the depletion of rain forest areas?A. The rain forests’ survival is questionable.B. The writer did not give explanation in detail.C. Many wild animals and beasts will extinct as a result of the depletion of rain forests.D. It will become warmer and warmer with the depletion of rain forests.67. The word “chop down ” in the second paragraph means _______.A. cut downB. clearC. make room forD. destroy68. Why did the depletion of rain forests result from the world’s growing population?a.People liked cutting down large amounts of rain forests to make all kinds offurniture.b. People need more land to live on.c. People must make more room to build all kinds of buildings to live in .d. People need more wooden products to use.A. a and cB. a and bC. b and dD. c and d69. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The author thought the oceans’ survival is questionable.B. Luckily people and mass media all paid special attention to the depletion of rainforestsC. People have stopped cutting down rain forests because of the opposition of mostpeople .D. The United Nations says about 50 million acres of rain forests are cut down everyyear.DWeekly WatchAnti-Japanese War marked nationwideChinese people throughout the country held activities on September 18 in remembrance of the outbreak of the Anti- Japanese War (1937-1945).For three minutes, loud air-defense sirens simultaneously sounded at 21:18 on the night of September 18 in the cities of Harbin, Changchun and Shenyang in northeastern China.A symposium was held in Nanjing, where Japanese troops killed 300,000 soldiers and civilians during the Nanjing Massacre in December 1937.Rainstorm kills 19Rainstorm hit Sichuan Province recently, leaving 19 people dead and 11 missing. The storms, which have affected 22 cities and counties, have brought rainfall ranging from 50mmto 250mm.Traffic and power supplies were shut off in some affected areas, forcing local factories, shops and schools to close. A number of roads, farmlands, bridges, storage and irrigation facilities were damaged by the storm.A group of U.S. police officers visited Guizhou Province on September 17 and exchanged views with local police officers on anti-drug addiction work.The delegation visited an anti-drug addiction center under the Guiyang City Police Bureau, and talked with people who voluntarily came to the center to overcome their addictions.Sheriff Harry Lee, head of the delegation , said China has had some experiences that the United States can learn from in assisting and educating people who want to stop using drugs.70.

To stay healthy , we must eat more fruits and vegetables and sweet potatoes are a great source of beta carotene(胡萝卜素)and other carotenoids. According to a study of the diets of almost 90,000 nurses, eating about one cup a day of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids (which the body turns into vitamin A) can cut you risk of stoke in half and reduce your risk of heart disease by 22 percent. Other research suggests beta carotene protects against breast, lung and stomach cancers.Beta carotene is the most famous member of the carotenoids family. In fact, a medium-sized sweet potato contains nearly 12mg of beta carotene(anti-aging experts usually suggest 6 to 11 mg per day). Sweet potatoes are also a low-fat source of vitamin E. Research has linked high E diets with a lower risk of heart disease. This vitamin pill in an orange jacket also packs a vitamin C punch--- it has more C than apricots (a kind of fruit). Research suggests that vitamin C protects against ailments ranging from cataracts (an eye disease) to cancer. In addition, a UCLA(University of California, Los Angeles) study linked high vitamin C dietswith a longer life . Recent studies have showed that antioxidant vitamins C, E and beta carotene fight a fierce battle against free radicals(自由基)，which cause cell damage and lead to various illness. Therefore, to keep fit, eat more sweet potatoes.73. According to the test, there exists a lot of _______ in sweet potatoes.A. fiber, beta carotene, other carotenoids, vitamin E and C.B. beta carotene, other carotenoids, fiber, vitamin A and EC. vitamin A, beta carotene, fiber, vitamin E and CD. beta carotene, other carotenoids, vitamin A and E74.

The sound that any given word makes, or the sounds that come from specific groups of words used together, are what make poetry so unique as a form of writing. A typical story or report does not focus on the sounds that each _____34____ word makes when read. But poems generally contain few words, so it is important that each word plays a role in making an impact on the reader. Rhythm is the flow of sounds created by successive words in a poem. When you read a poem you can often hear this ____35____ pattern, or “beat,” in the sounds. This is called meter.Some of the oldest and best-known poetry in the world came from Ancient Greece.

Without ____45____ from some other human being or beings, be it mother, grandmother, or human group, a child is very unlikely to survive. This helplessness of human infants is in marked contrast with the ____46____ of many new born animals to get to their ____47____ within minutes of birth and run with the herd within a few hours.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AMen of HonorA knight was a mounted warrior of medieval Europe who served a king or other feudal superior, usually in return for land. Knighthood was taken quite seriously and had to be earned.At about the age of eight, a boy would begin training in preparation for knighthood. This young trainee, known as a page(男侍者), would train with mentors to learn about horses, armor, and weapons. Pages practiced fighting with a sword against a wooden stake and learned to skillfully use a bow and arrow. The lady of the castle taught a young page about manners and social graces, as well as how to sing, play instruments, and dance. A priest might give a page religious training and teach him to read and write.By the age of fourteen, the page would become a squire（护卫）. A squire was responsible for dressing a knight for battles and tournaments and taking care of the knight's armor and weapons. He would even follow his master on the battlefield to protect him if the knight fell.A squire had to gain skill in using a lance, spear, or sword, so he would practice against a wooden dummy called a quintain（枪靶）. The quintain and a shield were hung on a wooden pole, and when hit, the whole structure would spin. The squire would learn to ride up and hit the shield's center, but then quickly move out of the way without getting hit and knocked off his horse by the quintain.At about age twenty, a squire was finally prepared to be called a knight, which involved an extended ceremony. On the evening before becoming a knight, the squire confessed his sins to apriest, was given a symbolic bath, and then fasted in order to cleanse his soul. The squire would dress all in white and stay in a chapel all night praying and watching over his weapons and armor.In the morning, the squire would dress in symbolically-colored clothing: red for his blood, white for purity, and brown for his return to the earth after death. At his induction ([in'dʌkʃən] 入会仪式), the knight swore a code of chivalry, which required him always to be brave, loyal, courteous, and to protect the defenseless. Knighthood was granted by the overlord with an accolade, during which the new knight was tapped on the shoulders or neck with the flat side of the sword.If this new knight ever broke his vows or acted dishonorably, he would be stripped of his knighthood in another ceremony, in which he was "buried." In the Middle Ages, a knight without honor was considered as good as dead.56.What were the responsibilities of a squire?A.Practicing fighting with a sword and using a bow and arrow skillfully.B.Looking after his own weapons and learning manners from the Lady of the castle.C.Confessing his sin and praying for his mentors.D.Dressing a knight for battles or competitions and protecting him.57.What does the underlined word “ chivalry” mean ?A.the noble spirits a knight possessesB.the tough task a knight has to finishC.the high goal a knight must achieveD.the military discipline a knight should obey58.If a knight were to betray the king, what do you think might happen?A. He would be sentenced to death.B. He would be robbed of his title.C. He would be forced to leave Court.D. His land would be returned to the King.59.Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?A. A knight had to be highly born.B. A knight had gone through different stages of training to become a KNIGHT.C. A knight was militarily skillful but not necessarily literate.D. Knighthood started in the Medieval Ages and existed only in England.BReading Your MindModern technology allows scientists to look inside a living human brain to see what is happening. These procedures are safe and painless. By understanding the normal brain activity, doctors and scientists are better able to assess the brain’s behavior during times of i njury, disease, and mental illness.CT or CAT scans: Computed tomography (CT) or computerized axial tomography (CAT) shows images of the brain by passing multiple X-ray beams through the brain tissue. CT or CA T scans show a cross-section of the brain. These scans can be used to find brain tumors.MRI scans: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses powerful magnet to cause the atoms of the brain to shake. MRI sensors pick up the signals emitted ([i'mit] 发出) from the brain’s atoms and a computer interprets them as a picture. MRIs show more detail than CT or CA T scans can. They are especially useful in finding brain tumors that grow on the back of the brain, between the ears.PET scans: Positron emission tomography (PET) is different from other scans because it shows how the brain functions. After a person’s bloodstream is injected with a small dose of glucose (['glu:kəus] 【生化】葡萄糖), which is what gives the brain energy, scanners around the head detect where the glucose moves. The PET scan shows which part of the brain use a lot of glucose, which are the more active parts. PET scans are helpful for diagnosing strokes, studying mental illness, and learning how the brain process language.Positron Emission Tomography scan Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanComputed Axial Tomography Scan uses powerful magnets to make the atoms of the brain shakeShows which parts of the brain use a lot of glucoseHelpful for diagnosing strokesshows how the brain functionsshows images of the brain by passing multiple X-ray beams through the brain tissue60.How can doctors and scientists understand the brain’s reaction to injury, disease, or mentalillness?A.By contrasting/comparing it with normal brain activities.B.By passing the X-Ray beams through the brain tissue.C.By picking up the signals emitted from the brain’s atoms.D.By being injected with glucose and detecting where it moves.61.By Which two scans mentioned are helpful for diagnosing brain tumors?A. CT / CA T and PETB. MRI and PETC. CT/CA T and MRID. CT and CA T62. If a person suffers from defect in speaking, which scan will a doctor be mostlikely to suggest?A. CT / CATB. MRIC. PETD. Any one of themCThe psychology of innovationWhy are so few companies truly innovative?Innovation is key to business survival, and companies put substantial resources into inspiringemployees to develop new ideas. There are, nevertheless, people working in luxurious, state-of-the-art centers designed to stimulate innovation who find that their environment doesn’t make them feel at all creative. And there are those who don’t have a budget, or much space, but who innovate successfully.For Robert B. Cialdini, Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University, one reason that companies don’t succeed as often as they should is that innovation starts with recruitment. Research shows that the fit between an employee’s values and a company’s values makes a difference to what contribution they make and whether, two years after they join, they’re still at the company.One of the most famous photographs in the story of rock’n’roll emphasizes Cialdini’s views. The 1956 picture of singers Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis jamming at a piano in Sun Studios in Memphis tells a hidden story. Sun’s ‘million-dollar quartet’ could have been a quintet. Missing from the picture is Roy Orbison, a greater natural singer than Lewis, Perkins or Cash. Sam Phillips, who owned Sun, wanted to revolutionize popular music with songs that fused black and white music, and country and blues. Presley, Cash, Perkins and Lewis instinctively understood Phillips’s ambition and believed in it. Orbison wasn’t inspired by the goal, and only ever achieved one hit with the Sun label.Managing innovation is a delicate art. It’s easy for a company to be pulled in conflicting directions as the marketing, product development, and finance departments each get different feedback from different sets of people. And without a system which ensures collaborative exchanges within the company, it’s also easy for small ‘pockets of innovation’ to disappear. Innovation is a contact sport. You can’t brief people just by saying, ‘We’re going in this direction and I’m going to take you with me.’Cialdini believes that this ‘follow-the-leader syndrome’is dangerous, not least because it encourages bosses to go it alone. ‘It’s been scientifically proven that three people will be better than one at solving problems, even if that one person is the smartest person in the field.’ To prove his point, Cialdini cites an interview with molecular biologist James Watson. Watson, together with Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA, the genetic information carrier of all living organisms. ‘When asked how they had cracked the code ahead of an array of highly accomplished rival investigators, he said something that stunned me. He said he and Crick had succeeded because they were aware that they weren’t the most intelligent of the scientists pursuing the answer. The smartest scientist was called Rosalind Franklin who, Watson said, “was so intelligent she rarely sought advice”.’Writing, visualizing and prototyping can stimulate the flow of new ideas. Cialdini cites scores of research papers and historical events that prove that even something as simple as writing deepens every individual’s engagement in the project. It is, he says, the reason why all those competitions on breakfast cereal packets encouraged us to write in saying, in no more than 10 words: ‘I like Kellogg’s Corn Flakes because… .’ The very act of writing makes us more likely to believe it.Authority doesn’t have to inhibit innovation but it often does. Many theorist believe the ideal boss should lead from behind, taking pride in collective accomplishment and giving credit where it is due. Cialdini says: ‘Leaders should encourage everyone to contribute and simultaneously assure all concerned that every recommendation is important to making the right decision and will be given full attention.’The frustrating thing about innovation is that there are many approaches, but no magic formula. However, a manager who wants to create a truly innovative culture can make their job a lot easier by recognizing these psychological realities.63. The example of the ‘million-dollar quartet’ underlines the writer’s point aboutA. recognizing talent.B. working as a team.C. having a shared objective.D. being an effective leader.64. James Watson suggests that he and Francis Crick won the race to discover theDNA code because theyA. were conscious of their own limitations.B. brought complementary skills to their partnership.C. were determined to outperform their brighter rivals.D. encouraged each other to realize their joint ambition.65. The writer mentions competitions on breakfast cereal packets as an example ofhow to______________________________________________________.A. inspire creative thinking.B. generate concise writing.C. promote loyalty to a group.D. strengthen commitment to an idea.66. In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that it is important for employees toA. be aware of their company’s goals.B. feel that their contributions are valued.C. have respect for their co-workers’ achievements.D. understand why certain management decisions are made.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.It is you yourself not anybody else that can correct your Self-esteem.B.Simply put, self-esteem is the fuel that makes you feel important or loved by others.C.More often times it will not, but don’t let that cloud your perception aboutyourself.D. Now that we’ve covered those aspects of self-esteem, let’s turn to s ome of theother factors that need to be considered.AB. It will give you a regular motivation to work harder and better to improve yourselfand develop your sense of maturity as a person.AC. When your self-esteem is high, you are less likely to be affected by thesesituations.Many people go through life's usual phases of ups and downs, which are common and normal stages in life, but when your self-esteem is low, you may need to know how to boost your self-esteem, since it can lead to problems you may not have thought of.Self-esteem is the measurement or the value of how a person knows his worth and its effects are life-changing and dramatic, since it makes up a person’s attitude and outlook towards life. (67)______________________ But when self-esteem is low, you can either sulk and be sad or be afraid to try out new things or take risks and chances with your love-life, career, relationships and self-improvement.Self-esteem plays a key role in the maturity of a person, especially when trying to get away from a dangerous situation, going through a series of trials in life. Our normal responses to these circumstances and situations are governed by how we value ourselves and how our decisions are dictated by how we value ourselves and how our decisions are dictated by these conditions.Faced with tough decisions in life, the more self-esteem one has, the better. It is for that person to make sound decisions, even in the face of peer pressure or stress at work and at home. Let us try to look into some of the common and best practices which have been tried and tested to help boost self-esteem.Always compliment yourself daily, especially by trying to look for specific tasks you did well for that day and congratulate yourself for it. (68) ____________________ List down all things you are good at doing and achieving, be it a talent, skill, sport or building up other people.You can add more focus to these good points and fuel our passion to do better and make you not only understand yourself more, but also give you the true meaning and measurement of self-worth and this is how you see yourself as important.Appreciation of one’s physical appearance and bearing can also be your source of self-esteem, be it the size and shape of your body, your overall physical structure or unique features. Your body can be your source of pride and will help you understand how you would like others to see you, or work on your physical appearance to boost self-morale and satisfaction.Sometimes when you tend to see things in a different light or perspective from others, don’t focus too much on making sure that what you think will cause things to change. (69) _____________________________When you have good self-esteem you will realize that what you did was right and was made under your own food judgment, sound principles and concepts based on your personal outlook and attitude towards life.Do not let negative feedback affect you. Of course, one cannot help but feel bad about negative comments or reactions, but you have to consider that these are tests against your character and personality. (70) ________________________________ So try to look at yourself and see, and if youfeel less important or are not satisfied with how you see and look at things, then think about ways on how to boost your self-esteem. You’ll thank yourself for it.第II 卷I．SummaryDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.1. One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.2. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you？”3. “You don't owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.4. Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.5. Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.6. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words...。

The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.”In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through you available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.72. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel”(Line 4, Para. 1) in thewriting process, he means ________.A) no one can be both creative and criticalB) they cannot be regarded as equally importantC) they are in constant conflict with each otherD) one cannot use them at the same time73. What prevents people from writing on is ________.A) putting their ideas in raw formB) attempting to edit as they writeC) ignoring grammatical soundnessD) trying to capture fleeting thoughts74. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A) To organize one’s thoughts logically.B) To choose an appropriate topic.C) To get one’s ideas down.D) To collect raw materials.75. One common concern of writers about “free writing”is that ________.A) it overstresses the role of the creative mindB) it takes too much time to edit afterwardsC) it may bring about too much criticismD) it does not help them to think clearly(D)I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement-jobs, research papers, awards-was viewed through the lens of gender(性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus(相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them ―war‖ stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about.76. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author's failures to ________.A) the very fact that she is a womanB) her involvement in gender politicsC) her over-confidence as a female astrophysicistD) the burden she bears in a male-dominated society77. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?A) Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.B) Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.80. ____________Despite social and economic differences among Americans, many American families have certain characteristics in common, Both the husband and wife were born in the United States, and their forefathers came from Europe. They have completed high school, and they belong to the middle class. They have a car, a television set, a washing machine,a refrigerator, a telephone, etc. They own their own home and spend about 55% of their income for housing and food. Clothing accounts for almost 10% of their income, medical care 6%, transportation 8% and taxes 15%. The rest of their income is used for such items as insurance, savings, gifts, and recreation.81. ____________Most families consist of a mother, a father, and, at most, two children living at home. There may be relatives--grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins living in the same community, but American families usually maintain separate households. This family structure is known as the "nuclear family", it is unusual for members of the family other than the husband, wife, and children to live together.82. ____________Marriage in the United States is considered a matter of individual responsibility and decision. Young people frequently fall in love and marry even if their parents disagree. American marriages are usually based on romantic love, rather than on social .class, education, or religion.83. ____________After their marriage the young couple is free to decide where to live and when to start a family. Most young couples set up their own household immediately. They just follow their own wishes and settle down wherever they like.84. ____________In the early 1970s only 15% of all married couples were not living on their own—independently and by themselves. Most married people practise some kind of birth control. They plan the number of children they are going to have and when their children will be born. The practice of limiting the size of families has general approval. The birth rate has been declining steadily in recent years.。
