Passage One For generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice. But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (⽓象学家). “Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change.” Now a British-Canadian project si doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation. Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “ I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,” says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project. ‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,” says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. “Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project. 36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents 37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? A. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages. B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change. C. They cannot get financial support from the local government. D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing. 38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful 39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems. B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature. C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya. D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project. Passage Two After taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office. “If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,” says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born. She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analyst Jon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks. “I had pressure to take that leave,” recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.” “No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分⼼的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film. No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode. As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs. 40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design? A. It hires women with families. B. It has some overseas branches. C. It provide consulting services. D. It encourages the staff to work at home. 41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?A. Taking on women employees.B. Dealing with women’s complaintsC. Dismissing unqualified women staffD. Taking care of women staff welfare 42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?A. It cuts down the management cost.B. It increases staff loyalty to the filmC. It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment. 43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage? A. A Flexible Working Schedule B. A staff shortage in Maya Design C. A Pittsburgh-based Working Place D. A Company Taking Care of Young Parents Passage Three Harry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists. Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish. Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia. Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both g e n d e r s w i l l a l s o p e r f o r m a n i n j u r e d b i r d a c t t o t e m p t a n i m a l i n v a d e r s t o g o a w a y f r o m t h e n e s t . / p > p > 0 0 R e p r o d u c t i o n : S n o w y o w l s m a y i n c u b a t e ( u[ uS ) 3 - 1 0 e g g s f o r 3 0 - 3 4 d a y s , o r t h e i n c u b a t i o n m a y b e d o n e p r i m a r i l y b y t h e f r e a k .

In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders will also perform an “injured bird” act to tempt animal invaders to go away from the nest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate (孵卵) 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, or the incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and then no eggs may be produced.44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1?A. Harry Potter fans like snowy owlsB. Hedwig is one of the snowy owl watchersC. The snowy owl is a large bird with white feathersD. It is easy to find snowy owls in snow covered areas45、What does Paragraph 3 tell about snowy owls?A. The can be found in Asia and EuropeB. They live in groups in hard winter daysC. Their breeding grounds are in areas south to CanadaD. They appear in the Artic when food supplies are scarce46、For snowy owls, one way to defend their nest is _____A. to stand on a rock nearbyB. to pretend to have been injuredC. to spread their wingsD. to give a warning47、What will snowy owls probably do when food is insufficient?A. They may stop producing eggsB. They will reduce their flightsC. They will be less active at nightD. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing( 令人舒畅的) , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admires always said how “relaxed”and “natural”he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley wasload and vulgar( 粗俗的) ——and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?A. They died in the same year.B. They became popular in 1977C. They influenced each other in musicD. They represented the postwar generation49、In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?A. Their songs were widely used in moviesB. They became famous in late year of their livesC. Their musical styles are recognized by the criticsD. Neither of them received any formal musical education50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?A. ExcitementB. DisturbanceC. Ease and comfortD. Passion and thrill51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?A. The political situation that the two singers facedB. The cultural changes that the two singers experiencedC. The economic influence on the music of the two singersD. The message that the two singers expressed in their musicPassage FiveThere are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination (particularly to jobs) and to inform the public. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither “strange” nor sick nor dangerous.Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive( 冲动的) than right-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering( 口吃) and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?A. To create new jobsB. To promote equalityC. To show discriminationD. To study hand preference53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?A. Before birthB. At birthC. At age threeD. At age six54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______A. are less creativeB. are more easygoingC. have a better sense of spaceD. do better in most professions55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handersB. the left hand is just as good as the right handC. it is difficult for them to switch to the right handD. changing hand preference may cause serious problemsV.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects64. According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.represented a great improvement over barterpermitted easy transportation of wealthwere made of precious metalscould become collector’s items65. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?They promote international trade.They allow very rapid money transfers.They are still limited to small transactions (交易).They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage TwoAt the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but eachgroup was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than inordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly rooms The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itThe University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behaviorBeautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms67. According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A. the longer people like to stay in itB. the sooner people in it will leaveC. the more active people in it will becomeD.the more excited people68. What is referred to as the “general appearance” in this passage is ________.how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come inthe size of a roomwhether there are beautiful walls in a roomwhat the room looks like69. This passage provides us with _______.A. a piece of scientific informationB. a normal lessonC. an interesting testD. a piece of news70. At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knowsPassage ThreeThe water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is usedonly once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A. do experiments with waterB. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once againD. make use of seawater72.

Which is the right order of the passage?A. to have the used water filteredB. to put chemicals in itC. to pipe it to the usersD. to pipe the usedwater to be purified to a factory73.

The would “it” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. seawaterB. purified waterC. the process of getting rid of the salt in seawaterD. the process of collecting salt from the sea oceans75. The best title for the passage is“_______”.A. How to Reuse WaterB. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water ShortageC. Stop Wasting Our Limited WaterD. How to Make Use of SeawaterPassage FourSome people hate everything that is modern. Theycannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knowshe should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.76. Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A. they are agedB. they find it hard to accept modern thingsC. they take their standards of perfection from the GreekD. they look at things by the standards of the past77. The writer of the passage thinks that________.it is true to say artists fail in their workit is untrue to say artists fail in their work it is true to say some artists fail in their work it is true to say only painters fail in their work78. The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A. means nothingB. concerns othersC. concerns only the artistD. concerns all thepeople in the world79. The writer thinks that _________.we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standards we can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standardswe can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standardswe can’t judge modern buildings80. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means _____.the ancient architects had no technologythe modern architects use more advanced technologythe modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildings the modern buildings are more beautiful Ⅴ.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement. There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly. Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams. 61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times 62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier. 63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving. 64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body 65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to Sleepers Passage Two The Mother GooseStories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them. 66. What is suppssed to have happened in 1719? Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories. Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories. The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories. 67. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.A. a real personB. a book written by a little old womanC. a collection by Elizabeth VergooseD. a translation from French 68. When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______. no story of the book had been known to people some stories of the book were already well known few people were interested in the stories of the book stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular 69. The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.A. Mother GooseB. Mere I’ OyeC. Elizabeth VergooseD. Charles Perrault 70. On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin of stories “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”? They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose. They were invented by Thomas Fleet. They were invented by Charles Perrault. Their writers are unknown.　Passage Three Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same. 71. A bank run happens when _______. a bank is closed for one or more days too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one time tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank 72. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________. explain why they could not pay out all accounts pay out accounts as requested make the depositors believe that the bank was stand pay out money as slowly as possible 73. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers 74. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say? She know that the bank was not sound. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank. She was not able to draw out her money. She was tempted to draw out her money. 75. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______. ease with which they could get their money confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed failure of several other banks to open confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage Four One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found. Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (⼲粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers. 76. What is the main topic of this passage? The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem. Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century. The imporance of the American buffalo. Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century. 77. Which of the following statements is NOT true? Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived. The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips. The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips. Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel. 78. The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A. in greater amounts in summerB. in greater amounts in winterC. only in summerD. only in winter 79. Which of the following does the author not express surprise at? The children needed competitions to them. The buffalo chips gave off no smell. Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem. Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends. 80. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls Ⅴ. Writing (20 points) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a letter of about 80 words according to the following situation. 你叫李平，是英语系学⽣会主席。

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet。

Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The most famous collections of fairy tales are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812.They disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children。

But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it wo uld break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer , and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals , but he did slip in character judgments and moral izing comments wherever he could。

Reading comprehension <60 points >Directions: There are five reading passages in this each passage is followed by four questions. For each questions there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFor generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists <气象学家>."Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,〞says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. "Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change.〞Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. " I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,〞says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project.‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,〞says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. "Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,〞says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologistsA. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages.B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change.C. They cannot get financial support from the local government.D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing.38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems.B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature.C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya.D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project.Passage TwoAfter taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave <产假> earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office."If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,〞says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analyst Jon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, whenWest considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks."I had pressure to take that leave,〞recalls West, "People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.〞"No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction <分心的事>,〞says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs.40.

A staff shortage in Maya DesignC. A Pittsburgh-based Working PlaceD. A Company Taking Care of Young ParentsPassage ThreeHarry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owlsare, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes includingtundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds <繁殖地>are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders willalso perform an "injured bird〞act to tempt animal invaders to go away from thenest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate <孵卵> 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, orthe incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and then no eggs may be produced.44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1?A.

They may stop producing eggsB. They will reduce their flightsC. They will be less active at nightD. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing< 令人舒畅的> , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admires always said how "relaxed〞and "natural〞he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley was load and vulgar< 粗俗的> ——and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?A. They died in the same year.B. They became popular in 1977C. They influenced each other in musicD. They represented the postwar generation49、In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?A. Their songs were widely used in moviesB. They became famous in late year of their livesC. Their musical styles are recognized by the criticsD. Neither of them received any formal musical education50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?A. ExcitementB. DisturbanceC. Ease and comfortD. Passion and thrill51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?A. The political situation that the two singers facedB. The cultural changes that the two singers experiencedC. The economic influence on the music of the two singersD. The message that the two singers expressed in their musicPassage FiveThere are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination <particularly to jobs> and to inform thepublic. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither "strange〞nor sick nor dangerous.Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive< 冲动的> thanright-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering< 口吃> and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?A. To create new jobsB. To promote equalityC. To show discriminationD. To study hand preference53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?A. Before birthB. At birthC. At age threeD. At age six54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______A. are less creativeB. are more easygoingC. have a better sense of spaceD. do better in most professions55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handersB. the left hand is just as good as the right handC. it is difficult for them to switch to the right handD. changing hand preference may cause serious problemsV.

Therefore〔不是一连词,是一副词,表达因果.〕；moreover〔同样不是一连词,而且、此外〕；furthermore〔同样不是一连词,此外、而且〕19、一网解析：出题人考察情态动词语意的区别.get it go again是一势在必行的动作,否则,tomorrow会迟到.所以这一动作是"必须〞的,答案是D.20、一网解析：他对"how old〞是非常的_______,利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入的词语就明明白白了：敏感.答案是A.第三部分：完形填空21、一网解析：sports不但能够强身健体,而且还能够______lifeskills.利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入的词语就明明白白清清楚楚了：培养、养成.与之匹配的选项是B,develop"发展、养成〞.Stimulate"刺激、鼓舞〞；motivate"刺激,激励〞；create"创造、创作〔精神食物〕〞. 看出来没有,A与C选项的意思几乎一模一样的,当然排除.22、一网解析：learning to______with loss anddisappointment.学会______得与失.利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入：处理〔与with一起构成〕.答案是A,deal.Struggle with与…..做斗争；disagree with不同意.23、一网解析：利用我们做题的经验,我们应该能够很快明白出题人的出题意图：specifically"特别地、专门地〞,especially"特别、尤其〞的区别.Especially是"与众不同地〞,specially表达目的之类.例如：foodsare very cheap today , especially eggs..eggs与众不同的cheap；special 常用的是：商场东西降价时,会被贴上special的标签；如：I made a special food for you〔为你而special,目的吧〕. aspecial hospital 专门医院specialist 就是专家的意思.题干句子大意是这些好处是"与众不同的〞.答案是C.24、一网解析：confidence〔信心〕and self-esteem〔自尊〕______from a ……利用一点点语法知识空格处填入的是一不与物动词.利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入的词语应该是"增强、提高〞.排除D选项.其余三个选项都有"提高之意〞.它们的区别就是出题人的出题意图.Arise是一不与物动词,raise是一与物动词,lift是把具体的东西"升高〞,例如电梯之类的"提高〞.所以答案是A.25、一网解析：sports帮助孩子的healthy这是一乡村老太太都明明白白的概念,普通得不能再普通了.答案是D,regular.26、一网解析：利用我们娴熟的中文,和宝贵的常识储备,空格处填入"保持〞.答案是C.Rretain保留；reserve储备；prevent预防.27、一网解析：see….as….把…..看作…...题外话：看着孩子矫健的身躯驰骋在运动场上,那个美滋滋的劲儿甭提多受用了.此处用一比喻句把body比作了驰骋运动场的tool.的确,身体就是博取人生的一tool,病怏怏的body,那么你的tool就需要sports了.答案是B.28、一网解析：好身体就能够less 遭遇"feeling of low self-worth〞的可能性.答案是A,likely.其余选项不符合题意.29、一网解析：参加sports,其实就是一"in〞的过程.Pparticipate in本身就是一固定搭配"参加〞.30、一网解析：利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入"实现〞〔实现goal目标〕.选项中之意D选项符合题意.答案是D.31、一网解析：利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入"能够〞.能够建立信心.Bbe able to do sth"是指有能力去做某事〞.答案是A.Able与Capable的区别：词义上：able尤其指某一时之"能力〞；capable指的是一持久性的能力,另外尤其指某一专门的能力.搭配：able后面接todo ,而capable接of介词.例如：she is an able teacher.<能干,但是不知道是不是专业方面>.she is an capableteacher.<专业胜任>.32、一网解析：winning不仅仅是唯一的confidence builder,一个_____pass or assistant…..这里退一步来说,即使这样一个_____的与格或助手,所以利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入的就是"出色的〞.答案是C.33、一网解析：sports能够有抗抑郁的效果.下面就举例说明了,说明这是已经被证明了的.答案是D,"显示出〞.34、一网解析：承上启下,sports抗抑郁,那么孩子就不抑郁了,对生活充满了憧憬,与之匹配的选项是B,outlook"向外看→外面的世界很精彩→展望〞.35、一网解析：反过来improved self—esteem"促进〞了后面的"运动与学业表现〞.答案是C.第三部分：阅读理解第一篇36、一网解析：带着题干关键词：traditional rainmakers,一目一行定位答案X围：第一段第一个破折号后面.原文中只提与了C选项.答案是C.37、一网解析：一目一行定位答案X围：第二段最后.他们没有只有气象学家才能够available的technology.与之匹配的选项是B.答案是B.38、一网解析：带着题干关键词,Britain—Canadian,一目一行定位答案X围：第五段的第一句话中pleased〔高兴的〕.所以答案是A.39、一网解析：请你充分利用前面题目提供的信息来完成此类题目.36小题说传统的造雨的人的落后,只是简单地凭大自然的东西去判断是否下雨；后面还说没有气象学家的技术.38小题提与了合作.所以重点是"合作〞.答案是D.第二篇40、一网解析：Maya<玛雅>,此词语应该您至少见过,玛雅文明.带着题干关键词Maya,一目一行定位答案X围：第一段最后.原文中就出现了C选项中的consulting"咨询〞的关键词.答案是C.41、一网解析：带着题干关键词tory,一目一行定位答案X围：第五段.千万千万注意我们的阅读是一目一行的,比如此题目的阅读跨度就比较大了,到了第五段.很明显答案是A.42、一网解析：带着题干关键词,maya的policy,或者Mickey,一目一行定位答案X围：第六段.定位句是：builds loyalty和helpparents shift back into work mode.与之匹配的选项是B.答案是B.43、一网解析：充分利用前面题目提供的信息,41小题说对家庭提供"咨询服务〞；42小题说引导父母转换工作方式.再结合第一段的信息〔产假后,对孩子不放心〕,于是就此结束了后面的事情.答案是D.44、一网解析：哈利波特,比较熟悉吧.否则原文中猎取答案信息.第一段第一句话的snowy owl,和第二句话的white feathers,于是就能够确定答案是C.第三篇45、一网解析：第三段,一目一行.最后一句话.B选项似乎可以,但是第二句话就告诉了我们,它们也是往南迁移的,说明它们也不是固定生活在一个地方的,排除；它们的繁殖地是Arctic tundra,所以也可排除；同样D选项排除.答案是A.此题目容易错误选择B选项.46、一网解析：保护自己的方法是______.带着题干大意,一目一行定位答案X围：第四段最后.答案是B.47、一网解析：四个选项都有可能.原文中一目一行猎取答案信息.第四段最后一句话：除非食物短缺,否则它们是要繁殖后代,产蛋.与之匹配的选项是A.48、一网解析：带着题干关键词：后面的名字Grosby、presley,一目一行定位答案X围：第一段第一句话.这两个家伙都在1977年lost了.于是这一句话就给了我们选项A的信息.答案是A.B 选项与第一句话是互相矛盾的,排除；C选项与第二句话矛盾,D选项中最关键的词语postwar没有体现出来,即使最大努力的去infer,也是没有这方面的信息的. 第四篇49、一网解析：两个家伙的相似处.带着题干关键词,一目一行定位答案X围：第二段第三句话.答案是D.没有接受一点点music education,难得怪,人们是如此惊呼.50、一网解析：此题目我们可以充分利用我们宝贵的常识储备,从一个歌手,且是那么令人怀念的歌手,听到的绝对是"积极的〞,所以选择一褒义词.Disturbance是不可能的,选项B排除；thrill"太夸X了,夸X得几乎是一贬义词了〞,所以也可以不考虑.剩下两个选项,我们原文中猎取答案信息.第四段的第二句话：became relaxed and easygoing.所以与之匹配的选项是C.51、一网解析：此类题目比较少见,请你咨询阅读最后一自然段的最后一句话.最后一句话讲述了"文化also改变〞,所以接下来当然是继续"文化改变〞.答案是B. 第五篇52、一网解析：对于这个lefthanders international〔我们权且叫"左撇子国际〞吧,应该是一国际性的组织吧〕,他们成立"左撇子国际〞的目的,应该是不那么简单的.据此与之匹配的选项是B.认证答案：带着题干关键词"左撇子国际〞,一目一行定位答案X围：第一段最后一句话：他们不是另类〔strange〕,他们不是sick,与右撇子是一模一样的.所以他们昭示的"与右撇子平等〞equality,所以答案是B.53、一网解析：可以充分利用我们宝贵常识储备,handpreference"手的喜好〞,即左撇子与右撇子.是不可能在A与B就有了的,三岁时也是不可能的.答案是D.没有必要去认证答案了吧.54、一网解析：一目一行定位答案X围：第三段第二句话.答案是C.。

Choose the ONE that you think is the best answer.Passage 1V ersailles is the site of the Palace of Versailles, one of the most storied buildings in the history of France. It was originally built as a hunting chateau by King Louis VIII in 1624. In 1669, King Louis XIV began searching for a grand site where he could conduct the affairs of France and control the government. He settled on the hunting palace and expanded it into the world’s largest palace. In addition, the King hoped to build a governmental center apart from Paris.The palace took 36,000 workers fifty years to build. The palace is spread out over 280 acres and can house 20,000 people! The palace features over 700 rooms and 67 staircases. There are dozens of unique rooms, features, gardens, and halls. One of the most renowned rooms of the Palace of Versailles is the Hall of Mirrors. Recently restored, the Hall of Mirrors is the centerpiece of the dazzling building. Originally added to the palace in 1684, the Hall of Mirrors was built to be a dazzling display of the power and wealth of the French Monarchy. The hall, which measures 73 meters in length features 357 gold-coated stucco mirrors, ornate paintings, crystal chandeliers, marble fixtures, a parquet floor, and ceilings with colorful murals painted by artist Charles Le Brun. The Hall of Mirrors has also played a prominent role in history. Both the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles that formally ended World War One were signed here.11 When was the Palace of Versailles originally built? 正确答案解析A.

His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he was already the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" because people told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.16 What did Gilbert's father do for a living in California?. 正确答案解析A. He was an artist.B. He was a basketball player.C. He was an actor.D. He was a football player.正确答案：C17 When did Gilbert become the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School? 正确答案解析A. When he was 11.B. In 1984.C. When he was 14D. As a junior in high school.正确答案：C18 Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors? 正确答案解析A. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.D. Because his performance is disappointing in the season.正确答案：A19 Which of the following players did NOT help the Wizards make the playoffs in Gilbert's second year? 正确答案解析A. Gilbert Arenas.B. Gold State Warriors.C. Antawn Jamison.D. Larry Hughes.正确答案：B20 Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage? 正确答案解析A. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 3Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say "hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.21 When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________. 正确答案解析A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye正确答案：B22 What will a person do when he attends a party run by older people? 正确答案解析A. Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.B. Ask his friend to introduce him to others.C. Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.D. Wait to be introduced by the host / hostess.正确答案：D23 On which occasion will the English toast? 正确答案解析A. A wedding reception.B. A dinner party.C. A speech.D. A meeting.正确答案：A24 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? 正确答案解析A. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.D. The English usually can’t understand foreign students, impolite behaviors.正确答案：C25 Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. 正确答案解析A. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.C. Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.D. Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.正确答案：BPart III.

WritingDirections: In this part, you are asked to write a paragraph about "My Mother / Father".参考答案：My father is fifty years old. He is not very tall, and he is not very handsome, either. He is a professor in the Chinese Department of a university. In my memory, my father always works very hard by reading and writing day after day. I remember when I was a little child, he hadn't much time to go to park with me. In the holidays, he might take me to the park. But he always took a book in his bag and read it in the rest time. Now I come to understand that my father's success is because of his hard work. I'm proud of my father and I will love him forever.。
