In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles asked 7,000 people about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived.The scientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.▲Eating breakfast every day.▲Avoiding eating snacks between meals.▲Keeping a good weight----not too heavy or too thin.▲Exercising regularly.▲Sleeping seven or eight hours every night----not more or less.▲Do not smoke.▲Drink fewer alcoholic drinks.The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in this study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years!But how do you change your habits? Make one small change every week. And be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.( ) 56.

"Sorry to interrupt the program. Here's an important notice from the police. At about 9 p.m., a lady was robbed and killed by a man in brown. If you know anything about the man, please call the police. Thank you." The terrible news made Jolie frightened. She couldn't help looking around, but didn't see anyone in her kitchen or on the balcony. But all of a sudden, a man appeared and stood in front of her. Hewas wearing brown! Jolie didn't know what to do!"Calm down, young lady. Put your jewelry and cash on the table," said the robber. "I'll stay up here for the night. If you dare to call the police, you are just asking for trouble."That made Jolie even more frightened, but she tried to calm herself. Just then came the sound of a police car. In a little while, someone rang the doorbell. The robber said, with a gun pointed against Jolie's back, "Open the door and say that you have gone to bed. Do not let anyone in."But Jolie had an idea. She opened the door."Good evening, Miss Ray. I'm Sergeant Collins. Is there anything unusual here?""No," she said loudly, "only my brother and I are in the room.""OK. Good night," Collins replied.A few minutes later, the police car went away."Good," the robber said with a smile. Just at this moment, some policemen broke the window and hurried into the room from the balcony. They quickly caught the robber."You really did a good job, Miss Ray. When you said that your brother was in the room, I knew there was something unusual," said Sergeant Collins, "because we knew that your brother had been killed in a robbery half a year ago."( ) 61.

From the story we know that Jolie Ray is a(n) _______ lady.A. brave and smartB. careful and kindC. honest and confidentD. friendly and helpfulCSince the beginning of history, man has been fascinated by the idea of living forever, of winning the fight against death and disease. So far, this has only remained a dream, though a very powerful one. Many people have wondered whether it would be possible to find a way to preserve human bodies, and what would be the best way to preserve human bodies.It has long been known that meat of fruit can be kept fresh for long periods by freezing; in ancient China, for example, food was stored with ice to keep it fresh. This method could also be useful for preserving humans and in fact many people have explored this possibility.However, most living beings that exist under warm conditions die when frozen. This is because of the harmful effects of freezing ice crystals, which are not only larger than the volumeof the water originally in the cells, but also form sharp cutting shapes that harm the cells.In the 1940s Dr B.J. Luyet and a group of scientists in England were working on the problem of freezing cells without damaging them. Since the harm caused by ice crystals was the main cause of damage, Luyet suggested removing some or all of the water fromthe cells before freezing them.Using living cells from chicken, Luyet and his assistants discovered that they could partly dry the chicken cells, using a mixture of the white part of an egg and glycerin, a clear thick liquid made chiefly from fats and oils. Some success was obtained. The chicken cells were dried, frozen for a period of time, and then carefully unfrozen. Almost all the cells recovered when they reached normal temperatures. Since then, the cooling of whole animals to a temperature very much below freezing point for later unfreezing has become more of a possibility, and the glycerin method would probably be used to accomplish this. When this can be done completely and successfully, science willhave moved much closer to its aim of freezing and storing incurable patients until the daythey can be cured.( ) 66. It seems that the idea of preserving human bodies_______ .A. is importantB. comes from that of storing meat and fruit fresh by freezingC. is quite funD. doesn't make any sense( ) 67. From the fact that most living things existing under warn conditions die whenfrozen, the scientist realize that_______ .A. living things cannot be frozen actuallyB. it is impossible for them to freeze human beingsC. the water from the living cells should be removedD. cells cannot recover when they are carefully unfrozen( ) 68. Glycerin can be used_______ .A. to remove water from living cellsB. to unfreeze living cellsC. to freeze living cellsD. to change the shape of crystals( ) 69. What is the passage mainly about?A. The harmful effects of freezing food.B. How to preserve food.C. How to remove water from living cells.D. The exploration of preserving human bodies.( ) 70. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word "fascinated"?A. attractedB. freedC. afraidD. sadDYou probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, whenyou play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn't have it turned up too high.Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away.Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but is would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? Youwould miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once is a while it's okay just to take out one earphone and not other.Imagine you are listening your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people canlisten to music on their MP3 Players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.( ) 71. The underlined word "volume" in Paragraph Two probably means_______ .A. the type of musicB. the amount of a soundC. the length of a songD. the color of and MP3 player( ) 72. No one wants to listen to from others' MP3 player_______.A. a loud soundB. sad storiesC. a long movieD. the words of a song( ) 73. What will happen if we listen to our MP3 player at a play?A. The theater won't allow it.B. The actors will get angry.C. Others won't hear the play well.D. We will miss part of the play.( ) 74. Which of the followings will not be rude if we just take out one earphone?A. Shoeing others the way.B. Talking to friends on the phone.C. Watching a sporting event.D. Having dinner with our parents.( ) 75. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Music LoversB. Music MannersC. MP3 PlayersD. MP3 Earphones五、写作（共四节，满分35分）第一节单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）76.

I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own -- and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist ”.An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn't have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn't know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing: I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings," wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love "can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further t han that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”.I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What's more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had only beena good listener and had encouraged him to talk.26. From Paragraph l, we can learn that the writer_________A. was deeply moved by the botanist's talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly27. Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?A. Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.B. Listening carefully to what another guest says.C. Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.D. Giving attention to all those in attendance.28. The underlined expression "rapt attention" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaningto__________A. full understandingB. strong interestC. great uncertaintyD. little curiosity29. According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristic of a good conversationalist?A. Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.B. Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.C. Promising a future meeting for more communication.D. Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.30. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To prove the writer is an interesting conversationalist.B. To share an interesting experience at a dinner party.C. To explain what makes a good conversationalist.D. To show that botanists can be really talkative.BA British dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter(推特，流行社交网络)．Computer expert Nat Morris, 30, has designed a system to give his pet a "tweet treat" by sending him a Twitter message.His dog Toby: gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to “@ feedtoby “.Nat often works away from home and isn't always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world.Nat said, "Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn't know what was going on. Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the food to drop. "Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home.But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed w ith the “tweet treat" machine that they have started sending tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn't turn into Tubby.“People have been sending him tweets at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to betwe en 9 a. m. and 9 p. m. I'm thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed, just to make sure he's not putting on too much puppy fat, “explained Nat.How Nat's Twitter Feeder works:When a message is sent to @ feedtoby, it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine.When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next, the machine's motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food.The doggy biscuits then drop into Toby's food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter - so he knows Toby has been fed.31. Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he________.A. wants his friends to feed TobyB. has very strong computing skillsC. is often too busy to feed his dogD. doesn't like to feed Toby by hand32. Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine's operating time?A. He doesn't want Toby to get too fat.B. He fears the machine will run out of food.C. He wants his friends to stop feeding Toby.D. He doesn't want Toby to be woken up at night.33. It can be learned from the passage that Toby_________A. sits beneath his feeder all day longB. is now used to being fed by machineC. doesn't know what happens to the feederD. no longer receives tweets from Nat's friends34. Which of the following shows the correct order of how the Twitter Feeder works?a. The bell goes off.b. A message is sent to @ feedtoby.c. The mini-computer gets the message.d. The digital camera takes a photo of Toby and sends it to Nat.e. The motor starts to work and opens the door to release dog food.A. a, b, c, e, d.B. b, c, e, a, d.C. b, c, a, e, d.D. c, b, a, d, e35. In which section of the newspaper would you most probably find this passage?A. Technology.B. Health.C. Environment.D. Style.CNo one knows why we dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between dreams and better memory in people learning a new skill.So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice, practice, practice -- and then sleep on it."I was very surprised by this finding,” said Robert Stickgold, a Harvard University scientist who led the study.In the study, 100 college students each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through amaze (谜宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start from a different place each time they tried -- making it even more difficult.Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were asked to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had.Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for “rapid eye movement, “which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found a connection between NREM brain activity and learning ability.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster.Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn't help a person learn -- it's the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn't sleep, didn't show the same improvement.36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to________A. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a mazeC. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze37. What happened to the participants during the break?A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream.B. Half of them were asked to dream about the maze.C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts.D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes.38. What can we learn from the passage?A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it.B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning.C. During NREM sleep, people usually don't dream.D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep.39. According to the last paragraph, before sleeping the maze-dreamers________A. found it difficult to do the mazeB. were greatly interested in the mazeC. were mostly slow and poor thinkersD. completed the maze faster than others40. Which of the following statements best summarizes the study's conclusion?A. Dreams have a role in learning.B. Dreams have no basis in reality.C. Dreams are important for health.D. Dreams are the best way to study.DThe recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain's greatest scientists, biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men. Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think.Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds. They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families -- not wealthy but comfortably off, with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service. Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University --and both succeeded, Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics.Neither man has a very positive view of his early university life. Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, "You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for. “He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (本科生).Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins. Like Hawking, he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures. But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful, "It was really only the tutorial system that educated me.”For both men, scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962. Dawkins, who remained at Oxford, describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students, which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book, The Selfish Gene. This volume transformed scientific thinking aboutDarwinian evolution.Hawking, on the other hand, moved to Cambridge University after graduation, where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicist since Albert Einstein. He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body, leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes. Although communication is slow - he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine - his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and the origins of the universe.Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker. Read together, they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research.41. Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins' backgrounds?A. They were both from wealthy families.B. They studied the same subject in university.C. They graduated from the same secondary school.D. They both came from families that valued good education.42. Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student?A. He preferred doing his own research and experiments.B. Students considered it inappropriate to study too much.C. The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him.D. He was more interested in making friends with his classmates.43. According to Dawkins, what helped him develop his most important ideas?A. His hard work as an undergraduate.B. The support he received from his family.C. The excellent tutors at Oxford University.D. The competition from other postgraduate students.44. What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage?A. Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate.B. Hawking is more respected by the scientific community.C. They knew each other during their studies at Oxford.D. Hawking has experienced more physical difficulties.45. What is the function of the last paragraph?A. To state which book the writer prefers.B. To recommend the reviewed books to readers.C. To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.D. To suggest the order in which the books should be read.笫二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

And most of its members are the students and teachers of the thirty-one colleges.Cambridge was already a (an) 39 town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago. It grew up by the river Granta, and the river was once 40 the Cam. A 41 was built over the riv er as early as 875. So the town got its name ―Cambridge‖.

It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart troubl e and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQof a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, c an make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot mon ths of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on people’ feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people ma y have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18 , people become stronger.Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pre ssure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.46．What can cause problems on health？A. Hot and wet weatherB.

The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I‟m sorry, I can‟t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can‟t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and st aring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly w ith us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That‟s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it‟s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There‟s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it‟s down it won‟t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let‟s forget the computer. What about your planes? They‟re still flying, aren‟t they?”“I couldn‟t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he‟s flying to Washington, ” I suggested. “I wouldn‟t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn‟t take you if you didn‟t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hour s?”“I wouldn‟t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only…IT‟ knows. …It‟ can‟t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travele rs that the computer was down. Some people went white; some people started to cry and still other s kicked their luggage.46. The best title for the article is _______.A. When the Computer Is DownB. The Most Frightening WordsC. The Computer of the AirportD. How to use the Computer47. What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer? A. She could sell a ticket. B. She could write out a ticket.C. She could answer the passengers‟ questions.D. She could do nothing.48. Why do you think they had no backup computer?A. Because a computer was believed to be powerful and never went wrong.B. Because a compute r would be very expensive.C. Because a computer was too old and easily down.D. Because a computer was not as big as the main computer. 49. The last paragraph suggests that _______. A. a modern computer won‟t be down. B. computers can take the place of humansC. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to peopleD. there will be great changes in computer s50. What does the underlined in the last paragraph “word” mean? A. There‟s no flights to Washington. B. There are no tickets left.C. The computer is down and no service will be givenD. There‟s no backup computer.(B)Parents should stop blaming themselves because there‟s not a lot they can do about it. Parents should stop blaming themselves because there‟s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you ch oose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terri ble animal.I‟ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, ri ght from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I wal ked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don' t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He‟s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn‟t forgotten them. He‟s just decided that he‟s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the tab le, stare at me and say, “I don‟t like your dress; it‟s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. “Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.51. This text is most probably written by ______.A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage chil drenD. a doctor for mental health problems 52. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______. A. the change from good to bad that‟s seen in a child B. the way that parents often blame themselves C. the opinion that a child has of his parentsD. the advice that parents want their children to follow53. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______. A. lazy B. quiet G. unusualD. rude54. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______. A. pay no attention to them B. are too busy to look after them C. have come to hate them D. feel helpless to do much about them55. What is the author‟s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children? A. Parents have no choice but to try to acc ept it. B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change. C. Parents should work more closel y with school teachers. D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.(C)CUY AHOGA COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYBay Village Branch, 502 Cahoon Road, 440-871-6392.The Egyptian Pyramids, 7 p.m. Sept. 19.

I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own -- and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist ”.An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn't have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn't know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing: I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings," wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love "can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”.I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What's more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.26. From Paragraph l, we can learn that the writer_________A. was deeply moved by the botanist's talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly27. Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?A. Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.B. Listening carefully to what another guest says.C. Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.D. Giving attention to all those in attendance.28. The underlined expression "rapt attention" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________A. full understandingB. strong interestC. great uncertaintyD. little curiosity29. According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristic of a good conversationalist?A. Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.B. Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.C. Promising a future meeting for more communication.D. Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.30. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To prove the writer is an interesting conversationalist.B. To share an interesting experience at a dinner party.C. To explain what makes a good conversationalist.D. To show that botanists can be really talkative.BA British dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter(推特，流行社交网络)．Computer expert Nat Morris, 30, has designed a system to give his pet a "tweet treat" by sending him a Twitter message.His dog Toby: gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to “@ feedtoby “.Nat often works away from home and isn't always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world.Nat said, "Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn't know what was going on. Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the food to drop. "Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home.But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the “tweet treat" machine that they have started sending tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn't turn into Tubby.“People have been sending him tweets at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to between 9 a. m. and 9 p. m. I'm thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed, just to make sure he's not putting on too much puppy fat, “explained Nat.How Nat's Twitter Feeder works:When a message is sent to @ feedtoby, it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine.When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next, the machine's motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food.The doggy biscuits then drop into Toby's food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter - so he knows Toby has been fed.31. Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he________.A. wants his friends to feed TobyB. has very strong computing skillsC. is often too busy to feed his dogD. doesn't like to feed Toby by hand32. Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine's operating time?A. He doesn't want Toby to get too fat.B. He fears the machine will run out of food.C. He wants his friends to stop feeding Toby.D. He doesn't want Toby to be woken up at night.33. It can be learned from the passage that Toby_________A. sits beneath his feeder all day longB. is now used to being fed by machineC. doesn't know what happens to the feederD. no longer receives tweets from Nat's friends34. Which of the following shows the correct order of how the Twitter Feeder works?a. The bell goes off.b. A message is sent to @ feedtoby.c. The mini-computer gets the message.d. The digital camera takes a photo of Toby and sends it to Nat.e. The motor starts to work and opens the door to release dog food.A. a, b, c, e, d.B. b, c, e, a, d.C. b, c, a, e, d.D. c, b, a, d, e35. In which section of the newspaper would you most probably find this passage?A. Technology.B. Health.C. Environment.D. Style.CNo one knows why we dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between dreams and better memory in people learning a new skill.So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice, practice, practice -- and then sleep on it."I was very surprised by this finding,” said Robert Stickgold, a Harvard University scientist who led the study.In the study, 100 college students each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through amaze (谜宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start from a different place each time they tried -- making it even more difficult.Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were asked to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had.Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for “rapid eye movement, “which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found a connection between NREM brain activity and learning ability.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster.Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn't help a person learn -- it's the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn't sleep, didn't show the same improvement.36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to________A. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a mazeC. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze37. What happened to the participants during the break?A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream.B. Half of them were asked to dream about the maze.C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts.D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes.38. What can we learn from the passage?A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it.B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning.C. During NREM sleep, people usually don't dream.D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep.39. According to the last paragraph, before sleeping the maze-dreamers________A. found it difficult to do the mazeB. were greatly interested in the mazeC. were mostly slow and poor thinkersD. completed the maze faster than others40. Which of the following statements best summarizes the study's conclusion?A. Dreams have a role in learning.B. Dreams have no basis in reality.C. Dreams are important for health.D. Dreams are the best way to study.DThe recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain's greatest scientists, biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men. Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think.Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds. They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families -- not wealthy but comfortably off, with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service. Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University --and both succeeded, Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics.Neither man has a very positive view of his early university life. Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, "You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for. “He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (本科生).Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins. Like Hawking, he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures. But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful, "It was really only the tutorial system that educated me.”For both men, scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962. Dawkins, who remained at Oxford, describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students, which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book, The Selfish Gene. This volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinian evolution.Hawking, on the other hand, moved to Cambridge University after graduation, where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicist since Albert Einstein. He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body, leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes.Although communication is slow - he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine - his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and the origins of the universe.Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker. Read together, they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research.41. Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins' backgrounds?A. They were both from wealthy families.B. They studied the same subject in university.C. They graduated from the same secondary school.D. They both came from families that valued good education.42. Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student?A. He preferred doing his own research and experiments.B. Students considered it inappropriate to study too much.C. The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him.D. He was more interested in making friends with his classmates.43. According to Dawkins, what helped him develop his most important ideas?A. His hard work as an undergraduate.B. The support he received from his family.C. The excellent tutors at Oxford University.D. The competition from other postgraduate students.44. What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage?A. Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate.B. Hawking is more respected by the scientific community.C. They knew each other during their studies at Oxford.D. Hawking has experienced more physical difficulties.45. What is the function of the last paragraph?A. To state which book the writer prefers.B. To recommend the reviewed books to readers.C. To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.D. To suggest the order in which the books should be read.笫二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for. “He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (本科生).Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins. Like Hawking, he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures. But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful, "It was really only the tutorial system that educated me.”For both men, scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962. Dawkins, who remained at Oxford, describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students, which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book, The Selfish Gene. This volume transformed scientific thinking aboutDarwinian evolution.Hawking, on the other hand, moved to Cambridge University after graduation, where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicist since Albert Einstein. He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body, leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes. Although communication is slow - he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine - his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and the origins of the universe.Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker. Read together, they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research.41. Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins' backgrounds?A. They were both from wealthy families.B. They studied the same subject in university.C. They graduated from the same secondary school.D. They both came from families that valued good education.42. Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student?A. He preferred doing his own research and experiments.B. Students considered it inappropriate to study too much.C. The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him.D. He was more interested in making friends with his classmates.43. According to Dawkins, what helped him develop his most important ideas?A. His hard work as an undergraduate.B. The support he received from his family.C. The excellent tutors at Oxford University.D. The competition from other postgraduate students.44. What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage?A. Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate.B. Hawking is more respected by the scientific community.C. They knew each other during their studies at Oxford.D. Hawking has experienced more physical difficulties.45. What is the function of the last paragraph?A. To state which book the writer prefers.B. To recommend the reviewed books to readers.C. To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.D. To suggest the order in which the books should be read.笫二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Theseare the words of Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam final in the French Open on June 4, 2011."People were saying I'm getting old. So this is a great success for such an old woman," the29-year-old girl joked.Miss Li has a tattoo (纹身). She has dyed her hair many different colors. And, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she told her fans to "shut up" when they got too noisy in their support.Li Na was born in Wuhan, she started to play tennis at the age of 6. She once recalled: "As a child, I felt sad because every day I had to wake up early to practice. After school I had to practice more.I didn't have time to play."Luckily, the strong girl didn't give up, thus making history for Chinese tennis time after time.Now the new champion is already thinking about winning another Grand Slam title. "When you have one title, surely you will think about another," she says, not hiding her ambition (雄心)."Chinese people are so lacking (缺乏) in confidence on the tennis court. If there is a person like me who can prove we Chinese can do it, the other young players in China will feel the same," she said.46. Li Na was born in the year of _____.A. 1982B. 1984C. 1986D. 199047.

She visited Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and her family's native place (祖籍) Romania where 5,000 fans came to see her at the airport. Alexandra said, “When it all started, I was moved. It was very exciting and I loved the traveling, but I got very tired. And I missed home.”Alexandra is a good student. Her studies always come first. She only starts painting after she's done her homework. She works on two or three paintings at a time. The paintings sell for thousands and Alexandra's parents have given up their jobs to work for their daughter. Life for the Nechita family is very different from what it was like a few years ago.Alexandra's father Niki left Romania for political reasons in 1985. At first he tried his best to learn English and had different kinds of low-paid jobs. In 1987, he brought his wife and Alexandra, who was then 18 months old, to America. The family was very poor. Alexandra began to draw at the age of three.She was drawing for four or five hours a day. Soon people offered to buy her paintings and she had her first art show at the age of eight. Stories about this child appeared in the newspapers and television. They now live in a large house with a swimmi ng pool.

Alexandra's success changed her family's lifeC. Alexandra's parents were good at EnglishD. Alexandra's stories appeared often on the radio and TVDACAB(C)Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example，someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy's a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not.We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this tri ck.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks an other term.One of her opponents(对手)says，“During Governor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!” That's true.However，an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two m illion jobs.''Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say，“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often.It's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as w ell.56.How much did the lottery winner lose?A.one hundred dollars.B.Two hundred dollars.C.Three hundred dollars.D.Four hundred dollars.57.We may infer that the author believes people should ________.A.buy lottery tickets if possibleB.make use of half—truthsC.be careful about what they are toldD.not trust the Yucky Company58. How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.59.Which of the following is true according to the passage?ing half truths is against the law.B.Technically，half truths are in fact lies.C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.ernor Smith did a good job during her last term.60.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.A winner can be a big loser!B.Sometimes the truth can lie as well.C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.D.It's against the law to make false statements.(D)CCBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is why in 2003 and 2004 the company received letters of complaints from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following table. Those about passengers’ things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to service work with passengers are not satisfied with. Oversales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail to receive the money paid back to them because of what they have lost.
