When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said, “ I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things.” One of the other girls s aid she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile.

But our muscles do not have to look like that to work well.(2)As a matter of fact, every time we write our name, we use the 20different muscles in our hand. Every time our heart beats, we use ourcardiac muscle(心肌) . When we eat our food, we use our tongue muscles.We even use muscles when we open and close our eyes. In fact, every timewe move, we use some of the muscles in our body.(3)A muscle is made of tiny fibers. Fiber is a type of tissue that feels a littlelike a rubber band. Thousands of these fibers are packed together to make a single muscle. We all have the same number of muscles----about 700 or so.Men and women with big muscles simply have thicker bundles of fibers.(4)There are three different types of muscles in our body. Smooth musclesare the ones that we cannot control. They work quietly to keep our body running. Also, they are the ones that help us to absorb our food. The cardiac muscle makes the heart pump blood in and out. Skeletal muscles are theones that we can control. These are the muscles that we use to raise our hands, or ride our bicycles.(5)Even our face often uses muscles. But if we want to save our energy, try smiling instead of frowning.

When they close late in the afternoon, other flowers open.Biological rhythms(生物节律), like the opening and closing of flowers, happen all over nature. But not all of them are daily rhythms. Some, like the beating of our heart, happen every second. 26Scientists use the term biological clock to describe the timing that controls biological rhythms. 27 In some animals it is probably controlled by the brain. In plants and other living things that have no brain, it must be something else.The migration of animals happens when a signal is sent out. For example, when days become shorter, birds leave the northern parts of the world and fly south where it is warm. 28Humans also have biological clocks that control their daily rhythms. When people travel by plane from one continent to another, they often cross many time zones. Their internal clocks don’t seem to work correctly. We call this jet lag(时差). 29 People who work night shifts also have problems with their biological clocks. They may not be as active as people who work during the daytime.Biological clocks control many rhythms of life. 30 Doctors are looking for new ways to make travelling more comfortable and medical treatment more effective.A. But where can you find it?B. This makes them feel tired.C. In the summer they fly back to have babies.D. We are learning more and more about them.E. Biological clocks can be adjusted.F. Other rhythms are based on months, seasons or years.第五部分：填词补文（10*1.5）Life is DifficultWhat makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems cause 31 , anger, fear or despair. These are 32 feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life 33 an endless series of problems, it is 34 difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet it is in this process of 35 and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems call forth our 36 and our wisdom. It is only because of problems that we grow 37 and spiritually. When we want to encourage the 38 of the human spirit, we encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we deliberately 39 problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of confronting and resolving that we learn. It is for this reason that 40 people learn not to fear but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.A. meeting E. wise I. posesB. courage F. takes J. alwaysC. careful G. sadness K. uncomfortableD. growth H. set L. mentally第六部分：完型补文（10*1.5）Are There Truths in Dreams?Imagine waking up after dreaming(dream) about a terrible plane crash. The next day you will make a plane journey that you have 41 (plan) lone before. Will you get on the plane?A survey shows that you may not cancel your trip. But your dream will probably influence your 42 (thought) during the journey. You may feel 43 (worry) and find the trip much 44 (long) than before. So dreams may influence what we are 45 (real) doing while we are awake.The explanation of dreams is still a(n) 46 (clear) are. A team of researchers are entering a new field of studies: Do dreams actually influenceour 47 (behave)? Over the past few years, they have 48 (do) studies in different cultures and found out that dreams contain some 49 (hide) truths: dreams affect the way people live and work.

Table mannersPeople who go to a formal western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by the table manners in western culture. Knowing them will help you make a good impression. Having good table manners means knowing, for example, how to use knives and forks, when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table. Beside your napkin(餐巾)，you will find a small bread roll and three glasses----one for white wine, one for red wine, and one for water. There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table, forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons(汤匙)，the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert. The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a little bit bigger than ones beside them. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap(膝盖)。

Cell PhonesBelieve it or not, cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century. The first commercial (商业的) cell phone system was developed by the Japanese in 1979. But cell phones have changed a lot since that time. The early cell phones were big and heavy but they have been developed into small and light palm-sized models. There have been huge developments in their functions, too. We have had cell forwarding, text messaging, answering services and hands-free use for years, but now there are countless new uses, such as instant access to the internet and receiving and sending photos.Cell phones have become very common in our lives; recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people on the planet now have a cell phone, and most of them say they can’t live without one. Cell phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool, used for essential arrangements, social contact and business. They have made it easier to call for help on the highway. They have made it possible to keep in touch with people” on the move” when people are traveling.Cell phones have made communication easier and have reduced the need for family arguments. We can use cell phones to let our family know we’ll be late or if there’s a change of plan or an emergency(紧急情况)。

He took out one thing at a time until he got d own to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he coul d phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outsid e to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who hadserved him and she said, “ I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pool ed their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgrad ed his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile. His mother arrived much later to pick him up. Instead of running to the car, he ran back into the store and call ed out, “ thank you!”I was so proud of my team that day.

But our muscl es do not have to look like that to work well.(2)As a matter of fact, every time we write our name, we use the 20 different muscl es in our hand. Every time our heart beats, we use our cardiac muscl e(心肌) . When we eat our food, we use our tongue muscl es. We even use muscles when we open and cl ose our eyes. In fact, every time we move, we use some of the muscl es in our body.(3)A muscl e is mad e of tiny fibers. Fiber is a type of tissue that feels a little like a rubber band. Thousands of these fibers are packed together to make a singl e muscl e. We all have the same number of muscl es----about 700 or so. Men and women with big muscl es simply have thicker bundl es of fibers.(4)There are three different types of muscl es in our body. Smooth muscles are the ones that we cannot control. They work quietly to keep our body running. Also, they are the ones that help us to absorb our food. The cardiac muscl e makes the heart pump bl ood in and out. Skel etal muscl es are the ones that we can control. These are the muscl es that we use to raise our hands, or rid e our bicycles.(5)Even our face often uses muscl es. But if we want to save our energy, try smiling instead of frowning. Remember that it takes 17 muscl es in our face tosmil e, but 43 muscl es to frown!Task 1 A. What a muscl e consists of16. Paragraph (1) B. When we use our muscl es17. Paragraph (2) C. How peopl e think of muscl es18. Paragraph (3) D. What kind of muscl es we have19. Paragraph (4) E. Why we have different muscl es20.

A singl e muscl e contains __________________.24. Smooth muscl e help us _________________.25. Smiling uses l ess energy than ___________________.A. frowningB. a lot of fibersC. to digest foodD. to function properlyE. whenever we are happyF. whenever we d o something第四部分：填句补文（5*2）Biological ClockWhen the sun rises on a warm and sunny day, you can see some flowers open up. When they cl ose late in the afternoon, other fl owers open.Biol ogical rhythms(生物节律), like the opening and cl osing of fl owers, happen all over nature. But not all of them are daily rhythms. Some, like the beating of our heart, happen every second. 26Scientists use the term biol ogical clock to d escribe the timing that controls biol ogical rhythms. 27 In some animals it is probably controll ed by the brain. In plants and other living things that have no brain, it must be something else.The migration of animals happens when a signal is sent out. For exampl e, when days become shorter, birds l eave the northern parts of the worl d and fly south where it is warm. 28Humans also have biological clocks that control their daily rhythms. When peopl e travel by plane from one continent to another, they often cross many time zones. Their internal cl ocks don’t seem to work correctly. We call this jet lag(时差).29 Peopl e who work night shifts also have problems with their biol ogicalcl ocks. They may not be as active as peopl e who work during the daytime.Biol ogical clocks control many rhythms of life. 30 Doctors arel ooking for new ways to make travelling more comfortabl e and medical treatment more effective.A. But where can you find it?B. This makes them feel tired.C. In the summer they fly back to have babies.D. We are learning more and more about them.E. Biol ogical clocks can be adjusted.F. Other rhythms are based on months, seasons or years.第五部分：填词补文（10*1.5）Life is DifficultWhat makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Probl ems cause 31 , anger, fear or d espair. These are 32 feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life 33 an endl ess series of problems, it is 34 difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet it is in this process of 35 and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems call forth our 36 and our wisd om. It is only because of problems that we grow 37 and spiritually. When we want to encourage the 38 of the human spirit, we encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we d eliberately 39 problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of confronting and resolving that we learn. It is for this reason that 40 peopl e learn not to fear but actually to wel come problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.A. meeting E. wise I. posesB. courage F. takes J. alwaysC. careful G. sadness K. uncomfortabl eD. growth H. set L. mentally第六部分：完型补文（10*1.5）Are There Truths in Dreams?Imagine waking up after dreaming(dream) about a terribl e plane crash. The next day you will make a plane journey that you have 41 (plan) l one before. Will you get on the plane?A survey shows that you may not cancel your trip. But your dream will probably influence your 42 (thought) during the journey. You may feel 43 (worry) and find the trip much 44 (l ong) than before. So dreams may influence what we are 45 (real) d oing whil e we are awake.The explanation of dreams is still a(n) 46 (cl ear) are. A team of researchers are entering a new field of studies: Do dreams actually influence our 47 (behave)? Over the past few years, they have 48 (d o) studies in different cultures and found out that dreams contain some 49 (hid e) truths: dreams affect the way peopl e live and work. But researchers also tell peopl e not to be 50 (easy) influenced by their dreams.第七部分：短文写作（30分）某英文报社正在举办题为“E-books or Paper Books?”的征文活动。

CLOZE Fill in each of the 15 blanks in the passage with the most likely answer. Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (1 point each, 15 points in all) Without transportation, there could be no trade. Without trade, there could be no towns and cities. Towns and cities are traditionally the 16 of civilization. Therefore, transportation helps make civilization 17 . Throughout most of the prehistoric period, people lived by hunting, fishing, and 18 wild plants. They had no beasts of burden, wheeled vehicles, or roads. People traveled 19 and carried their infants and belongings strapped to their backs or heads. Loads too heavy for one person to carry were strapped to a pole and carried by two people. 20 , people learned that they could drag loads along the ground on sledges. During late prehistoric times, people began to build sledges with runners. When people developed agriculture and began to establish 21 settlements, trade between settlements started to develop, which created a need for better 22 of transportation. The donkey and the ox, which had been tamed for food products and farm work, helped 23 this need. The use of donkeys and oxen as beasts of burden enabled people to 24 heavier loads than they could before. People also began to develop water transportation during prehistoric times. They built rafts of such 25 as logs or reeds. Later, people learned 26 to make dugouts and canoes. People paddled these early craft with their hands or propelled them with paddles or 27 .

READING COMPREHENSION Read the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all) Passage One If you are searching for a job, you have perhaps read lots of local newspapers with job vacancies, and certainly even visited an employment agency or firm to help you get the job of your dreams. Job hunting is not an easy task and one needs to be informed on how to find numerous advertisements of vacancies that suit your professional needs. There are a number of useful tips on how to write unique and good curriculum vitae (CV)(简历) documents that all job seekers should like. All this information can be obtained at no cost from most job sites. Today most recruitment companies advertise their vacancies on the job websites and this provides a free and accessible way to find thousands of jobs and one can feasibly apply for jobs within a very short time. Most recruitment portals (门户站) allow you to keep your CV with them and send it automatically to the human resources for consideration any time you apply for a job. This service also allows you to up-date your CV at any time and companies looking for employees will also be able to view your employment and qualification details and send you an application invitation without the need of your having to look for them. If you are looking for a job, you can start with the most popular and trusted sites that will give you a wide range of choices to select from. E-mail alerts can save you a lot of energy and time but one needs to specify the type of notifications she/he needs to receive depending on one’s career goals. You should also need to be keen on the deadline because most sites do not remove the list of jobs, whose deadline has already passed. In case the deadline is not indicated you can e-mail or call the employer to check the details. Before applying for a job it is advisable to read the terms and conditions of recruitment well to see whether you qualify for the position because it is pointless to apply for a post of which you do not meet the requirements. You need to expand your job search by browsing related categories or you can look for a job using alternative job titles in other areas, for instance, outside your locality, since an opportunity can present itself at the least expected place. Business sites are also becoming very popular and help many job seekers to create and develop relationships that will help them find a job. There are numerous job sites available but one needs to be very careful. There are people who use these sites to cheat innocent employment seekers. These sites also offer useful information and tips on how to find a job, write a CV, apply for a vacancy as well as tips on interviews. Some sites provide you with career coaches to give you all the information you need on jobs and can also help you find the right job that is in line with your career or profession. 41. What kind of service do most recruitment portals offer? A. They keep job seekers’ CVs. B. They publish job seekers’ CVs. C. They up-date CVs for job seekers. D. They prepare CVs for job seekers. 42.Which of the following can best explain the word “feasibly” in Paragraph 2?A. Directly.B. Effortlessly.C. Possibly.D. Immediately. 43. Which of the following can help you avoid wasting time on a job which does not exist?A. To ask for details.B. To check the deadline.0 0 C . T o i n q u i r e a b o u t p a y m e n t s . D .

Kindness of StrangersAt the store where I worked, I noticed a young boy of about ten shopping alone with his school list. He placed everything in his basket and went to the checkout.The young shop assistant told him the total price, $37.60. The boy was instantly disappointed and said he had only been given $20. He took out one thing at a time until he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. when he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said,“1 wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the mostbeautiful smile. His mother arrived much later to pick him up. Instead of running to the car, he ran back into the store and called out, “Thank you!”I was so proud of my team that day.
