During his career he produced more than 100 children’s books. For over sixty years, his artistic skill brought to life richly imaginative worlds filled with children, animals and magical creatures. Two of his works, Where the Wild Thing Are and In the Night Kitchen, gave new ideas to modern children’s literature.Maurice Sendak was born in 1928 in New York City. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Poland. As a child, Maurice was often sick. As a result, he stayed home and read books and drew pictures to entertain himself.Maurice became known for stories that were often dark and intense. For example, Outside Over There is about a kidnapped（绑架）baby. Her sister leaves the safety of home to rescue the baby from a strange and dream-like world. Maurice said he got the idea for the story from a real-life kidnapping in 1932. The baby son of the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from home and murdered. Maurice was only a small child at the time. But he never forgot his fear as he listened to the radio broadcasts about the baby kidnapping.Maurice grew up with continuous reminders about death. When he was sick, his grandmother dressed him in white clothes that she thought would help him avoid dying. During World War Two, many of his family members were murdered in the Nazi German death camps. He remembers his mother screaming and cry8ing each time she learned that another family member had been killed. Sometimes, his parents would talk about he dead relatives, especially the children.These influences help explain an important part of Maurice Sendak’s books. They often show children dealing with and overcoming evil forces and other complex situations. many of his stories are about a child trying to survive while facing fears or other difficult feelings. In his books, he skillfully combined adults’ point of view with children’s, and the dark and light in all of us.43. From the first paragraph we know that ______.A. Maurice Sendak got awarded because of two famous booksB. Maurice Sendakis a productive writer of children’s booksC. Maurice Sendak’s works children’s imaginationD. Maurice Sendak’s works deal with modern children’s life44.

Many of his family members were killed by Nazi.D. His parents witnessed the baby kidnapping.46. What are Maurice Sendak’s books often abo ut?A. His own experience as a small child.B. Children getting over tough situations.C. Adults point of view combined with children’s.D. Dark and intense stories during World War Two.B.IBM, the technology company has released its latest “5 in5”report. The expert think five development will become realitywithin the next five years. Scientists at IBM and other companiesare researching ways to make the predictions come true.They say people will soon have a way to just think aboutcalling or e-mailing someone in order to make it happen. It’s asimple ability t o command a system to do something for youwithout actually doing or saying anything, literally thinking and having something happen as a result that's accurate. Something with really deep capability so that a person, for instance, a quadriplegic, a paraplegic can actually utilize brainwaves to make things happen and basically run their own lives independently.Another prediction is a way for people to powe r their homes and offices using energy from activities like walking or running. For example, you can see somebody in the third world who has access to a phone or a smart phone but doesn’t have access to the power grid（电力网）, and literally a shoe can help gain energy from walking and can charge the battery to enable that person to actually become a connected with the rest of the world.Passwords could soon become a thing of the past. Some of the most common biometrics used to identify people are fingerprints, face and voice recognition, and iris scans. The iris is the colored part of the eye. Dr. Bernie Myerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other devices.Another prediction is from the experts at EBM: better technology to prevent unwantede-mail."The device, as you act upon it, as you eliminate mail, you don't read it, you just look at it and kill it, after a while it learns your habits and works for you as your assistant by eliminating stuff you never wanted anyway,” says Dr. Bernie Myerson.The last on IBM's 5 in 5 list is an end to the "digital divide" between those who have technology and those who do not. Dr. Bernie Myerson says, "Think about the digital divide today: the haves and the have-nots, people who are and are not connected. We expect within five years, better than80% coverage of the world’s populations by cellular to smartphones. At that point, imagine having, for instance, the ability to speak openly with anybody anywhere, anytime and any language -- real time translation.47. In the first prediction, people will soon have a way to make things happen by _______.A. using brainwavesB. e-mailing somebodyC. making a callD. talking to somebody48. from the example in Para. 3, we can learn that in the third world ______.A. people may have no access to electricityB. more people are possessing smart phonesC. people can gain energy merely from shoesD. scientists are trying to set up the power grid49. The “device” mentioned in Para. 5 can help you to ______.A. from your e-mail reading habitB. read e-mail as your assistantC. send e-mail much more freelyD. delete your unwanted e-mail50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The problem with the digital divide has been dealt with.B. Only 20% of people still have no access to hi-tech phones.C. There may be no language barriers among people using smart phones.D. People from every corner of the world can be connected by the Internet.CScientists Announce Age of Tailored Cancer Care－Thanks to Your DNAA decade ago it took tense of millions of pounds and many years to sequence the complete genome of one individual. Now it takes a few hundred pounds and a couple of days to decode the entire DNA of a cancer cell.The rapid pace of change in DNA sequencing is leading to a transformation in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In the coming decade every cancer patient will receive a genetic profile of their disease, scientists predict.An age of personalized medicine where patients receive tailored treatments based on their DNA rather than just their symptoms could end the one-drug-treats-all approach to cancer treatment, which has failed many patients in the past, they said.The revolution will also mean that the classic method of testing new drugs and treatments based on large scale of clinical trials with thousands of patients will be replaced by more targeted approach focused on a smaller number of individuals with known genetic profiles.Rapid DNA sequencing will signal an age where cancer drugs will be made for patients based on the type of DMA mutations (转变) carried within their tumor（肿瘤）, scientists said. “In part it might signal a significant shift in the way medicine is performed for cancer in the 21st century,” said Professor Alan Ashworth, chief executive of the Institute of Cancer Research of London.“This is not science fiction. It’s happening in a number of places around the world but we feel it will be absolutely routine within the next five to ten years for every cancer patient,” said Professor Ashworth, adding that it could mean drugs designed for one type of cancer will be used in the treatment of quite different cancers, as scientists uncover common biochemical pathways that link one disease to another.“It opens up the possibility of using drugs in a context in which they were not originally developed,” Professor Ashworth said. It could also change the whole approach to drug development and clinical trials. He added, “In the past, drugs have been developed with large clinical trials involving thousands of patients and working out what is best for the average patient. What we are saying now is to look at what is best for the individual patient. It may be that in certain rare cancer types, a drug may be considered effective, even though there may well never be clinical trial evidence to prove it.”51. The underlined word “tailored” in Para. 3 probably means ______.A. fitting one personB. well designedC. conveniently madeD. aiming at common people52. Compared with the new approach, the old method of drug development ________.A. is focused on a small number of patientsB. is based on a large number of tests on patientsC. works out what is best for one particular patientD. cannot produce trial evidence to prove a drug’s effect53. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. A decade ago patients with unknown genetic profiles cannot be treated.B. Cancer treatment in the future will be mainly based on the symptoms of the patients.C. the revolution in cancer treatment is a result of the rapid change in DNA sequencing.D. Up to now the one-drug-treats-all approach to cancer treatment has been workingproperly.第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，共8分）根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Such people never bu mp into other people.However, a second person thought that this was more a quest ion of civilized behavior 27.______ good manners. Instead, thi s other person told us a story, 28.______ he said was quite we ll known, about an American who 29.______ (invite) to an Ara b meal in one of the countries of the Middle East. The Americ an hadn’t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect.

Picking it up, he put it int o his collar, 30.______ _______it fell across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, 31.______ (say) nothing, but i mmediately copied the action of his guest.And that, said this second person, 32.______ (be)a fine exam ple of good manners.(B)Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great de al--- or at least many parts of it have.

The increasingly popular “design museums” that ar e opening today, however, perform quite a different __41__. U nlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects t hat are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even __42___ things like fridges and washing mach ines in the center of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made us e of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales--it is the ___43___ of excellently invented products. The differe nce between the window of a department store and the showc ase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you somet hing, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places wh ere people feel __44___ with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frigh tened or puzzled. This is __45__ because design museums cl early show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has __46__ the quality of our lives.

For those who are well prepared, it can be a 51 experience but for others it can be a 52 time. Love them or hate them, t hough, your job prospects are largely dependent on your inter view 53 . It’s not unusual for a company to have fifty or sixty applicants, for a job, so if you are asked to attend a(n) 54 , y ou are a serious competitor being seriously 55 for the post.

Yo u need to 59 the employer that you can do the job, 60 yo u mustn’t appear over-confident. Being pleasant, however, doesn’t mean that you sh ould 61 with everything that the interviewer says.

For each of them there are four c hoices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best acc ording to the information given in the passage you have just r ead.AThe morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my plac e. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my he ad stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till m y dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unb earable. I started calling the dentists in the phonebook, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist w ill fit you in .”I look my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenlyI began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn ’t he as busy as the others?In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw not hing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said ,“Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him? ”I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy th e artwork,” the assistant said.“The artwork?” I was puzzled.The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it, on the ceiling. How consi derate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief！66. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling t hat morning?A. Cheerful.B. Nervous.C. Satisfied.D. Upset.67. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.B.

A student from Japan who has been studying in for a yea r and intends togo to college in a few months will _____.be unable to get money from any LEAget money if taking a first degree courseget money from LEA when finishing his coursehave to open a bank account before getting money72. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She ha s workedsince she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year ?None. B. £155. C. £615.D. £515.73. A big bank offers a new student special services because _____.A. they need student accounts badlyB. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope he’ll be a potential customerCPublicity（宣传) offers several benefits. There are not costs for message ti me or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a short time and ne w products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the re ader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, peop le are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Fe ature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their c overage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news relea ses and find only portions mentioned by the media, and medi a have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would li ke.For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a massiv e publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprov e the rumor（谣言）. The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as whe n a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the m edia may not cover the introduction or opening until after the ti me it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the place ment of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Final ly, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the a mount of coverage to be devoted to it.74. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. credibilityD. profitability75. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are m ore _____.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective76. The example of “Procter & G amble” is given to show ____ _.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokespersonC. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity77. What’s the author’s attitude towards publicity?A. doubtfulB. objectiveC. passiveD. supportiveSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its b rief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of t he blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior o f drivers who refuse to respect the legal or moral rights of othe rs. So the massacre（屠杀）on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carel essness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damages to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be connected with psychological c ondition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers’ rea ctions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that mi ght otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for e very driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem i s not limited to drivers. Street walkers regularly ignore traffic r egulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to th e basic rules of the road.In the past few years, safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic r oad-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lo wered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreas ed. But the accident experts still worry because there has bee n little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The onlyreal and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince peopl e that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and con centration. Those who fail to do all these things present a thre at to those with whom they share the road.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in N O MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Why road killers can’t be excused?Because __________.79. In order to avoid automobile accidents, the experts sugge st drivers should __________.80. Besides drivers, who should also be blamed for most road s accidents?81. The accident rate has decreased in the past few years be cause of __________.第II卷I.

During his career he produced more than 100 children’s books. For over sixty years, his artistic skill brought to life richly imaginative worlds filled with children, animals and magical creatures. Two of his works, Where the Wild Thing Are and In the Night Kitchen, gave new ideas to modern children’s literature.Maurice Sendak was born in 1928 in New York City. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Poland. As a child, Maurice was often sick. As a result, he stayed home and read books and drew pictures to entertain himself.Maurice became known for stories that were often dark and intense. For example, Outside Over There is about a kidnapped（绑架）baby. Her sister leaves the safety of home to rescue the baby from a strange and dream-like world. Maurice said he got the idea for the story from a real-life kidnapping in 1932. The baby son of the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from home and murdered. Maurice was only a small child at the time. But he never forgot his fear as he listened to the radio broadcasts about the baby kidnapping.Maurice grew up with continuous reminders about death. When he was sick, his grandmother dressed him in white clothes that she thought would help him avoid dying. During World War Two, many of his family members were murdered in the Nazi German death camps. He remembers his mother screaming and cry8ing each time she learned that another family member had been killed. Sometimes, his parents would talk about he dead relatives, especially the children.These influences help explain an important part of Maurice Sendak’s books. They often show children dealing with and overcoming evil forces and other complex situations. many of his stories are about a child trying to survive while facing fears or other difficult feelings. In his books, he skillfully combined adults’ point of view with children’s, and the dark and light in all of us.43. From the first paragraph we know that ______.A. Maurice Sendak got awarded because of two famous booksB. Maurice Sendakis a productive writer of children’s booksC. Maurice Sendak’s works children’s imaginationD. Maurice Sendak’s works deal with modern children’s life44. In his childhood, Maurice Sendak _____.A. often got sick of the outside worldB. moved from Poland with his parentsC. enjoyed himself in reading and drawingD. was afraid to listen to radio broadcast45. What can we learn about Maurice Sendak’s family?A. His mother often reminded him of the dead relatives.B. His grandmother preferred to be dressed in white.C. Many of his family members were killed by Nazi.D. His parents witnessed the baby kidnapping.46. What are Maurice Sendak’s books often about?A. His own experience as a small child.B. Children getting over tough situations.C. Adults point of view combined with children’s.D. Dark and intense stories during World War Two.B.IBM, the technology company has released its latest “5 in5”report. The expert think five development will beco me realitywithin the next five years. Scientists at IBM and other companiesare researching ways to make the predictions come true.They say people will soon have a way to just think aboutcalling or e-mailing someone in order to make it happen. It’s asimple ability t o command a system to do something for youwithout actually doing or saying anything, literally thinking and having something happen as a result that's accurate. Something with really deep capability so that a person, for instance, a quadriplegic, a paraplegic can actually utilize brainwaves to make things happen and basically run their own lives independently.Another prediction is a way for people to powe r their homes and offices using energy from activities like walking or running. For example, you can see somebody in the third world who has access to a phone or a smart phone but doesn’t have access to the power grid（电力网）, and literally a shoe can help gain energy from walking and can charge the battery to enable that person to actually become a connected with the rest of the world.Passwords could soon become a thing of the past. Some of the most common biometrics used to identify people are fingerprints, face and voice recognition, and iris scans. The iris is the colored part of the eye. Dr. Bernie Myerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other devices.Another prediction is from the experts at EBM: better technology to prevent unwantede-mail."The device, as you act upon it, as you eliminate mail, you don't read it, you just look at it and kill it, after a while it learns your habits and works for you as your assistant by eliminating stuff you never wanted anyway,” says Dr. Bernie Myerson.The last on IBM's 5 in 5 list is an end to the "digital divide" between those who have technology and those who do not. Dr. Bernie Myerson says, "Think about the digital divide today: the haves and the have-nots, people who are and are not connected. We expect within five years, better than80% coverage of the world’s populations by cellular to smartphones. At that point, imagine having, for instance, the ability to speak openly with anybody anywhere, anytime and any language -- real time translation.47. In the first prediction, people will soon have a way to make things happen by _______.A. using brainwavesB. e-mailing somebodyC. making a callD. talking to somebody48. from the example in Para. 3, we can learn that in the third world ______.A. people may have no access to electricityB. more people are possessing smart phonesC. people can gain energy merely from shoesD. scientists are trying to set up the power grid49. The “device” mentioned in Para. 5 can help you to ______.A. from your e-mail reading habitB. read e-mail as your assistantC. send e-mail much more freelyD. delete your unwanted e-mail50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The problem with the digital divide has been dealt with.B. Only 20% of people still have no access to hi-tech phones.C. There may be no language barriers among people using smart phones.D. People from every corner of the world can be connected by the Internet.CScientists Announce Age of Tailored Cancer Care－Thanks to Your DNAA decade ago it took tense of millions of pounds and many years to sequence the complete genome of one individual. Now it takes a few hundred pounds and a couple of days to decode the entire DNA of a cancer cell.The rapid pace of change in DNA sequencing is leading to a transformation in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In the coming decade every cancer patient will receive a genetic profile of their disease, scientists predict.An age of personalized medicine where patients receive tailored treatments based on their DNA rather than just their symptoms could end the one-drug-treats-all approach to cancer treatment, which has failed many patients in the past, they said.The revolution will also mean that the classic method of testing new drugs and treatments based on large scale of clinical trials with thousands of patients will be replaced by more targeted approach focused on a smaller number of individuals with known genetic profiles.Rapid DNA sequencing will signal an age where cancer drugs will be made for patients based on the type of DMA mutations (转变) carried within their tumor（肿瘤）, scientists said. “In part it might signal a significant shift in the way medicine is performed for cancer in the 21st century,” said Professor Alan Ashworth, chief executive of the Institute of Cancer Research of London.“This is not science fiction. It’s happening in a number of places around the world but we feel it will be absolutely routine within the next five to ten years for every cancer patient,” said Professor Ashworth, adding that it could mean drugs designed for one type of cancer will be used in the treatment of quite different cancers, as scientists uncover common biochemical pathways that link one disease to another.“It opens up the possibility of using drugs in a context in which they were not originally develop ed,” Professor Ashworth said. It could also change the whole approach to drug development and clinical trials. He added, “In the past, drugs have been developed with large clinical trials involving thousands of patients and working out what is best for the average patient. What we are saying now is to look at what is best for the individual patient. It may be that in certain rare cancer types, a drug may be considered effective, even though there may well never be clinical trial evidence to prove it.”51. T he underlined word “tailored” in Para. 3 probably means ______.A. fitting one personB. well designedC. conveniently madeD. aiming at common people52. Compared with the new approach, the old method of drug development ________.A. is focused on a small number of patientsB. is based on a large number of tests on patientsC. works out what is best for one particular patientD. cannot produce trial evidence to prove a drug’s effect53. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. A decade ago patients with unknown genetic profiles cannot be treated.B. Cancer treatment in the future will be mainly based on the symptoms of the patients.C. the revolution in cancer treatment is a result of the rapid change in DNA sequencing.D. Up to now the one-drug-treats-all approach to cancer treatment has been workingproperly.第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，共8分）根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Dear Tom,
I am writing to share with you how I learn English.
In class, I listen to the teacher attentively so I can get the most out of each lesson. Also, I take active part in the class activities to make up for the absence of native language environment.
After class, I create various opportunities to practice English, such as listening to English songs, reading English articles or watching English movies. Teamwork is also a must. Working with my partners, I can communicate with them and share the methods of learning English. In this way I can get adequate input.
I hope you’ll make rapid progress in learning Chinese.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
