When asked this question, most people would say no. They don’t think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that oneof their neighbors is happier than anyone of them , "Doctor Frank has a career himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his. "Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier -a relative , a close friend or, often , someone we even hardly know. lance met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters , and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet , he is grateful for its existence. He told me , because he could look up informationon diabetes(糖尿病)一the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this , I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of peoples lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life thanothers , yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me , "Whenever I enter a room , all I see is hair."It is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect. " As nothing is perfect, anyone can be unhappy. It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy. Questions 31-35:31. According to the author, most people would _________they are the happiest in the worldA. doubt whetherB. like to think thatC. think about whetherD. not think that32. The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with _________.A. a close friendB. a relativeC. anyone they think is happierD. someone we even hardly know33. What is NOT true about the young man the author once met with?A. He is a TV talk show host.B. Everything goes effortlessly right for him.C. He loves his wife and their daughters.D. He is very happy with his work and his life.34. After talking with the young man about the Internet, the author realizes _________.A. that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed inthe latter' s lifeB. how grateful the young man is for the existence of the InternetC. how terribly the young man's wife suffer from the disease -diabetesD. that there is a lot of information one can look up in the Internet35. The significant conclusion the author draws about happiness is that_________.A. it is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect"B. unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest faultC. we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happyD. true happiness lies in struggling to he happy短文理解3并根据短文内容判断其后的旬子是否正确(T)、错误(刊，还字中没有涉及相关信息(NG)。

Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. I you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.41. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their won shelter.D. They like to stay in warm places.42. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. T o know when to bring them inside.B. T o keep them from eating bad food.C. T o help them find shelters.D. T o keep them company.43. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild44. What is the purpose of this text?A. T o solve a problem.B. T o give practical advice.C. T o tell an interesting story.D. T o present a research result.(B)Y ou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. Y ou do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yo urself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” Y ou must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough t o catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. Y o u may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. Y ou must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’ strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.46. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.47. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. T ack the boat.48. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Y et it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, manypeople in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Y et many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.50. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits51. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.52. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions(D)ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia –One of the world’s most famou s fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said T uesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science inHouston, T exas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September .“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bar tsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New Y ork, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of herdiscovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 312-foot-tall ape-man (猿人). 53. The author writes this text mainly to ___ .A. introduce a few U.S. museumsB. describe some research workC. discuss the value of an ape-manD. report a coming event54. What does the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A painting of the skeleton.B. A photograph of LucyC. A copy of the skeleton.D. A written record of Lucy.55. How many cities has Lucy’s U.S. tour plan already included?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Eleven. 56. What was the skeleton named after? A. An ape-man. B. A song.C. A singer.D. A camp. (E)Make Up Y our Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winter .” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, S tanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic – you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.57. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don’t do well at school.B. They are often misunderstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.58. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A. doesn’t want to work hardB. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with othersD. can succeed with the help of teachers59. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.B. T alent comes with one’s birth.C. Scores should be highly valued.D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.60. What should parents do for their children based on Dwec k’s study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

READING COMPREHENSIONRead 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 OneBike trailers are now becoming a popular mode of transportation. If you are wondering what a bike trailer is, it is a motorless wheeled frame attached to your bicycle. Its primary function is to help the bike rider in carrying additional load．Instead of carrying the load on the bike, it can now be carried on the bike trailer which greatly reduces the strain placed on the bike. It is convenient, easy to use and it helps you live an active lifestyle.Bike trailers are an alternative to carrying different sorts of loads. Instead of using your car to go to the nearby grocery store perhaps, why not use your bike trailer? It not only saves you money from the gas which should have been spent by your car, it also does the job of carrying your groceries.Planning to get a bike trailer? Make sure to decide on what you are going to use it for first. Different bike trailers are made for different uses. There are a variety of bike trailers being commercially manufactured．The general trailers available in the market today are the general cargo trailer which is used to carry different sorts of loads from groceries to furniture, child passenger trailer which is used to carry a child, pet trailer which is used to carry cats or dogs, and canoe trailers which are used to carry long and narrow loads like canoes and surfboards.If you want a trailer to carry cargo all around, then a cargo trailer would definitely suit your needs. If you want to take your child along with you while you ride your bike, then check out the different child trailers available in the market.There are two types of bike trailers in the market today based on the number of wheels. The first is the single wheel trailer which can carry light to medium loads. It is popular among hikers since it is great for trail riding and narrow surfaces. It is also stable when making sharp turns at high speeds. The other type of trailer is the two-wheel trailer which obviously has two wheels. It can carry heavier loads than the single wheel type. When making sharp turns at high speeds it may roll over, so be sure to slow down before making the turns.Caring for your bike trailer is easy and comparable to that of a bike. Cleaning the trailer requires water, soap and wax. Regularly check the tires for abnormalities like low air pressure or wear and tear for this may cause accidents.When you are out riding in your bike trailer, keep in mind that it is different from riding a bike. The responses are different. You may notice that your bike may be a bit unresponsive due to the extra load．Be sure to take trial runs in non-busy roads to get you acquainted with the newriding conditions.Riding at night is more dangerous than riding during the daytime. Make sure that you have a front light and a rear light and that both are switched on. Be sure also to have front, back and side reflectors so that you would always be visible to traffic．41. The passage mentions all the following aspects about a bike trailer EXCEPT ______.A．its maintenance B．its priceC．its definition D．its uses42. Which of the following is an advantage of a bike trailer over a car?A．It can help reduce the weight on your riding.B．You don’t have to check the tires regularly.C．You don’t have to spend money on gas.D．It can carry groceries for you.43. A two-wheel trailer should be a better choice than a single wheel trailer when ______.A．you carry heavy loadsB．you ride on a narrow surfaceC．your additional load is not heavyD．you make a sharp turn at high speed44. Which of the following is a difference between riding in a bike trailer and riding a bike?A．You need to check the tires regularly for a bike trailer.B．It is easier to ride in a trailer than riding a bike.C．A trailer requires water and wax for cleaning.D．A trailer cannot react as quickly as a bike.45. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To provide information about bike trailers.B．To advertise for a new mode of transportation.C．To arouse your interest in more active lifestyle.D．To advise you to be careful when riding in a bike trailer.Passage 2Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother over in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag; it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and, over the months, he had grown to hate them.Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas; they enjoyed game-playing, and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough—but then there was all the moaning afterwards. “The usual people say the usual things.” “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.” “I was thinking of making a suggestion—but I couldn’t be bothered.”As this morning’s meeting began, Martin braced himself for the usual moroseness (闷闷不乐) and monotony. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London—he had had to sit over the wing and the noise was terrible. But, as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.He realized—to his amazement—that he could hear what his colleagues were thinking as well as what they were saying. As he concentrated still harder, he found that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be unpopular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions, based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying …?” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” He was aware that his colleagues were unsettled by how insightful these interventions were. They looked at him mystified．In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly-acquired talent.Given more confidence now, Martin forgot his usual misery at participating in such meetings and began making comments of his own. However, he became aware that some of his colleagues were looking at him totally confused．One or two even had a gentle smile playing on their lips. Only gradually did it dawn on them—he could hear their thoughts and they were not really saying what they were thinking.As the meeting progressed, Martin became aware of changes to the tone and style of the event. It was clear to him now that, one by one, each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of all the others and this was subtly changing how they interacted with one another. The game-playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.The meeting ended．As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.”“All meetings should be like that.” “In future, I’m going to say what I think.”46. Why did Martin hate the team meetings?A．His colleagues were making stories.B．His colleagues complained too much.C．His colleagues pretended to be friendly.D．His colleagues held back their true feelings.47. Which of the following is nearest in meaning to “braced himself for” in Paragraph 3 ?A．prepared himself for B．adapted himself toC．concemed himself about D．persuaded himself into48. With the strange power of being able to hear what others were thinking and saying, Martinrealized that______.A．he had been cheatedB．he was lucky to know the truthC．people didn’t mean what they saidD．people were unwilling to work there49. Which of the following can be expected at future team meetings?A．Everyone will be cooperative. B．Everyone will be straightforward．C．Everyone will be respectful. D．Everyone will be considerate.50. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．A Mysterious Power B．A Meeting of MindsC．Trust Means All D．Unity Is Success非选择题部分注意事项：用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能答在试题卷上。

There key issues have arisen in the tide of this rapid change: individual privacy, coverage of politics in the media ,and the availability of information.The first issue is privacy New communication and information technologies have enabled many organizations and people to collect, organize, and sell information about other people and organizations, both quickly cheaply. The easy availability of personal information makes banking, education, health care, and sales much more convenient for both consumers and sellers. Credit card and automated teller machine(ATM)systems would be impossible without large databases of information available on demand. Scanners in the supermarket rapidly and accurately record every item that passes over them, making grocery checkouts faster and error free38The negative side to all this shared information is that there is little control over who sees or uses this personal information.39 Credit report errors occur often and can be very damaging to a person’s financial situation. Many Americans worry that having so much of their personal information available to so many others may hurt their privacy.The second issue is coverage of politics .Some researchers believe that media news coverage of campaigning has hurt the political process in the UnitedStates.40 Other researchers think that the media, especially newspapers and television, have helped educate Americans about the political process, and have made them more critical and careful voters.The penny press ,public education, and public libraries are uniquely American inventions that were meant to ensure that Americans could educate themselves about important issues and events,and so be able to make political decisions.Today,however,most cities have only one newspaper(and therefore no competing points of view in the press); public education is experiencing unprecedented financial difficulties and lack of public confidence ,and governments are cutting library budgets to the minimum41Another concern among researchers studying changes in society is information equity—the growing gap between the information rich(people with easy access to information)and the information poor (people with less access to information).As new technologies and communication services emerge,the service companies would like to find receptive –and paying—audiences .42 AT&T provided”universal service at affordable prices”so that most people could afford local telephone service.[A]In this climate ,many researchers are concerned that Americans may not have access to reliable information,although some believe that more citizens will turn to the Internet and the World Wide Web as sources of information about key issues.[B]Companies maintain huge mailing lists of customers that record not only their names,addresses,and phone numbers,but also major recent purchases,credit ratings,and demographic information(such as sex,age ,income,and educational level)that helps the companies identify target markets for specific products.[C]Medical records are shared not only by doctors’ offices and hospitals but are regularly made available to insurance companies as well Auto insurance companies obtain information about traffic violations from state and local police departments.[D]Newspaper circulation has declined,and magazine and book prices have increased sharply.Online services(Internet service providers)charge customers by the hour to connect to their networks.[E]Newspapers,radio,and television were for many years the major sources of day –to-day information,and they were very inexpensive for the audience.Broadcast signals could be received free of charge,and daily newspapers supported themselves mainly with advertising so that per copy prices stayed low.[F]They cite the declining rates of voter participation and negative public opinions about politics and politicians as evidence that despite the coverage,Americans know less about politics,and therefore are more subject to political control than ever before.PartC43.Read the following text and summarize it in Chinese.You should write approximately200characters.(20points)British government today unveiled plans for strengthening the regulation of home education,forcing families who choose not to send their children to school to registerannually with their local authorities, submit learning plans and undergo regular inspections.If they fail the inspections they could be made to send their children to school. The plans,contained in an independent report which was immediately backed by ministers,were ordered to address concerns that home education has been used as a cover for child abuse Graham Badman,the child protection expert who led the review,said they had found strong evidence that child protection concerns are more common among home-educating families,and that there could be as 80000children whose parents have kept them out of schooling.Under the plans,parents will by law have to register their child once a year with their local council,and provide a statement of what and how they intend to teach their children over the coming year An inspector from the local authorities-a headteacher,social worker or child psychologist-will visit the family once a year to assess whether the education promised by the parents is being delivered.The law will also be changed to give the local authority the right to enter the family’s home and talk to the child without a parent being present Parents will be given two weeks’no tice of a visit from the local authority.Badman said that there needed to be a further review to determine the minimum standards of education that parents should provide,but added:“Atthe age of eight they should be reasonably independent learners,competen t in handing numbers.”The report also recommends that local authorities provide more support to families who are home edncating,including extending some forms of flexible schooling that would allow their children to take part in some lessons at school,use school libraries or music lessons. Local authorities would refuse registration,if there are concerns about the safety of the child ,but could also take court action to force a child to attend school if the parents were failing to meet the promises made in their annual statements.Local authorities currently have 20000children registered as being home-educated but the number could be much higher as children who have never been to school have not been required to register.The review states that the real number of home-educated children could be closer to 80000.The report found that children who are home-educated are more likely to be known to the local children’s social care system.Is also examined a small number of serious case reviews,ordered in more extreme cases of child abuse ,where the children had been home-educated.“The consideration of these reviews…suggests that those engaged in the support and monitoring of home education should be alert to the possible additional risk to children.”John Dunford,ge neral secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders,said:“A good academic foundation is important,but children also need to learn how to build relationships,mange conflict and work well with people with different views and backgrounds.Children who are home-educated inevitably have less of an opportunity to develop these skills,even if they are involved in after-class activities.“In some situations,where a child has special needs or health issues,home schooling may be the best choice.For the vast majority of children,being in a school with their classmates gives them the best opportunity to develop into well-rorunded adults.”Section II WritingPart A44.Translate the following text into English.(10points)绝大多数人的生命潜能有太多未被发现或利用。

Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air，water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you，you will find that there are two kinds of plants：flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed，some have two，three or four，and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）。

One of my favorite ways to do this is by developing my own helping habits. These little acts of kindness are opportunities to be of service and reminders of how good it feels to be kind and helpful.We live in a rural area of the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of what we see is beauty and nature. One of the exceptions to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their windows as they are driving on the rural roads. One of the few drawbacks to living in the countryside is that public services, such as rubbish collection, are less available than they are closer to the city.A helping habit that I practice regularly with my two children is picking up rubbish in our surrounding area. We've become so accustomed to doing this that my daughters will often say to me in excited voices, "There's some rubbish, Daddy, stop the car!" And if we have time, we will often pull over and pick it up. It may seem strange, but we actually enjoy it. We pick up rubbish in parks, on sidewalks, practically anywhere. Once I even saw a complete stranger picking up litter close to where we live. He smiled at me and said, "I saw you doing it, and it seemed like a good idea."Picking up rubbish is only one of endless supplies of helping habits. You might like holding a door open for people, visiting lonely elderly people in nursing homes, or shoveling snow off someone else's driveway. Think of something that seems effortless yet helpful. It's fun, personally rewarding, and sets a good example. Everyone wins.40. The underlined word ―drawbacks‖ can possibly be replaced by_____A. disadvantagesB. advantagesC. benefitsD. possibilities41. Which of the followings is NOT true according to the passage?A. Developing helping habits will benefit yourself and anyone else.B. The public service in the countryside is less satisfied.C. Although my daughters and I don’t liking picking up rubbish, we practice it regularly inour surrounding area.D. There are various effortless yet helpful ways to help others.42. The best title of this passage may be _____.A. Picking up rubbish is a helping habitB. Developing your own helping habitsC. A good ideaD. How to keep your life peaceful and kind.43. What do the last underlined words mean?A. A helping habit is beneficial to everyone.B. A helping habit is a funny example.C. If you help others ,you will be rewarded.D. Setting a good example helps everyone win.CThe twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better, changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science. Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science m has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science -- a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science -- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons, Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.William Shakespeare said, "The web of our life is of a mingled yarn , good and ill together.‖The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities – science seemsto prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?44. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D.45. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that________.A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for warB. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for warC. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weaponsD. the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth46. The underlined word "mingled" in the last paragraph most probably means________.A. simpleB. mixedC. sadD. happyDWith his standard Mandarin pronunciation, practiced skills on Chinese expressions and special humor with a Peking accent, Dashan has become a household name across China. The Chinese language even though is considered by many as one of the most difficult languages in the world. But to Dashan, the great challenge was a piece of cake due to his deep interest, proper method and the excellent environment he created for himself.―Interest is the best teacher.‖ Even if the 20-year-old Mark Rowswell—Dashan’s real name—hadn’t fully realized wha t attracted him to the Chinese Department at the University of Toronto in Canada, he was already deeply interested in Chinese culture when he decided to have further studies in Beijing.Entering the Chinese department of Peking University in 1988, Dashan felt like a duck in water. Study is always a hard job, no matter how much interest you have. Therefore, effective ways are necessary t o improvement. ―Learn for life and learn in life‖ is Dashan’s belief.As a freshman at the University of Toronto, Dashan studied the textbooks, which especially aimed on foreign Chinese learners. They did help him build a solid foundation.However, that’s far from enough to grasp the Chinese language. Starting in his third year at university, Dashan began to read original Chinese novels, Chinese newspapers and even the Selected Works (文选) of Deng Xiaoping. ―Only the material for Chinese native readers could give me a proper sense of the language,‖ he said.The language that is the daily means of communication is the principle that Dashan always keeps in his mind. To learn in daily life requires a favorable language environment, which is also necessary for improvement. Dashan admits it is hard for Chinese English learners to be brought into a good English speaking environment, but he insists, ―To listen and speak as much as possible doe s help.‖To help Chinese English learners, Dashan took part in a VCD program—―Travel with Dashan‖—to teach daily and up-to-date English in real-life situations.47. Dashan could learn Chinese very well because of his .A. teacher at Peking UniversityB. practiced skills on Chinese expressionsC. interest, method and environmentD. special humour with a Peking accent48.
