Through the windows he saw a truck sail over the side of the bridge and fall into the water.Brill shouted to his mother to call for an ambulance(救护车). Before she could ask why, he was running out the door.Without hesitating, he dived into the cold river and swam to the truck. He went under and tried to open the driver‟s door, but it couldn‟t move. He surfaced for air and again went under, this time he got the back door open. Water filled the truck, and it sank completely.On his third dive, Todd pulled 19-year-old Paulette Whitmer to the river bank. Todd had to shake her to get her to say if there was anyone else in the truck. Yes, her mother.Sheila Whitmer, 45, had been trying to teach her daughter to drive the truck when Paulette ran into a sign near the bridge. Instead of stopping the truck, she had panicked(惊慌), and lost control.Again Todd swam the 30 feet and began diving. He swam to the passenger-side door, which he got open after what seemed a lifetime. Todd pulled the unconscious Sheila, whose face was bloody and bruised(瘀伤), to the riverside.Both women, who were being treated at a hospital, would have died if it had not been for Brill‟s quick response.33. When Todd was talking to his mother, he saw through the windows a truck_____A. racing by the riversideB. run into a sign near the bridge.C. floating on the waterD. drop into the river34. After Paulette Whitmer was pulled out of water,_______A. she asked Todd to rescue her mother.B. she was shaking with coldC. her mother was still in the truckD. her mother said thanks to Todd.35. It seemed a long time for Todd to open the passenger-side door on his_____.A. fourth diveB. third diveC. second diveD. first dive36. What caused the accident?A. Paulette Whitmer got panicked.B. There was a sign near the bridge.C. Sheila lost control of the truck.D. The truck couldn‟t function properly.37. From the passage, we know that the rescue was _____A. hesitantB. timelyC. well-plannedD. poorly carried outPassage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.“Throw it away? There is no away,” scientists warn us so. What that means, of course, is that aswe produce more and more waste, safe places to deposit it are becoming fewer and fewer.An important change in responding to the problems of waster and its disposal(处理)in modern society is the development of the techniques for recycling materials that have been thrown away.Moreover, oil for plastics, trees for paper, and coal and oil to make heat for glass and metal production are also becoming harder to find and more expensive. One solution that can help solve problems of both supply and disposal is recycling, or using the same material more than once.Some government are requiring more recycling. Japan already recycles about 50 percent of its household trash. The German government now has a very strict law requiring that most plastics and metal be recycled. Under the new law, automobile manufacturers must buy a car be recycled-metals, plastics, glass, and so on. This law has made automobile manufacturers think more carefully about the kinds of materials that go into automobiles and how those materials are used.Recycling is a new way of looking at our use of the earth‟s resources.38. According to scientists, we will _____.A. not be able to find places for our waste.B. have fewer safe places for our waste.C. produce more waste to be recycled.D. find more safe places to place our waste.39. To solve the problems of both supply and disposal, we should _____.A. raise the prices of natural materialsB. reduce glass and metal productions.C. produce more and more materials.D. reuse the materials that have been used.40. In Germany, if your car is no longer useful, you _____.A. can send it to the government for recyclingB. must separate it into metals, plastics, glass, etc.C. can‟t buy a new car unless you recycle your old one.D. can sell it back to the automobile manufacturer.41. The purpose of the new law in Germany is _____.A. to make manufacturers use less materials.B. to force manufacturers to reuse materials.C. to urge manufacturers to produce fewer cars.D. to make manufacturers separate used cars.42. Which of the following is the main point of the passage?A. It is important for us to develop techniques for recycling materials.B. The earth‟s resources ar e becoming more and more expensive.C. Recycling is a solution to the problems of supply and disposal.D. It is necessary to make laws against throwing away used materials.Passage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.When I was at school, our teacher told the class “You are what you eat.” My friends and I would laugh and call each other …hamburger‟ and …biscuits‟. Our teacher was trying to show us the importance of eating the right food to stay healthy.Food influences our health. W e‟ve all heard advice such as “Milk can make you sleepy. To stop feeling sleepy you should eat peanuts, “or” Garlic(大蒜) helps you not to catch a cold.” Everyone has their own advice to give, but some of these pieces of advice seem not to agree with each other.But there does seem to be proof that we are what we eat. A few decades ago there were big campaigns to make British people healthier. We threw out our chip(薯条)pan which we had used until then to make chips every day for dinner. We replaced our chips with boiled potatoes. At first I felt like my potatoes had no taste at all. But after a while I started to prefer healthier food because I felt stronger and I didn‟t get sick so often.Japanese people are known to be the healthiest in the world because of the food they eat. The healthiest Japanese people eat rice and fish and vegetables every day. They drink green tea or water when they‟re thirsty. The traditional Japanese food is famous for helping you to live a longer and healthier life.When you know the effects of different types of food, you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become.43. When the teacher told the students “You are what you eat,” she was_____A. trying to make them laugh with this remark.B. explaining the importance of eating healthy foodC. telling them to eat hamburgers and biscuits.D. saying that they should eat what they like.44. Which of the following is NOT true according to the second paragraph?A. People have the same advice on food.B. Everyone has advice to give on food and health.C. Milk and peanuts have some effect on sleep.D. Garlic may help people stay away from cold.45. “We threw out our chip pan” in the third paragraph probably means that____A. we stopped eating fried potato chipsB. the chip pan had become uselessC. we wanted to make the kitchen cleanD. the use of chip pan was prohibited46. Why did the author switch from potato chips to boiled potatoes?A. Potato chips were no longer availableB. She had become sick of potato chipsC. Boiled potatoes were better for her health.D. She liked the taste of boiled potatoes.47. According to the passage, the favorite foods of the Japanese people include____A. biscuits, vegetables and riceB. rice, peanuts and fishC. vegetables, fish and chipsD. fish, rice and vegetablesPassage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.VMI, an international financial services company based in Spain, is holding its own first international conference later this year, and the budget is $2.000 per participant. Since this is an important event, the Marketing Department must plan it carefully. The place they choose must have: An international airport not far from the hotelOne large conference roomFour or more seminar(讨论会)roomsA choice of activities outside the main conference programNow they have four hotels to choose from.

Buses offer the added advantage of being able to see various areas of Manhattan While you ride. How Much Does the Bus Cost? Fare is $2.25 and can be paid with a MetroCard or coins (no dollar bills, no pennies).A free transfer to another bus or the subway within 2 hours is available if you paid with a MetroCard. If you pay cash you can ask for a transfer, but it is only good for transferring to another bus (not to the subway) within 2 hours.Getting On and Off the Bus You must wait for buses at designated (指定的) bus stops. As you see the bus approaching your stops, you can put your arm out to indicate to the driver that you want to board the bus.Enter the bus through the front doors and pay your fare. Take a seat or move toward the back of the bus to make room for other people boarding the bus. To request a stop: Pull the cord or press the black band near the windows. A “Stop Requested” light wi ll be on immediately at the front of the bus.36.

Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are several furniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market.One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market – new home buyers – who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing foot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event (抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest.In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier of your customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in-store financing, or drop the interest rate on your company’s credit terms, Con sider lowering your prices and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.41. Why is it a challenge for small businesses to sell furniture to the public?A) The style of furniture changes fast.B) Their furniture is often old-fashioned.C) People buy furniture only occasionally.D) The public’s taste for furniture is different.42.

To keep the Sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut (宇航员) sleeps differently: some sleep upside down, some sideways, and some right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float (漂浮) up to the flight deck (驾驶舱).

For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage.I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail holiday. My body couldn't take any more punishment. My mind couldn't deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages.“Never again,” I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the next. All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the same once you've learnt to sleep in the corridor of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep.Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand.Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty special. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France. But the idea of non-stop travel proved too tempting, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing.We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except the most immediately available sights. This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station. We were just there to get by, and to have a good time doing so. In this we were no different from most of the other Inter-Railers with whom we shared corridor floors, food and water, money and music.The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name. It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time.Questions:51. At the end of his first trip, the writer said “Never again” because_______.A. he felt illB. he disliked trainsC. he was tired from the journeyD. he had lost money52. What does the writer mean by “this way of looking at life” in Paragraph 3?A. Worrying about your clothes.B. Throwing unwanted things away.C. Behaving in an anti-social way.D. Looking after your possessions.53. Why did the writer originally buy an Inter-Rail ticket?A. To get to one place cheaply.B. To meet other young people.C. To see a lot of famous places.D. To go on a tour of Europe.54. What the writer liked about traveling without his parents was that _______ .A. he could see more interesting placesB. he could spend more time sightseeingC. he could stay away from home longerD. he could make his own decisions55. What does “it” in Line 3, Paragraph 6, refer to?A. A name.B. The city.C. The train.D. The station.Section B Yes / No / Not given (5 points)Directions: In this part, you will have 5 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet. For questions 56 - 60, markY (for Yes) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for No) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for Not Given) if the information is not given in the passage.Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.The Outdoor CentreOpening timesWater sports: 10 am - 6 pmPlay Park: 10 am - 5.30 pmEntrance / Car park feesLow season: Weekdays £2.00 per car Weekends £3.00 per carHigh season: 23 July - 11 September Weekdays and weekends £3.00 per carFees are for cars with four people.

Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 61-65 are based on the following passage.Going to the beach is many Americans' favorite activity. In the area near New York City, nine million people used to go to the beach every summer. They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater.But those days are long gone.In the summer of 1988,the government was forced to shut down beaches all over America.Many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage from hospitals was found in the water.The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood,and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood.Where the medical garbage came from is anybody's guess.At some beaches,sewage (生活污水)was found in the water.Americans were shocked by this state of affairs.They had long taken for granted that oceans were big enough to stay clean,even if garbage and sewage were dumped into them.People didn't think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight.Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful at first glance.San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that's full of chemicals.Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin.In many parts of America,people are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution.Most American cities put their garbage in the ground.But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean.Boston Harbor is so polluted that scientists say it won't recover until the next century at best.The city of Boston puts its sewage in the water.The government has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant.Cleaning up oceans won't be easy,but people can no longer ignore this challenge.Questions:61. Most Americans used to go to the beach because of __________.62. Ocean waters around America have become polluted by __________.63. Some polluted waters are still beautiful because pollutants such as chemicals are hard to __________.64. If fish live in polluted waters people should not __________.65. The author of this passage seems to suggest that people should pay more attention to__________.Passage TwoQuestions 66-70 are based on the following passage.There are cockroaches (蟑螂) everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat.It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They “see” with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety.Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and theAmerican. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months!Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital.Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared.Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches “learn” how to deal with it. Elec tricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or “learn” how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us.It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here.Questions:66. Cockroaches do not live in places where it is __________.67. Cockroaches know that someone or something is near because__________.68. Cockroaches can __________ because they carry bacteria.69. Paragraph 6 says that it is very difficult to __________.70. The passage is mainly about __________.Section D Summary (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage.Cosmetics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup. Some of these cosmetics were used to improve their appearance. Others were used to protect their skin. But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous, or even deadly!Some of the first skin care treatments started in Egypt. In fact, Cleopatra was known to use them. She thought a bath in milk and honey left her skin silky smooth. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptian and other ancient cultures also used various powders on their skin for beauty. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Romans put white chalk on theirfaces. And Indians painted red henna on their bodies.Most of the ancient cosmetic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors now know lead is like a poison for our bodies.Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. Belladonna is a very poisonous plant. The poison in the plant affects the nerves in the body. By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a woman's pupils would become very large. People thought this made her more beautiful. Actually, this is why the plant is called belladonna. In Italian, belladonna me ans “beautiful woman.”When Elizabeth I was queen of England in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also used by women there. Women were using rouge made with mercury. They were also using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur. The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen's hair. Over time, the dye made people's hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs.Summary:Although people have used cosmetics throughout history, not all of them have been safe. In fact, some of them have been quite (71)__________ to people. For example, long ago in Italian (72)__________, people thought women with big pupils were beautiful. Therefore, in the (73)__________ of beauty, women began to put (74)__________ of belladonna in their eyes to make their pupils larger.

Space TourismMake your reservations now. The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration (NASA) ,Russia made American businessman Dennis Tito the world‟s first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS.Lance Bass of …N Sync was supposed to be the third to mak e the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2002, due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the next two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.Space AccommodationsRussi a ‟s Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001 ,the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001, Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia‟s cosmonaut ( 宇航员) training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC‟s space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space:l Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure ( 基础结构)” that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks (to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth‟s.l According to their vision statement. Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousand of people in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and board dozen of different vehicles...”l Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance, if the International Space Station is used as a tour ist attraction, guests won‟t find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. However, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at a hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions, of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?The Most Expensive VacationWill space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it, going to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take. Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars. Currently, the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which makes them expensive to launch. One pound of payload ( 有效载重) costs about $10,000 to put into Earth‟s orbit.NASA and Lockheed Martin are currently developing a single-stage-to-orbit launch space plane, called the VentureStar, that could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch. If the VentureStar takes off, the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millions.In 1998, a joint report from NASA and the Space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later. The report concluded that a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passengers flying into space each year.While still leaving out many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.Since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, “Isn‟t that great—when do I get to go?” Well, our chance might be closer than ever. Within the next 20 years, space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New York and Los Angles.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡 1 上作答。

There were many of these golden mountains of dust covering that part of the yard right down to the blue lake. That afternoon, boredwith having nothing else to do, all the fellows followed Michael up the ladder to the roof of the old building and they sat with their legs hanging over the edge looking out across the lake. Suddenly Michael said, “I dare you to jump down,” and without thinking about it, he pushed himself off the roof and fell on the sawdust where he lay rolling around and laughing. “I dare you all!” he shouted. “You're all cowards,” he said, encouraging them to follow him. Still laughing, he watched them looking down from the roof, white-faced and hesitant, and then one by one they jumped and got up grinning with relief.In the hot afternoon sunlight they all lay on the sawdust pile telling jokes till at last one of the fellows said, “Come on up on the old roof again and jump down.” There wasn't much enthusiasm among them, but they all went up to the roof again and began to jump off in a determined, desperate way till only Michael was left and the others were all down below grinning up at him calling, “Come on, Mike. What's the matter with you?” Michael wanted to jump down there and be with them, but he remained on the edge of the roof, wetting his lips, with a silly grin on his face, wondering why it had not seemed such a long drop the first time. For a while they thought he was only fooling them, but then they saw him clenching his fists tight. He was trying to count to ten and then jump, and when that failed, he tried to take a long breath and close his eyes. In a while the fellows began to laugh at him; they were tired of waiting and it was getting on to dinnertime. “Come on, you're a coward, do you think we're going to sit here all night?” they began to shout, and when he did not move they began to get up and walk away, still shouting. “Who did this in the first place? What's the matter with you all?” he called.But for a long time he remained on the edge of the roof, staring unhappily and steadily at the ground. He remained all alone for nearly an hour while the sun, like a great orange ball getting bigger and bigger, rolled slowly over the grey line beyond the lake. His clothes were wet from nervous sweating. At last he closed his eyes, slipped off the roof, fell heavily on the pile of sawdust and lay there a long time. There were no sounds in the yard, the workmen had gone home. As he lay there he wondered why he had been unable to jump; and then he got up slowly and walked home feeling deeply ashamed and wanting to avoid everybody.Questions:51. Why did the boys first decide to climb onto the roof of the building?A. To test their courage.B. To pass the time.C. To keep out of the way of the workmen.D. To get a better view of the woods.52.

They thought he was joking.55.

Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 61-65 are based on the following passage.There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of this type of education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many studentsit is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are none. Even a few rules will help this kind of student. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did not have to.Questions:61. One good thing about open education is that it __________.62. Open education may be a good idea for the students who __________.63. Why will some students do little in an open classroom?64. What do many teachers think of open education?65. Give this passage an appropriate title.Passage TwoQuestions 66-70 are based on the following passage.“My advisor wants me to call him by his first name,” many foreign graduate st udents in the U.S. have said, “But I just can't do it. It doesn't seem right. I have to show my respect.”On the other hand, professors have said of foreign students, “They keep bowing and saying ‘Yes, sir, yes, sir.' I can hardly stand it. I wish they'd stop being so polite and just say what they have on their minds.”Differing ideas about formality and respect frequently complicate relationships between American professors and students from abroad, especially Asian students (especially female Asian students). The professors generally prefer informal relationships (sometimes, but not always, including the use of first names rather than titles and family names) and little acknowledgment of status differences. Many foreign students are used to more formal relationships and sometimes have difficulty bringing themselves to speak to their teachers at all, let alone addressing them by their given names.The characteristics of student-teacher relationships on American campuses vary somewhat, depending on whether the students involved are undergraduate or graduate students, and depending on the size and nature of the college. Graduate students typically have more intense relationships with their professors than undergraduates do; at smaller colleges student-teacher relationships are typically even less formal than they are at larger institutions.To say that student-teacher relationships are informal is not to say that there are no recognized status differences between the two groups. There are. But native American students may show their respect mainly inthe vocabulary and tone of voice they use when speaking to teachers. Much of their behavior around teachers may seem to foreign students to be disrespectful. For example, American students will eat in class, read newspapers, and assume quite informal postures. Approve of such behavior, but they tolerate it. Students, after all, are individuals who have the right to decide for themselves how they are going to behave.Questions:66. When addressed by their given names, American professors think it __________.67. Many foreign students' politeness makes their American professors __________.68. What are the relationships like between students and professors at big American universities compared with smaller ones?69. What do you understand by the term “status differences” (Para.5)?70. What do American teachers think of their students' behavior in class?Section D Summary (10 points)Directions:In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage.Wine can be made with red grapes or white grapes, and, especially in the case of red wines, a number of medical researchers have reported that a moderate amount of wine has certain health benefits. This may be oneof the reasons why the number of people drinking wine has risen over the past years. As new wine shoppers browse the shelves of their local markets, they face a tough decision. Should they buy a wine with a cork or a screw top? And shoppers are not alone in their dilemma. Wineries are also facing tough choices in the best way to seal their products.The root of the problem lies in “cork taint.” Cork taint refers to a problem with wine that has been sealed with a bad cork. Traditionally, all corks are made from a special oak tree that grows around the Mediterranean. In the process of making the corks and sealing wine bottles, a certain type of mold may start to grow on some corks. Over time, this mold can produce a chemical that makes the wine inside the bottle taste musty. In fact, the human tongue is so sensitive to this particular compound that people can taste it even diluted up to six parts per trillion!How big is the problem of cork taint? Some experts from the wine industry claim cork taint affects one out of every ten bottles of wine. And as one spokesperson for an American winery says, “No other packaging industry in the world would put up with that kind of failure rate.”Some wine makers see a possible solution to the problem of cork taint through adopting the tried and true method of sealing bottles with screw tops. However, many wineries are still playing it safe and sticking to corks for two reasons. First, there is the old belief among cork users that small amounts of oxygen are able to penetrate corks. This oxygen, they say, is necessary for the proper aging of fine wines, especially those aged 10 years or more. Screw tops do not allow for any oxygen to get into the bottles after they are sealed.Another problem arises from the image screw tops have with the public. In most people's minds, screw tops are only found on cheap, low-quality wines. It will take a lot of effort from wineries to re-educate the public if they want to change the image of screw tops. In addition, there is the problem of losing the romantic, elegant mood produced by the ceremonial popping of the cork. Consumers don't seem to feel the same thrill when unscrewing a top.Summary:The wine industry is facing a dilemma. What is the best way to(71)__________ wine bottles? Many people think that it is only(72)__________ for wine bottles to be sealed with corks. They think that oxygen needs to be able to penetrate the cork. Other experts, however, suggest that wineries change to (73)__________. Using corks can lead to cork taint, a bad taste in the wine caused by (74)__________. However, it is unlikely that the public will accept this solution. They will most likely (75)__________ buying wine with corks for the romantic image.Part VI Cloze (10 minutes, 15 points)Directions: There are 15 blanks in the passage.

During the day, when we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we’ve chosen to sleep.On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft’s computers call us on the radio.On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit (轨道) the Sun “rises”and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes, then it “sets”as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the Sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space.
