Language is in many ways, a window to the mind. (45)_What these language contain are all kinds of ways that we structure the world_{B/1}. Language is a way of storing the history of a people. Languages reflect a different historical contact with other groups, and, forpeople who have no written history, language can be one of the ways (46) that history can be gotten at just by looking carefully at the different layers in the language{B/1}.。

"Oh,how I wish I were poor!" he cried."I would not then regret so much leaving my kingdom and all that I own.I would not be filled with regret because I have done so little god.for my people while I had the chance."11. What do you think of the king in this story?12. What did the Chief Physician tell the king?13. How did the king prepare for his death?14. What did the king regret in the end?Passage TwoThe big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The night air was cold and street-lamps gave little light.Frank was anxious to get home and his foot-steps rang loudly on the street.When he reached the middle of the bridgehe thought he could hear someone coming near behind him.He looked back but could see no one.However,the sound continued,and Frank began walking more quickly.Then he slowed down again,thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.The short,quick steps grew louder until they seemed very near.Frank found it impossible not to turn round.As he did so,he caught sight of a human form coming towards him.After reaching the other side of the bridge.Frank stopped and pretended to look down at the water.From the corner of his eyes he could now make out the form of a man dressed in a large overcoat.A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.As the man came near,Frank turned towards himand said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly.The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was.Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way. Frank began following the stranger quietly.The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the window.A light was still on,and the man waited until it went out.When about half an hour had passed.Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him dryon to the ground at the other side.Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do.He walked quickly and silently across the street towards a telephone-box on the corner.15. What was Frank's occupation?16. What was the strange man?17. Whom would Fank telephone after he found this?Passage ThreeThe development of Jamestown in Virginiaduring the second half of the seventeenth centurywas closely related to the making and use of bricks.There are several practical reasons why bricks became important to the colon. Although the forests could initially supply sufficient wood.the process of cutting was extremely difficult.particularly because of the lack of road.Later,when the wood on the peninsula had been used up.wood had to be brought from some distance.Building stone was also in short supply.However,as earth was plentiful.it was inevitable that the colonists would turn to brickmaking.In addition to practical reasons for using brickas the principal construction material.there was also an ideological reason.Brick represented durability and permanence.The Virginia Company of London.instructed the colonists to build hospitals and new residences out of brick.In 1662,the Town Act of the Virginia Assemblyprovided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildingsand prohibited the use of wood as a construction materialHad this law ever been successfully carried out.Jamestown would have been a model city.Instead,the residents failed to follow the lay.and by 1699,Jamestown had collapsed into a pile of stonewith only three or four habitable houses.18. What were most buildings in Jamestown made of?19. Which of the following was NOT a reason for using bricks in construction?20. According to the passage,what eventually happened to Jamestown?。

By the time we 32 a fatal one, the scientists say, we'll have a way to change its course.Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear 33 But the cost wouldn't be cheap.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 34 . Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike earth onceevery 500,000 years. 35 . "If we don't take care of these big asteroids, they'll take care of us," says one scientist. "It's that simple."The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. 36 ? "The world has less to fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them," said a New York Times article.答案:Listening ComprehensionSection A1、C[解析]M: Hello, Mrs. White, what can I do for you?W: I don't know what's the matter with me? I'm always feeling tired. I'm usually worn out at the end of the day.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?2、D[解析]W: Daddy, I have decided to give up science and go to business school.M: Well, it is your choice as long as you pay your own way, but I should ware you that not everyone with a business degree will make a successful manager.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?3、B[解析]W: I'm thinking of taking five courses next semester.M: Wouldn't four be wiser?Q: What does the man mean?4、B[解析]W: You took an optional course this semester, didn't you? How is it going?M: Terrible. It seems like the more the professor talks, the less I understand.Q: How does the man feel about the course?5、C[解析]M: Oh, this cover is tom now. Must have got that way from carrying it around.W: Not to worry, with a little tape it should look like new. Here, let me look at it.Q: What will the woman probably do?6、B[解析]M: Tom's house looks nice. What did he do to it?W: He had it painted.Q: What did Tom do?7、B[解析]W: I like volleyball but not football.M: Basketball and football are my favorite sports.Q: Which sport does the woman like?8、B[解析]M: Let me see. I have printed my family name, first name, date of birth, and address. Anything else?W: No. That's all right. We'll fill in the rest of it if you'll just sign your name at the bottom.Q: What has the man been doing?9、D[解析] 9-12M: What do you plan to do for Christmas?W: No concrete plan, but I think I'll most likely go skiing in Montana and spend a few days in the mountains doing cross-country skiing.M: I heard you are very good at skiing. Believe it or not, I haven't done any skiing in my life. I wish I could ski just like you.W: Yeah, you could if you gave it a shot. You know, skiing is my love and the only reason I like it so much is because it gives me great pleasure to speed through the snow.M: My parents and I vacationed in Montana National Park when I was little and I remembered we had great time going hiking. Now I feel like going back again.W: Well, since we have two weeks' break for Christmas, you can spend a few days in Montana and I can give you lessons on skiing. That would give you some basics and hopefully you can ski like a professional in a few days.M: Ski like a professional? No way. Actually, you do have a good point. I could spend some time in Montana and head back home for Christmas. Perhaps you could spend Christmas at my place too. My parents would like to meet you.W: That would be great, since my folks will be in Jamaica for Christmas and New Year.M: Oh, I am anxious to learn how to ski.W: And you can bet I will be a very strict instructor.M: No problem. I have been known to be an excellent student during my school year.W: Well, maybe you won't be this time.M: Really? I am looking forward to it now.W: OK. Then, let's wait and see.9. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?10、C[解析]Why does the woman like skiing so much?11、A[解析]When did the man go to the Montana National Park?12、A[解析]What will the man do on the vacation?13、A[解析] 13-15W: Are you going to find a job again this summer?M: Yes, of course. Otherwise, how am I going to pay for the tuition fees in the fall?W: I am thinking of working too, but my folks insist I have to spend some time with them during the summer. You know', I haven't seen them for two years.M: That's considering you are only an eight-hour drive away from your hometown. Why haven't you been home for so long?W: It's not that I didn't want to go home but because my parents were volunteering in the charitable organization in Central America for the last couple of years.M: In that case, maybe you should visit them in the summer.W: That's true, but I didn't want to spend the whole summer staying at home. I want to make some money and pay off my tuition fees too.M: Well, you can get a loan.W: Loan? I hate the idea of borrowing. I would rather make my own money and pay it off.M: That's true. It's not uncommon for people to have high bills to pay once they've graduated.W: Yes, that's exactly what I didn't want to get myself into.M: Well, you can work part-time when you are at home.W: I was thinking about that but my parents thought I should be at home with them full-time.M: Well, I think you do have to make a decision.13. What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?14、D[解析]What did the woman's parents do in Central America?15、C[解析]Why doesn't the woman want to get a loan for tuition fees?Section B16、A[解析] 16-18We use all sorts of services without thinking how we get them. But such services cost money. We pay for them through taxes. What would happen if everyone in a city stopped paying taxes. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property.The chief duty of every government is to protect people and property. More than three-fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teaching and training our citizens. Billions of dollars each year is spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used topay teachers and other public officials.Years ago, the government made money from the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the cost of government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural resources. They could be sold, but we want to save them for future years. So we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.16. What is the chief duty of every government?17、C[解析]How did the government raise money in the past?18、B[解析]What is the passage mainly about?19、B[解析] 19-21In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only two percent of the Japanese respondents listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half of the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities.19. Why are Americans turning to Japan in terms of preschool education?20、D[解析]What is the focus of Japanese preschool education?21、D[解析]Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?22、B[解析] 22-25Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Center for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to lose pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.In rejecting exercise, some people may be too discouraged by calorie-expenditure charts; for example, one would have to quickly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry. Even exercise professionals concede Americans have a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been taking little exercise and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could bum an extra 100 calories daily. In a year' s time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.22. What do we learn about the average American from the passage?23、B[解析]Why do some people reject exercise in their efforts to lose weight?24、C[解析]What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center's study?25、A[解析]Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?Section C26、crash[解析] 26-36Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids, i.e. minor planets, one might (26) crash into earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger (27) versions of the meteoroids that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from earth and don't (28) threaten us. But there are also (29) thousands whose orbits put them on a (30) collision course with earth.Buy ＄50 million worth of new (31) telescopes fight now. Then spend ＄10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we (32) spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we'll have a way to change its course.Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear (33) weapons. But the cost wouldn't be cheap.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: (34) How likely the event is; and how bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike earth once every 500,000 years. (35) Sounds pretty rare--but if one did fail, it would be the end of the world.

Yes, I saw it.Q: What are the two persons talking about?Amy Johnson was a very ambitious and energetic person. She studied at a university and later took a job as a typist. Although she was enthusiastic and did her best, she made many mistakes and was poorly paid. She didn't want to be a typist anyway-she dreamed of becoming a pilot!Amy moved to London, borrowed some money, and learned to fly. Nobody, however, wanted to hire a female pilot. She decided to fly alone to Australia to prove that she could fly as well as any man. Her parents lent her money to buy an airplane.Amy set off on May 5,1930. Her route took her over Vienna, Constantinople, and Baghdad. She was caught in a sandstorm and had to make an emergency landing in the desert. But she landed in India six days later. She had broken the record to India by two days. After experiencing some more hardship, she finally reached Australia. Amy had proven that she could fly-and that a woman could do most anything she really put her mind to.第11题：对旳答案是A,.录音：Why did Amy Johnson quit her job as a typist?第12题：对旳答案是B,.录音：Why did she decide to fly alone to Australia?录音：To what place did she break the record by two days?I never knew there was so much to know about marriage customs. I had heard of rich men and their many wives but somehow I guess I never really believed that it really happened. I always thought that marriage was a one-woman, one-man arrangement. Any other arrangement seemed to me to be outside the law. Well, the man-woman relationship is what happens here and now. But there was a time when a man had more than one woman in his household. This kind of marriage is called polygamy, P-o-1-y-g-a-m-y, polygamy.More surprising was another form of marriage called polyandry, p-o-1-y-a-n-d-r-y, polyandry. A woman could have more than one husband in such an arrangement. Mostoften , however, a woman became the wife of several brothers. While she may have initially married one brother, usually the oldest, she frequently ended up as wife to any other brothers who happened to be living in the home.第14题：对旳答案是D,.录音：What kind of marriage is polygamy?第15题：对旳答案是B,.录音：In the speaker's hometown what kind of marriage exists?录音：What is the main idea of this passage?You don't have to be a VIP(very important person)to enter the White House and perhaps see the President. Five of the 132 rooms are open to the public.George Washington died before its completion and remains the only President not to have lived in the White House. His successor, John Adams, moved in with his wife in November 1800. Thomas Jefferson, the third President, joked that the President's House was big enough for two Emperors, one Pope and the Grand Lama.The British burned the White House in 1841 but an unusual thunderstorm put out the flames and saved the shell of sandstone walls.Gas lighting was installed in 1848, the first elevator in 1882 and electricity in 1890. The President's famous Oval Office was built in 1909.In 1948 the floors shook in President Truman's second floor study and the ceiling plaster sank in the East Room. After the building was strengthened with concrete foundations and steel supports, the consulting engineer declared ' The outer walls, which have stood for more than a century, will endure for centuries more.' 第17题：对旳答案是D,.录音：Who can enter the White House?第18题：对旳答案是C,.录音：Who was the first president who lived in White House? 第19题：对旳答案是C,录音：Was the White House burned completely in 1814?第20题：对旳答案是B,.录音：How long has the White House stood there?。

Anyway, it’s just wonderful to have finished the exam, isn’t it?W: Yeah, to sleep in every morning. What about you?M: Well I’ve got a lot to do before I leave for (离开这里前往) Chicago. I’ve got a lot of things I can’t possibly take back with me and I don’t know what to do with them. I am wondering if I can sell them to someone before going back to Chicago.

What I really want to get rid of is the furniture, the fridge and other kitchen stuff that I bought from the previous tenant (房客). Oh, there are some clothes and books as well.W: I see. Well there are several alternatives. First of all, you could put up notices （启事）around the university about the books– you know on the notice boards in the student union building, and anywhere the second and the third year students will see them.

Since thebeginning of the 20th century, glaciers (冰河) have been melting very rapidly. Secondly, rising temperatures have been causing the snowline to retreat on mountains all over the world.As a result of this, vegetation(植物) has also been changing. In Canada, the agricultural crop line has shifted 50 to 100 miles northward. In the same way some cool climate trees like birches (桦树) and spruce(针纵树)dying over large areas of Eastern Canada.The distribution(分布) of wildlife (野生动物) has also been affected, with many European animals moving northward into Scandinavia. Since 1918, 25 new species of birds have moved their nests to the north.Finally, the sea has been rising at a rapidly increasing rate largely due, as was mentioned above, to the melting of glaciers. In the last 18 years it has risen by about 6 inches, which is about four times the average rate of rise over the last 9000 years.16. How was the climate changed recent years?17.

Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school (中学), another name for second school is high school.Most children go to public elementary and secondary schools (公办小学和公办中学). The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly for their children’s education be cause tax money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private school, his parents pay the school for the child’s education. Today about half of the high school graduates (毕业生) go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the government. A student at a state university(州立大学) does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are very expensive, however. Almost half of the college students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student’s family is not rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses (开支).19. How old are most American students when they graduate from secondary school?20.
