Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (5 marks)Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.In order to get information about distant planets, scientistsinvented spacecraft to travel into the solar system to see theplanets up close. These spacecraft do not carry people, and theynever return to Earth. However, while they are in space, theycan take photographs of planets that are too far away for us tostudy from Earth. One famous spacecraft that has done this ispart of the Voyager Project. This spacecraft is called Voyager I.NASA started the Voyager Project in the 1970s. During the 1960s and the 1970s, NASA sent many spacecraft into space to collect scientific information about the solar system, but none of those spacecraft carried astronauts. Two of the spacecraft that NASA built in the 1970s were called Voyager I and Voyager II. The original jobs of Voyager I and II were to get information about Jupiter and Saturn. The two spacecraft both left the Earth in 1977.Voyager I reached Jupiter in 1979 and began to take photographs. The spacecraft was able to get very close to Jupiter. By getting close to Jupiter, it could take very clear photographs of Jupiter’s rings and planets. Voyager I also took good photo graphs of Jupiter’s “Great Red Spot.” This spot is a large place on Jupiter where there is a strong storm. The Great Red Spot is so large that it could hold three planets the size of Earth inside of it! After taking pictures of Jupiter, Voyager I went to Saturn. It reached Saturn in 1980 and collected important information about Saturn’s rings.- 10 —After Voyager I finished its work on Saturn, the spacecraft still worked well. So, NASA sent Voyager I on a new job. This time it was sent out of the solar system. NASA wanted to see how far it could go.Voyager I is still working today. It is now NASA’s oldest working spacecraft. It has tr avelled more than 9.3 billion miles, making it the spacecraft that has travelled furthest from Earth. Actually, the spacecraft has now travelled much further than expected. As it travels, it continues to send new information back to Earth. It is expected that Voyager I will no longer work by the year 2020. At that time it will not have enough power to keep working. Still, we can certainly say that this spacecraft has done a great service in helping us to learn more about space.Questions 56一60Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.56.Voyager I and Voyager II are only a part of NASA’s Voyager Project started in the 1970s.57.Voyager I and Voyager II were specifically designed to carry astronauts to outer space.58.Voyager I has successfully fulfilled its mission of collecting information about Jupiter and Saturn.59.Voyager I is still in normal working condition inside the solar system.60.As expected, Voyager I will return to the Earth by the year of 2020 with morevaluable information.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.Can we trust our memories? Psychologist Elizabeth Loftus doesn’t think so. Loftus is anexpert on false memories. A false memory is a memory of something that never happened.Are people with false memories lying? Not at all, says Loftus. They really believe theirmemories. And that is why it can be difficult to know if a memory is real.61. _________________________ These people didn’t know eachother, but 36 percent of them had the same memory. What was it?They remembered hugging Bugs Bunny at Disneyland. But wait a minute. Bugs Bunny isnot a Disney character, and he was never at Disneyland. These people’s memories werefalse.62. ___________________ Loftus says it is easy to put a false memoryinto someone’s mind. How? You just talk to the person. In the Bugs Bunny experiment, Loftus talked to peoplewho had visited Disneyland as children. Then she asked them about Bugs Bunny. She asked if he had soft ears. She asked if his body was furry. Later, more than one-third falsely remembered hugging Bugs Bunny.63. ________________________ That is why Loftus used the words “furry” and “soft” in theexperiment. Those words helped people imagine the experience. They saw Bugs Bunny in their imagination. They felt his soft fur. It seemed so real. They were sure it really happened.64. ________________________ Loftus says it shows the dangers of false memory. Of course, afalse memory of Bugs Bunny is not dangerous, but imagine this situation. A man hits a woman on the head. Then he steals her car. The police ask the victim if the thief smelled of cigarettes.In fact, he did not, but after the woman hears the question, she becomes 100 percent sure that he did. She adds the smell ofcigarettes to her real memory and creates a false memory. The police thenaccuse the wrong person, a smoker. As a result, they never find the guiltyman. He’s a nonsmoker, so the police don’t even look for him.65.__ ____________________________ If they aren’tcareful, they won’t find the truth. Instead, they will find only falsememories, and the real criminals will go free.Questions 61—65Complete the article with the following sentences. There are two extrasentences that you do not need to use.A.When we remember something, we use all of our senses: sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.B.The police often create false memories when they ask crime victims questions.C.In one experiment on false memories, Loftus talked to people about their childhoods.D.Why are many of our childhood memories probably false ones?E.But what is the purpose of the Bugs Bunny experiment?F.How could a group of strangers all have the same false memory?G.That is why the police need to be very careful about how they ask questions, says Loftus.Section C (10 marks)Questions 66—70 are based on the following passage.One of the interesting things about languages is the way they change overtime. In English, everything from spelling to vocabulary has gone throughmajor changes over the years. In fact, to a modern speaker, the English of1,000 years ago looks like a foreign language!The history of English dates back around 1,500 years. At that time,groups of Europeans invaded England, bringing their language with them. Itdeveloped into Old English. Later, in 1066, England was invaded by theNormans from France. The language went through an important shift,leading to what we now call Middle English. Over the next 500 years, the language underwent further shifts, leading to Modern English. As the language has developed over time，many things about it have changed.Pronunciation is one of the most obvious areas. For example, in Old English, people said “hus” and “mus”. Now, we say “house” and “mouse”. These days, there are many differences in the way English is pronounced in the U.S., India, and elsewhere. When people live in groups separated by great distances, the pace of change can be fast.Spelling has also gone through interesting changes. For example, in Old English, one wrote “riht”. A “g” was added in Middle English, making the spelling “right”. Also, in the distant past, people did not always follow standards of spell ing. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, scholars like Noah Webster wrote dictio varies which made the spelling more consistent. However, different standards were decided on in England and the U.S. So, some differences remain—for example, “color” v s. “colour”.Vocabulary changes happen even more quickly. English has grown by borrowing words from languages such as French, Spanish, and Arabic, to name a few. This often happens with types of food—for example, “tofu”. Then there is slang which enters an d leaves the language every year! Thirty years ago, one often heard people saying “groovy”，meaning “great”. These days, you’ll rarely hear the word except on old TV shows and movies.Because English is spoken by so many people worldwide, it really is an exciting time for the language. Just as American and British versions are always changing, so are versions spoken in Canada, Singapore, and elsewhere. At the same time, an entirely new version of English is appearing on the Internet with whole new slang and writing styles. In a way, learning English is a never-ending process, even for native speakers!13Questions 66—70Answer the following questions according to the passage.66.Why does the English of 1,000 years ago seem a foreign language to modern speakers?67.What aspects are discussed to show the changes of English in history?68.When did scholars try to make English spelling more consistent?69.What are some languages that English has borrowed words from?70.Where can we see an entirely new version of English?Section D (10 marks)Questions 71——75 are based on the following passage.Wine can be made with red grapes or whitegrapes, and, especially in the case of red wines, a number ofdoctors have reported that a moderate amount of wine hascertain health benefits. This may be one of the reasons why thenumber of people drinking wine has risen over the past years.As new wine -shoppers browse the shelves of their localmarkets, they face a tough decision. Should they buy a winewith a cork or a screw top? And shoppers are not alone in theirdilemma. Wineries are also facing tough choices in the bestway to seal their products.The root of the problem lies in “cork taint”. Corktaint refers to a problem with wine that has been sealed with abad 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 tops14 -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 efforts 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.Questions 71—75 Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form wherenecessary, with only one word for each blank.The wine industry is facing a 71. _______________ . What is the bestway to seal wine bottles? Many people think that it is onlyproper for wine 72. ____________ to be sealed with corks.

Eating a healthy,raried diet will help keep you strong and fit throughout your life.On the other hand,an unhealthy diet can lead to many problems and even shorten your life.62.Your body cannot make most of these nutrients,so you have to get them from the food you eat.The exact amount you need depends on your age,your size,how8--much you are growing,whether you are a boy ora girl,and how active you are.63.But you also needenergy for things that you rarely think about,such as breathing,digestion,keeping your heartbeating,and fueling your brain.The energy infood is measured in units called calories.A sliceand a half of bread contains about100calories.Any calories that your body does not use are stored as fat.64.The most important thing is making sure you get a balanced diet.A balanced diet provides you with just the right amount of nutrients and calories.Because just one food cannot give you all the nutrients you need,the best way to make sure you get enough nutrients you need,the best way to make sure you get enough nutrients is to eat a variety of different kinds of food.No foods are“good”or“bad”in themselves.The key is to get a balance.Food are classified into five different groups,based on the nutrients they provide.These are:bread,other cereals,and potatoes;fruits and vegetables;milk and dairy foods;meat,fish and alternatives;fatty and sugary foods.65.By following these guidelines and making sure you have a good breakfast,lunch,and dinner each day,you should get a healthy,balanced diet.You can also eat two or three small snacks a day―just be sure that they are healthy ones and not“junk food”. Questions61—65Complete the article with the following sentences.There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.A.Your body uses the food you eat to help you grow,to provide you with energy,and tohelp you fight against infection and disease.B.Another important task of food is to provide your body with energy,which you need foractivities such as walking,swimming,skating,and dancing.C.In order to live,you need nutrients―nourishing substances that enable the cells ofyour body to work.D.People蒺s diet varies greatly throughout the world.E.If you eat foods from each of the first five four groups(not the fatty and sugary foods)everyday,you should have no problem staying healthy.F.A diet that gives you the right amount of nutrients and calories is a balanced diet.G.How should we get all the nutrients we need in a day?9--Section C(10marks)Questions66—70are based on the following passage.Photography is enthralling because it is both anart and a science.It is an art over which thephotographer has creative control but only to acertain extent:unlike a painter,you can onlytake photographs of what is there.If the sun isnot shining,you cannot photograph sunlight.Soyou need to find a subject.But the greatestphotographs are of subjects that most people would have walked past without noticing.The truly great photographers are those who can see, in their mind蒺s eye,the photograph that they can create through their vision,artistry and skill. Vision comes first.If you cannot see the potential,you can never be a true photographer. Artistry,by contrast,can be photographer.Artistry,by contrast,can be learned and developed; you can read a book or you take lessons.You can learn from a great practitioner.Perhaps the simplest aspect to describe is framing.The human eye has a huge field of view,stretching from horizon to horizon.The lens of a camera,by contrast,has a very restricted field of view.This is both a curse and a blessing.Try as you might,you cannot capture the sheer scale of the human perspective of the world.But you can,and must,select the image that you are attempting to capture-or rather,to create.Look through the viewfinder:learn to see the world through the lens.Understand the difference it makes when you remove the irrelevant and select only what really matters.This is artistry.Then comes skill.This is the technical part.Skill is exercised long before you even start to look for a subject:first you must select the kind and model of camera you will use.Will it have advanced features,inter-changeable lenses,a motor-wind,a build-in flash,automatic focusing? How much do you want to do manually every time you wish to take a photograph,and how much will you leave to the electronics inside?Then you must choose a make and speed of film. The actual taking of the picture requires choices about exposure and shutter speed.After taking the shot,there are more decisions about developing and printing;every decision makes an enormous difference.Experience teaches you about all of these;there is no other way to learn than to try,possibly to fail,but to learn from the experience and improve.This is what marks out the photographer from those who merely take snapshots.There is always a better photograph that could have been taken-the ultimate photograph,if you like.All photographers pursue this goal of perfection.In the process,though,they take some beautiful photographs that bring them joy thereafter.10--Questions66—70Answer the following questions according to the passage.66.What do true photographers differ from others?67.How can a photographer achieve the goal of artistry?68.What is artistry according to the writer?69.How can a photographer be skillful?70.What marks out the photographer from those ordinary ones?Section D(10marks)Questions71—75are based on the following passage.Have you heard about the great flood?Perhaps you have heard about a man named Noah who built a huge boat to escape the flood.In this legend of the great flood,water covered all the land,killing most of the people and animals on Earth.Only Noah’s immediate family,including his wife,three sons,and the sons’wives,survived the flood along with all of the animals on his boat.After the flood waters receded,the people and animals on Noah’s boat set about repopulating the Earth.This legend of Noah and his family is familiar to many people.But it is not the only legend about a great flood.Actually,many cultures have similar stories about a great flood that wiped out almost everyone on Earth.In the Jewish,Muslim,and Christian legend of the flood,Noah was warned by God that a great flood would kill every human and animal on land.God told Noah to construct the boat that would save his family and two of every animal.In a Hindu legend of the flood,a fish warned a man about the flood,and only the man was saved.Then the gods made a woman for this man, and the man and woman had many children.The Greek,Roman,and Chinese legends of the flood say only people on the highest mountain survived the flood.In Scandinavian and Celtic legends,the water of the flood was actually the blood of a giant.When the giant was killed,its body became the Earth,and its blood covered all of the land.There are also Incan,Mayan,and American Indian legends about a great flood.In each a of these legends,a few people live through the flood by climbing mountains or by constructing boats.Many people today believe the great flood is only a legend.However,other people say that the striking similarities among all of theflood legends suggest a real flood coveredthe Earth at some point long ago.In fact,some scientists speculate that the ancientflood waters are now frozen in glaciers atthe poles of the Earth.But why do thelegends disagree with each other?The floodhappened long before humans could write,11--so the story of the flood could only be passed down through generations by oral retellings.As the story was passed by words of mouth,it may have changed as various cultures learned the story.That may explain why some parts of the legends differ.Through careful examinations of the similar elements in these legends,however,certain facts about an ancient catastrophic flood may be revealed.Questions71—75Complete the summary with words from the passage,changing the form where necessary,with only one word for each blank.Part V Translation(15marks)Section A(5marks)Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.cation will lead to better life for the people;and it is through education that civilisation sustains itself.Every family wishes to have good education for its children.Knowledge gives one more opportunities in life,sustains civilisations and ensures that ethical norms are observed.To maintain sustainable growth,improve people’s lives and promote social equity are the three major goals of this government.Equity in education gives everyone a fair chance at the beginning of life and therefore constitutes an important foundation of social equity.Section B(10marks)Translate the following sentences into English by using the hints given in brackets.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.77.我不反对再听一遍你的解释。
