Read the passages and then mark the best answer to each question on your answer sheet.TEXT AThree hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or letter, and circulated in taverns and coffee houses in the form of pamphlets and newsletters. “The coffee houses particularly are very roomy for a free conversation, and for reading at an easier rate a ll manner of printed news,” noted one observer. Everything changed in 1833 when the first mass-audience newspaper, The New York Sun, pioneered the use of advertising to reduce the cost of news, thus giving advertisers access to a wider audience. The penny press, followed by radio and television, turned news from a two-way conversation into a one-way broadcast, with a relatively small number of firms controlling the media.Now, the news industry is returning to something closer to the coffee house. The internet is making news more participatory, social and diverse, reviving the distinctive characteristic of the era before the mass media. That will have profound effects on society and politics. In much of the world, the mass media are flourishing. Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009. But those global figures mask a sharp decline in readership in rich countries.Over the past decade, throughout the Western world, people have been giving up newspapers and TV news and keeping up with events in profoundly different ways. Most strikingly, ordinary people are increasingly involved in compiling, sharing, filtering, discussing and distributing news. Twitter lets people anywhere report what they are seeing. Classified documents are published in their thousands online. Mobile-phone footage of Arab uprisings and American tornadoes is posted on social-networking sites and shown on television newscasts. Social-networking sites help people find, discuss and share news with their friends.And it is not just readers who are challenging the media elite. Technology firms including Google, Facebook and Twitter have become important conduits of news. Celebrities and world leaders publish updates directly via social networks; many countries now make raw data available through “open government” initiatives. The internet lets people read newspapers or watch television channels from around the world. The web has allowed new providers of news, from individual bloggers to sites, to rise to prominence in a very short space of time. And it has madepossible entirely new approaches to journalism, such as that practiced by WikiLeaks, which provides an anonymous way for whistleblowers to publish documents. The news agenda is no longer controlled by a few press barons and state outlets.In principle, every liberal should celebrate this. A more participatory and social news environment, with a remarkable diversity and range of news sources, is a good thing. The transformation of the news business is unstoppable, and attempts to reverse it are doomed to failure. As producers of new journalism, individuals can be scrupulous with facts and transparent with their sources. As consumers, they can be general in their tastes and demanding in their standards. And although this transformation does raise concerns, there is much to celebrate in the noisy, diverse, vociferous, argumentative and stridently alive environment of the news business in the ages of the internet. The coffee house is back. Enjoy it.11.According to the passage, what initiated the transformation of coffee-house news tomass-media news?A.The emergence of big mass media firms.B.The popularity of radio and television.C.The appearance of advertising in newspapers.D.The increasing numbers of newspaper readers.12.Which of the following statements best supports “Now, the news industry is returning tosomething closer to the coffee house”?A.Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009.B.People in the Western world are giving up newspapers and TV news.C.Classified documents are published in their thousands online.D.More people are involved in finding, discussing and distributing news.13.According to the passage, which is NOT a role played by information technology?A.Challenging the traditional media.B.Planning the return to coffee-house news.C.Providing people with access to classified files.D.Giving ordinary people the chance to provide news.14.The author’s tone in the last paragraph towards new journalism is _________.A.optimistic and cautiousB.supportive and skepticalC.doubtful and reservedD.ambiguous and cautious15.In “The coffee house is back”, coffee house best symbolizes _________.A.the changing characteristics of news audienceB.the more diversified means of news distributionC.the participatory nature of newsD.the more varied sources of newsTEXT BParis is like pornography. You respond even if you don’t want to. You turn a corner and see a vista, and your imagination bolts away. Suddenly you are thinking about what it would be like tolive in Paris, and then you think about all the lives you have not lived. Sometimes, though, when you are lucky, you only think about how many pleasures the day ahead holds. Then, you feel privileged.The lobby of the hotel is decorated in red and gold. It gives off a whiff of 19th. century decadence. Probably as much as any hotel in Paris, this hotel is sexy. I was standing facing the revolving doors and the driveway beyond. A car with a woman in the back seat — a woman in a short skirt and black — leather jacket — pulled up before the hotel door. She swung off and she was wearing high heels. Normally, my mind would have leaped and imagined a story for this woman. Now it didn’t I stood there and told myself. Cheer up. You’re in Paris.In many ways, Paris is best visited in winter. The tourist crowds are at a minimum, and one is not being jammed off the narrow sidewalks along the Rue Dauphine. More than this. Paris is like many other European cities in that the season of blockbuster cultural events tends to begin in mid-to late fall and so, by the time of winter, most of the cultural treasures of the city are laid out to be admired.The other great reason why Paris in winter is so much better than Paris in spring and fall is that after the end of the August holidays and the return of chic Parisian women to their city, the restaurant-opening season truly begins hopping. By winter, many of the new restaurants have worked out their kinks(不足；困难) and, once the hype has died down, it is possible to see which restaurants are actually good and which are merely noisy and crowded.Most people are about as happy as they set their mind to being, Lincoln said. In Paris it doesn’t take much to be happy. Outside the hotel, the sky was pale and felt very high up. I walked the few blocks to the Seine and began running along the blue-green river toward the Eiffel Tower. The tower in the distance was black, and felt strange and beautiful the way that many things built for the joy of building do. As I ran toward it, because of its lattice structure, the tower seemed obviously delicate. Seeing it, I felt a sense of protectiveness.I think it was this moment of protectiveness that marked the change in my mood and my slowly becoming thrilled with being in Paris.During winter evenings, Paris’s streetlamps have a halo and resemble dandelions. In winter, when one leaves the Paris street and enters a cafe or restaurant, the light and temperature change suddenly and dramatically, there is the sense of having discovered something secret. In winter, because the days are short, there is an urgency to the choices one makes. There is the sense that life is short and so let us decide on what matters.16. According to the passage, once in Paris one might experience all the following feelings EXCEPT _________.A.regretB.condescensionC.expectationD.impulse17.Winter is the best season to visit Paris. Which of the following does NOT support thisstatement?A.Fashionable Parisian women return to Paris.B.More entertainment activities are staged.C.There are more good restaurants to choose from.D.There are fewer tourists in Paris.18.“Most people are about as happy as they set their mind to being.” This statement means thatmost people _________.A.expect to be happyB.hope to be as happy as othersC.would be happier if they wantedD.can be happy if they want19.In the eyes of the author, winter in Paris is significant because of _________.A.the atmosphere of its eveningsB.its implications for lifeC.the contrast it bringsD.the discovery one makes20.At the end of the passage, the author found himself in a mood of _________.A.excitementB.thoughtfulnessC.lonelinessD.joyfulnessTEXT CIf you want to know why Denmark is the world’s leader in wind power, start with a three-hour car trip from the capital Copenhagen — mind the bicyclists — to the small town of Lem on the far west coast of Jutland. You’ll feel it as you cross the 6.8 km-long Great Belt Bridge: Denmark’s bountiful wind, so fierce even on a calm summer’s day that it threatens to shove your car into the waves below. But wind itself is only part of the reason. In Lem, workers in factories the size of aircraft hangars build the wind turbines sold by Vestas, the Danish company that has emerged as the industry’s top manufacturer around the globe. The work is both gross and fine; employees weld together massive curved sheets of steel to make central shafts as tall as a 14-story building, and assemble engine housings (机器外罩) that hold some 18, 000 separate parts. Most impressive are the turbine’s blades, which scoop the wind with each sweeping revolution. As smooth as an Olympic swimsuit and honed to aerodynamic perfection, each blade weighs in at 7,000 kg, and they’re what help make Vestas’ turbines the best in the world. “The blade is where the secret is,” says Erik Therkelsen, a Vestas executive. “If we can make a turbine, it’s sold.”But technology, like the wind itself, is just one more part of the reason for Denmark’s dominance. In the end, it happened because Denmark had the political and public will to decide that it wanted to be a leader — and to follow through. Beginning in 1979, the government began a determined programme of subsidies and loan guarantees to build up its wind industry. Copenhagen covered 30% of investment costs, and guaranteed loans for large turbine exporters such as Vestas. It also mandated that utilities purchase wind energy at a preferential price — thus guaranteeing investors a customer base. Energy taxes were channeled into research centres, where engineers crafted designs that would eventually produce cutting-edge giants like Vestas’ 3-magawatt (MW) V90 turbine.As a result, wind turbines now dot Denmark. The country gets more than 19% of its electricity from the breeze (Spain and Portugal, the next highest countries, get about 10%) andDanish companies control one-third of the global wind market, earning billions in exports and creating a national champion from scratch. “They were out early in driving renewables, and that gave them the chance to be a technology leader and a job-creation leader,” says Jake Schmidt, international climate policy director for the New York City-based Natural Resources Defense Council. “They have always been one or two steps ahead of others.”The challenge now for Denmark is to help the rest of the world catch up. Beyond wind, the country (pop.5.5 million) is a world leader in energy efficiency, getting more GDP per watt than any other member of the E.U. Carbon emissions are down 13.3% from 1990 levels and total energy consumption has barely moved, even as Denmark’s economy continued to grow at a healthy clip. With Copenhagen set to host all-important U.N. climate change talks in December —where the world hopes for a successor to the expiring Kyoto Protocol — and the global recession beginning to hit environmental plans in capitals everywhere, Denmark’s example couldn’t b e more timely.“We’ll try to make Denmark a showroom,” says Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. “You can reduce energy use and carbon emissions, and achieve economic growth.”It’s tempting to assume that Denmark is innately green, with the kind of Scand inavian good conscience that has made it such a pleasant global citizen since, oh, the whole Viking thing. But the country’s policies were actually born from a different emotion, one now in common currency: fear. When the 1973 oil crisis hit, 90% of Denmar k’s energy came from petroleum, almost all of it imported. Buffeted by the same supply shocks that hit the rest of the developed world, Denmark launched a rapid drive for energy conservation, to the point of introducing car-free Sundays and asking businesses to switch off lights during closing hours. Eventually the Mideast oil started flowing again, and the Danes themselves began enjoying the benefits of the petroleum and natural gas in their slice of the North Sea. It was enough to make them more than self-sufficient. But unlike most other countries, Denmark never forgot the lessons of l973, and kept driving for greater energy efficiency and a more diversified energy supply. The Danish parliament raised taxes on energy to encourage conservation and established subsidies and standards to support more efficient buildings. “It all started out without any regard for the climate or the environment,” says Svend Auken, the former head of Denmark’s opposition Social Democrat Party and the architect of the country’s environmental policies in the 1990s. “But today there’s a consensus that we need to build renewable power.”To the rest of the world, Denmark has the power of its example, showing that you can stay rich and grow green at the same time. “Denmark has proven that acting on climate can be a positive experience, not just painful,” says NRDC’s Schmidt. The real pain could come from failing to follow in their footsteps.21.Which of the following is NOT cited as a main reason for Denmark’s world leadership inwind power?A.Technology.B.Wind.ernment drive.D.Geographical location.22.The author has detailed some of the efforts of the Danish Government in promoting the windindustry in order to show _________.A.the government’s determinationB.the country’s subsidy and loan p oliciesC.the importance of export to the countryD.the role of taxation to the economy23.What does the author mean by “Denmark’s example couldn’t be more timely”?A.Denmark’s energy-saving efforts cannot be followed by other countries.B.Denmark can manufacture more wind turbines for other countries.C.Denmark’s energy-saving success offers the world a useful model.D.Denmark aims to show the world that it can develop even faster.24.According to the passage, Denmark’s energy-saving policies originated from _________.A.the country’s long tradition of environmental awarenessB.the country’s previous experience of oil shortageC.the country’s grave shortage of natural resourcesD.the country’s abundant wind resources25.Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?A.Not to save energy could lead to serious consequences.B.Energy saving cannot go together with economic growth.C.Energy saving efforts can be painful but positive.D.Denmark is a powerful leader in the global wind market.TEXT DThe first clue came when I got my hair cut. The stylist offered not just usual coffee or tea but a complementary nail-polish change while I waited for my hair to dry. Maybe she hoped this little amenity would slow the growing inclination of women to stretch each haircut to last four months while nursing our hair back to whatever natural colour we long ago forgot.Then there was the appliance salesman who offered to carry my bags as we toured the microwave aisle. When I called my husband to ask him to check some specs online, the salesman offered a pre-emptive discount, lest the surfing turn up the same model cheaper in another store. That night, for the first time, I saw the Hyundai ad promising shoppers that if they buy a car and then lose their job in the next year, they can return it.Suddenly e verything’s on sale. The upside to the economic downturn is the immense incentive it gives retailers to treat you like a queen for a day. During the flush times, salespeople were surly, waiters snobby. But now the customer rules, just for showing up. There’s more room to stretch out on the flight, even in a coach. The malls have that serene aura of undisturbed wilderness, with scarcely a shopper in sight. Every conversation with anyone selling anything is a pantomime of pain and bluff. Finger the scarf, then start to walk away, and its price floats silkily downward. When the mechanic calls to tell you that brakes and a timing belt and other services will run close to $2,000,it’s time to break out the newly perfected art of the considered pause. You really d on’t even have to say anything pitiful before he’ll offer to knock a few hundred dollars off.Restaurants are also caught in a fit of ardent hospitality, especially around Wall Street. Trinity Place offers $3 drinks at happy hour any day the market goes d own, with the slogan “Market tanked? Get tanked!” —which ensures a lively crowd for the closing bell. The “21” Club has decided that men no longer need to wear ties, so long as they bring their wallets. Food itself is friendlier: you notice more comfort food, a truce between chef and patron that is easier to enjoynow that you can get a table practically anywhere. New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni characterizes the new restaurant demeanor as “extreme solicitousness tinged with outright desperati on.” “You need to hug the customer,” one owner told him.There’s a chance that eventually we’ll return all this kindness with the extravagant spending that was once decried but now everyone is hoping will restart the economy. But human nature is funny that way. In dangerous times, we clench and squint at the deal that looks too good to miss, suspecting that it must be too good to be true. Is the store with the supercheap flat screens going to go bust and thus not be there to honor the “free” extended warran ty? Is there something wrong with that free cheese? Store owners will tell you horror stories about shoppers with attitude, who walk in demanding discounts and flaunt their new power at every turn. They wince as they sense bad habits forming: Will people expect discounts forever? Will their hard-won brand luster be forever cheapened, especially for items whose allure depends on their being ridiculously priced?There will surely come a day when things go back to “normal”; retail sales even inched up in January after sinking for the six months. But I wonder what it will take for us to see those $545 Sigerson Morrison studded toe-ring sandals as reasonable? Bargain-hunting can be addictive regardless of the state of the markets, and haggling is a low-risk, high-value contact sport. Trauma digs deep into habits, like my 85-year-old mother still calling her canned-goods cabinet “the bomb shelter.” The children of the First Depression were saving string and preaching sacrifice long after the skies cleared. They cam e to be called the “greatest generation.” As we learn to be decent stewards of our resources, who knows what might come of it? We have lived in an age of wanton waste, and there is value in practicing conservation that goes far beyond our own bottom line.26.According to the passage, what does “the first clue” suggest?A.Shops try all kinds of means to please customers.B.Shops, large or small, are offering big discounts.C.Women tend to have their hair cut less frequently.D.Customers refrain from buying things impulsively.27.Which of the following best depicts the retailers now?A.Bad-tempered.B.Highly motivated.C.Over-friendly.D.Deeply frustrated.28.What does the author mean by “the newly perfected art of the considered pause”?A.Customers now rush to buy things on sale.B.Customers have got a sense of superiority.C.Customers have learned how to bargain.D.Customers have higher demands for service.29.According to the passage, “shoppers...flaunt their new power at every turn” means thatshoppers would _________.A.keep asking for more discountsB.like to show that they are powerfulC.like to show off their wealthD.have more doubts or suspicion30.What is the author’s main message in the last two paragraphs?A.Extravagant spending would boost economic growth.B.One’s life experience would turn into lifelong habits.C.Customers should expect discounts for luxury goods.D.The practice of frugality is of great importance.PART III GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (10 MIN)There are ten multiple-choice questions in this section.

It was with this mindset that she startedto take a degree in medicine. However, while visiting her brothers who were away at college studying music education, she realized that she too was drawn to teach music.In her ten years at Granite Falls, she has revitalized (复兴) the music programs at both the elementary and high school levels, to the extent that an additional music teacher was hired by the district to assist with the workload. The growth of the music program in Granite Falls School District has encouraged students to participate in county, state and national music competitions, and won a lot of prizes for the district.Teaching music is only part of Peterson's instruction --- it serves as a vehicle t o o t h e r a r e a s."Music is an amazing tool to unlock students' potential. The most visible benefit from their success in music is their increased confidence and self-esteem," Peterson said. "However, I don't believe it is the only benefit, nor the most powerful. It is truly exciting to see how my music teaching can transfer back to other classrooms." With this philosophy, Peterson introduced a cross-curriculum program, where she takes lessons taught in other classes, such as English and math, and expands upon them in an eight-week unit.One of the most popular projects in Peterson's classes is the creation and performance of a musical. In the activity students create a play from one of the books they have read in another class. Students work together to choose the music that best fits with the overall feel of the play and then perform it for the greater community. "Through Andrea's efforts these kids have helped to put Granite Falls, Washington, on the map for musical talents. Parents, staff and community members continue to be in awe of what she is able to bring forth from the children," said Debra Rose Howell, a colleague of Peterson's at Monte Cristo Elementary School.56.

BDDACBMany people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives.Saddened，they seem to think that their own company is not enough to make them happy.Nothing could be further from the truth though.In order to get along with others，the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself.Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy，solid relationships with others.Listen to your inner voice.Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need.It is about time you started listening to it.In order to get to know yourself in depth，it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.Learn to enjoy your own company.You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process.Reading romantic novels，poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself，that not only can offer you hours of enjoyment，but also the chance to get to know yourself better.Satisfy yourself.Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生)．Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles.Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape.No matter how busy your daily schedule is，always find at least an hour per day for yourself，when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing，or doing something that you enjoy.Learn to respect your own boundaries.Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them.You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept；no one else can point that out to you，or force you to compromise.61．If you want to have a good relationship with others，you should first ________.A．get into the habit of living aloneB．make many friends in societyC．always tell the truthD．learn to be your own best friend62．What is the purpose of listening to your inner voice?A．To keep a good state of mind.B. To know more about yourself.C．To enjoy the time by yourselfD. To form a relationship with others. 63．In order to please yourself, the writer gives some suggestions EXCEPT ________.A. eating healthilyB. exercise regularlyC. experimenting with new hair styleD. keeping on struggling 64．The underlined word “boundaries〞most nearly means “ ______〞.A. weaknessesB. aimsC. ambitionsD. limits65．What is the structure of the passage?6．D 7．B 8．D 9．D 10．ACHow many times have you got upset because someone wasn't doing his job，because your child isn't behaving？How many times have you been irritated (恼怒的) when you've planned something carefully and things didn't go as you'd hoped?This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it’s part of the human experiences.One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic.Actually，I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all？And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind: see_the_glass_as_already_broken.See，the cause of our stress，anger and irritation is that things don't go the way we like，the way we expect them to.Think of how many times this has been true for you.And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong，expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen.And accept it.One quick example：on our recent trip to Japan，I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do on a trip.I told them，“See it as part of the adventure.〞And this worked like a charm.When we inevitably (不可防止地) took the wrong train on a foreignlanguage subway system，or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea，or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they said，“It's part of the adventure！〞And it was all OK—we didn't get too bothered.So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day，you might get upset.But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken，from the day you get it.You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning，see it as already broken.Be a timetraveler，or someone with timetraveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks.And whenit breaks，you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken，from the day you got it.And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious. 66．The author would probably agree that________.A. we should control our anger and irritationB. we must get well prepared for the futureC. optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritationD. anger and irritation is a natural part of our life67．The purpose of the author is to________.A. tell us his own experience in lifeB. advise us how to find peace of mindC. tell us a happy trip he took with his childrenD. ask us to see things from both sides68．By the underlined part (in Para.4)，the author tells us to________.A. get ready for the worst result of thingsB. enjoy the process of thingsC. expect little from lifeD. find the relationship between cause and effect69．The author’s children could enjoy their trip to Japan because________.A. everything went smoothlyB. they had a lot of adventuresC. they had expected things to go wrongD. they could soon get used to the customs there70．We can learn from the passage that the author________.A. often gets angry in his lifeB. can adjust his state of mind accordinglyC. always expects others to act in his wayD. always suffers from his anger and irritationKEYS:DBACBPart III Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions： Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.China now has 350 million smokers, accounting for one-third of theworld total.Chinese smokers now become addicted to nicotine at theage of 19, five years earlier than the average starting age of 24 in 1997.Of the 1.1 billion smokers all over the world，more than 800 million are indeveloping countries. And as the world’s largest developing country, China also has the largest number of smokers.Some frightening facts start to appear when we examine who China’ssmokers are.Of the 350 million addicts, more than 100 million are under theage of 18, while more than 50 percent of male teachers and doctors are smokers.Such a high rate of addicts among male teachers and doctors will certainlyhave a bad impact on the young generation．Teachers are usually expected to be role models for students who tend toconsider whatever they do is right and follow their example, It is very likelythat the number of teenage smokers will increase in the near future unlessmeasures are taken to forbid teachers from smoking in front of their studentsor designate (指定) schools as no-smoking zones.What is truly puzzling is why so many doctors smoke.They are aware ofthe results of the habit, such as high blood pressure and lung cancer.If educated people set an example by stopping smoking at least in publicplaces,it would be much easier to make it clear that it is uncivilized to smoke in public places.In China, there should also be a national law to forbid smoking in public places.These would make a contribution to cutting the number of people in China who aresmoking themselves into early grave (坟墓).71.

Nowadays, however, such schools tend to meet the demand mainly of the children of the wealthy. The welcome extends to the brighter children of the poor with the aid of the campaign.According to Mr. Stephen, the current campaign began several years ago, at first with just a Web site and a handful of newspaper advertisements, written by a St. Paul’s parent. Kenneth Durham, head of University College Schoolsaid, “We felt that if we were serious about appealing to people who wouldn’t normally think about sending their children to independent schools, then we needed to advertise more widely.〞81.

This is certainly what happened in my life .When I was 14, I was hitchhiking from Houston, Texas, through El Paso on my _31_ to California. I , a high school dropout with learning disability was following my dream, and decided to surf the biggest _32_ in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii, where I would later live. Upon reaching downtown El Paso, I met an old man, a beggar, on the street corner, who stopped me and asked if I was _33_ away from home. I told him, “Not exactly, sir.”While at home, my father said to me “It’s important to _34_your dream and what is in your heart. Son.”After chatting for a few minutes, the friendly beggar told me to follow him. He told me that he had something grand to _35_ with me. We walked a couple of blocks until we came to a library, where the beggar first__36__me to a table and asked me to wait for a moment_37_ he looked for something special among the shelves. A few moments later, he _38_ with a couple of old books under his arms, and then started with a few statements that were very _39_ and that changed my life. He said, There are two things that I want _40_ you:Number one is never to judge a book by its cover, for a cover can fool you. Well, young man, I’ve got a little _41_ for you. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. But a year ago, my wife passed away. I realized there were certain things I had not yet _42_ in life, one of which is to live like a beggar on the streets. So, you see, don’t ever judge a book by its cover.”“Number two is to learn how to _43_, my boy. For there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you, and that is your wisdom.”At that moment, he presented the _44_ of Plato and Aristotle ---- Immortal(不朽的) classics from ancient times.The beggar then led me back on the streets near where we _45_ met.

When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents.To some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before I started cutting it was simply amazing. It's not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept---that's why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away---even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. It's widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together---extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得) ! You can share other members' troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time!In Poland, a wedding, Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house get together and cook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What's more, almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am.46. When the writer was a child, he / she ________.A. found people were crazy about breadB. learned people hardly baked their own breadC. thought that cutting bread was amazingD. began to realize the importance of food47. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because ________.A. he/she makes food from scratchB. his/her parents would blame him/herC. some customs still have effect on him/herD. many people are still working hard as farmers48. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, ________.A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long timeB. family members can know more about each other by having meals togetherC. it's common for women to get together to cook for a few daysD. the whole family often have meals together nowadaysBUnless governments take necessary measures to protect tigers, they may disappear by 2010, the World Wildlife Fund said Thursday.The conservation(保护) group said tiger numbers have decreased(减少) 95 percent in the past century and only 5 000～7 200 tigers still remain in the wild —compared with nearly ten times that many at the start of the century.WWF published an update of their study on Feb. 11, 1999 —Wanted Alive: Tigers in the Wild, marking the end of the Chinese Year of the Tiger.The report states that in spite of the great efforts over the past year, much remains to be done to prevent the tiger from becoming extinct early next century. If governments do not fight against unlawful hunting and get rid of the demand for tiger products the tiger will go to extinction, says WWF.“We cannot relax for one moment if we are to make it certain that tigers will still exist in the wild by the next Chinese Year of the Tiger in 2010.”Said Elizabeth Kemt,species conservation information manager at WWF International and one of the authors of the report.Three of the subspecies of tiger—the Bali, Caspian and Javan tigers are extinct. The South China tiger faces the same end as only 20 or 30 are known to remain in the wild, down from 4 000 in 1950s.49. This passage tells us that _______.A. WWF is a government organization of ChinaB. there are altogether two Chinese Years of the Tiger: 1999 and 2010C. Elizabeth Kemf didn’t join the authors in writing the report but she agreed to their opinionD. if the twenty to thirty South China tigers were killed, probably no tiger of this kind would remain in the wild50. The word “extinct”in the fourth paragraph probably means _______.A. fewerB. lostC. deadD. alive51. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A. How to Protect TigersB. Tigers Are Disappearing from the WorldC. Tigers in the WildD. The Chinese Year of the TigerCFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to $1. 01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone "quit lines" across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates（倡议）. They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost ＄10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans "who choose to smoke."That's true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, As for today's adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.52.The text is mainly about___________.A. the effect of tobacco tax increaseB. the rate of teen smokingC. the price of cigarettesD. the differences in tobacco tax rate53.What does the author think is a surprise?A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.C. Tobacco taxes improve public health.D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.54. The underlined word "deter" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.A. freeB. removeC. benefitD. discarding55. Rogers' attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of ______.A. toleranceB. unconcernC. doubtD. sympathy56. What can we learn from the las t paragraph?A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.D. Adults will depend more on their families.DEveryone who has eaten instant noodles (方便面) before knows how it looks like. It is very easy to cook it instantly by putting the noodles into the boiling water and add in those MSG（味精）packets, together with your other food like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered whether this is the correct way ofcooking it? When you first took out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that the noodles are joined together nicely as a piece. In order to make the noodles joined together nicely side by side it needs some form of wax coating (石蜡涂层) in order to show an attractive instant noodles in front of us. Many people who enjoy eating instant noodles frequently do not really think too much of it as it seems very normal to everyone to have it nicely shown in front of us. However, researches have shown that the wax coating on the noodles is quite harmful to our body and we should not eat it too frequently. It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles as our body need about 3 days to clear that layer of wax coating away from our body system. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating stored in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it is stored in our body system for a long period of time.There are 2 key points to take note while preparing instant noodles:1) Wash the instant noodles with warm water first, stir(搅动) it and pour away the water containing the wax coating.2) Repeat Step 1 and try to stir the noodles again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking it in a new pot of water.Hope this article will let more people have self-awareness of the hidden danger of instant noodles and thus eat safely and stay healthy.57. The purpose of the writ er is to tell us ______.A. how the instant noodles are madeB. how to cook instant noodlesC. something about the layer of wax coating on the noodlesD. how to eat instant noodles safely and healthily58. It is true according to the passage that ______.A. the instant noodles are joined together in a mess as a piece.B. it is common to see the noodles nicely joined together.C. you can eat instant noodles as often as you like.D. too much wax coating does no harm to our health.59.

The whole subject of gene segregation and recombination and their expression in the phenotype is sometimes referred to as Mendelian genetics.有时把基因分离与基因重组及基因表达的所有问题都称为孟德尔遗传学。
This cross is special in that all possible kinds of genotypes that can exist in a system with only two alleles are present among the progeny.这种杂交方式的特殊性在于，在后代中尽管只有两个等位基因，但所有可能的基因型都出现。
If the two genes in any genotype are the same, as in AA and aa, their effects will be the same upon the phenotype. However, when the heterozygote is involved, we must consider the effects of both of these alleles.如果两个等位基因相同，如AA,aa，它们对表现性的影响是同样的。
但是，当涉及杂合子时，我们必须同时考虑两个等位基因间的作用。
Since the possibility exists that it could be heterozygous and still sire several rose-combed chicks before any single-combed ones appeared, five or ten or more progeny should be observed before deciding that the cock is homozygous.由于杂合体公鸡在产生单冠之前，仍可能产生数只玫瑰冠鸡，因此，在判断该鸡是否是纯合体之前，应观察五只，十只或更多的F1代。
Food is material which, after ingestion by animals, is capable of being digested, absorbed and utilised. In a more general sense we use the term food to describe edible material.饲料是被动物摄取之后能够被消化，吸收和利用的物质。
一般来说，我们用饲料这一术语来描述可食用的物质。
Animals depend upon plants for their existence and consequently a study of animal nutrition must necessarily begin with the plant itself.动物依赖植物而生存，对于动物营养物质的研究，首先必须从植物本省开始。
The greater part of the energy, however, is stored as chemical energy within the plant itself and it is this energy which is used by the animal for the maintenance of life and synthesis of its own body tissues.植物可以通过光合作用，利用太阳能，但大部分能量以化学能的形式储存于植物体内，动物利用这种能量来维持生命和自身身体组织。
An important difference between plants and animals is that, whereas the former can synthesise all the vitamins they require for metabolism, animals cannot, or have very limited powers of synthesis, and are dependent upon an external supply.动植物之间一个重要的区别是植物能够合成自身代谢所需要的全部维生素，而动物则不能或者说合成能力非常有限，主要依靠外源供给。
A system for approximating the value of a feed or material for feeding purposes, without actually using the feed in a feeding trial, was developed at the Weende Experiment Station in Germany over 100 years ago.早在100年前，德国的Weende实验站发明了可不经过实际饲养实验，便可对饲料和原料成分进行近似评估的一套方案。
Protein so determined is referred to as crude protein as contrasted to true protein as determined by more involved procedures.用这种方法测出的蛋白质指的是粗蛋白，要想获得纯蛋白还需经过几步。
The amounts of ether-soluble materials in a feed which are not true fats, however, usually represent only a very small percentage of the overall feed.非脂肪累乙醚可溶物在饲料中含量并不大，因此不会引起较大误差。
This is that portion of metabolizable energy which may be used as needed by the animal for work, growth, fattening, fetal development, milk production, and/or heat production.这是代谢能的一部，动物可以用于做功，生长，育肥，胎儿发育，泌乳，和成熟。
This is especially important from the standpoint of balancing rations for ruminants since such animals normally have significant energy losses of both types, and different feeds and rations vary greatly in the amount of these losses.这对配置反刍动物平衡日粮时尤其重要，因为反刍动物的尿能和发酵气体能的损失很大，而且不同饲料和日粮损失的量也不尽相同。
In the final analysis, however, to the extent that reliable NE values are available, they represent the most precise measure of an animal's energy needs and the capacity of different feeds to meet these needs.在最后的分析中，某种程度上净能是有利用价值的，因为它是精确的反应动物的能量需要以及不同饲料满足这种需要的动力。
Animals have precise nutritional requirements, but under natural conditions are faced with a wide variety of foods to choose from, some of which are nutritionally inadequate.动物有精确的营养需要，但在自然条件下，给予多种饲料被挑选，其中有些是你营养不充分的。
