Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.
I was very 36 when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it‟s not even really a campus. It's 37 like an area in a small town.
Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and 38 . You might 39 say they‟re a little shabby(破旧). They don‟t fit the modern 40 of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by 41 and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a castle of the Mid-Ages. But when I looked across the street, the 42 shops and in-fashion(时尚的) students made me feel like I was in the 21st century 43 . It creates a strong contrast (对比) and brings a special 44 to the school.
Our tour 45 Gary took us around and told us. “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they hold their 46 ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony.” It's 47 ! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the grass?
I 48 some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of 49 turning, along with the singing of the birds, I felt very 50 . There was no competitive feeling at all.
Harvard has the world‟s first computer in its science centre 51 there are hundreds of high-end computers, too. Its religion(宗教) and the literature departments are also 52 the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and 53 technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to 54 in.
I hope one day I‟ll 55 my dream school --- Harvard.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分）

A
“How can I learn English well?”This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you‟ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says, you‟re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you‟ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
56. In the writer‟s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _______.
A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
B. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules
C. to translate everything into his own language
D. to forget your own native language
57. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.
A. stop you mastering English
B. help you study English well
C. make English easy to learn
D. help you notice mistakes
58. The underlined words“to feel the language”here means________.
A. to get a knowledge of English by touching
B. to be able to read and write English
C. to be able to experience the rich feeling of the language
D. to translate English into your own by imagining
B
Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In order to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large
numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil---allowing the rain to sink in ---and also keep the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich topsoil. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation.
59. What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?
A. They help him make money.
B. They help him prevent droughts and floods.
C. They give him wood and other products.
D. They give him shade.
60. Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear?
A. New trees are not looked after properly.
B. Many trees have been cut down by man.
C. Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.
D. All of the above.
61. Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?
A. Because it lost all its trees.
B. Because the empire fell to pieces.
C. Because an empire was set up.
D. Because too much had been spent on wars.
62. Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down?
A. Because nothing remains on land except floods.
B. Because roots of the trees break up the soil.
C. Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the topsoil.
D. Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the topsoil.
63. Which title best fits the passage?
A. How do People deal with Trees?
B. The Function of Tree Wood
C. Trees and Man
D. The Usage of Tree Roots
C
The terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge for Chinese high school students, but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students.
Although the long, cold winter has already started in South Korea, the annual (一年一度的) national exams have made the atmosphere very heated.
More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学), history and foreign languages.
Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities.
Because students face fierce(激烈的) competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 a.m. After school has finished at 6:30 p.m., most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day. “I feel a lot of pressure，but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide my future,” Park said.
The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings. Tooting of horns (鸣笛) is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours.
Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18, 000 yuan each term. This has made a lot of students think again.
64. In South Korea ________.
A. there is only one college
B. there are a number of colleges
C. there are only top universities
D. there is only one top college
65. We can infer that there are almost ________ college places for high school graduates.
A. 675, 000
B. 500, 000
C. 507, 520
D. 600, 000
66. The students want to study in top colleges mainly because ________.
A. they can succeed more easily in future
B. they can learn more
C. they can make more money
D. it is interesting to study there
67. Before students are allowed to colleges ________.
A. they will not be tested any more
B. they will ask questions of colleges
C. they will be interviewed
D. first they will pay all the education fee at all
D
Depression(抑郁症) is a serious problem today. Depression causes workers to be unproductive, causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”. Depression hits one person in five around the world.
Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that depression is a problem among everyone. Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world‟s population will be suffering from a serious depression.
Suicide(自杀) rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme(极端), or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population as a whole, and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping, getting up on time, and doing work unproductively.
Depression, which researchers agree, has its origin in the genes, brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate, making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.
Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese being unable to face it. Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides, there is no good treatment, with few medical experts available.
“Most patients in China just don‟t g et help,” a Chinese doctor says. “In my hospital, I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning. I just have time to say …Hello, how do you feel?‟”
In Western countries, people are not afraid to admit that they have depression, but most do not tell it to their boss, because they fear that their boss would fire them.
“In my experience, aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it, because they feel the most secure(安全的) about themselves.” an American doctor says.
Hopefully, in the near future, people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment.
68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Everyone is suffering from depression now.
B. Depression is a commonly--existing problem only in rich countries.
C. Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work.
D. The poorer and the less educated a person is, the less he will suffer from depression.
69. Depression becomes more serious in China because of _________ .
A. the lack of treatment and doctors
B. the pressure of unemployment
C. their unwillingness to tell it to their bosses
D. the doctor's careless work
70. Compared to normal people, the depressed people are likely to be __________ .
A. very unconfident and often absent-minded
B. easy to avoid being hit by heart attacks
C. working efficiently and productively
D. either weak or lazy
第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

每个空格只填一个单词。

Many people catch a cold in spring or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are
actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses(病毒) out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.
When a virus enters your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe(呼吸) well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells(细胞). You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
Different people have different cures for colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状) of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note: some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.
