They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of theworld. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or moreahead.1．Satellites travel _____________.A in spaceB in the atmosphereC above the groundD above space2．Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere?

At midnight of December 253）In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seenas a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.1. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To look back to the early days of computers.B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.2. According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might_____A. lead us into the post-war eraB. be quite widespreadC. take controlD. take over routine tasks3. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to_____A. be reasonably skeptical about themB. check all their answersC. substitute them for basic thinkingD. use them for business purposes only4. An “internal computer” is_____A. a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problemsB. a person's store of knowledge and the ability to process itC. the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable5. The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is_____A. challengingB. psychologicalC. dramaticD. malfunctioningIV.

In a couple of hours he was going to fly out to France. He was going to be away for at least a year to learn a foreign language and 61 life in a foreign country.It was a milestone in Dan’s life, a change from school days to62 .When we were to say goodbye,I 63 closely at his face. I would like to provide him with good 64that would last longer than here andnow.But not a sound came over my lips. I 65 motionless and silent, looking 66 my son’s green eyes.I knew that this wasn’t the first time I 67 such an opportunity pass me by. When Daniel was a little boy, I followed him to the bus on the first day in preschool. I 68 the excitement in his hand that held mine when the bus came round the corner. He looked at me—just 69 he did now. And then he boarded the bus and 70 . The bus drove away. And I hadn’t71 a word.Some ten years later, a similar episode 72 .

Why does it have to be so 77 to tell your son how you feel?

They had to decide where to go and which animals to visit as their time was 82 . So both of them agreed not to83 after choosing a 84 at every fork(岔路口).A road sign at the first fork 85 one way to the lion area and the other to the tiger hill. They decided on the former after a 86 discussion because li ons were “the king of the grassland”. The second showed a division going separately to the panda and peacock.

Many countries fought for the power andriches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas whichdemanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possiblybecause of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many menof genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however,produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, andscientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Ageof Genius", three famous painters started their work. They were Leonardoda Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings butalso for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting isthe "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was anartist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked withother forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceilingof the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced picturesout of many different actions.101.Another name for the 16th century is the .A.Classical AgeB.Middle AgesC."Age of Genius"D.Age of Renaissance102.To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and few in other is .A.an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC.not importantD.unnecessary103.Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraphof the passage?A.Geniuses are born talented.B.Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C.Fighting for the riches of the newly - discovered Americas produced geniuses.D.A period during which new ideas were replacing older ideas might produce geniuses.104.is famous for his paintings and for his talent in science.A.RaphaelB.Leonardo da VinciC.MichelangeloD.Mona Lisa105.Michelangelo is known for .A.his Mona LisaB.his paintings in Sistine ChapelC.his well-balanced picturesD.his contributions to scienceSometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions( 预言 )from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of newsevents.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the nextstep. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from withinjournalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the presentgeneration of journalists and publishers will have to die off before thenext generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer anewspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditionalnewspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replacenewsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to completethe changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapershave established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry.106.The best title for this passage is .puter Newspapers are Well LikedB.Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC.Newspapers Are out of FashionD.New Communications Technology107.It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replacetraditional newspapers, because .A.it is technologically impossible nowputer newspapers are too expensiveC.there is strong resistance from both the general population and professional journalistsD.traditional newspapers are easy to read108.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A.They are cheaper than traditional newspapersB.They are very convenient to useC.You can get more information from them quicklyD.You can easily save information for future use109.Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers,because .A.they don’t know how to use computersB.they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC.they think the new technology is badD.they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110.We can infer from the passage that .A.all technological changes are goodB.all technologies will eventually replace old onesC.new technologies will eventually replace old onesD.traditional newspapers are here to stay for another centuryPassage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a greatdeal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personalworth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. Ayoungster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighterbrothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became soafraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course, they shouldbe corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But thecriticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself;it’s like being in a car without brakes（刹车）.The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sends a double message. He is also saying :“I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t wantyou to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body,and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information thatthey will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy（隐私权）and respect for theirpersonal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted,not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a motherfeels that she must read her daughte’r s diary to know what is going on,the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to buildtheir lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinionsof others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The bestway to teach such values is by example.

Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worse you’ll be wasting a powerful tool —the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look,a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this.116.The main idea of the text is that .A.stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB.it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC.films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD.the camera has made film making easy and possible117.What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before thestage?A.Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B.The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C.The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D.The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.118.Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?A.It can move easily.B.It can make small things look larger.C.It can show things in the future.D.It can give us a scene of realism.119.In what way are plays different from film?A.Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.B.Films can show the past while plays can’t.C.Films change scenes while plays don’t.D.Film audience can move while play audience can’t.120. A suitable title for this text is .A. Stage Plays and FilmB. The Powerful CameraC. Fewer Plays, More FilmsD. Less Waste, More FreedomPassage3If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd(奇数) one. Besides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亚).The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them and to avoidembarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.121.In Poland, if a man gives some odd red roses to woman as a present, it means that he .A. will invite her to a dinner partyB. has not been in love withherC. will invite her to a ballD. has fallen in love withher122.If a Brazilian puts his thumb and index(食指) into a circle, it shows that he you.A. will be friends withB. is not satisfied withC. is willing to helpD. is satisfied with123.In Poland, it is for the hostess to remove the cover of the bunch of flower somebody presented to her.A. impoliteB. politeC. expectedD. unexpected124.In Bulgaria, if a man nods, it means that he with you.A. will have a talkB. disagreesC. will shake handsD.agrees125.The sentence “When in Rome, do as the Romans d o”means that .A.we should learn from the RomansB.we should work as the Romans doC.we should obey its customs when we are entering a country.D.we have been RomansEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand —he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual （视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel thata certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billionspossible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merel（y 仅仅） choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous (生坏疽的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something —all of which mean that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 126.All artists are common in that .A.they use shapes and colors instead of wordsB.they are trying to teach the publicC.what they want to teach is difficult to explainD.they want to learn from the public127.A painter chooses certain shapes and colors out of the countless billions possible because he believes they .A.are beautifulB.can bring delight to himC.are worth showing to the publicD.are particular128.C ontemporary artists choose subjects .A.without reference to the character of their subjectsB.that only provide an interesting patternC.that there is no meaning in itD.partly for the meaning of the subjects129.C omparing the painter who paints a gangrenous leg with the one who。

He was going to be away for at least a year to learn a foreign language and 61 life in a foreign country.It was a milestone in Dan’s li fe, a change from school days to62 .When we were to say goodbye,I 63 closely at his face. I would like to provide him with good64that would last longer than here andnow.But not a sound came over my lips. I 65 motionless and silent, looking 66 my son’s green eyes.I knew that this wasn’t the first time I 67 such an opportunity pass me by.

Many countries fought for the power andriches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas whichdemanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possiblybecause of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many menof genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however,produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, andscientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Ageof Genius", three famous painters started their work. They were Leonardoda Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings butalso for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting isthe "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was anartist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked withother forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceilingof the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced picturesout of many different actions.101.Another name for the 16th century is the .A.Classical AgeB.Middle AgesC."Age of Genius"D.Age of Renaissance102.To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and few in other is .A.an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC.not importantD.unnecessary103.Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraphof the passage?A.Geniuses are born talented.B.Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C.Fighting for the riches of the newly - discovered Americas produced geniuses.D.A period during which new ideas were replacing older ideas might produce geniuses.104.is famous for his paintings and for his talent in science.A.RaphaelB.Leonardo da VinciC.MichelangeloD.Mona Lisa105.Michelangelo is known for .A.his Mona LisaB.his paintings in Sistine ChapelC.his well-balanced picturesD.his contributions to scienceSometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions( 预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of newsevents.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the nextstep. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from withinjournalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the presentgeneration of journalists and publishers will have to die off before thenext generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer anewspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditionalnewspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replacenewsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to completethe changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapershave established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry.106.The best title for this passage is ./doc/3d18748196.html,puter Newspapers are Well LikedB.Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC.Newspapers Are out of FashionD.New Communications Technology107.It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replacetraditional newspapers, because .A.it is technologically impossible now/doc/3d18748196.html,puter newspapers are too expensiveC.there is strong resistance from both the general population and professional journalistsD.traditional newspapers are easy to read108.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A.They are cheaper than traditional newspapersB.They are very convenient to useC.You can get more information from them quicklyD.You can easily save information for future use109.Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers,because .A.they don’t know how to use computersB.they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC.they think the new technology is badD.they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110.We can infer from the passage that .A.all technological changes are goodB.all technologies will eventually replace old onesC.new technologies will eventually replace old onesD.traditional newspapers are here to stay for another centuryPassage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a greatdeal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personalworth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. Ayoungster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighterbrothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became soafraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course,they shouldbe corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But thecriticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself;it’s like being in a car without brakes（刹车）.The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sends a double message. He is also saying :“I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t wantyou to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body,and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information thatthey will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy（隐私权）and respect for theirpersonal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted,not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a motherfeels that she must rea d her daughte’r s diary to know what is going on,the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to buildtheir lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinionsof others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The bestway to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towel（s 毛巾）f r o m a h o t e l w i l l t h i n k t h a t i t i s a l l r igh t t o s t e a l.A y o u n g s t e r w h o s e e s n o l a u g h t e r a n d n o l o v ei n t h e h o m e w i l lh a v e a d i f f i c u l t t i m e l a u g h i n g a n d l o v i n g.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owethe child something. And if you give him his due, h’e ll have somethingof value to pass along to your grandchildren.111.A ccording to the passage, parents owe their children the followingthings except .A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. informationabout their body112.The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are in charge of themselves because .A.they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB.there is no one to guide and discipline themC.they are afraid of being left aloneD.there is no one to ask for help when in trouble.113.W hich of the following ways is advised for parents to show love totheir children?A.Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask forB.Never embracing older childrenC.Refusing something to the childrenD.Never criticizing children.114.T he word “due” in the last paragraph means .A.something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB.reasonable explanations or plansC.what must be given to someone because it is right or wrongD.the money to be paid115.W hich of the following is true according to the passage?A.Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own livesat an early age.B.Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C.Children shouldn’t be corr ected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D.It is better to compare a youngster to his bright brothers becauseit makes him try harder.Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films.

Not only does he want so say it well, but he wants itto be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand —he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual （视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel thata certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions。

Why does it have to be so 77 to tellyour son how you feel?

So both of them agreed not to83 after choosing a 84 at every fork(岔路口).A road sign at the first fork 85 one way to the lion area and theother to the tiger hill. They decided on the former after a 86 discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland”. The secondshowed a division going separately to the panda and peacock. They 87panda as it was the nation’s treasure and went its way. 88 they madechoices all along the way and each choice meant 89 what they couldn’thelp regretting.

Only92 decision could offer more chances for sightseeing and 93possible regret.Life is 94 like this- choices often occur that one has to make, for example, between two 95 jobs, two fascinating wooers(追求者).To get one you 96 give up the other-you can get half of it.

Many countries fought for the power and riches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas which demanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possibly because of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many men of genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however, produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, and scientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Age of Genius", three famous painters started their work.They were Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings but also for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting is the "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was an artist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked with other forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced pictures out of many different actions.101. Another name for the 16th century is the ________.A. Classical AgeB. Middle AgesC. "Age of Genius"D. Age of Renaissance102. To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and fewin other is __________.A. an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC. not importantD. unnecessary103. Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraph of the passage?A. Geniuses are born talented.B. Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C. Fighting for the riches of the newly - discovered Americas produced geniuses.D. A period during which new ideas were replacing older ideas might produce geniuses.104. _________ is famous for his paintings and for his talent in science.A. RaphaelB. Leonardo da VinciC. MichelangeloD. Mona Lisa105. Michelangelo is known for __________.A. his Mona LisaB. his paintings in Sistine ChapelC. his well-balanced picturesD. his contributions to scienceSometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Wantmore information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions(预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computernewspaper may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry. 106. The best title for this passage is_______.A. Computer Newspapers are Well LikedB. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC. Newspapers Are out of FashionD. New Communications Technology107. It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers, because__ .A. it is technologically impossible nowB. computer newspapers are too expensiveC. there is strong resistance from both the general population andprofessional journalistsD. traditional newspapers are easy to read108. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapersB. They are very convenient to useC. You can get more information from them quicklyD. You can easily save information for future use109. Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers, because_______.A. they don’t know how to use computersB. they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC. they think the new technology is badD. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110. We can infer from the passage that_______.A. all technological changes are goodB. all technologies will eventually replace old onesC. new technologies will eventually replace old onesD. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century Passage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. A youngster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became so afraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But the criticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it’s like being in a car without brakes（刹车）. The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sen ds a double message. He is also saying : “I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t want you to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy（隐私权）and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels that she must read her daughter’s diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels（毛巾） from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him hi s due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.111.According to the passage, parents owe their children the following things except______.A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. information about their body112. The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are incharge of themselves because_________.A.they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB.there is no one to guide and discipline themC.they are afraid of being left aloneD.there is no one to ask for help when in trouble.113.Which of the following ways is advised for parents to show love to their children?A. Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask forB. Never embracing older childrenC. Refusing something to the childrenD. Never criticizing children.114.The word “due” in the last paragraph means_________.A. something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB. reasonable explanations or plansC. what must be given to someone because it is right or wrongD. the money to be paid115.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own livesat an early age.B. Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C. Children shouldn’t be corrected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D. It is better to compare a youngster to his bright brothers becauseit makes him try harder.Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in fro nt of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worseyou’ll be wasting a powerful tool —the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this. 116. The main idea of the text is that ________ .A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB. it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD. the camera has made film making easy and possible117. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage?A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.118. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?A. It can move easily.B. It can make small things look larger.C. It can show things in the future.D. It can give us a scene of realism.119. In what way are plays different from film?A. Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.B. Films can show the past whi le plays can’t.C. Films change scenes while plays don’t.D. Film audience can move while play audience can’t.120. A suitable title for this text is _______.A. Stage Plays and FilmB. The Powerful CameraC. Fewer Plays, More FilmsD. Less Waste, More FreedomPassage3If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd(奇数) one. B esides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亚).The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them and to avoid embarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.121. In Poland, if a man gives some odd red roses to woman as a present, it means that he _____.A. will invite her to a dinner partyB. has not been in love withherC. will invite her to a ballD. has fallen in love withher122. If a Brazilian puts his thumb and index(食指) into a circle, it shows that he _____ you.A. will be friends withB. is not satisfied withC. is willing to helpD. is satisfied with。

The 5 questions or statements are numbered 41 through 45.The great Italian scientist Galileo once made a discovery by his pulse rate. Galileo lived three hundred years ago before men had watches for measuring time. In the sixteenth century there were very few clocks in the world and no watches. One day when Galileo was a young man of eighteen, he was in the great church of the city of Pisa where he lived. He was watching the motion of a light. He saw that as the light moved forward and back on its chain, it seemed to take the same time between turns, however far it went. He wanted to make sure whether he was right. He put his pulse rate, he measured the motion of the light as it went forward and back on its chain.He was right. He had the proof. He could prove that the time was the same, however short or long the journey of the light through the air was. Galileo had made a great discovery about the motion of a pendulum. Among other things this discovery made possible a better instrument for measuring time--- the pendulum clock.26. The passage is concerned with the discovery of _____.A) the pulse rate B) the motion of lightC) the motion of a pendulum clock D) the instrument for measuring time27. Galileo lived at the time when _____.A) men could not measure timeB) pendulum clocks were not well madeC) churches measured time with lightsD) measuring time accurately was not possible28.

Watching the motion of the light, Galileo put his fingers on his wrist in order to _____.A). measure his pulse rateB) prove his findings about the pendulumC) take the time of motion of the lightD) see whether he was nervous or not30. According to the passage, the time that the motion of the light took was _____.A) no more than that of the pulse rateB) the same between turnsC) more accurate than that of a clockD) just as much as that of one’s pulse rateTask 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you should complete the information by filling in the blanks marked 46 through 50 in the table below.Pavarotti (1935-- ), an Italian lyric tenor, was one of the most popular opera stars of the 1900's. He won fame for the warmth and flexibility of his voice, the security of his high notes, and the intense feeling in his singing.Pavarotti has concentrated mostly on Italian operas and songs. He won fame for his performances in such roles as Rodolfo in La Bohenme, Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, and the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto. In the late 1970's, he began to perform more dramatic roles, including Mario in Tosca and Manrico in Trovatore. In the 1980's and 1990's, his frequent appearances on TV and in operas and concerts on videocassettes （录像带）increased his fame. Also during the 1990's, Pavarotti and tenors Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo gave a number of enormously popular concerts throughout the world, called "The Three Tenors".Luciano Pavarotti was born in Modena, Italy. He made his professional debut in Reggio nell' Emilia, Italy, in 1961 as Rodolfo, and his Metropolitan Opera debut in 1968 in the same role.Task 4Directions: After reading the following English expressions, you are required to find the items equivalent to (与…等同) those given in Chinese in the table below.

It is the financial center of the U.S.A, exerting a significant infl uence upon the world’s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard （奇才）of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all his money. By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 million dollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually, she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean that when her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor’sbill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital. Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his mother would not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off the boy’s leg in her sitting room. It’s incredible, isn’t it?31. Wall Street is _______.A. the name of Chinatown in New YorkB. the nickname of New YorkC. the financial center of AmericaD. the tourist center of U.S.A32. Hetty Green was nicknamed the Wizard of Wall Street because she _______.A. made a great fortune with sharesB. inherited a large sum of money from her fatherC. built up a large company on sharesD. was very strange and cruel33. The underlined word “mean” in the second paragraph probably can be replacedby ______.A. sadB. cruelC. disappointedD. ungenerous34. When her son broke his leg, Hetty Green _______.A. sent him to a large hospitalB. sent for a doctor at onceC. didn’t pay the bill for the doctorD. took him to a charity hospital35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Hetty Green died a poor old woman.B. Hetty Green preferred money to anything else.C. Hetty Green liked to earn a lot of money so as to live a good life.D. Hetty Green hated her son and refused to take him to a good hospital.Passage 2People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals”—perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars — are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.36. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.37. The “canals” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A. the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB. natural valleys on the surface of MarsC. rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD. a system that irrigates the whole surface38. What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A. The natural changes on the planet.B. The seasonal cycles.C. The movement of some life form.D. The storm of dust in its atmosphere.39. How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.40. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of lifeon Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.41. This passage mainly talks about ______.A. the change of color in locustsB. the protective coloration of animals and pestsC. how a certain sea fish protects itselfD. animals or pests can dye themselves different colors42. Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because______.A. they are powerful enoughB. they are dangerous to their enemiesC. they take on the same colors as cropsD. they fly extraordinarily fast43. The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because______.A. birds take their rest when night comesB. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness44. Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because ______.A. they fear other beastsB. they prefer brown or grey colorsC. they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD. the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because ______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. it can swim much faster than any other fishC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 4High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not two bright．So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.”John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma，and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So，if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again，John Bridgeland: “The most dependable finding was that they were bored.”“They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated.They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, T exas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher，says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.“As these dropouts look back，they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its schoolattendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point－the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.46. Most high school students drop out of school because＿＿．A. they have failing gradesB. they take no interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent47. According to the passage，which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A. New HampshireB. UtahC. New MexicoD. The District of Columbia48. The underlined words “stick it out” probably means “＿＿”.A. complete schoolingB. solve the problemC. love having classesD. believe in themselves49. In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to_________.A. analyze the reason why students quit schoolB. suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC. raise awareness of reforming high school educationD. wish to make laws to guarantee no education50. From the passage，we can infer the following EXCEPTthat＿．A. the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptableB. on average dropouts cannot get good jobsC. classes don't appeal to dropoutsD. about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and SpanishPassage 5People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993，the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people，forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases，this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast，shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue，they say，until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile，if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future，apply to ahouse agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.51. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A. The rising of the sea level.B. The experts’ lack of knowledge.C. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.D. The disappearance of hotels，houses and gardens.52. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England .A. will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB. has now become a threat to the local residentsC. can be stopped if proper measures are takenD. is quickly changing the map of England53. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can .A. warn people whose homes are in dangerB. provide an effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. lead to its eventual solution54. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ________.A. house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB. it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasC. the government is too slow in taking actionD. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents55. According to the author，when buying a house along the south coast of England，people should ________________.A. take the quality of the house into considerationB. guard against being cheated by the house agentC. examine the house carefully before making a decisionD. be aware of the potential danger involvedPassage 6Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.56. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.A. 36B. 20C. 12D. 1557. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ________.A. to live in a different universityB. to get two degrees from two different universitiesC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to take a particular course in a different university58. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ________.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority59. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ________.A. they hate the constant pressure strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid60. The student organizations seem, to be effective in ________.A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesIII.

But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) 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. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “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. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.（10分）9f6ac6de-dfbb-single(1) What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? （2分）A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B.They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C.There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D.Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.5127b094-10b0-single(2) What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth? （2分）A.It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B.Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.C.Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D.It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.7792a796-f0a8-single(3) What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the courses of asteroids? （2分）A.It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.B.It may create more problems than it might solve.C.It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.D.Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.a1a4f8da-dafb-single(4) We can conclude from the passage that ________. （2分）A.while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB.asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futureC.the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetimeD.workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth66ab51da-9a7e-single(5) Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage? （2分）A.Optimistic.B.Critical.C.Objective.D.Arbitrary.6d5b056c-ab04-compose2. Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything i n life if you work hard enough to get it.”At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words de eply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with anincome of $ 1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. （10分）e6559faa-ad6b-single(1) What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______. （2分）A.caringB.movingC.encouragingD.interesting449109e0-9cc9-single(2) According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again? （2分）A.Doctors.B.Nurses.C.Friends.D.Mom.6ddcc852-965d-single(3) What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself? （2分）A.His terrible experience in the hotel.B.His previous business success of various levels.C.His mom’s support.D.His wife’s suggestion.6b8bba53-9c3e-single(4) Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?（2分）A.Modest, helpful, and hard-working.B.Loving, supportive and strong-willed.C.Careful, helpful and beautiful.D.Strict, sensitive and supportive.0a71e48b-2dcb-single(5) Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage? （2分）A.Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family.B.Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.C.Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.D.Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, h igher education and opportunities.7c3ee939-b4aa-compose3. Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. Observers noted down the referees’ error s, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football’s international r uling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insi stence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. （10分）082233f4-10cc-single(1) The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to________. （2分）A.review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB.analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC.set a standard for football refereeingD.reexamine the rules for football refereeing8950dde8-f3bd-single(2) The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was ________. （2分）A.slightly above averageB.higher than in the 1998 World CupC.quite unexpectedD.as high as in a standard matchf999394e-4bf9-single(3) The findings of the experiment show that ________. （2分）A.errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB.the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC.the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occurD.errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot2c978619-b52e-single(4) The word “officials” (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to ________. （2分）A.the researchers involved in the experimentB.the inspectors of the football tournamentC.the referees of the football tournamentD.the observers at the site of the experiment4cf84e0f-a59b-single(5) What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? （2分）A.The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.B.Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C.A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.D.An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.6ab0048e-ae67-compose4. One day Mari lla said, “Anne, your new teacher, Miss Stacy, spoke to me yesterday. She says you must study for the examinations for Queen’s College in two years’ time. Then if you do well, you can study at Queen’s in Charlottetown for a year, and after that you’ll be a teacher!”“That doesn’t matter, Anne. When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we’ll pay for you to study.”So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. Diana didn’t want to go to Queen’s, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first in the ex amination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren’t friends, but it was too late now.For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didn’t study all the time. In the evenings an d at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.“Your Anne is a big girl now. She’s taller than you,” Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day.“You’re right, Rachel!” said Marilla in surprise.“And she’s a very good girl now, isn’t she? She doesn’t get into trouble these days. I’m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.”“Yes, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” said Marilla, smiling.“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You’ve looked after her very well.”“Well, thank you, Rachel,” replied Marilla, pleased.That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying.“What’s the matter?” he asked, surprised. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.” “It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.” “When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.”“I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.”In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.“Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. “The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!”Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her.Diana was the first to hear the news, she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! It’s in Father’s newspaper! You’re first… with Gilbert… out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful!” Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak.“Well, now, I knew it,” said Matthew with a warm smile.“You’ve done well, I must say, Anne,” said Marilla, who was secretl y very pleased.For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy. Anne needs new dresses to take toCharlottetown. （10分）6304d8e6-9d24-single(1) Which of the following statements is true? （2分）A.To be a teacher was one of Annes’ dreams.B.Both Anne and Diana studied hard for the special examination.C.Matthew and Marilla were Anne’s parents.D.Anne was adopted by Matthew and Marilla.83967b51-e682-single(2) Why are Anne and Gilbert enemies?

In a couple of hours he was going to fly out to France. He was going to be away for at least a year to learn a foreign language and 61 life in a foreign country.It was a milestone in Dan’s life, a change from school days to62 .When we were to say goodbye,I 63 closely at his face. I would like to provide him with good 64that would last longer than here andnow.But not a sound came over my lips. I 65 motionless and silent, looking 66 my son’s green eyes.I knew that this wasn’t the first time I 67 such an opportunity pass me by. When Daniel was a little boy, I followed him to the bus on the first day in preschool. I 68 the excitement in his hand that heldmine when the bus came round the corner. He looked at me—just 69 hedid now. And then he boarded the bus and 70 . The bus drove away. AndI hadn’t 71 a word.Some ten years later, a similar episode 72 .

I only murmured（嘟哝） something like “Ihope you are 75 , Dan.” Then I turned around and left.Now I stood in front of him and recalled all the 76 when I hadn’tmade use of those opportunities. Why does it have to be so 77 to tellyour son how you feel? My mouth was 78 , and I knew I would only saya few words.“Dan,”I 79 stammered out（结结巴巴地说）, “if I had the choicemyself, I would 80 you.”That was all I could say.

They had to decide where to go and whichanimals to visit as their time was 82 . So both of them agreed not to83 after choosing a 84 at every fork(岔路口).A road sign at the first fork 85 one way to the lion area and theother to the tiger hill. They decided on the former after a 86discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland”. The secondshowed a division going separately to the panda and peacock. They 87panda as it was the nation’s treasure and went its way. 88 they madechoices all along the way and each choice meant 89 what they couldn’thelp regretting. But they had to make it, and 90 , for it brooked(容忍)no delay. If they hesitated(犹豫不决) they would miss 91 . Only92 decision could offer more chances for sightseeing and 93possible regret.Life is 94 like this- choices often occur that one has to make,for example, between two 95 jobs, two fascinating wooers(追求者).To get one you 96 give up the other-you can get half of it.

Many countries fought for the power and riches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas which demanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possibly because of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many men of genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however, produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, and scientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Age of Genius", three famous painters started their work. They were Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings but also for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting is the "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was an artist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked with other forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced pictures out of many different actions.101. Another name for the 16th century is the ________.A. Classical AgeB. Middle AgesC. "Age of Genius"D. Age of Renaissance102. To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and fewin other is __________.A. an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC. not importantD. unnecessary103. Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraph of the passage?A. Geniuses are born talented.B. Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C. Fighting for the riches of the newly - discovered Americas produced geniuses.D. A period during which new ideas were replacing older ideas might produce geniuses.104. _________ is famous for his paintings and for his talent in science.A. RaphaelB. Leonardo da VinciC. MichelangeloD. Mona Lisa105. Michelangelo is known for __________.A. his Mona LisaB. his paintings in Sistine ChapelC. his well-balanced picturesD. his contributions to scienceSometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Wantmore information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions(预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry. 106. The best title for this passage is_______.A. Computer Newspapers are Well LikedB. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC. Newspapers Are out of FashionD. New Communications Technology107. It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers, because__ .A. it is technologically impossible nowB. computer newspapers are too expensiveC. there is strong resistance from both the general population andprofessional journalistsD. traditional newspapers are easy to read108. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapersB. They are very convenient to useC. You can get more information from them quicklyD. You can easily save information for future use109. Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers, because_______.A. they don’t know how to use computersB. they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC. they think the new technology is badD. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110. We can infer from the passage that_______.A. all technological changes are goodB. all technologies will eventually replace old onesC. new technologies will eventually replace old onesD. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century Passage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. A youngster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became so afraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But the criticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it’s like being in a car without brakes（刹车）. The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sends a double message. He is also saying : “I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t want you to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy（隐私权）and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels that she must read her daughter’s diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels（毛巾） from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him his due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.111.According to the passage, parents owe their children the following things except______.A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. information about their body112. The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are incharge of themselves because_________.A.they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB.there is no one to guide and discipline themC.they are afraid of being left aloneD.there is no one to ask for help when in trouble.113.Which of the following ways is advised for parents to show love to their children?A. Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask forB. Never embracing older childrenC. Refusing something to the childrenD. Never criticizing children.114.The word “due” in the last paragraph means_________.A. something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB. reasonable explanations or plansC. what must be given to someone because it is right or wrongD. the money to be paid115.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own livesat an early age.B. Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C. Children shouldn’t be corrected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D. It is better to compare a youngster to his bright brothers becauseit makes him try harder.Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worse you’ll be wasting a powerful tool —the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this. 116. The main idea of the text is that ________ .A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB. it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD. the camera has made film making easy and possible117. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage?A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.118. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?A. It can move easily.B. It can make small things look larger.C. It can show things in the future.D. It can give us a scene of realism.119. In what way are plays different from film?A. Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.B. Films can show the past whi le plays can’t.C. Films change scenes while plays don’t.D. Film audience can move while play audience can’t.120. A suitable title for this text is _______.A. Stage Plays and FilmB. The Powerful CameraC. Fewer Plays, More FilmsD. Less Waste, More FreedomPassage3If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd(奇数) one. B esides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亚).The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them and to avoid embarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.121. In Poland, if a man gives some odd red roses to woman as a present, it means that he _____.A. will invite her to a dinner partyB. has not been in love withherC. will invite her to a ballD. has fallen in love withher122. If a Brazilian puts his thumb and index(食指) into a circle, it shows that he _____ you.A. will be friends withB. is not satisfied withC. is willing to helpD. is satisfied with123. In Poland, it is _____ for the hostess to remove the cover of the bunch of flower somebody presented to her.A. impoliteB. politeC. expectedD. unexpected 124. In Bulgaria, if a man nods, it means that he _______ with you.A. will have a talkB. disagreesC. will shake handsD.agrees125. The sentence “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” means that _______.A.we should learn from the RomansB. we should work as the Romans doC. we should obey its customs when we are entering a country.D. we have been RomansEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand —he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual （视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely（仅仅） choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(生坏疽的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something —all of which mean that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 126. All artists are common in that _____.A. they use shapes and colors instead of wordsB. they are trying to teach the publicC. what they want to teach is difficult to explainD. they want to learn from the public127. A painter chooses certain shapes and colors out of the countless billions possible because he believes they _____.A. are beautifulB. can bring delight to himC. are worth showing to the publicD. are particular128.Contemporary artists choose subjects _____.A. without reference to the character of their subjectsB. that only provide an interesting patternC. that there is no meaning in itD. partly for the meaning of the subjectsparing the painter who paints a gangrenous leg with the one who paints a lake in moonlight,we can draw the conclusion that _____.A. both convey the same meaningB. both show certain aspects of the worldC. the latter is more meaningfulD. the former is more meaningful130.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The public could share the artist’s feelings through their choiceof shapes and colors.。

大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：（1 ）The frightening rise in crimes of violence throughout the country has caused more and more people to arm themselves. They buy guns to protect their homes and to carry with them for personal safety when traveling. Unfortunately, instead of safety, what the new handgun owner too often gets is personal tragedy（悲居lj）. As I found out in my reading, a handgun does not protect the American home very well. The home handgun is far more likely to kill or injure family members and friends than anyone who breaks in, and is especially harmful to young adults and to children.Because 90 percent of break-and-enters take place when no one is home, the handgun bought for defense is very often stolen. According to some statistics, each year about 100,000 handguns are stolen from ordinary citizens. These guns then enter the criminal underworld（黑社会）and are used in more crimes. Thus, the citizens who lost guns is helping to arm the criminal class.As a New York City police officer recently pointed out to homeowner who asked if he should buy a handgun to protect his home, too often it is the homeowner himself who ends up getting shot and killed, because he most often warns the robber by saying something like "Stop!" or "What do you think you're doing?,, Possibly, the thief turns and fires.In street crime, the use of a handgun for defense is very risky, with the defender often losing the gun and having it used against him. The handgun owner seldom even gets the chance to use his or her gun because the moment of surprise is always with the attacker. In fact, trying to use a handgun to keep someone off makes the risk of death quite a bit higher.For the ordinary citizen, using a handgun is seldom helpful for defense on the street. And, in the home, the only way to get real defense from a personal handgun would be to have it always at the ready, perhaps in hand loaded and ready to fire every time there is a knock on the door. That is not exactly the American way or my idea of a civilized（文明的）society.1.Why do people arm themselves according to the passage?a.Because they want to use guns to protect their personal goods.b.Because killing animals is their favorite sport.c.Because the number of crimes of violence is still small.d.Because people intend to attack others.2.More often than not, what the handgun brings its owner is.a.safetyb. tragedyc. luckd. happiness3.It can be understood from the passage that.a.self-defense is of no useb.home handguns do more harm than good to ordinary peoplec.stolen handguns are usually thrown awayd.handguns are no longer needed4.If a citizen uses a handgun to protect himself in street crime, he will probably.a.be safe and soundb.kill the attackerc.risk his lifed.hurt other people instead5.The passage is mainly about.a.how criminals get guns from ordinary citizensb.why the handgun is not essential for home defensec.when street crime is most likely to happend.how handguns protect people's lives(2 )A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.6.The first paragraph tells us that.A.the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB.it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC.children and parents are trying to understand each otherD.it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other7.In a more traditional society, old people.A.have their children respect and listen to themB.do not care for their children at allC.expect their children to rebel against themD.do not live together with their children8.In American society young people.A.do not need to find jobsB.leave home at an early ageC.have better education than their parentsD.marry people younger than them9.Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A.Young people like to depend more on themselves.B.Parents do not love their children dearly.C.American society changes rapidly.D.Parents expect too much of their children.10.The main idea of the passage is.A.that the generation gap needs consideringB.when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC.why the generation gap existD.how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语（此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项, 请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。
