第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
When I was 14, I was hired for an after-school job selling subscriptions（征订）to my hometown paper, the Houston Post. I was sent to some of the city’s worst neighborhoods to “beg” door to door. Even though I was often moving around with difficulty after dark in bad areas 36 for garage apartments, I was 37 for the work.
It was a 38 because people didn’t like a stranger knocking on their door, 39 a kid trying to get them to buy something. Once a man shut his door heavily in my face and 40 , “I don’t want your damn paper!” I 41 myself to knock again and was able to tell him how 42 the paper was. I ended up selling him a subscription.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at least 25 percent of the nation’s wealth. This cl ass has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich”－families that have been wealthy for several generations－an aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockefellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion(深居简出), drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower-upper class is the “new rich”. Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich are anxious to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige(威望) is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.
However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, paintings, and sculptures. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind －all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-fight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreign Relations, and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions.
56. According to the author, the “old rich” get richer ___________.
A. through the Social Register
B. through their reputation
C. by investing their inherited wealth
D. by collecting paintings and sculptures
57. The reason why the “old rich” look down upon the ‘new rich” is that ___________.
A. the former are wealthier than the latter
B. the latter sweat themselves to make money
C. the “new rich” have no interest in arts
D. the “old rich” are conscious of being members of the upper class
58. The upper class is also called the out-of-sight class because ____________.
A. they keep away from the general public
B. they spend most of their time abroad.
C. they don’t communicate with any people
D. they move frequently from place to place
59. We can learn from the passage that ____________.
A. the upper class is powerful and influential
B. the upper class collects rare books to make money
C. the upper class holds all top government positions
D. the “old rich” make much more money than the “new rich”
B
About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: "So, how have you been?" And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied, "Frankly, I've been fe eling a little depressed lately.’’
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence o f a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike any more. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
60. According to the author, feeling depressed is _____.
A. a sure sign of a psychological problem in a child
B. something hardly to be expected in a young child
C. an inevitable phase of children's mental development
D. a mental state present in all humans, including children
61. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _____.
A. through contact with society
B. gradually and under guidance
C. naturally and by biological instinct
D. through exposure to social information
62. Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information.
B. It develops children's interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to memorize and practice more.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
63. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A. He feels amused by their premature behavior.
B. He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.
C. He considers it a positive development.
D. He seems to be upset about it.
C
Abby Subark is a mother of two from Boston. “For my kids, I’m nervous. I don’t know if they’ll be able to achieve their American dream.” She may be right. More than hard work or education, the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich.
It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income, poor scores, in the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade, is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores. That’s what the working person’s children are up against.
The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status. That’s about 200 years. The hallmark (特征) of American opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries, the United States ranks fifth out of six for so-called intergenerational mobility (变动).
If you look at the mechanisms (机制) for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago, they are becoming out of reach, like plentiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care.
White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile. For most people in America today, where you end up depends on where you start.
If you started in the middle-income class, about 40 to 45 percent of what you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle-income class. The rest is up to you.
But for the millions of people who find themselves below the poverty line (贫困线) and the millions more who are the working poor, their starting point for the American dream leaves them painfully far away from the middle class.
64. The main idea of the passage is _______.
A. How the middle class comes about in the U.S.
B. It’s hard to realize the American dream for the poor.
C. Wealth and social status depend on family background.
D. Upward mobility in America is never easy.
65. Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People used to have job opportunities and welfare for upward mobility.
B. A great many poor people can hardly realize their American dream.
C. You can make all your dreams come true in America if born rich.
D. Rich kids are more likely to go to college than poor kids.
66. The underlined sent ence “where you end up depends on where you start” most probably means _______ .
A. Your starting point cannot determine your destination.
B. Only a high goal can ensure success.
C. One’s birth has nothing to do with his fate.
D. One’s family lays solid fo undation for his future achievements.
67. What can we infer after reading the passage?
A. Poverty causes people much pain.
B. People below the poverty line can never be in the middle class.
C. Lower starting point makes it hard for people to realize their dream.
D. Poor people’s starting point is too low.
D
In the 1960s, people asked about your astrological sign(星相). In the 1990s, they wanted to know your website(网址). These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. Like the table of contents of a book or a magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages. Depending on how you design it.
While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(大标题) GRAOGUC. Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, texts, and links to other websites follow.
Before you start building your site, do some planning. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.
While there are no rules you have to follow. There are a few things to keep in mind:
Start simply If you are too ambitious at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.
Less is better Most people don’t like to read a lot of text online. Break it into small pieces.
Smaller is better Most people connect to the Internet with a modem(调制解调器). Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small.
Have the rights Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Learn the Net’s Copyright Article for more about this.
Now it’s time to roll up you sleeves and start building. Learning the Net Communities provides tools to help you build your site.
68. The main purpose of the passage is to tell you ______.
A. what a website is like
B. how to build your own website
C. how to meet people online
D. what a website is made up of
69. According to the writer, you website is a place_____.
A. where you can meet people all around the world
B. where you can buy what you want
C. where you can get free services
D. where you can meet people on the Internet
70. The purpose of the home page of you website is _____.
A. to give a list of all the contents of your website
B. to make it look like a front door
C. to direct people to more of your pages
D. to design the cover of a book or magazine
71. The writer thinks that if you are too ambitious at the beginning______.
A. your website may leave no space for adding new things
B. you may never have your website working
C. you may have no idea how to build your website
D. you may tire yourself out
E
Most of us are used to seasons. Each year, spring follows winter, which follows autumn, which follows summer, which follows spring. And winter is colder than summer. But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience.
Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now. During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling. Ice melted during the warm periods, which made sea levels rise. Water froze again during the cold periods.
A new study from Switzerland sheds light on where ice sheets melted during the ice age.
It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northern or southern areas. This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern.
Scientists have long assumed（认为）that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere（半球）during the 30,000-year-long ice age. That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land. If surrounded by sea, the ice can easily just slip to the ocean instead of building up.
The researchers used a computer model to look at the ways the ice could melt and how it might affect sea levels. They compared these results to evidence (迹象) of how temperatures and currents actually changed during that time.
The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would be a bigger effect on ocean currents (洋流) and sea temperatures than what actually happened. Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too.
The only reasonable conclusion, the scientists could make, was that the ice melted equally in the North and the South.
It is still a mystery as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt.
72. We can learn from the text that .
A. we have experienced temperature cycles since they began.
B. what caused ice to melt is still unknown
C. the planet was much colder than it is now between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, during which time
temperature hardly changed
D. before the new study, scientists long believed that ice melted just in either northern or southern areas
73. The underlined phrase “sheds light on”(in Paragraph 3) can be replaced by .
A. throws doubts on
B. beats down on
C. makes it clear
D. makes light of
74. The first two paragraphs were written
A. to lead up to the subject that ice melted during the 30,000-year-long ice age
B. to describe what the weather was like during the ice age
C. to compare climate nowadays with that of the ice age
D. to explain what a temperature cycle is
75. Which of the following best shows the relationship between ice, ocean currents and temperatures
according to the text?
A. Ice can easily slip into the ocean.
B. Temperature and currents changed as a result of ice melting.
C. Temperature changes lead to ice melting or water freezing, which in turn has an effect on ocean
currents and temperature.
D. Ice melted and then froze again due to temperature.

One possible version:
Nowadays, more and more middle school students are crazy about famous stars. Recently our class have had a heated discussion about whether middle school students should admire famous stars.
60% of the students approve of the idea of admiring famous stars. They believe if they talk about famous stars they like, they can feel excited, happy and relaxed. Some even think famous stars have some talents and have become their models. Besides, they think only by admiring famous stars can they be up to date with the fashion and have a better grasp of more social cultures.
However, some other students argue against that. They think some students admire famous stars so much that they have their names on their faces or copy the life styles of stars, which costs them a lot of money and wastes them a lot of time. So being crazy about famous stars will make them lost. Worse still, some students even follow the bad examples of the stars. It follows that they fall into bad habits.
In my opinion, it’s really ridiculous for students to have such kind of behavior. Everyone is unique and there is no point in copying anyone else, however famous they are.。
