A group of women felt that the beauty of San Antonio should be preserved. They formed a club to keep the river from being destroyed.The women saved the river. Then they worked together to preserve several old buildings that were going to be torn down. In the 1930s,the women saved an old mill and granary. They raised money to buy these buildings by giving tea and selling cakes.More cently, the ladies in San Antonio have worked to save a Spanish convient.They could not afford to buy the whole buildings,so they paid for only half .

For Answers 64 to 70 , please read the passage carefully and complete each space in the summary , using a maximum of three words from the passage . Remember to write the answer on the Answer Sheet .(14 marks)Answer 64 to 70 are based on the following passage.Around the world , music therapy is being used to different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain , such as childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or memory loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding to overcome disabities.Classical music is most typically used for therapy due to ite complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or pop might be fun to listen to, it’s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a music instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety.Have scientists been able to prove that music can hea diseaes? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of new born babies and even babies still in the mother’s womb. Currently, music therapy is used in a variety of setting such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers ,nursing homes, day care centers, and schools.Summary:There appears to be some evidence that music is helpful (64) some medical conditions. Therefore, doctors dand patients are turning to (65) to treat various(66) and disabilities. Doctors believe that music with (67) and patterns is more effective. This kind of music seems to (68) more activity in the brain. Although it may be (69) to listen to rap or pop or dance music, doctors prefer to use (70) to treat patients.Part IV Cloze(15 minutes,15marks)Scetion A:Read the following passage carefully, and then fill in the blanks with the proper form of the words given on the right.

Read the passage below and decide which word best fits each blank. Use only one word in each blank. Remember to write the answer on the Answer Sheet.(10 marks)The Museum of ChilhoodThere are 4,000 toys in London’s Museum of Childhood,but it is not essential to be a child to enjoy it. Most of zhe older toys were (76) me to be played with by adults.All the toys live in a beautifull glsstopped (77)bu in the East End of London but it wasn’tbulit for them .It wasn’t until 1974 that the(79)wh building was officially devoted to the histoy of the childhood.Once upon a time ,every toy was homemade,although by the late 1700s a huge toy industry had (80)dev .Many home-made toys wer made of metal and wood and a few of these have lasted well enough for the museum to display them.It even has one of the oldest dools’ houses still in(81)exi,made in 1673.Ther e’s something for everyone, including the 18th century toy theatre and the miniature Chinese gardens, containing tiny (82)ani .Whichever is your favorite, each exhibit enables you to catch a (83)gil of the people and world it was made for.The 35 or so workers at the museum take great care to make sure that all of the exhibit are preserved in good working order.And sa(84) f he 500 new toys that move in every year from all over the world -nobody has ever heard a (85)sin one complaining.Part V Translation (15 minutes,15 marks)Section A:Translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese.Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.(8 marks)Rcently, I saw a heading for an Internet article that read,‖If only I’d bought that stock…..‖Well, sure, hingsight is wonderfull! We all habe it. But the line made me think:(86)How much time do we spend thinking of the many ―if only‖ in our lives? How many regrets flit thoughts? Everyone harbors a few-if only I hadn’t missed this; if only I’d found the time to do that ;(87)if only I’d been first with that idea, instead of just a little too late.―If onlys ‖are exercises in futility. I think it’s better to foll our reveries with all we are glad we did do. Such as, I’m so glad I met my husband. I’m so glad I was born in this time,in this place, to these parents. (88) I’m so glad I have the loving extended family who have been among my greatest blessings.I’m so glad I planted that spindly little magnolia tree 20 years ago. (89)Now it lifts up its arms to the sky and fills my view with pink-and-white beauty. I’m so glad my grandfather planted apple trees 100 years ago. They ,too, are a wonder to behold in any season-alive with honeybees among the blossoms in spring, studded with burgeoning fruit in summer, and weighed low with their delicious rosy bounty in September.Section B:Translate the following sentencesinto English,using the words given in the brackets.Remember to write the anwsers on the anwser sheet.(7 marks)90.谢谢您的邀请,但是恐怕我无法应邀出席。

Historians suggest that thousands, perhaps millions of years passed before animal skins became fashionable. Then, sometime in the dim past, man discovered that the hair of certain animals pressed together stayed together. The fabric known as felt replaced animal skins. No one knows the age of felt - only that it was in use long before Neolithic man learned how to weave cloth a mere twelve thousand years ago.The manufacture of felt is simple. Seen through a microscope, the hair of many animals appears as a barbed strand, the barbsall pointing toward the tip of the hair. When a number of hairs are pressed together, those which lie in opposite directions unite barbs and resist efforts to pull them apart.Legend has it that St. Clement (patron saint of felt makers) discovered felt when, at the beginning of a long journey, he put carded wool between his feet and the soles of his sandals. When he reached his destination, he found no carded wool in his sandals. The wool had been compressed into felt.1. This passage is about ________________________.A) how to weave clothB) the first man-made fabricC) St. Clement, inventor of the scandalD) the manufacture of artificial hides2. Before the invention of felt, man was forced _____________________________.A) to wear clothes of woven fabricB) to swing naked through the treesC) to wear sandals made of carded woolD) to wear the skins of animals3. The manufacture of felt uses ___________________________.A) a chemical reaction between wool and leatherB) pressure applied over a period of timeC) the strange physical characteristics of some animal hairsD) the wool carder and the microscope4. The author considered felt as _________________________.A) the gift of St. Clement to manB) the bridge between animal hides and woven clothC) a strong, lightweight, durable fabricD) a material used for padding sandals5. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to______________________.A) give the age, manufacturing process and origin of feltB) reason why felt was not discovered earlierC) make a comparison of the merits of felt and woolD) show different viewpoints of the importance of felt......。

Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through." she said. "After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life."Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm."The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all 1 need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been leaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing — watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now."68. When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a ______life.A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring69.

A misfortune may turn out a blessing.D. Kill two birds with one stone.(C)A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees (学费)are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £ 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £ 10.000. Average debts for graduates are £ 12,363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said. "The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they arc to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.72. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students' payback ability has become a major issue.73. The phrase "to raise the ceiling" in paragraph 2 probably means "______".A. to raise the student loansB. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuitionD. to lift the school building roofs74. According to Stephen Moir, students_______.A. are too young 10 be exposed 10 financial issuesB. should learn 10 manage their finances wellC- should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance75. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a required course at college.D. Young people should become responsible adults.(D)The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases. combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we'll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or S10 billion altogether.Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol (乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods — tree crops, grasses and wood products — but there's no case for the government to pay to put the world's dinner into the gas tank.Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond —which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather — can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation hind to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.76.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.80.The causes of eating disorders are not clear. There may be genetic or biochemical factors in some cases. There may be psychological problems from early childhood or the present (such as school or family conflicts) that trigger the problem. Often, there is the double pressure to enjoy life through food and yet remain ultra-slim. Society all around us encourages eating and drinking as main ways to enjoy life- To be popular, you are supposed to eat. eat, eat81. But in real life most people, if they keep consuming like that, just keep pulling on more and more weight They then find themselves in conflict with another dominant pressure in society — to stay slim and trim. Models in ads, even those shown eating fairy foods, are usually physically lit and quite thin. All of these pressures put teens in a terrible situation. The ".solution" that some teens choose is to deny themselves all the time so as to keep temptation away. Bui soon, hunger and food boredom lead to overeating. Over time they develop anorexia or bulimia.82. Once an eating disorder has become firmly established, there is no easy cure. Someone who's never suffered anorexia and never known an anorexic might be tempted to think. "It's simple — just tell them to eat more!" Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Even when anorexics have been brought into the hospital and arc receiving physical care, nutritional therapy, and psychiatric care, many don't improve much.83. Our society's obsession with thinness, together with a constant emphasis on the theme that rich food means pleasure, puts many teens in a difficult situation. Being drawn to overeating on the one hand and self-denial on the other can bring about anorexia or bulimia — or both.Anorexics seem to feel that no matter how much weight they lose, they are still too fat Therefore, it is important for each person in our society to try to maintain a healthy and realistic self-image. Don't compare yourself with the models and actors in the media Set your sights more realistically by comparing yourself with family and friends, if anyone.84.Self-denial is the typical first step toward an caring disorder. Eventually, desires for what you've denied yourself become unbearable, and you react with either a binge or overly fierce self-control. The answer is not of course, to eat all the snacks and treats you fancy. But 10 avoid that first step that leads to overeating, strive for a good and healthy diet Such a diet is based primarily on grain products, fruits, and vegetables, with moderate amounts of meat and dairy products and with small amounts of snacks and desserts. Research demonstrates that mis kind of diet leaves you more alert and energetic.第Ⅱ卷(45分)I.

Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain , such as childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or memory loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding to overcome disabities.Classical music is most typically used for therapy due to ite complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or pop might be fun to listen to, it’s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a music instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety.Have scientists been able to prove that music can hea diseaes? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of new born babies and even babies still in the mother’s womb. Currently, music therapy is used in a variety of setting such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers ,nursing homes, day care centers, and schools.Summary:There appears to be some evidence that music is helpful (64) some medical conditions. Therefore, doctors dand patients are turning to (65) to treat various(66) and disabilities. Doctors believe that music with (67) and patterns is more effective. This kind of music seems to (68) more activity in the brain.

Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through." she said. "After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life."Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm."The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all 1 need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been leaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing — watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now."68. When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a______life.A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring69.

A misfortune may turn out a blessing.D. Kill two birds with one stone.(C)A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found thai most of them are ignorani when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a scries of reports from NatWesl that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees (学费)are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £ 31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £ 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £ 10.000. Average debts for graduates are £ 12,363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said. "The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they arc to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweathcr. aged 15. from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted thai she still had a lot to learn about money.72. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students' payback ability has become a major issue.73. The phrase "to raise the ceiling" in paragraph 2 probably means "______".A. to raise the student loansB. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuitionD. to lift the school building roofs74. According to Stephen Moir, students_______.A. are too young 10 be exposed 10 financial issuesB. should learn 10 manage their finances wellC- should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance75. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a required course at college.D. Young people should become responsible adults.(D)Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond — which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather —can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation hind to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.76. An international fund based on the Malawi model would______.A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per yearB. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries In a yearC. decrease the food prices as well as the energy pricesD. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds77. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that ______.A. it is not wise to change food crops into gasB. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tankC. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any wayD. biofuels should be developed on a large scale78. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry wealB. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help poorC. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.D. It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not.79. In the passage, the author calls on us to______.A. slow down but not to stop economic.B. develop tree crops, grasses'and wood productsC. achieve economic growth and political stabilityD. act now so as to relieve the global food shortageSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is80.The causes of eating disorders are not clear. There may be genetic or biochemical factors in some cases. Theremay be psychological problems from early childhood or the present (such as school or family conflicts) that trigger the problem. Often, there is the double pressure to enjoy life through food and yet remain ultra-slim. Society all around us encourages eating and drinking as main ways to enjoy life- To be popular, you are supposed to eat. eat, eat81. But in real life most people, if they keep consuming like that, just keep pulling on more and more weight Theythen find themselves in conflict with another dominant pressure in society — to stay slim and trim. Models in ads, even those shown earing fairy foods, are usually physically lit and quite thin. All of these pressures put teens in a terrible situation. The ".solution" that some teens choose is to deny themselves all the time so as to keep temptation away. Bui soon, hunger and food boredom lead to overeating. Over time they develop anorexia or bulirnia.82. Once an earing disorder has become firmly established, there is no easy cure. Someone who's never sufferedanorexia and never known an anorexic might be tempted to think. "It's simple — jusi tell them to eat more!" Unfortunately, it's not thai simple. Even when anorexics have been brought into the hospital and arc receiving physical care, nutritional therapy, and psychiatric care, many don't improve much.83. Our society's obsession with thinness, together with a constant emphasis on the theme that rich food meanspleasure, puts many teens in a difficult situation. Being drawn to overeating on the one hand and self-denial on the other can bring about anorexia or bulimia — or both. Anorexics seem to feel that no matter how much weight they lose, they are still too fat Therefore, it is important for each person in our society to try to maintain a healthy andrealistic self-image. Don't compare yourself wiih the models and actors in the media Set your sights more realistically by comparing yourself with family and friends, if anyone.84.Self-denial is the typical first step toward an caring disorder. Eventually, desires for what you've denied yourself become unbearable, and you react with eiiher a binge or overly fierce self-control. The answer is not of course. 10 eai all the snacks and trcais you fancy. But 10 avoid that first step that leads to overeating, strive for a good and healthy diet Such a diet is based primarily on grain products, fruits, and vegetables, with moderate amounts of meat and dairy products and with small amounts of snacks and desserts. Research demonstrates that mis kind of diet leaves you more alert and energetic.第二卷(45分)I.

Researchers named her Hobbit,after the tiny heroes of the Lord of the Rings books.Now the team is saying it has unearthed even more pieces of the puzzle ,including a jawbone and parts of arms ,legs and hands from several individuals, as well as stone tools .They reported their find in Nature this month. “The new evidence makes it very clear that these people are a new species ,distinct from modern humans,”Peter Brown, a scientist on the team ,said. They named these ancient humans Homo floresiensis.Brown says that these little people lived as recently as 12,000 years ago.If Homo floresiensis was a different species from modern humans, that would make our family tree bigger than we knew. It means, says Brown, that “until recently ,a relative shared the planet with us. ”Many scientists think a new species is unlikely .Some argue that the bones must have belonged to modern humans whose small size was the result of a genetic problem.Daniel E. Lieberman,a scientist at Harvard University,thinks that the debate over the discovery is healthy. He believes that the questions and arguments raised by critics will help us learn more about these unusual skeletons.”Disagreement is an important part of the scientific process,”Lieberman said.“ As far as I’m concerned,the story’s only just begun. ”72. Researchers name the skeleton Hobbit because ______A. it is a figure described in the Lord of the RingsB. it resembles the tiny heroes in a set of booksC. it proves to be a full-grown adultD. it belongs to an ancient human species73.

History of Indonesian People(D)Rail passengers are being forced to pay thousands of pounds more in fares as a result of poor advice from the national telephone helpline and individual stations, a consumer organisation reveals today .Research by Which? found that in some cases passengers are being charged almost double the cheapest price because of errors made by staff .Which? asked 25 questions of both station staff and the National Rail Enquiries (NRES) helpline.Only half of the 50 questions were answered correctly. If customers had followed all the advice given ,they would have been £1,263.60 worse off .Bad advice was given for the cheapest fare for a single journey between London and Grantham .For a ticket bought on the day of travel,both NRES and a King’s Cross station clerk quoted GNER’s £44.50 fare ,ignoring a Hull Trains service which leaves 10 minutes earlier and costs just £20.Some of the most costly misinformation was given for journeys where season tickets should have been recommended .Passengers making a return journey between Swindon and Penzance twice in a week could buy a ticket from one company for £70 which would cover all the travel. But both NRES and station staff quoted £67 for each journey, making £134.However, the NRES website proved to be a much more reliable source of information .Which ? also checked “the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket” claims by five companies and found this was not always the case .On some services, prices went up and down at random .Ithiel Mogridge,52,gave one example of poor advice :”Last Christmas I found my brother a ticket on the to travel from Blackburn to Yate. While the direct route was £51, this one involved a change in Newport and cost just £21. I emailed the details to him and his partner.They went to Blackburn station ,where the clerk insisted the fare was £51.”Malcolm Coles, editor of ,said :”Staff training needs to be improved.In the meantime ,we’ve designed a checklist, available at / railadvice. “76.

For the viewer it’s an opportunity to “people watch”.It’s natural to like watching other people. They’re interesting.We can imagine what we would do in that situation.We get to know the characters and see them grow and develop week after week.And of course, television is the perfect place to watch people.Like the theatre or cinema we can look at other people and they can’t look back .But with television, we can watch in the privacy of our own homes, We watch,but we don’t have towhich advertisers like.The last “Big Brother”in Britain attracted enormous advertising revenue. They aren’t dependent on “star” actors with enormous salaries. And your actors wo n’t go on strike. And why do people participate in them ?Well ,for fame and money of course.In the past ,appearing on television wasn’t for ordinary people.You had to be good at something ,like sport, or reading the news, or acting .But not any morevaries from country to country too. For example ,one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father,and another had a family arguing over an inheritance .Both were cancelled after oneepisode.Perhaps the novelty has worn off.Certainly, reality TV seems to appeal much more to the younger audience. And now there are so many shows around even the young have become more critical. Reality show will probably survive—it’s just no longer so easy to make a successful one .第Ⅱ卷(共45分)Ⅰ.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English ,using the words given in the brackets . 1.你擦一下窗好吗?(mind )2.有困难请向警察求助。

No one knows the age of felt - only that it was in use long before Neolithic man learned how to weave cloth a mere twelve thousand years ago.The manufacture of felt is simple. Seen through a microscope, the hair of many animals appears as a barbed strand, the barbs all pointing toward the tip of the hair. When a number of hairs are pressed together, those which lie in opposite directions unite barbs and resist efforts to pull them apart.Legend has it that St. Clement (patron saint of felt makers) discovered felt when, at the beginning of a long journey, he put carded wool between his feet and the soles of his sandals. When he reached his destination, he found no carded wool in his sandals. The wool had been compressed into felt.1.
