第二郜分：阅读理解（第一节共20小题；第二节共5小题，每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
The Good Deal Dilemma（进退两难的局面）
I am a strong believer in bargain shopping. I like to buy high quality Christmas paper every year in January when it goes 75％ off. Even though I could save more by buying the superstore Christmas paper at a bargain price，it is worth it to me to get the nice paper and I am happy with my decision．
I bought 10 sets of Christmas china that were marked at 75 percent off plus an additional l0 percent. It was an amazing deal. When I got them home，I found they took half a closet to store. I already have nice china that I can use at Christmas. I decided it wasn’t worth it to me to use that much space for something that I would only use a couple of times In the year. I took them back and now I have more money in my checking account as well as some luxury towels I have wanted for a long time. I would have saved myself the time of taking the china back if I had figured out before hand what I really wanted， but it is sometimes hard to decide at the moment .This experience helped me to realize that you can actually save time and money by passing up bargains.
The main advantage of getting things on sale is that you can afford 1uxuries that you can’t afford at regular price. My Christmas tree is covered with beautiful handmade Santa Claus ornaments（装饰物）. I found them at a store about 15 months ago and fell in love with them. I imagined how beautiful they would look on my tree. I wanted to buy some, but they were ＄13.95 each . It didn’t fit into our Christmas budget（预算），so I gave up the idea. Through the next few months, the price kept dropping until it went down to ＄2.95.When I saw that price，I bought 25 of them right away. I waited another nine months to put them on my tree，but in the end, I got exactly what I wanted for an excellent price. Instead of paying around ＄350，I ended up paying around ＄ 75. Patience paid off.
41. According to the example given h the second paragraph，one should＿＿＿.
A. pay attention to the exact marked price of goods
B. figure out how much space the thing you buy will take up
C. try best to save time and money by bargain shopping

China now has 350 million smokers， accounting for one—third of the world total. Chinese smokers now become addicted（沉溺于） to nicotine at the age of 19， five years earlier than the average starting age of 24 in 1997.
Of the 1.1 billion smokers all over the world，more thin 800 million are in developing countries. And as the world’s largest developing country, China al-so has the largest number of smokers.
Some frightening facts start to appear when we examine who China’s smokers are. Of the 350 million addicts, more than 100 million are under the age of 18, while more than 50 per cent of male teachers and doctors are smokers.
Such a high rate of addicts among male teachers and doctors will certainly have a bad impact on the young generation．
Teachers are usually expected to be role models for students who tend to consider whatever they do is right and follow their example, It is very likely that the number of teenage smokers win increase in the near future unless measures are taken to forbid teachers from smoking in front of their students or designate（指定）schools as no—smoking zones.
What is truly puzzling is why so many doctors smoke . They are aware of the results of the habit, such as high blood pressure and lung cancer.
Their example only helps justify the addiction of so many others.
If educated people set an example by stopping smoking at least in public places, it would be much easier to drive home the notion that it is uncivilized to smoke in public places.
In China, there should also be a national law to ban smoking in public places.
These would make a massive contribution to cutting the number of people in China who are smoking themselves into early grave（坟墓）．
（China Daily 05／31／7006 page4）
49. The best title of the text should be .
A. Time to kick the habit
B. China bans smoking In public places
C. Smokers in China
D. Make people aware of smoking
50. In developing countries, China has the largest number of smokers, which covers
.
A. one-third of its total B. one-eighth of its total
C. less than half its total D. more than half its total
51. In the writer's opinion, who have influenced young smokers, especially those under 18?

C. Teachers and doctors. D. Advertisements
52. Which of the following statements are NOT true according to the text?
A. In China, those who get into the habit of smoking seems to be younger and younger．
B. More than half of teachers and doctors are smokers in China.
C. The writer suggests schools should be designated as no－smoking zones.
D. It is of great benefit to forbid smoking in public places。

According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means“to bring into being , to cause to exist something each of us does daily。”
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something In a new way. First this includes an awareness（意识）of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（质地），as well as taste，when we plan a meal. Above all，it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression，“There is nothing new under the sun，the creativity is remaking or recombining（重组）the old in new ways. For example，we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture，or we might make a new combination of camera leases and filters to create an unusual photograph.”
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas，to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing；to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included In all the great works of genius（a person of very great ability），but they are also included In many of our day－to一day activities.
53. Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
A. To prepare for a meal In special taste.
B. To arrange the furniture In a special way.
C. To buy some books from a bookstore.
D. To write a letter with the computer.
54.“There is nothing new under the bun.”really implies that .
A. a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
B. a new thing is only a tale
C. we can seldom create new things
D. we can hardly see really new things in the world
55. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put Into practice？
A. It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B. To find a new thought WI⒒clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C. A marl with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor．
D. One may come up with a new thought，but may not put it into practice。
56. The best title for this passage is .
A. How to Develop One’s Creativity B．What is Creativity
C. The Importance of Creativity D. Creativity，a Not Faraway Thing

Every year there are changes h climate 10 different parts of the world. Some of these changes are due to natural causes. However, some climatic changes are caused by air pollution and these changes may Increase.
If the pollution affects the level of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）In the atmosphere，the results are likely to be serious．Carbon dioxide makes up only a small part of the atmosphere. But it has an important function in maintaining the balance between radiation from the sun entering the atmosphere and radiation leaving the Earth． Some of the radiation is absorbed by the Earth and some is radiated（被辐射）back Into the atmosphere．The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere prevents some of the radiation from leaving the atmosphere. Thus the heat remains in the atmosphere and carbon dioxide helps to prevent the temperature of the Earth from falling.
If the proportion（比例）of carbon dioxide In the atmosphere is increased as a result of air pollution, the temperature of the atmosphere may rise. This might eventually cause the ice in the north and the south poles to melt. If this happened, the sea level would rise and parts of the Earth would be flooded. The likelihood of this happening is remote(遥远的)，but the possibility exists.
There is also a fairly strong possibility that the dust level in the atmosphere will rise as a result of industrial pollution. This dust pollution will reflect sunlight back into space. If this happens, less sunlight will reach the Earth and the temperature will fall.
57．The main purpose of this passage is to tell us that ．
A. the climate of the world is always changing
B. air pollution has greatly affected the climate of the world
C . carbon dioxide has something to do with climate dangers
D. Air pollution endangers the climate of the world
58．From this passage we learn that carbon dioxide .
A. helps to prevent the temperature of the earth from rising
B. keeps much of the sun’s radiation from entering the atmosphere
C. plays an Important part in keeping the balance of the temperature of the earth
D. is one of natural causes of climate changes
59．If the level of carbon dioxide In the atmosphere went down， the temperature of the earth would .
A. become higher B. either rise or fall
C. become lower D. neither rise nor fall
60. Which of the following is the least related to climate changes?
A. Parts of the earth would be flooded one day.
B. Less sunshine would reach the earth．
C. The temperature of the earth might rise.
D. The earth’s vegetation（植被）might be destroyed.

One possible version:
Slang greatly enriches the English language, and is an important part of English. However, as slang is informal, fast-changing and very localized, it often causes confusion and puzzlement to language learners. Therefore, it is no wonder that people have different opinions about whether it is necessary to learn slang. My experience of learning English tells me that slang plays a very important part in the English language, especially in speaking. Being familiar with English slang may make it easier to communicate with native speakers of English. And learning slang helps us to better understand the English culture. Like Chinese idioms, English slang is full of beauty and wisdom which well reflects the daily life of common people in England. What”s more, we can upgrade our English to a higher level simply by mastering some slang. So personally I regard slang as a necessary part of English learning.

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节: 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
The Man of Many Secrets — Harry Houdini — was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater. He was a man famous for his escapes — from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.
Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.
Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.
It was the publicity(宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs(手铐) and toes trained to escape ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck — and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.
Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame, and a name remembered today.
41. According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on ________.
A. his special tricks and supernatural powers
B. his unusual ability and a skeleton key
C. his magic tricks and inhuman powers
D. his wisdom and magic tricks
42. In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this” refers to ________.
A. his first prison escape B. the year 1898
C. the publicity D. Harry Houdini’s success
43. It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous ________.
A. in 1894 B. before he married
C. at the age of 17 D. when he was about 24
44. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Skeleton Key B. Many Secrets
C. World-wide Fame D. Great Escapes
B
Michael stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants（会计）could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living looms.
45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Clerks will be able to work at home.
B. One can play baseball on the computer.
C. One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D. One can borrow books from libraries at home.
46. The sentence "Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible" means _______.
A. Michael is person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
B. Michael is not a real person but the lifestyle does exist
C. Michael has ambitions（雄心）but he can't make his dreams come true
D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays
47. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A. Games and sports. B. Personal banking.
C. Music and films. D. International business.
48. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

Alzheimer's disease is a major national health problem. Nearly 2 million Americans over the age of 65 have Alzheimer's disease. It is a leading cause of death among the elderly. But Alzheimer's disease is not confined (限于) to the aged. There may be a million or more people under the age of 65 suffering from the disease.
At one time, people suffering from the disease were said to be "getting old". The disease was thought to be a natural part of growing old, but it is now known that Alzheimer's disease strikes young and old alike. It is an organic(器官的) disease that destroys brain cells.
Alzheimer's disease affects the patient's memory, speech, and movement. In the beginning stages of the disease, the patient may seem slightly confused. He may have trouble speaking. Then the patient's memory begins to fail. He may forget dates, telephone numbers, names and plans.
As the disease progresses, the patient may not recognize family and friends. These symptoms(症状) often cause terrible anxiety in the patient. He may feel lost and frightened. Sometimes the patient reacts with wild and bad behavior.
In the last stages of the disease, the patient may not be able to take care of himself. He may have lost the ability to speak and walk.
Some of the scientists think a virus causes Alzheimer's disease. At present, there is no cure for the disease. But there are ways to slow its progress. Exercise and physical treatment can help the patients of this disease.
49. Alzheimer's disease ________.
A. a terrible part of the aging process
B. is an organic disease that affects young and old
C. can be cured by physical treatment
D. causes high fever
50. All of the following are symptoms of Alzheimer's disease EXCEPT ________.

D
When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally(非语言地) by making gestures. According to a pioneer in nonverbal communication, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you”.
In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, people often put their thumbs up, which means everything is all right. However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.
In the United States, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger in a circle and the other three fingers spread out means “Everything is O.K.” and is frequently used by astronauts and politicians. In France and Belgium, it can mean “You’re worth nothing.”
There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans usually feel good when speaking with someone if the distance between them is about eighteen inches to arm’s length. Anything closer makes them feel uncomfortable.
When talking to Americans, it is also important to make eye contact. If you look down when talking to an American, he / she may feel that you are embarrassed, afraid, or trying to hide something.
These few examples show that your actions can speak louder than your words. In a particular cultural contest, what you say and what you don’t say are equally important.
53. Which of the following is true?
A. People all over the world only communicate verbally.
B. Most of our gestures have no meaning at all.
C. People often communicate through gestures
D. Gestures are a unique way to communicate.
54. When someone puts his / her thumb up in ______, it means everything is all right.
A. ancient Rome B. the United States C. France D. Belgium
55. What is the meaning of “your actions can speak louder than your words” in the passage means ________.
A. your deeds are better than your words
B. what you do is better than what you say
C. you try to show your best manners
D. you are better understood by your gestures than through your words
56. When you are in another country, ________.
A. it is unimportant to know the language
B. it is important to know a foreigner can certainly understand your gestures
C. to know how to communicate nonverbally is as important as to know the language
D. to communicate through gestures is more important than to know the language

Iceland has energy to spare, and the small country has found a cutting-edge(尖端的) way to reduce its oil dependency. Volcanoes formed the island nation out of ash and lava(熔岩), which heat huge underground lakes to the boiling point. The hot water is piped into cities providing heat for homes, businesses and even swimming pools. The water runs through turbines(涡轮机), providing all the country’s electricity.
Iceland wants to make plans to improve its cars, buses and trucks to run on renewable energy. Iceland has already started by turning water into fuel ----hydrogen(氢) fuel. Here’s how it works: Electrodes (电极) change the water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules(分子). Hydrogen electrons pass through a conductor that creates the current to power an electric engine.
Hydrogen fuel now costs two to three times as much as gasoline, but gets up to three times the distance than gas, making the overall cost about the same. As an added benefit, there is no carbon(碳) ----only water steam.
In the capital, Reykjavik, they are already testing three hydrogen-powered electric buses. The drivers are impressed. “I like these buses better because with hydrogen you get no pollution,” said bus driver Rognvaldur Jonatanison. By the middle of this century, all Icelanders will be required to run their cars only on hydrogen fuel, meaning no more gasoline.
“If we make hydrogen and use that as a fuel for transportation then we can run the whole society on our own local renewable energy sources,”said Marie Mack. Icelanders are showing the world that by making fuel from water, it is possible to kick the oil habit.
57. From Paragraph 1 we may infer that ________.
A. Iceland lacks natural resources
B. volcanoes do more good than harm to Iceland
C. Iceland only depends on oil for energy
D. Iceland’s electricity is made from coal
58. Which of the following is necessary during the period of turning water into fuel according to Paragraph 2?
A. Lava B. Electric engine C. Conductor D. Turbine
59. The cars with hydrogen as fuel ________.
A. are environmentally friendly B. are cheaper
C. run much faster D. will make useful steam
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Pollution saying goodbye to the world.
B. Iceland becoming a country without oil
C. Iceland began to turn water into fuel
D. Man able to kick the oil habit

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Coca-Cola co. , often viewed as a symbol of modern American culture ,said on Thursday it had
acquired a lost 1931 Painting it commissioned from the famous U. S. artist Norman Rockwell.
"The Barefoot Boy" was one of six Rockwell oil paintings commissioned by the soft drink giant between 1928 and 1935. Copies of the painting appeared on nearly 2 million Coca-Cola calendars, on posters and in window displays.
The painting, which shows a grinning（露齿笑）boy in straw hat and suspenders（吊带裤）holding a bottle of Coke and a sandwich, disappeared from public view shortly after it was produced. It was recently discovered in the hands of a retired Virginia executive.
Coca-Cola, the world's No. 1 soft drink company, did not disclose how much it paid for the work, but did say its value was in line with other Rockwell pieces.
"The Barefoot Boy," however, is believed to be worth a little bit more that the $ 345,000 recently paid for "The Dugout," a 1948 Rockwell oil painting.
"This is an exciting and important link to our heritage（传统）by the great artist Norman Rockwell and is reminding of the Coca-Cola Co.'s deep connection over more than a century with the people who enjoy our products," said Coca-Cola Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Douglas Daft.
Rockwell, once criticized by art critics as an over-commercial lightweight, gained widespread fame in the 1930s and 1940s for works that often focused on the slow ebb and flow of life in rural America.
He died in 1978 at the age of 84. Coca-Cola said it was possible "The Barefoot Boy" would be displayed in its World of Coke Museum in Atlanta. The company has previously acquired two of the six Rockwell originals it commissioned.
It said it was still searching for the three missing Rockwell originals.
41．According to the passage, how many oil
paintings did Rockwell paint for Coa-Cola?
A．One.
B．Three.
C．Six.
D．Nine.
42．Why did
Coca-Cola have those paintings painted at that time?
A．To show good will to
society.
B．To show the artistic
taste of Coca-Cola.
C．To use them in
advertisements.
D．To show off its
financial strength.
43．Which of
the following statements about Rockwell's work is true?
A．"The
Dugout" was painted for Coca-Cola by Rockwell.
B．Coco-Cola paid
Rockwell $ 345,000 for "The Dugout".
C．Coca-Cola sent
"The Barefoot Boy" to a Virginia executive.
D．Rockwell's early
paintings were mainly commercial.
44．Why is
Coca-Cola trying to find the paintings?
A．Because those
paintings are of great historical value and worth collecting.
B．Because those
paintings reflect the connection between Coca-Cola and its consumers.
C．Because they were
painted by Rockwell, a famous painter ,especially for Coca-Cola.
D．Because Coca-Cola
needs them in its World of Coke Museum in Atlanta.
B
Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby's life, the stimulus(刺激物)that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile(侧面).
This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four—year—olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan. however, where babies are carried on their mother's back, they do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode(把…编码)or decode(理解)meaning. In fact, Argyle says that the "proper place to focus one's look during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of one's conversation partner."
The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then dance away as they talk; in a few moments they're—establish eye contact with the listener or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then move their look away once more.
Listeners,
meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to
glance away only briefly. It is important that they be looking at the speaker
at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are
not looking, the speaker thinks that they are disinterested and either will
pause until eye contact is resumed (恢复) or will
stop the conversation. Just how critical this eye contacting is to the
maintenance(维持)of conversational flow becomes clear when
two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there may be a sort of traffic jam of
words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.
45. The author is convinced that the eyes are________.
A. of extreme importance in
expressing feelings and exchanging ideas
B. something through which
one can see a person's inner world
C. of considerable
importance in making conversations interesting
D. something the value of
which is largely a matter of long debate
46.Babies will NOT be stimulated to smile by a person__________.
A. whose front view is fully
perceived (感知)
B. whose face is covered
with a mask
C. whose face is seen from
the side
D. whose face is free of any
covering
47.According to the passage, the Japanese fix their look on their conversation
partner's neck because
_______________.
A. they don't like to keep
their eyes on the face of the speaker
B. they need not communicate
through eye contact
C. they don't think it
polite to have eye contact with him or her
D. they didn't have much
opportunity to communicate through eye contact in babyhood
48.According to the passage, a conversation between two Americans may break
down due to________.
A. one glancing away from
the other for the time being
B. eye contact of mole than
one second
C. improperly-timed pause of
eye contact
D. constant adjustment of
eye contact

The human body is a living machine, and like all machines, it needs
"fuel" to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat.
But how much do we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is
usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise
the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 °C. The number of calories people need per day is different, as the
chat below shows. Also. the number of calories you use at any moment normally
depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for
standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on.
The energy in food is
mainly in the form of three kinds of chemical materials-carbohydrate, protein
and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm(calories per gram)of energy, protein
4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm Each food contains different amounts of these
materials, as the second chart Shows.
Chart I
| CALORIES NEEDED PER DAY | |
| BABY | 750 |
| OFFICE WORKER | 2700 |
| CHILD AGED 8 | 2100 |
| WOMAN FEEDING BABY | 2700 |
| MAN OVER 70 | 2100 |
| BOY AGED 16 | 3000 |
| WOMAN | 3600 |
| FARMER | 2600 |
Chart II

| FAT | PROTEIN | CARBOHYDRATE |
| MILK | 30﹪ | 30﹪ | 40﹪ |
| RlCE | 5﹪ | 10﹪ | 85﹪ |
| PEANUTS | 60﹪ | 30﹪ | 10﹪ |
49._________calories
are required to raise the temperature of 5kg of water from 35°C to 90°C ?
A.
55
B.175
C.325
D.275
50.If you lack for calories to support your running activities you’d better take
more ____________.
A.
milk B.
peanuts C.
rice D. milk and rice
51.We may learn from the charts that_______________.
A. a child aged 8 requires
more than 3 times the amount of calories that a baby does
B. a boy aged 16 requires
nearly twice the amount of calories that a boy aged 8 does
C. a mother with a baby to
feed uses up more calories than a hard-working farmer each day
D. an old man needs less
calories than an 8-year-old boy on account of his less movement
52.Which statement agrees with the passage and the charts above?
A. You need more calories
for swimming than for mountain climbing.
B. Food contains energy in
the form of carbohydrates, proteins and fuel.
C. Different people need
different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex , and the
activities
they are in.
D. 3 grams of milk provides
16.6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0
Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm.
D
In the decade of the 1970s, the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem. We humans are destroying the world around us. We are using up all of our natural resources. We must learn to conserve them, or life will be very bad for our children and grandchildren. There are several major aspects to this problem.
Population. Most problems of the environment come from population growth. In 1700 there were 625 million people in the world; in 1900 there were 1.6 billion; in 1950, 2.5 billion; and in 1980, 4.4 billion. More people need more water, more food, more wood, and more petroleum.
Distribution . Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone, but some countries have a lot of water and some have only a little. Some areas get all their rain during one season. The rest of the year is dry.
Petroleum. We are using up the world’s petroleum. We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings in winter. Farmers use petro-chemicals to make the soil rich. They use them to kill insects on those plants. These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there. Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every year. Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it. Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other continents.
Poverty. Poor farmers use the same land over and over. The land needs a rest so it will be better next year. However, the farmer must have food every year. Poor people cut down trees for firewood. In some areas when the trees are gone, the land becomes desert. However, people need wood to cook their food now. Poor people can’t save the environment for the future.
We now have the information and the ability to solve these huge problems. However, this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world. It is a problem for all humans. The people and the nation of the world must work together to conserve the world’s resources. No one controls the future, but we all help make it.
53．We humans are destroying our .
A．environment B．farms C．areas D．desert
54．Most environment problems come from .
A．forests B．population growth
C．too much rain D．good distribution
55．Good distribution means .
A．having things in the right place at the right time
B．cutting down forests and selling them to other countries
C．building water systems to carry water to farms
D．conserving our natural resource.
56．Poor farmers don’ t give their land a rest because
A．they don’t have petro - chemicals to kill insects
B．they need firewood
C．they need more water
D．they don’t have enough land to let some of it rest each year

Put yourself in these tourists’ position. You are walking an icy mountain path in the Alps in Europe. Suddenly you spot a body on the ground, face downward and stuck to the ice. You think someone may have been murdered or in a fatal accident. So you rush back and call the police. The police, however, quickly realize that this body is different form others they’ve found on the mountain. For one thing, it is mostly undamaged. For another, its skin is dried out, like a mummy’s. And with it is a knife with a small stone knife.
The body turned out to be much older than the tourists could have guessed. When specialists had a chance to examine it, they discovered it had been there for about five thousand years!
How could a body stay preserved for all this time? Two things probably helped. First, the place where the man died was somewhat sheltered, so animals couldn’t get at it. Then he was quickly covered by falling snow. Wind blowing through the snow probably “freeze-dried” his body, removing all moisture from it.
Objects found with the body told something about the Iceman’s life. He wore a well-made fur jacket and trousers. He clearly had been hunting, for he carried arrows, and animal bones were nearby. He also had a grass cushion for sitting or sleeping on. Perhaps he was exhausted when he lay down for the last time.
The body was found in 1991, when some of the ice on the mountain melted. Searching for the cause of the Iceman’s death, scientists put the body back into cold conditions — and hoped.
57．The best title for this passage might be __________.
A．What Life Was Like Five Thousand Years Ago
B．The Frightened Tourists
C．The Mysterious Iceman
D．The Mystery of the Alps
58．The Man died in a location that was _____________.
A．near the base of the mountain B．sheltered
C．surrounded by open fields D．cold and isolated
59．The time of the year that the Iceman died was probably ____________.
A．early fall B．late spring C．summer D．winter
60．In this passage the word “moisture” means ___________.
A．skin B． nutrition C． water D． heat

Dear Mike,
How nice to hear from you again. You want to know something about energy saving in China. As you know, with the development of economy, China is experiencing a rapid increase in the demand for electricity, leading to a widespread short supply of electricity. On the other hand, people still lack the awareness of energy—saving, so power cut frequently happens.
To solve the problem, the government calls on the government departments, hotels, companies and households to set their air conditioners at 26℃ or above and suggests that government workers take off the suits and ties while in office. Also, people living in apartments below the third floor walk the stairs or avoid taking lifts, in order to save energy.
In short, the public awareness of environmental protection has been greatly improved and electricity is considerably saved recently.
Yours,
Li Hua

Lifeguard, sportscaster, movie star, governor, president — there wasn’t much Ronald Reagan didn’t do in life.
"The world was a vast opportunity for him," Lou Cannon wrote in his biography (传记) of the former US president, who died on June 5, aged 93.
Reagan’s final years saw him fight a losing battle against Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症). But his positive attitude toward life has given hope to many people.
Born in 1911 to a poor family in a small town in Illinois, his father was a failed salesman who drank too much. It was in these difficult times, though, that Reagan developed the powerful optimism (乐观) that would serve him so well. He always believed better times laying ahead, and this was reflected in his high school yearbook entry. "Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music," he wrote.
As a teenager, Reagan spent summers working as a lifeguard at a local beach, saving 77 lives in seven years. He graduated from college in 1932 with a degree in economics and sociology. But America was still in the middle of the Great Depression, and jobs were hard to find. Reagan finally found work as a radio sports announcer and this road led him to Hollywood in 1937.
During the 20 year film career, he never became a leading star. As in his lifeguard days, Reagan loved to play the hero and only took the role of a bad guy once in more than 50 films.
A talented speaker who was always able to connect with his audience, Reagan became involved in politics in the 1950s. This popular touch led to him being elected the governor of California in 1967.
All the while Reagan was in California, he had his eye on the White House. In 1980, aged 69, he became the oldest man ever elected president.
He held office from 1981 to 1989, the first president to serve two complete terms after World War Ⅱ. When he left, aged 77, he held the highest popularity rate of any retiring president in US history.
He remained positive even when he discovered he had an illness that would destroy him. "I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal (永恒的) optimism for its future," he wrote.
41. Reagan can be best described as a man with______.
A. firmness B. humour C. optimism D. talent
42. What didn’t Reagan do in his life time?
A. Playing the role of a bad guy. B. Being a leading star of the film.
C. Saving people’s lives. D. Working as a radio sports announcer.
43. Which is the correct order of events described in the passage?
a. Reagan fought a losing battle against Alzheimer’s disease.
b. Reagan became an actor.
c. Reagan worked as a lifeguard.
d. Reagan graduated from college.
e. Reagan was elected the governor of California.
A. a, c, d, e ,b B. e, c, d, b, a C. b, a, c, d, e D. c, d, b, e, a
44. When the author of Reagan’s biography says "The world was a vast opportunity for him," he really means that _______.
A. Reagan achieved much in his whole life
B. Reagan could have done much better
C. Reagan did much for America and the world
D. Reagan was a very lucky man
B
His feet had touched the ground again, but South African Mike Melvill's head was still high above the clouds.
Seeing the earth from the edge of space was "an amazing experience'', said the 63-year-old pilot It was more than a personal experience. Melvill and his rocket plane Space Ship One made history last Monday when it became the first private manned flight to reach space.
The spacecraft was carried by a jet until it reached a height of 14kilometers. Then it separated from the jet and continued its journey beyond the earth's atmosphere. The craft reached space by traveling at three times the speed of sound.
On board, Mevill was able to see the earth. He also became weightless for about 3 minutes when the craft reached its highest altitude of 100 kilometers. He even opened a bag of colorful chocolate sweets to see if they would float around in the cockpit (驾驶员座舱) --- they did.
The successful flight brought the design team, led by famous American designer Burt Rutan, closer to winning the US10 million Ansari X Prize. The award will be given to the first privately funded (投资) spacecraft to send three people 100 kilometers above the earth. The spacecraft also has to land safely and repeat the achievement within two weeks.
This is to prove that the craft is reliable and has the ability to carry paying customers. "The flight opens a new chapter in history, putting space within the reach of ordinary citizens," said Patti Smith, head of commercial space transportation at the US Federal Aviation Administration.
It's hoped that this flight is the first step toward space tourism. Members of the public could pay US$20,000-100,000 for the chance to fly high above the earth's atmosphere, float in zero gravity and take in the sights of space.
Rutan thinks that affordable space flights will be possible within the next 10 to 15 years. And that's just the beginning. "We are heading into orbit sooner than you think," he said.
"We do not intend to stay in low-earth orbit for ages. The next 25 years will be a wild ride ... one that history will note was done for the benefit of everyone."
45. The story is about___________.
A. a successful flight into pace
B. the beginning of affordable space flights
C. competition for commercial space transportation
D. the first private rocket plane
46. According to Burt Rutan, what is likely to happen?
A. He'll win the Ansari X Prize.
B. A space flight will cost much less than 100,000.
C. In a few decades, private space craft will travel high in space.
D. The Space Ship One will make another flight within two weeks.
47. The fact that chocolate sweets could float proves ＿＿＿＿
A. the spacecraft was flying faster than sound
B. Mevill was in space
C. Mevill was high above the earth
D. there was a strong wind
48. The title of this passage is _________.
A. Walk in space
B. The first private manned spaceship reached space successfully
C. The first spaceship
D. A manned spaceship reached space successfully

An American researcher has developed a simple device to help people stop snoring. The device limits the movements of the tissues（组织） that cause the unpopular sound .Snoring is a common problem .It may prevent a person from getting enough sleep .It may also prevent enough oxygen from reaching heart and lungs during sleep. But for most people, snoring affects relations with another person who must sleep in the back room.
Snoring happens when the sleeping person breathes with the mouth open .In the back of the mouth the tissues surrounding the entrance of the throat are soft. As the person breathes, the movement of the air around the soft tissues causes them to move or vibrate .This tissue movement causes the sound we call snoring. A number of possible solutions have been proposed. Some devices keep the mouth shut. They force the patient to breathe only through the nose .A medical operation is also possible. Other devices catch the sound of snoring and then wake the patient .The new anti－snoring device was developed by a dentist ,George Wagner of the Indian University School of Dentistry. He developed a piece of plastic that fits up against the inside of the mouth. The device keeps the soft tissues from vibrating and making the snoring noise. It is worn only at night .Doctor Wagner said that the simple device has ended several patients’ snoring problem in a simple way.
49. The underlined word “snoring” (in paragraph 1) probably means .
A. speaking while one sleeps B. dreaming while on sleeps
C. noises made while on sleeps D. sighs given while one sleeps
50. Snoring happens .
A. when dreaming at night ,even during the day
B. when breathing with one’s mouth closed
C. when sleeping with one’s mouth open
D. when being poor in health
51. From the passage we know that the simplest and more efficient way to prevent a person from snoring is .
A. to keep the soft tissues from vibrating
B. to give the patient a medical operation
C. to wake him/her up as soon as he /she snores
D. to make him/her listen to the sound of snoring

Vienna ---In spite of Iraq’s decision to stop oil deliveries, the 11-nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries（OPEC）will not increase production to make up the shortfall, ministers decided Tuesday in Vienna.
The 11 oil ministers decided to meet again on July 3 to discuss the effects of the Iraq temporary stop. The organization’s president, Charkid Kheria of Algeria, said after the meeting that stocks were high and prices were stable, so quota increases were not necessary.
The E.U. Commission has expressed concern about Iraq’s output stop. A speaker said OPEC had to take all possible measures to keep or lower the oil price.
Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Ali Al-Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortfall of oil in the market. The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap, he said. OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the period of Iraq’s output stop was not known, so other exporters were not going to lift quotas yet. If the market was destabilized（使…动摇）, a suitable response could be made.
Iraq on Monday stopped shipments of crude oil to protest against the U.N Security Council’s decision to extend the oil-for-food programme by only a month, instead of the normal six-month renewal. Just before the Vienna meeting, oil prices had gone up, with a barrel of OPEC crude oil selling for 27.05 dollars, up from 26.81 dollars last Friday. North sea oil was at 29.26 dollars Monday evening.
OPEC wants the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars and achieved that with cuts in January and March that reduced 2.5 million barrels per day off quotas （配额）.
52. Iraq made the decision to stop oil deliveries because ___________.
A. oil price is too low in international market.
B. The U.N. Secretary Council has decided to shorten the time of extension of the oil-for-food programme
C. Many oil wells were destroyed during the war in the late 1980s
D. It couldn’t get enough money to develop its economy
53. The attitude the E.U. Commission took towards Iraq’s output stop is ________.
A. active B. concerned C. cold D. surprised
54. The underlined words “ The organization” here refers to ________.
A. OPEC B. the E.U. Commission
C. Vienna D. WTO
55. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. the oil prices in the world were stable though Iraq has stopped oil deliveries
B. OPEC has controlled the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars
C. OPEC will not increase oil production to make up the shortfall that caused by Iraq
D. Oil is connected with people’s daily life
56. The 11 oil ministers decided to meet on July 3 so that _________.
A. they can persuade Iraq to continue oil production

C. they can have a discussion about the effects of Iraq’s temporary output stop
D. they can make up their minds to increase oil production

The best advice young men and women can hear these days is not "Get Rich". It's "Go West".
Those who hope to make their fortunes or, at the very least, find good jobs or life long careers have a better chance of doing so in China ' s western provinces than in the increasingly crowded eastern cities. Along the eastern coast, cities are filled with newcomers looking for work. They seek anything from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-millionaire Internet chance of lifetime. Few have found the latter, and few ever will.
Some 160 years ago, young men and women streamed into New York, Philadelphia, Boston--the United States' equivalent of China's Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were searching for work, for riches; for fame. Few found any of that. The rest joined the masses working hard at low-level jobs trying to support themselves and their families.
Horace Greeley, a well-known American newspaper editor of the period had sound advice for those seeking work. "Do not," Greeley said, "lounge (to stand or sit in a lazy manner) in the cities! There is room and health in the country, away from the crowds of idles (people who waste time doing nothing) and imbeciles (a person of weak mind). Go West …
In the mid- 19th century, when Greeley issued his call to go west, America was about to develop its western regions---much as China is today. Out west, the unemployed could find jobs.
What was needed then in the America West is what is needed now in China's western regions; men and women with determination to make something of themselves, men and women with skills in any developing nation must have to survive and prosper.
It has nothing to do with the Internet. It has nothing to do with becoming a movie star, pop music idol, or a Bill Gates clone. It has everything to do with reality.
57. Why does the author think "Go West" is the best advice for young people in China?
A. If they go west, they are sure to get rich.
B. China's west is richer than its east.
C. Eastern cities are too crowded to live in.
D. There are more chances of success there than in the east.
58. The author mentions young America of the 19th century because
A. he wants young Chinese to learn from them
B. he tries to show how they succeeded in the eastern cities
C. they were poor examples for today's young Chinese to follow
D. most of them preferred to work in the west
59. The underlined word "sound" in the 4th paragraph means
A. what may be heard B. seem when heard
C. produce a sound D. based on truth or good judgment
60. What is needed in China's west now according to the writer?
A. The Internet. B. Movie stars.
C. People with skills. D. Pop music idols.

The following people are expressing their thoughts to show their concern for food, environment and so on．After that are pieces of related information (A--F) ．Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions61---5 and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet．There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
61. How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.
62. More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
63. Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.
64. I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.
65. Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.
A. "Organic produce is always better, "Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.
B. Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C. Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted．Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem．One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
D. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment．Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
E. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green．Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
F. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

六、书面表达
Last week in our English class, we had a very heated discussion on the topic “Does beauty really make much sense?”. Some students think that a good face is a letter of recommendation. Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, social competition, job hunting and so on. Not only can it make you become more confident but also it makes you impressive in the job interview.
Other students hold different opinions. Good appearance doesn’t make any difference. Spiritual beauty is more important. A beautiful person is not necessarily one with good looking, but one with a great talent and kind heart.
As far as I am concerned, both physical beauty and spiritual beauty are very important. What I want to say is that we should never ignore our spiritual beauty training while simply pursuing good appearance.
