广东省10-11学年高一下学期英语期末复习检测（阅读理解） Ⅲ 阅读（共两节，满分40分） 第一节：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） A In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic(学业的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job. However, in the past four years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs. Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance(保险) and paid vacations. However, "Times have changed and it's a new market," according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center. The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines(下降) in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy. In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can only hope the value of their degree will increase over time. 41. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _____. A. skills B. interests C. chances D. ideas 42. Which of the following majors has the best job offers? A. teaching B. accounting C. political science D. computer science 43. Ryan Stewart will have to ____________. A. change his major B. get a job teaching C. go back to school D. become a religious leader 44. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____________. A. the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree B. most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs C. having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travelling D. a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job 45. The main idea of the passage is that _________. A. a lot of graduates are losing their jobs B. Ryan Stewart has been able to find a job C. salaries in some fields have increased in the past year D. the job market has changed greatly over the past four years B Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages. In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice, does no exercises, and makes no judgment. He is completely passive （被动的）and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part. Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it? There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society. 46. The main function of paragraph 1 is to __________. A. introduce the theme of the whole passage B. summarize the whole passage C. arouse the reader’s interest D. state the primary uses of TV 47. Television, as a source of entertainment, is __________. A. not very convenient B. very expensive C. quite dangerous D. relatively cheap 48. Some people are against TV because ___________. A. TV programs are not interesting. B. TV viewers are totally passive. C. TV has more disadvantages. D. TV prices are very high. 49. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that _______. A. it is very cheap B. it controls our lives C. it keeps us informed D. it enables us to have a rest 50. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on ___________. A. where we buy it B. how we think about it C. how we make use of it D. where we make use of it C What will man be like in the future——in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. 　　Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. 　　Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. 　　On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. 　　But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. 　　Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 51. The passage mainly tells us that____. A. man’s life will be different in the future B. future man will look quite different from us C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. the functions of man’s organs(器官) will function as well as today 52. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing? A. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner. B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years. D. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker. 53. The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because__________ A. he makes use of only 20 % of the brain’s capacity. B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due（预定的） time. C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries. D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on. 54. Which of the following is true about a human being in the future? A. He thinks and feels in different way. B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses. C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful. D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t use them. 55. It can be inferred from the passage that __________. A. future life is always predictable（可预测的） B. human beings hope for a change in the future life C. human beings will become less attractive in the future D. Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（衰退） 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下列有关婚姻的观点，按照要求匹配信息。并将答案填写在答题卷标号为56-60的相应位置上。请注意： E填涂AB， F填涂AC A. Being unselfish is very important to make a marriage work. B. Becoming a person of independence and pride leads to a successful marriage. C. Being able to communicate makes a marriage happy. D. Divorced people will live an incomplete life. E. Marriage is the result of extended love. F. Divorce results from a lack of responsibility. 以下是五个人关于婚姻的讲述，请将他们的讲述和以上观点匹配。 56. Megan Sometimes I think that successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It’s a shame because marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain characteristics to make it a success, such as responsibility and sense of humor. It partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be maintained. 57. Amanda One thing I think that is important to successful marriage is that you should not always think of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes me know there are many times he would rather read, relax, or work on the car, but he only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do special things for him. I feel very fortunate to have married him. 58. Nicole My husband is my best friend, with whom I share most of my thoughts. We find it easy to talk about most things, so we don’t have many secrets from each other. When my mother makes him upset he dose not hesitate to tell me. Things like that are easier to deal with when they’re out in the open than when they’re kept inside. Thus, we have a very open, comfortable relationship. 59. Samantha I feel sorry for what my divorced friends have lost. No matter how earnestly the former spouses try to “keep in touch”, no matter how generous the visiting privileges for the parent who does not win custody of the children, the continuity of their lives has been broken. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their lives; they are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a snapshot. 60. Ashley The very first trick to a happy marriage is to be a person of yourself who does not imagine a husband is necessary to make you magically complete. Successful partnerships are not between those who cannot live without each other, but between those who can live with each other. There is no room even in daydreams for the stupid idea that there is on earth only one mate intended for another. Ⅲ 阅读（共两节，满分40分） 41.

Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行证) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (装饰物) shining against the green of a pine. “Where did it come from？” I asked. “I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…” The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (不够美观地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas. “It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.” “Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.” It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect. 41. From the passage, we can infer that ________. A. the writer spent his Christmas during the war B. soldiers did not all go home for Christmas during the war C. all the soldiers had three-day passes D. the writer could not go home for Christmas 42. When the writer got home, ________. A. it was December 23 B. it was snowing heavily C. he found a Christmas tree in the living room D. the Gates boy was cutting a Christmas tree for his mother 43. From the passage, we can conclude that ________. A. the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas trees B. his mother didn’t like perfect trees C. his mother didn’t want to have a tree D. the writer wouldn’t have a tree cut by someone else 44. “All Christmas trees are perfect”, because they can remind you of ________. A. the wartime B. the green of a pine C. the pleasant smell D. the sweet home 45. The best title for this passage would be “________”. A. How to Choose a Christmas Tree B. How Soldiers Spent Christmas C. The Perfect Christmas Tree D. The Christmas Without a Tree ( B ) In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievement and confident that their degree would help them find a good job. However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in years. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.

Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed and it’s a new market,” according to Cheryl Allmen- Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. Allmen-Vinniage says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several internships（实习）, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. “I’d like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in bad economy.” he said. In conclusion, these days, to some students a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time. 46. The word in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. skill B. interests C. opportunities D. applications 47. Which of the following majors can get a job easily? A. teaching B. accounting C. political science D. computer science 48. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ________. A. the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree B. most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs C. having a college degree does not qualify one for travel discounts D. a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job 49. Ryan Stewart will have to ________. A. change his major B. get a job teaching C. go back to school D. become a religious leader 50. The main idea of this passage is that ________. A. a lot of graduates are losing their jobs B. Ryan Stewart has not been able to find a job C. salaries in some fields have increased in the past year D. the job market has changed dramatically over the past 4 years ( C ) Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the cleverest? There are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. In one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails. This is called a delayed- response text. The idea is to find out how long an animal’s memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants had the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours. To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps (chimpanzees) ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants’ slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals. From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephant’s brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimp’s brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant----more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ! 51. Which is the best title ? A. The Elephant’s Memory B. The Cleverest Animal C. Judging Intelligence D. The Chimp’s Brain 52. The main idea of this passage is that ________. A. there are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals B. chimps and elephants have the best memory C. intelligence tests show that the chimp is the cleverest animal D. the scientists designed a huge maze and ran the chimps and elephants through it 53. The delayed-response test is designed to test an animal’s________. A. eyesight B. intelligence C. learning ability D. memory 54. The passage tells that elephants ________. A. never forget things B. are more clever than chimps C. are slower-moving than chimps D. have better memories than chimps 55. According to the passage, a rhinoceros (犀牛) that weighs 2100 pounds, and has a 3-pound brain is ________. A. as clever as a chimp B. more clever than an elephant C. less clever than an elephant D. as clever as an elephant 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。 阅读选项A到F六则广告和第56至第60题中的个人情况说明，选出符合个人意向的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余选项。 注意：选项E用AB代表，选项F用CD代表。 A B C D E F 请阅读以下申请者的信息，然后匹配申请者和他/她拟要的申请意向： 56.

The duck had flown to the southern state of Florida for the winter．A hunter shot it on January fifteenth and took it to his home in the city of Tallahassee．He put it in the refrigerator(冰箱)．Two days later the man’s wife opened the refrigerator door．The duck lifted its head and looked at her．It was alive! The family took the duck to a doctor who treats animals．The doctor gave the duck to the Goose Creek Animal Sanctuary(动物保护区)．Animal sanctuaries provide homes for animals and teach people about their care． The doctor said it was easy to understand why people thought the duck was dead. He said ducks generally do not move a 1ot，especially after being shot．And he said its low body temperature helped it survive in the refrigerator． That was enough to make the duck famous around the world．The Tallahassee newspaper published the story that was re-printed in many different countries．But that was not the end of the story． Workers at the wildlife sanctuary named the duck Perky．And they got the doctor to give an operation to repair the duck’s damaged wing．During the operation，Perky stopped breathing--not just once but two times．The doctor tried to save Perky by giving her oxygen．But he finally said the duck had died．A few seconds later, however, Perky began to move．Reports say the people in the operating room were so happy that they cried. Workers at the wildlife sanctuary say Perky will not have any more operations. It seems the drugs that were used had side-effects on her．Perky is expected to live at the sanctuary．And a local company has begun to sell T-shirts showing a picture of the lucky duck. Money from the sale of the shirts will help pay for Perky’s care． 41．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Animal sanctuaries are homes specially for wounded animals． B．The hunter shot the duck in the wing． C．Ducks do not move at all for the whole winter. D．The hunter’s wife intended to free the duck in the refrigerator． 42．The underlined Word “That” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that______. A．the duck survived the shot and the cold in the refrigerator B．the hunter had saved the duck by freezing it C．the hunter shot the duck from Canada D．the Tallahassee newspaper published the story 43．The duck in the story______． A．was big and strong B．flew to Florida for food C．stayed in the refrigerator to keep its body temperature low D．was considered dead before being put in the refrigerator 44．．What is the best title for the passage? A．Save the Duck B．The Lucky Duck C．Stop Killing Ducks D．The Poor Duck 45.. It can be inferred from the passage that_______． A．the local company will get large profits by selling the T-shirts B．it was illegal for me hunter to shoot the duck C．the duck is likely to be well cared for in the sanctuary D．Perky likes Florida better than Canada B Napoleon Bonaparte died on May 5, 1821, on the island of St. Helena off the coast of Africa. He was 51 years old at the time. When doctors examined Napoleon’s body, they said that the former emperor of France had died from cancer of the stomach. That was the cause of death recorded in the official report. However, other doctors disagreed. One doctor who was present during the examination of the body said that Napoleon died of hepatitis. Other historians and medical experts have suggested that Napoleon died of syphilis, tuberculosis, or perhaps malaria. Now, after careful research, a British chemist thinks that Napoleon might have been poisoned -- not by a person, but by his wallpaper. Napoleon was sent to the island of St. Helena in 1815 after he lost the battle of Waterloo. He was a prisoner on the island. Although he had servants to attend to him, he had to live in one small building. St. Helena is a very wet island, so the walls of the building were always covered with mold. Napoleon became ill from spending too much time inside his house. Almost constantly he had a fever, chills, and felt sick to his stomach. He often felt pain in his shoulders and in his side. His skin turned yellow. He got frequent headaches, and he would become dizzy and vomit(吐). None of the medicine that the doctors gave Napoleon seemed to help. They were not sure what was the matter. Finally, Napoleon was too weak to leave the house. One night, while he was sleeping, he went into a coma and died. Many doctors who later reviewed the reports of Napoleon’s illness found that the symptoms(症状) did not show a man who suffered from stomach cancer. It seemed obvious that Napoleon had died from some other cause. In 1961, a Swedish doctor examined some of Napoleon’s hair and found a high level of arsenic, a chemical poison. Was Napoleon murdered? It is doubtful. Arsenic was used in many types of medicine during Napoleon’s time, so he might have taken the arsenic as a cure for his illness. Then, in 1982, Dr. David Jones from England began to look into the mystery and suggested that Napoleon might have breathed in arsenic which was in the air of his house. In the 1700s and 1800s, arsenic was used to make a kind of green paint used on cloth and wallpaper. If the paint was used on a wet wall, the arsenic would go into the air. A person in the room might breathe that air. After studying the wallpaper in the room where Napoleon died, Dr. Jones found high levels of arsenic in the green paint on the walls. 46. Why did Napoleon live on St. Helena? A. He owned the island. B. He was a prisoner there. C. His family lived there. D. He liked the island. 47. The official report said that Napoleon died of____________. A. cancer B. a coma C. mold D. poison 48. Napoleon suffered from the following symptoms except __________. A. chills B. fever C dizziness D. bleeding 49. According to Dr. Jones, how did the arsenic probably get into Napoleon’s body? A. He drank it.. B. He touched it. C. He breathed it in. D. He ate it 50. The passage says that . A. a British doctor thinks he has found the cause of Napoleon’s death B. many doctors have tried to guess the cause of Napoleon's death C. Napoleon could have died from poison D. all of the above C Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered, “Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide. “Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift. Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors. Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do. I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice. 51. What do you think of the writer? A. Stupid. B. Honest. C. Conservative. D. Polite. 52. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true? A. The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her. B. The writer’s answer made the student confused. C. In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question. 53. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher? A. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. B. Because the writer was insincere. C. Because the student was naughty. D. Because the answer was difficult to understand. 54. What’s the main idea of the text? A. A student’s silly question. B. A good teacher who likes students. C. A confused student. D. The reason why I teach. 55. We can infer from the text that _________. A. the writer was also a good teacher in school B. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond C. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students D. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home 第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。 以下是News in Brief栏目的新闻： News in Brief A.

The study of Fudan University, one of China’s top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dante’s “Follow your own path and don’t worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto. This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop.” Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need. Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part in children’s growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character. 46．The study shows _________.

Turn on the TV, and Korean beauties are appearing during peak viewing times(黄金时段). Some of the dramas are being repeated, but audiences continue to watch them. Why are the South Korean TV series loved by so many Chinese people? Cheng Yiting, a student from East China Normal University, gives us her reasons. She thinks that the good-looking actors with cool clothes and the beautiful sight in the dramas are the selling points for South Korean TV dramas. But what attracted the young audiences most is the pure and moving love stories. And it seems that South Korean TV series have also won the hearts of middle-aged people. They are touched by the morals in the shows. These include the importance of respecting elders and social order. Though some people think South Korean TV series are too slow and too long, most of the Chinese audiences like them. Maybe we are really tired of Western TV series. Compared with that, South Korean TV series are not bad. 51．What does the underlined word "moral" in the third line mean? A．志向 B．情节 C．道德 D．垃圾 52．Which of the following is not mentioned about South Korean TV? A．Love B．Morals C．Social order D．Self-respect 53．What is the most important reason why South Korean TV series are popular with the young audiences? A．The series are slow and long. B．The actors wear cool clothes. C．The stories are pure and moving. D．The actors are good-looking. 54．What do you know about South Korean TV series from the passage? A．Thirteen more South Korean TV series will be introduced to China. B．Young audiences like South Korean TV series better than middle aged people. C．All the South Korean TV series will be repeated this year. D．Some Chinese think part of South Korean TV series are worth watching twice. 55．What does the writer want to tell us? A．We are tired of South Korean TV series. B．South Korean TV series are a great success and popular in China. C．South Korean TV series are better than Chinese TV series. D．We can learn a lot from Korean TV series so we need to watch them again and again. C Goal chances came and goal chances went. But two of the world’s highest-ranked teams—with some of football’s highest-paid players—couldn’t get the ball into the net. And they were playing against sides that only just made it to the World Cup. With two defeats, one draw（平局）and no goals, France collected its newest title since rising to the top of the game four years ago: the worst defending champion in World Cup history. “I’m very disappointed, it’s the end of a beautiful story,” said a French striker David Trezeguet. “The story began in 1998 and ended today against Denmark.” France won the 2000 European Championships and was ranked the best team on the planet before the World Cup. Besides the goalposts and crossbars seeming to be against this unlucky team, France’s game plan has been the same for four years so opponents (competitors) know it by heart. Senegal, an African team playing in its first World Cup, surprised everyone by beating France in the opening World Cup match before entering the second round successfully. Uruguay and Denmark followed a similar strategy to stop France, creating a defensive barrier（屏障）and launching many counter-attacks. Following France, Argentina became the second big-name to take an early plane home from this year’s World Cup. The South Americans were expected to become world champions for a third time. This was particularly because of an impressive display when they lost just one of their 18 qualifying matches. The team’s 1-0 loss to England on June 7 was the beginning of a nightmare for the players. But even after this surprising defeat, they never thought that they would be going home so soon. But a 1-1 draw in Argentina’s final group match against Sweden made the unexpected a reality. 56．By saying “two of the world’s highest-ranked teams” in the first paragraph, it means A．Senegal and Denmark B．Uruguay and Denmark C．England and Sweden D．France and Argentina 57．Which of the following statements about the French team is NOT true? A．The French team won a great victory in 2000. B．The French team got its title “the worst defending champion in World Cup history” four years ago in 1998. C．The French team was the champions in the last World Cup. D．In this World Cup, French team’s balls hit the goalposts and crossbars. 58．From the passage we know . A．France was defeated first by Denmark and then by Senegal B．Uruguay beat France and was defeated by Denmark C．England beat Argentina and drew the next one D．Sweden didn’t beat Argentina but kicked it out 59．The underlined word “strategy” refers to . A．the way to persuade others to follow them B．the purpose with which they joined in the games C．the art of planning operation in matches D．the suggestion the people of their own made 60．Argentina was expected to become world champions because . A．they won almost all the games in the tryout（预赛） B．they had won champions in World Cup three times C．they lost the game to England only by 1—0 D．they beat a strong opponent—Sweden D Death Valley ls one of the most famous deserts In the United States，covering a wide area with its alkali sand．Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level，and Badwater, a salt water pool， is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States． Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”--- the land of fire．Death Valley's present name dates back to l849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasant- ness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place． Here nature created a lot of surprising scenes，almost like the sights on the moon, every changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about，showing the most unusual colors．One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground，as evening shadows move and lengthen． 61．______ is the lowest place in the desert． A．Tomesha B．Death Valley C．Nevada D．Badwater 62．The name of the valley comes from ___________． A．an Indian name B. the death of the miners C．the local people D．a National Movement 63．From the passage we can learn that____________． A．no one had ever known the desert before the miners B．it's still not easy to travel across the desert C．people can find gas-stations，cafes and hotels in the desert D．people have changed the natural sight of the desert 64．Devil’s Golf Course is famous for____________． A．the frequent wind B．the colors of the sand C．dream-like sights D．the sand sculptures 65．From the passage we can see that the writer______________the Death Valley． A．appreciates B．is fearful of C．dislikes D．is tired of 第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答卷上写上对应题号的相应选项。首先，请阅读下列应用文。 A. “Just do it!” — This slogan（口号）speaks out to teens.

For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants. 　　Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer. 　　On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. 　　Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost. 　　41．Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection？ 　　A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.　　B. Building roads and hotels is essential. 　　C. Support facilities are highly necessary. 　　D. Planning is of great importance to tourism. 　　42．The underlined word“ inhabitants” （in Paragraph 1 ） probably means____________. 　　A. tourists 　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. passengers 　　C. population 　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. citizens 　　43．Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____________ . A. a bad effect on other industries 　　 B. a change of tourists’ customs C. over-crowdedness of places of interest　　 D. pressure on traffic 　　44．It can be inferred from the text that _____________ . 　　A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fast 　　B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction 　　C. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism much 　　D. we can't build too many support facilities 　　45．The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ____________ . 　　A. waste a lot of money 　　B. weaken their economy 　　C. help establish their customs 　　D. help improve their life B Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don’t show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour，but when you're asleep， your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in． If you go to sleep on your back，you’re a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don’t like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You’re quite shy and you aren't very confident． If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person．You worry a lot and you're always easily upset．You’re very stubborn（顽固的），but you aren't very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time． If you sleep curled up（卷曲），you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive．You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt． If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You’re usually careful． You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people． 46．According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality __________. A．only in a normal night B．only when you go to sleep C．only when you refuse to show yourself to the world D．only when you change sleeping position 47．Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person's personality？ A．He or she is always open with others． B．He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others． C．He or she is always easily upset． D．He or she tends to believe in others． 48．Point out which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach？ A．He or she is careful not to offend others． B．He or she doesn’t want to stick to his or her opinion． C．He or she can't be successful in any business． D．He or she likes to bring others happiness． 49．Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up．Why？ A．He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you． B．He or she is rarely ready to help you． C．He or she prefers staying at home to going out． D．He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you． 50．It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because ________________． A．he or she always shows sympathy for people B．he or she is confident，but not stubborn C．he or she has more strengths than weaknesses D. he or she often considers annoying people C How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help. “Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes. Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life — it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance. According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food. “We need carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.” 51. From the paragraph we know that working women . A. think cooking is especially complicated B. do not share the same views with registered dietitians C. are busy and not interested in cooking D. are likely to eat healthfully 52. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that . A. it contains only a small percentage of real juice B. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real oranges C. it is largely orange-colored sugar water D. it produces nothing but calories 53. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means . A. an effort with no results B. a search for a diet without fruits C. a research on fruitless diet D. a diet serving as medicine 54. Many women take it for granted, according to passage that . A. a balanced diet can result in being fat B. staying thin and healthy are both possible C. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin D. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food 55. By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means . A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value C. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals D. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use 第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。 The people below are all looking for a hotel in Scotland for their holidays.

C。推理判断题。第三自然段第4句You usually live for today not for tomorrow 表明，这种人目光短浅、得过且过，难有建树。 49. A。推理判断题。根据第四自然段，此种人属于神经质内向型，很难相处。 50. B。推理判断题。根据第五自然段，此种人心理素质好，清楚地知道自己的优缺点。坚持正确的主张不是固执。 C【答案与解析】 51—55 CBADD 职业妇女忙，对做饭不感兴趣，许多妇女想当然地认为维他命是一种食物的代替品。 51.C。推理判断题。从第一自然段可以知道职业妇女忙，对做饭不感兴趣，从第一段的“have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves”(即没有愿望也没有时间为她们自己做 饭)，可以看出C项正确。 52.B。推理判断题。橘汁和橘汁饮料的区别在于橘汁是自然的，有营养的，是直接从橘子中 来的。橘汁和橘汁饮料的区别在第二自然段中曾经谈到过，即橘汁饮料“contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely colored sugar water”(只包含很少比例的真正橘汁 ——其他大都是加了色素的糖水)。因此，相对而言，橘汁是natural, nutritious and prepared from oranges(天然的、有营养的、直接从橘子中来的健康饮料)。 53.A。细节理解题。a fruitless search 意思为“没有结果的努力”，文中第四段谈到“试图寻找一种可以包治百病，又能使你成为超人的食谱是徒劳的”。因此，a fruitless search表示毫无结果的努力。fruitless的引申意义为没有结果的，徒劳的。 54.D。细节理解题。许多妇女想当然地认为维他命是一种食物的代替品。文中第四段提到 “As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.”。 55.D。主旨大意题。通过引用“要是没有燃料，光有火花是不行的”。作者的意思是没有碳 水化合物，蛋白质和脂肪，维他命和矿物质没有用处。文中最后一自然段在谈到碳水化合物、 蛋白质、脂肪和维生素、矿物质的关系时，作者将碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂肪比作木材、燃 料，维他命和矿物比作火柴、火花。引用专家的话说，“要是没有燃料，光有火花是不行的”。 第二节　信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 56—60.

On the wall hangs a photo of my father. “When is Rick going to be here?” My mother asks, referring to my husband.  “I don’t know, Mom,” I answer patiently. “He’ll be here for dinner.” I sigh and get up from the table. This is at least the tenth time she has asked that question.  While my mother and daughter play, I busy myself making a salad.  “Don't put in any onions,” Mom says. “You know how Daddy hates onion.” “Yes, Mom,” I answer.  I scrub(洗擦) off a carrot and chop it into bite-size pieces. “Don't put any onions in the salad,” she reminds me. “You know how Daddy hates onion.” This time I can’t answer.  My mother had been beautiful. She still is. In fact, my mother is still everything she has been, just a bit forgetful. I cut off the end of the cucumber and rub it to take away the bitterness. Cut and rub. This  is a trick I have learned from my mother, along with a trillion other things: cooking, sewing,  dating, laughing, thinking. I learned how to grow up.  And I learned that when my mother was around, I never had to be afraid.  So why am I afraid now?  I study my mother's hands. Her nails are no longer a bright red, but painted a light pink. Almost no color at all. And as I stare at them, I realize I am feeling them as they shaped my  youth. Hands that packed a thousand lunches and wiped a million tears off my cheeks.  Now my hands have grown into those of my mother's. Hands that have cooked uneaten  meals, held my own daughter's frightened fingers on the first day of school and dried tears  off her face.  I grow lighthearted. I can feel my mother kiss me goodnight, check to see if the window is locked, then blow another kiss from the doorway. Then I am my mother, blowing that same kiss to Anna.  Outside everything is still. Shadows fall among the trees, shaped like pieces of a puzzle. Someday my daughter will be standing in my place, and I will rest where my mother now sits.  Will I remember then how it felt to be both mother and daughter? Will I ask the same question too many times?  I walk over and sit down between my mother and her granddaughter.  “Where is Rick?” my mother asks, resting her hand on the table next to mine. And in that instant I know she remembers. She may repeat herself a little too much. But she remembers.  “He’ll be here,” I answer with a smile.  46. What’s wrong with the writer’s mother? A. She is very old. B. She suffers forgetfulness. C. She is absent-minded. D. She is eager to see Rick. 47. What can we learn about the writer’s father according to the passage? A. He might have passed away for years. B. He goes out for a walk by himself. C. He is out doing something with Rick. D. He loves the writer’s mother deeply. 48. The underlined sentence “I realize I am feeling them as they shaped my youth” probably means that ______.  A. Mother’s hands witnessed my growth as a youth B. Mother’s hands are similar to mine as a youth C. I like to feel mother’s hands when she was young D. I realize her hands were exactly like those in her youth 49. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s mood towards her mother? A. Content. B. Disappointed. C. Loving. D. Considerate. 50. The best title for the passage would be ______. A. Mother’s beauty B. My father hates onion C. Hard-working mother D. Mother’s hands B In England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus. Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, You might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume (认为) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋转) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to express “yes” — a nod means “no”. In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting, talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult — it’s just not done. Attitudes to women vary considerably around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home. Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (礼节). 51. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because ________. A. they didn’t know the English language B. the bus conductor told them to jump the queue C. they didn’t know the custom of lining up for a bus D. they thought they were looked down upon 52. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “insulting” in Para. 1? A. Modest. B. Entertaining. C. Misunderstanding. D. Rude. 53. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage? A. In Europe, using the left hand is considered less respected. B. In India, the left hand is not used as a sign of respect to others. C. In Thailand, you’d better cross your legs when sitting or talking. D. In Japan, it is considered bad manners to touch the head of an adult. 54. The underlined sentence “Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty” means in Bulgaria _______. A. you are probably thirsty if you nod your head B. you’re possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head C. you probably refuse to drink when you nod your head D. you’d like to have a cup of tea because you nod your head 55. We can infer from the passage that _________. A. in Asian countries, women are equal to men in every field B. learning a language well is a necessity before going abroad C. attitudes to women vary from country to country D. in Japan, men are still the centre of the family C PALO AITO, California—“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said last week. A study of 192 third and fourth grades, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.91 kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet. “The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University. “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinson said. In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies’ annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise. “One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson added. 56. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is ______. A. to report the time children spend watching TV B. to show that more TV time leads to getting fatter C. to tell us the best way to reduce weight D. to introduce the background of the research 57. According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV ____. A. is more than four hours a day B. is less than four hours a day C. doubled in the last twenty years  D. is more than on any other activities 58. The time the 100 children spend on TV every day is about _______ in the study. A. a quarter of an hour B. four hours C. three hours D. one hour 59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ? A. Weight increase owes to the result of a reduction in TV viewing. B. The percentage of children getting fatter has doubled in the last 20 years. C. Children usually eat less while watching TV. D. Children usually eat nothing while watching TV. 60. The main idea of the passage would be ______. A. less TV time helps reduce children’s weight B. fewer meals is a must in reducing children’s weight C. the less you eat, the thinner you will be D. more exercise is of great benefit to reduce weight D We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are nauseating(令人作呕的). When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food. Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists(人类学家) try to discover the hidden reasons for taboos. Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic(游牧的) people who move around will not want to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and the meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads. 61. What’s the main topic of this passage? A. Food and religion. B. Food and culture. C. Nutrition of different foods. D. Different ways of life. 62. Which of the following statements is TRUE about food likes and dislikes? A. They are seldom related to nutrition. B. They are mostly associated with people’s taste. C. They are mostly connected with people’s life styles. D. They are usually related to cultures or religions. 63. The underlined word “taboo” (Line 3, Para. 3) refers to _____. A. something undiscovered B. certain religions C. something forbidden D. certain foods 64. What can we infer from the passage? A. It is believed that brcoccoli is more nutritious than tomatoes. B. Americans prefer tomatoes to beef. C. People in Inner Mongolia would probably like to keep pigs for food. D. The famous boxer Muhamm Ali would like to eat rat rather than butterfly. 65. Why do Americans prefer to eat beef? A. Because beef provides a lot of energy people require. B. Because beef is on the list of the most nutritious foods. C. Because they have the ideal condition to keep and ship cattle. D. Because cattle are large animals. 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下列应用文及相关信息, 并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。 首先，请阅读下列电影简介： A.

Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy. Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word-for-word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English .As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in. After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems ,they began to write poems in Latin .Because Milton was already a poet at ten ,his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645. 41．What does the passage mainly tell about? A．How John Milton wrote “Paradise Lost”. B．How John Milton studied Latin.

For many years, scientists couldn't figure out how atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living things. Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules, but they are put together in a more complicated way than the molecules in the primitive ocean. What's more, living things have energy and can reproduce, while the chemicals on the Earth 4 billion years ago were lifeless. 　　After years of study, scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases. These are molecules with millions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. How could such complicated molecules have been formed in the primitive soup? Scientists were stumped. 　　Then, in 1953, two scientists named Harold Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth. They set up some tubes and bottles in a closed loop, and put in some of the same gases that were present in the atmosphere 4 billion years ago: water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen. 　　Then they shot an electric spark through the gases to simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth, circulated the gases through some water, sent them back for more sparks, and so on. After seven days, the water that the gases had been bubbling through had turned brown. Some new chemicals were dissolved in it. When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained amino acids-the very kind of molecules found in all living things. 46. When did scientists come to realize how the atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living thing? 　　A. 4 billion years ago. B.1953. 　 C. After seven days. D. Many years later. 47.

A. atoms and molecules B. chemicals　 C. plants, fish, dinosaurs and human beings D. the primitive souSports shoes that find out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK. The shoes — named Square Eyes — contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts. The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.” Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps. Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended(推荐) daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time. Existing pedometers （计步器） normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.” 51．According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ____. A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer B．deal with overweight among teenagers C．prevent children from being attracted by the TV programs. D．prevent children from being tricked by TV program 52．Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes? A．They control a child’s evening TV viewing time. B．They determine a child’s daily pocket money. C．They have raised the hot issue of overweight. D．They contain information of the receiver. 53．What is emphasized by health experts in their suggestion? A．The exact number of steps to be taken. B．The exact number of hours spent on TV. C．The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time. D．The way of changing steps into TV watching time. 54．Compared with other similar products, the new design ____. A．makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat B．counts the wearer’s steps through shaking C．records the sudden movement of the wearer D．sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver 55．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time B．Smart Shoes Guarantee(保证) More Exercise C．Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise D．Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweigh 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余选项。 注意：选E在答题卡上同时涂黑A和B，选F在答题卡上同时涂黑C和D。 首先，请阅读下列杂志的信息： A.

For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as danger and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions, the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated. “Kids have to be online. If we tell our kids they can't be allowed to surf the Internet, we're cutting them off from their future,” said an expert. Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener”. But this can't be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet. A few other tips: —Don't put the PC in a child's room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity. —Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online. —Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number. And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along. 61. Who is this article written to? A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Researchers. D. Children web fans. 62. What is the main subject about the passage? A. Opposing children's online. B. Internet in America. C. American children going online. D. Appreciating the Internet. 63. What is the best way to protect children from improper material? A. To talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong. B. To be nearby when they are surfing the Internet. C. To fix a content screener on the computer. D. To buy some search engines for children. 64. Which of the following is right according to the passage? A. Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children. B. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having ways to the Internet. C. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them. D. Children's not having chances to go to the Internet may have effect on their progress. 65. According to the passage, we can infer that ________. A. software fit for children want programming B. the Internet contains a lot of harmful sites C. the Internet will be protected by law D. a child who is online is in danger B Why should you learn Sign Language? Do you want to improve your communication with a family member or friend who is deaf? Do you want to be able to communicate with deaf people in general? Would you like to advance in your career by being able to communicate in ASL? Do you want to be a Sign Language interpreter? Sign language is not just a random (随意的) collection of gestures but a full-blown (完全成熟的) language in its own right, complete with its own grammatical rules. Each country or region has its own sign language, as different from each other as English is from Spanish. Each version of sign language is somewhat linked to the spoken language in its region. For example, American sign language does share similarities with English, even though it is its own language. The advantages of knowing sign language in addition to a spoken language are many. Communication becomes possible on many levels with the deaf community, with other people either hearing or not in any of the above situations, as well as many more. While other languages take years to learn, American Sign Language can be taught in a much shorter time period. It is one of the easiest languages to learn because most of the signs were developed to mimic the actual word or phrase it is representing. Even the alphabet signs look like the letters of the English alphabet. American Sign Language, or ASL, is the third most used language in the United States. Used by the deaf community, interpreters, and friends and family of the deaf. There are a lot of sites on the internet that not only shows you the sign with video, but will help you practice reading signs as well. Teaching even hearing babies sign language seems to be the fashion in recent years and for good reason. Communicating in sign language is fun and natural as babies naturally use body gestures in early communication. Teaching baby sign language actually appears to enhance the learning of verbal skills and brain development of the children involved. 66. Which two regions share similarities in their sign language? A. Spain and Britain. B. Mexico and USA. C. Australia and Canada. D. Japan and Korea. 67. Sign language ________. A. is a collection of gestures B. is easier to learn than English C. is not very popular in USA D. has no link to the spoken language 68. One of the reasons for learning sign language is that it ________. A. increase self-confidence B. provides more choices of career C. trains brains D. is interesting 69. Babies’ learning sign language cannot ________.

Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw material for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound end up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic. Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded (被丢弃的) plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence post, paint brushes, etc. As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life — and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without enough markets to take in materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually reduce prices for used materials. Fewer landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management choice. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal (清除，处理), which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and reduces the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a better raw material. 71. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers? A. A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling. B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.
