One with some office experience.‎ C. One having good computer knowledge D. One trained in producing music programs.‎ B ‎ Are you nervous about climbing because you think it's too dangerous? Do you feel you're not fit enough to climb? Do you know how to start climbing?‎ Let's consider the idea that climbing is dangerous．Being afraid is natural, but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipments you will feel completely safe．Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous．Accidents happen, but when they do, they tend to attract a lot of publicity．As a result, people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality．‎ You cannot expect to start climbing straight away．Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time．It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness．Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing? go to the gym, go swimming, take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period．‎ Discover as much as you can about climbing．Visit the library and find book, especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation．Look up information on the Internet．Find out about equipment, methods and places to go．‎ Next, take a course on a climbing wall．There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors．Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area. These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners. After this, you can do an outside course of joining a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events.‎ At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period, but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled, then you will know it was the right thing to do.‎ ‎4．The article is written by .‎ A. a doctor B. an experienced climber C. a beginner D. a fitness instructor ‎5．The writer thinks a new climber should .‎ A. begin by becoming fit ‎ B. have the courage to meet the challenges C. be aware of the causes of the accidents ‎ D. do enough sports to get interested in climbing ‎6．By climbing walls you can .‎ A. join a club you like ‎ B. gain controlled experience C. become qualified instructors ‎ D. take part in group-climbing events ‎7．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means .‎ A. the climb B. the training C. the equipment D. the achievement C As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.‎ Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.‎ All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.‎ It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.‎ ‎“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”‎ ‎“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”‎ Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?‎ Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”‎ To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.‎ ‎8．The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means.‎ A. getting bored with B. getting dependent on C. becoming crazy about D. getting curious about ‎9．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because ___________.‎ A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China ‎10．Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?‎ A. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.‎ B. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.‎ C. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.‎ D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting ‎11．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?‎ A. To Type or to Handwrite.‎ B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.‎ C. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand.‎ D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.‎ D How long has 3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950’s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveed’un Train.‎ Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-----to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension.‎ But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the child’s developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children aren’t yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.‎ The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.‎ With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.‎ ‎12．According to the text, 3-D technology ______‎ A. was refused by people when it first appeared.‎ B. will soon change the way we watch TV.‎ C. does no good to our visual system.‎ D. has a history of nearly 200 years.‎ ‎13．Paragraph 2 is mainly about________‎ A. how 3-D technology works.‎ B. why 3-D movies are popular C. the history of 3-D technology.‎ D. the influence of 3-D technology.‎ ‎14．What’s the method suggested in paragraph 4?‎ A. To wait and see B. To carry out lab studies C. To stop making 3-D movies D. To improve 3-D technology ‎15．The author’s purpose in writing the text is to _______‎ A. ask children not to watch 3-D movies B. discuss if 3-D viewing is harmful to children.‎ C. introduce the advantages of 3-D technology.‎ D. predict the development of 3-D technology.‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to use speed reading to go through newspapers or magazines? 16 You will not only save time, but also your focus will increase and you will have fun reading even the uninteresting reports.‎ ‎ 17 This plays to the advantage of the tired reader who wants to stay current but has very little time to read. Often all you need to understand a news piece is the first paragraph. Here the reporter will tell you what’s happening, who it’s happening to and where it’s happening.‎ Sometimes you don’t even need to read the entire paragraph because the first sentence or the first couple of sentences give you all the information. If you still have more time you can move on to step two. 18 Read the last paragraph. Some news pieces are follow-ups of events that were earlier reported. In such a situation, the first paragraph may not give you all the information you need. 19 It’s usually in the last paragraph that the user is given the background information that leads to the story.‎ Read the “quotes” after you’ve read the first and last paragraphs and you still feel you need more information or have more time to play with, you can come into middle of the piece by reading the direct speech of the sources of the news item. In all forms of writing where quotations are used, the writer leads the reader into the quotes and then leads the reader out. This takes too much space and therefore, robs the reader out of some precious time.‎ ‎ 20 ‎ A. Read the first paragraph.‎ B. But the last paragraph will do the job.‎ C. The first paragraph may be not important at all.‎ D. Otherwise, you can stop reading.‎ E. Here are three techniques you can use.‎ F. So glide directly to the quotation marks and read what’s within them.‎ G. If you follow these steps, it’s possible to get about 80 percent of a news piece.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题, 每小题1分，共20分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A little boy wanted to meet God.
