Yet they are still too slow for some people to send urgent documents (紧急文件)and letters.‎ ‎   The invention of the fax (传真) machine increased the speed of delivering documents even more. When you send a fax，you are sending a copy of a piece of correspondence to someone by telephone service. It was not until the early 1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able to fax documents to each other.‎ ‎   The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent ,but as a way of fast correspondence, it has been largely taken the place of by email ,Email is used to describe messages sent form one computer user to another.‎ ‎   There are advantages and disadvantages with emails. If you send some one an email , then he will receive it extremely quickly .Normal postal services are rather slow as far as speed of delivery is concerned.‎ ‎    However, if you write something by email, which you might later regret ,and send it immediately, there is no chance for second thoughts. At least, if you are posting a letter you have to address and seal(封)the envelope and take it to the post box. There is plenty of time to change your mind .The message is think before you email!‎ ‎41.

I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动的)people. We are always trying to surprise each other. ”‎ After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Eddy’s astonished roommate asking what she was doing.‎ Eddy, a 27-year-old engineer, had taken year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Anna, a 26-year secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site(工地) and started saving for a surprise.‎ He then flew home to Britain and went to her flat armed with engagement(订婚) ring, wine and flowers.‎ ‎“I really missed Anna and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I was so excited when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.‎ Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,” she said.‎ Anna was given a tour of Sydney by Eddy’s friends before going back home. Eddy had to stay in Britain for two weeks because he could not change his ticket.‎ ‎45. What does the last sentence of the first paragraph tell us?‎ A. Anna flew to Britain from Australia to marry him.‎ B. Anna flew to Australia from Britain to marry him.‎ C. Anna flew to Britain from Australia to propose to him.‎ D. Anna flew to Australia from Britain to propose to him.‎ ‎46.

Eddy met Anna in the airport waiting room by chance.‎ C If you’re like most students, you probably read both at home and outside your home: perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks. Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding, so give some thought to how you can create(营造)or choose the right reading environments. The right environment allows you to stay alert(专注的) and to keep all of your attention on the text, especially when it is both interesting and difficult.‎ When you’re at home, you can usually create effective conditions for reading. You might want to choose a particular place—a desk or table, for example—where you always read. Make sure the place you choose is well lighted, and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight. Reading in a chair that’s too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy! Keep your active reading tools (pens, markers, notebooks or paper) and a dictionary close at hand.‎ Before you sit down for a reading period, try to reduce all possible interruptions. Turn off your phone, the television, and the radio. Tell your family members or roommates that you’ll be busy for a while. If necessary, put a “Do not disturb” sign on your door! The more interruptions you must deal with while you read, the harder it will be to keep your attention on the task at hand.‎ ‎49. The author believes that the right reading environment_________.‎ A. helps readers a little in their reading tasks B. helps readers a lot in their readers a lot in their reading tasks C. can only be created at one’s home D. can only be created outside one’s home ‎50. Which type of the following interruptions is mentioned in the text?‎ A. Dictionaries.     B. Paper.               C. Phone calls.      D. Notebooks.‎ ‎51. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. How to read fast                            ‎ B. Creating an Effective Reading Environment C. The Ways to Reduce Possible Interruptions D. What to Read D In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.‎ The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty（贫穷）is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.‎ Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step-parent.‎ Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused （指控），whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.‎ Some cynics（愤世嫉俗的人）declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in z shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?‎ ‎52. According to the text, what causes some people to be homeless?‎ A. Lack of money.                            B. The increased standard of living.‎ C. No government help.                     D. Agreement with their parents.‎ ‎53. It can be inferred from the text that________.‎ A. the homeless are willing to live under a bridge or in a cardboard box B. you will not find homeless people in countries with a high standard of living C. the mentally ill live on the stress because they want the company of other homeless people D. the unemployed who receive help may still be among the homeless ‎54. In paragraph 2, “a roof over their needs” most probably means _________.‎ A. a cap                B. a car                 C. a home             D. a covering E Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.‎ In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is.‎ ‎ One reason may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.‎ Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.‎ It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends（趋势）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance (平衡)?‎ ‎56. From the text we know that the author_______.‎ A. believes that longer working hours is better B. prefers shorter working hours to longer ones C. says nothing certain about which pattern is better D. thinks neither of the patterns is good ‎57. Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?‎ A. Spain.              B. France.             C. Germany.         D. America.‎ ‎58. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to_______.‎ A. family life          B. situations           C. other values       D. trends ‎59. What message can we get from the text?‎ A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.‎ B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.‎ C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.‎ D. Americans are happier than Europeans.‎ ‎60. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Americans and Europeans               B. Staying at Home C. Work and Productivity                   D. Work and Happiness 第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎―Can I help you?‎ ‎－Yes, I’m looking for a sweater.‎ ‎－______61_______‎ ‎－I’m an extra large.‎ ‎－______62_______‎ ‎－Yes, that’s nice. _______63_______‎ ‎－Certainly, there is a changing room over there.‎ ‎－Thank you.‎ ‎－______64_______‎ ‎―It’s too large.

The Spread of Popular Music B When people want to know about the weather, they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure（压力） produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around, Deer leave high ground and ‎ come down from the mountains.‎ Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable（急躁的）and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp（叽叽喳喳）and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also seek safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure makes the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.‎ It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.‎ By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.‎ ‎45．The word“indicators”in paragraph I probably means .‎ A．maps B．services C．signs D．stations ‎46．There will be a storm if birds .‎ A．make more noise than usual B．fly in different directions C．come down from tall trees D．share a piece of bread ‎47．How can birds sense the coming of a storm?‎ A．By feeling a drop in air temperature.‎ B．By noticing the change of wind directions.‎ C．By feeling a drop in air pressure.‎ D．By noticing the movements of other animals.‎ ‎48．The best title for the text would be .‎ A．Signs of a Storm B．Drops in Air Pressure C．Animals’Sharp Senses D．Nature’s Weather Signs C When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, be repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk.Thercfore, she should be addressed （称谓）as Mrs. Sohm.‎ President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.‎ In addition to Koreans. Some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles（使困惑） English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.‎ Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de （of）. This affects （影响）how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.‎ Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations：don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last ‎ name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed （颠倒）, Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.‎ ‎49．The story of Bill Clinton is used to .‎ A．improve US Korean relations B．introduce the topic of the text C．describe his visit to ‎Korea D．tell us how to address a person ‎50．The word “gears”in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .‎ A．action plans B．naming customs ‎ C．travel maps D．thinking patterns ‎51．When a woman marries in Koreas, she .‎ A．continues to use her family name B．uses her husband’s given name C．shares her husband’s family name D．adds her husband’s given name to hers ‎52．To address a married woman properly, you’d better .‎ A．are her middle name B．use her husband’s first name C．ask her which name she likes D．change the order of her names D Teens don’t understand the big fuss （小题大做）.As the first generation to grow up in a wired world, they hardly know a time when computers weren’t around, and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends, So what?‎ But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated（孤寂）, less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb （麻木） to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world.“And a teen’s sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,”said Sherry Turtle.‎ Another researcher, Robert Kraut, said he’s worried about the“opportunity costs”（机会成本） of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation.“Chatting online may be better than watching television, but it’s worse than hanging out （闲逛）with real friends,”he said.‎ Today’s teens, however, don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives,“School is busy and full of pressures. There’s almost no time to just hang out.”said Parker Rice, 17. “Talking online is just catch up time.”‎ Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply. Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form, though they don’t want to do so. But they insist there’s no harm.‎ ‎53．The researchers argue that .‎ A．teens may develop a different sense of values B．nothing is wrong with teens’chatting online C．teens can manage their social connections D．spending hours online does much good to teens ‎54．Teens think that talking online can help them .‎ A．use computers properly B．improve their school work C．develop an interest in social skills D．reduce their mental pressures ‎55．The text mainly deals with .‎ A．teens’pleasant online experience B．teens’computer skills and school work C．the effects of the computer world on teens D．different opinions on teens’chatting online ‎56．The purpose of the text is to .‎ A．describe computer research results B．draw attention to teens’ computer habits C．suggest ways to deal with problem teens D．discuss problems teens have at school E ‎ Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants, nurses, sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs. Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbors.‎ ‎ Many of these wage earners return in the end. In the mean time, they send home huge amounts of money--- in the Philippines’ case, over 10% of its GDP. Between January and November, the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005. Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labor-exporting countries. They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars. As for those Asian countries that import labor, as in Europe, falling birth rates mean that they are going to need more foreign workers.‎ ‎ On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN) signed an agreement to help migrant(流动的) workers—with the realization that the flow of labor between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders. A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries, but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers. So the true total is probably rather higher.‎ ‎ Of the ten ASEAN countries, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos export labor, Singapore and Brunei import it, and Thailand and Malaysia do both. Sziraczki of the UN’s International Labor Organization points out that, in the next ten years, the total labor force of the worker exporting countries should grow by about a third. It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control. ‎ ‎ People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs. Most Thais said their government should admit no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise. Even in Singapore, just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers. Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates.‎ 51. It can be inferred from the case of Philippines that _____. ‎ A. the country is Asia’s main source of migrant workers ‎ B. labor exports led to a 10% growth of its GDP ‎ C. the outflow of labor helps solve its social problems ‎ D. the country both exports and imports labor force ‎52. The flow of labor is a growing problem because______.‎ ‎ A. there is a greater flow of labor than reported ‎ B. more Indonesians work aboard without papers ‎ C. some countries suffer from low birth rates ‎ D. the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers ‎53. For the labor-importing countries, the flow of labor may lead to____.‎ ‎ A. higher birth rates ‎ B. lower crime rates ‎ C. greater money inflows ‎ ‎ D. stronger job competition ‎54. The writer of the text seems to __ _.‎ ‎ A. support the flow of labor between countries ‎ B. report fairly on the question of labor flow C. express his worries over the ASEAN’s decision D. regard the outflow of labor as a serious problem ‎（二）根据对话情景和内容，从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入每一空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两个为多余选项。‎ Li Hua, who is planning to travel with his parents, is now calling Hyan Travel ‎ Agency in Xi’an.

We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright‎ Angel ‎Trail. ‎ As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤)　us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.‎ The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.‎ We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)　the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.‎ As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.‎ ‎41. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?‎ A. They made a careful preparation before the trip B. They children were more joyful than their parents.‎ C. Bright‎ Angel ‎Trail was not as lovely as they expected.‎ D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.‎ ‎42. The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means .‎ A. we were weak B. we were unhappy ‎ C. we were dissatisfied D. we were disappointed ‎43. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?‎ A. It proved to be frightening. B. It was more comfortable C. It turned out to be exciting D. It made each of them tired.‎ ‎44. We can infer from the passage that .‎ A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way B. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.‎ C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.‎ D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.‎ B Photographs are everywhere. They decorate (装饰) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.‎ Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.‎ Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis ‎ believed that poverty(贫穷)　caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.‎ Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.‎ As historical and artistic documents(文献) ,photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish(发表) them in books and on the Internet.‎ ‎45. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .‎ A. beauties B. photos C. goods D. events ‎46. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos .‎ A. are also works of art B. are popular ways of reporting news C. often shock the public D. can serve as a force for social change ‎47. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. News with pictures is encouraging. ‎ B. Photos help people improve C. News photos mean history in a sense. ‎ D. People prefer reading news with pictures.‎ ‎48. The text is mainly about .‎ A. telling the story through picture B. decorating the walls of homes C. publishing historical papers D. expressing feeling through pictures C This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell‎ ‎University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?‎ The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing – the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.‎ The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次)　of meaning . Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate(本科)　science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).‎ Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”‎ But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this; All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they cam teach better.‎ ‎49.

However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.‎ The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of citied and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B, C, to about A, D, 1300, when sea travel offered new routes(路线)　, It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.‎ The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接)　different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.‎ The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy(外交), and religion (宗教)‎ ‎53.

What is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Silk Road ; Past and Present ‎ B. The Silk Road; East Meets West C. The Silk Road; Routes Full of Dangers ‎ D. The Silk Road; Pathways for Learning E ‎ Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.‎ ‎ There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!‎ ‎ The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about mine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children ad young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors(祖先) ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.‎ ‎ If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.‎ ‎57. Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s ‎ B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.‎ ‎ C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.‎ ‎ D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.‎ ‎58. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?‎ ‎ A. Women prefer doing many things at a time.‎ ‎ B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.‎ ‎ C. Women do not need to tell directions.‎ ‎ D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.‎ ‎59. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.‎ ‎ B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills ‎ C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.‎ ‎ D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.‎ ‎60. What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?‎ A. Defensive. B. Persuasive. ‎ C. Supportive.

Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.‎ ‎ I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I Struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）.‎ ‎ In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）.‎ ‎ I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.‎ ‎ I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”‎ ‎ She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.‎ ‎ “They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them!”‎ ‎ Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying（烦人的）little girl, She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）?”‎ ‎ I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”‎ ‎41．The little girl was more satisfied with her__________.‎ A．trousers B．jacket C．boots D．hat ‎42．Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girl’s boots mainly because_____.‎ A．the girl got them from her brother B．the girl put something in them C．they were on the wrong feet D．they did not fit the girl well ‎43．Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?‎ ‎ A．Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.‎ B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.‎ C．Because the little girl played a trick on her. ‎ D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.‎ ‎44．We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson_________.‎ A．was losing confidence in the little girl ‎ B．gradually lost patience with the little girl C．because disappointed with the little girl D．was getting bored with the little girl ‎ B ‎ When people hear a president speak, they seldom think about others helping to shape the presentation（报告）. Today, however, presidents depend on writers such as J. Terry Edmonds to help them communicate（交流）effectively. Edmonds is the first African American ever to work as a full-time speechwriter for a U.S.‎ president; he is also the first African American to serve as director of speechwriting for the White House. His is an all-American story of success.‎ ‎ Edmonds grew up in Baltimore‎, ‎Maryland; his father drove a truck, and his mother worked as a waitress. A great reader, Edmonds showed a gift for writing at his high School, Baltimore‎ City ‎College. After graduating in 1967, Edmonds went on to ‎ Morgan‎ State ‎University‎.‎ Edmonds began his career in business, with jobs in public relations and communications, He joined the world of politics as news secretary for his congressman (国会议员) from Baltimore, During Bill Clinton’s presidency, he worked speeches for Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala and worked in a number of jobs in the White House and in governmental departments. President Clinton then appointed (任命) him to the office of director of speechwriting, Following the 2000 elections, Edmonds returned to Morgan State University as the school’s special assistant to the president for 2001-2002.‎ ‎45. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? ‎ ‎ A. Edmonds proved himself to be good at writing at high school.‎ ‎ B. Edmonds graduated from Morgan‎ State ‎University in 1967.‎ ‎ C. Edmonds was the first full-time speechwriter.‎ ‎ D. Edmonds served the White House after 2000.‎ ‎46. Edmonds entered the world of politics first as ‎ ‎ A. news secretary for a congressman ‎ B. a speechwriter for President Clinton ‎ C. news secretary in the White House D. a speechwriter for Secretary Donna Shalala ‎47. The text is most likely to be found in a book about ‎ ‎ A. popular science B. historical events ‎ C. successful people D. political systems C ‎ “Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another, For Example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.‎ Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic (蒜) is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.‎ ‎ Unfortunately, not all of Mom’ s advice passed the test of medical studies, For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.‎ Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.‎ ‎48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the test? ‎ ‎ A. Eating garlic is good for our eyes.‎ ‎ B. Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.‎ ‎ C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous.‎ ‎ D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds.‎ ‎49. The author develops the third paragraph mainly .‎ ‎ A. by cause and effect B. by order in space C. by order in time D. by examples ‎50. The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means ”_____”.‎ A. to be believable B. to be valuable C. to be admirable D. to be suitable ‎51.What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives tales” in the text?‎ A. Subjective B. Objective C. Dissatisfied D. Curious D Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t ‎ have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.‎ ‎ “Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily ,” Tony said, ”You don’t have any luggage, right?”‎ ‎“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. ”You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”‎ ‎“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”‎ ‎“Thanks.”‎ ‎ Is Brian a criminal(罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.‎ ‎ Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!‎ ‎52.Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?‎ ‎ A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers.‎ ‎ B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.‎ ‎ C. Because his backpack had no room his clothes.‎ ‎ D. Because he did not have any luggage with him ‎53. An air courier is a person who_________‎ ‎ A .manages a business company in foreign countries B. organizes international flights for tourists C. travels around the world with cheap tickets D delivers papers and packages to foreign countries.‎ ‎54. Business choose the air-courier service because_____.‎ A. it costs less B. it is flexible C. it saves time D. it grows fast ‎55. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he_____.‎ A. cannot decide when and where to travel B. cannot take any luggage with him C. has to wear two pairs of jeans D .saves little money from the travel ‎56. The author of the text mainly______.‎ A. describes the activities of a law-breaker B. suggests an ideal way to travel C. argues against the air-courier travel D. tells us about a developing business E Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions-mistaken ideas.‎ One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements(组成部分) of culture: language, values and attitudes ,and customs and manners.‎ Language A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicates directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication With someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.‎ Values and Attitudes Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is way of ‎ thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For Example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.‎ Customs and Manners Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is custom to have salad(色拉) before the main course at dinner, not after.

Jeffers This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.‎ Dear Dr. Jeffers, ‎ One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to ‘read minds’. Is there any truth to this story/‎ ‎—‎Jane Leon‎, New York, ‎USA Dear Ms. Leon,‎ Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’t been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（减）the two ‎ numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time. It’s not quite mind reading, but it’s certainly a first step.‎ ‎—Dr. J.‎ Dear Dr. Jeffers, ‎ My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn’t do it. Why not?‎ ‎—Glenn Lewis, ‎Vancouver‎, ‎Canada Dear Mr. Lewis,‎ It’s because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don’t notice how your shoulder feels while you’re walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It’s that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.‎ ‎—Dr. J.‎ ‎46.What can we learn from the answer to the first question? ‎ A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.‎ B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.‎ C. Test subjects have been used to make decisions.‎ D.

Ms. Leon B. Mr. Lewis C. Mr. Moeller D. Dr. Jeffers ‎49.According to the text, Jeffers is probably _______. ‎ A. a computer programmer B. a test subject C. a human brain expert D. a medical doctor B ‎ Brave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World ‎(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.‎ Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.‎ He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Scaport museum.

The bowlers wore clothes from 1900, are only food available in English at that time, and cooked their meals on a single stove. Paul bowler still went to work every day in a then uniform. The children changed their clothes on the way to and from school and their classmates didn’t know about then unusual home life.

Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.‎ If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?‎ This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.‎ For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.‎ ‎57.What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. messages B. ideas C. connections D. programs ‎58. According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam? ‎ ‎ A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.‎ B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.‎ C. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.‎ D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.‎ ‎59. According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam? ‎ ‎ A. The business B. The advertiser ‎ ‎ C. The employee D. The consumer ‎ ‎60. What is the purpose of the text?‎ ‎ A. To inform B. To educate ‎ C. To persuade D. To instruct ‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。‎ A Gift giving proven to be valuable.‎ B. Memories from gift giving C. Moments and events for gift giving D. Various functions of gift giving E. Gift giving as a wasteful practice F. Gift giving as a two-way social activity Gift Giving ‎61. There are many occasions（场合） for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies; birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year, It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one’s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift fiving.‎ ‎ 62. What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation（义务）.‎ ‎ 63. Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special.” We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.” Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would frrl comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages－often very expressive ones.‎ ‎64. People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years: “I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,” the woman said, “because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.” The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and ‎ 65. Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.‎ ‎ ‎ 第三部分 写作（共三节，满分55分）‎ ‎ 第一节 单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎ ‎ 根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。‎ ‎ 66.The car is running at a speed/rate(速度)of eighty kilometers an hour.‎ ‎ 67.The teacher is glad that everyone in her class is eager(渴望的)to learn.‎ ‎ 68.Jeff has the habit(习惯)of listening to music while reading.‎ ‎69.

However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.‎ Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.‎ Irene entered the University‎ of ‎Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（设备） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.‎ ‎ In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taugh him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.‎ Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）. Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.‎ ‎49．Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?‎ ‎ A.Because she received a degree in mathematics.‎ B.Because she contributed to saving the wounded.‎ C.Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.‎ D.

I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell‎ ‎University,but my mother fought strongly againsnst it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell,she tore it up.‎ ‎“You can’t say it’s not a great university,just because Papa went there.”‎ ‎“That’s not it at all.And it is a top university.”She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”‎ ‎“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money.Do you want me to get a job to help suppont you and Papa?Things aren’t that bad,are they?”‎ ‎“No,”she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”‎ Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop,His chief customers were his old college friends.To get new customers,my mother had to help.She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women,so that she cound get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns.What’s more ,they had not wanted enough to be roch and successful ；otherwise they cound not possibly have managed their lives so badly.‎ I was torn between the desave to help them and change,their lives,and the determinstion not to repeat their mistakes.I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted.After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship（奖学金）.My father could hardly contain his pride in me,and my mother eventually gave in before my success.‎ ‎53.The author was not allowed to go to Cornell‎ ‎University mainly because A. his father grduated from the university B. his mother did not thinks it a great university C. his parents needed him to help support the family D. his parents did not have enough money for him ‎54.The father srarted his small shop with the money from ‎ A.a local league B.his university C.his relatives D.his college friends ‎55.Why did the mother renew her membership in the league? ‎ A.To help with her husband’s business B.To raise money for her son C.To meet her long-forgotten friends D.To better manage her life ‎56.According to the text,what was the author determined to do in that autumn? ‎ A.

But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,is it the best solutiorr?‎ ‎ Despite what it promiises,GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp. In fact ‎ ‎ Studies show that the most crown GM croo.‎ GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analysed nearly two decades of research on mojor GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.‎ Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companics tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides（杀虫剂）. On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “ The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But nether is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.‎ At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.‎ As a matter of fact ,scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.‎ ‎57.The author develops the second paragraph mainly . ‎ A. by classification B. by comparison ‎ C. by example D. by process ‎ ‎58. What does the underlined word “boost ” in the third paragraph probably mean? ‎ A. Control. B. Evaluate C. Obtain. D. Increase.‎ ‎59. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ______________. ‎ A. practicing “green” farming B. use of less chemicals C. fair distribution of their crops D. using more crops for fuel ‎60. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology? ‎ A. Optimistic B. Defensive C. Disapproving D. Casual 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从下框A~F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。‎ A. A sense of humour is not an inborn ability.‎ B. A sense of humour can be developed in our life.‎ C. A sense of humour helps us from several aspects.‎ D. A sense of humour means more than telling jokes.‎ E. A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways.‎ F. A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life.‎ ‎ 61. As awareness of the cenefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the langhs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, cmotionally, and sp[iritually. Every system of the body responds to langhter in some important or positive way .‎ ‎62. Many pcople mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you don't .” This is ‎ false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.‎ ‎63. The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humour!”) Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you will make them laugh too.‎ ‎64. Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions（定义）of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation.”‎ ‎65. There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.‎ 第三部分： 写作（共三节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写一词。‎ ‎66.
