Six or seven sleeping hours later, they wake up again. Strange, isn't it? ‎ Sleep puzzles science. Scientists and doctors would rather talk about why one can't fall asleep. They are not sure what causes sleep. The best conditions for sleep are good health and meal neither too big nor too small. No worries and a comfortable place are important, too. They advise against two in bed.‎ Strange things happen during sleep. For example，they move often. You would feel tired if you didn't. You also dream. Part of your brain is still awake when you dream. Dreaming happens when the memory and imagination in parts of your brain are still awake. Experiments have shown most of us dream in color. Bad dreams may be caused by stomachache. Don't worry if you dream. Some great stories and poems were begun while their writers slept.‎ ‎21．Sleep puzzles scientists because they are not certain ________.‎ ‎ A．why one can't fall asleep B．why one wakes up ‎ ‎ C．both A and B D．what causes sleep ‎ ‎22．The best conditions for sleep are ________.‎ ‎ A．good health B．a meal neither too big nor too small ‎ ‎ C．no worries D．good health，limited meal，no worries and a good place ‎ ‎23．You would feel tired during sleep if you ________.‎ ‎ A．moved too often B．slept on your back ‎ ‎ C．didn't move D．went to sleep late ‎24．The best title for the passage is ________.‎ ‎ A．How Can You Get a Good Sleep B．The Strangeness of Sleep ‎ C．What Happens During Sleep D．The Causes of Dream B ‎ An elegantly dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop one day. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife's birthday. The price didn't matter, since business had been particularly good for him that year. After examining a number of beautiful and expensive pearls, he chose an exquisite black one that cost $5,000. He paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.‎ ‎ A few days later the man returned and said that his wife had liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made. “Can you possibly give me any advice on how to get hold of such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, "I would say it's virtually impossible to find an exact duplicate of that pearl."‎ ‎ The millionaire insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspaper, and offered $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the ad, but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his amazement, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. "I don't like to part with," she said sadly. "I inherited from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers, but I really need the money."‎ ‎ The jeweler was quick to pay the old lady before she changed her mind. Then he called the millionaire's house to tell him the good news. The millionaire, however, was nowhere to be found.‎ ‎ Why?‎ ‎ The "millionaire" and the old lady were thieves who worked together. The "duplicate" pearl that she sold the jeweler was actually the same one the "millionaire" had bought.‎ ‎25. What's the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. A Real Bargain B. The Perfect ‎Pearl ‎ C. A Stupid Jeweler D. A Smart Millionaire ‎26. What's the meaning of the underlined word "duplicate" (Para. 2)?‎ ‎ A. A thing that is exactly alike. B. A thing that is valuable.‎ ‎ C. A thing that is opposite. D. A thing that is absolutely different.‎ ‎27. Which is true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. The millionaire paid $5,000 for a pearl by cheque.‎ ‎ B. The jeweler quickly found the pearl that the millionaire demanded.‎ ‎ C. The jeweler was so bright as to find the trick.‎ ‎ D. Actually the millionaire pretended to need the same pearl.‎ ‎28. What's the relationship between the old lady and the millionaire?‎ ‎ A. They united to cheat money. B. They were strangers each other.‎ ‎ C. They used to friends. D. They were mother and son.‎ C We all hate speed cameras, don’t we? They’re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents; they just make money for the government. They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, disturb us from driving properly and are unfair.‎ Well, here’s a surprising thing: what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives? It’s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what’s happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety.‎ There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example, but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995.‎ Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than 2004. Comparing road deaths to population in 2005, that’s about 817 per million people compared with Australia’s 806.‎ And guess what? Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years.‎ Okay, you know the arguments regarding increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income, but it seems in France there’s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.‎ Travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming. There’s even an official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly.‎ Maybe it is because of such transparency（透明）by government, rather than the concealment（隐蔽） too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras.‎ ‎29. Generally, it seems to most people that speed cameras are used to .‎ ‎ A．make money for the government B．slow down the traffic ‎ C．lower the road accidents D．help us drive properly ‎30. Which seems more effective in lowering road deaths in France according to this passage?‎ ‎ A．Compulsory seat belt. B．Lowering blood alcohol limit.‎ ‎ C．Placing more speed cameras. D．Eating in a shorter time.‎ ‎31. Now you can seldom see in France .‎ ‎ A．people drive at a speed of less than 130km/h ‎ B．lunch time lasts long hours with drunk people rushing back to office ‎ C．drivers drive according to the traffic lights ‎ D．police conduct traffic in streets ‎ ‎32. From the passage we can learn that .‎ ‎ A．France has a very poor record of road safety ‎ B．we’d better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save lives ‎ C．France had less road deaths than Australia in 2005‎ ‎ D．France does successfully in controlling road accidents D Are you a dog person or a cat person? Your preference for one animal or the other shows a bit about your personality.‎ ‎ Sixty-two percent of U.S.‎ households have a pet, according to the American Pet Products Association. Dogs are the most popular pets with 39 percent of U.S.‎ households owning at least one dog, but cats come in second with 33 percent of U.S.‎ households having at least one cat.‎ ‎ Studies show that we tend to like the animals with which we were raised, and factors(因素) like age and living space also play a role in pet ownership. Parents with young children are more likely ‎ to have dogs that kids can take outside, while older people and singles are more likely to have cats. And people in the suburbs(郊区) are more likely to adopt large dogs, while those living in apartments are likely to have cats or small dogs.‎ ‎ Still, research shows that there are differences between cat people and dog people. A University of Texas study found that dog people are more confident, outgoing, agreeable and conscientious(尽责的) than cat people. Cat people, on the other hand, are more creative and adventurous.‎ ‎ However, there are some things that cat people and dog people have in common. Both types of people talk to animals, consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing, and are generally optimists.‎ ‎ Check out some of the other findings from Hunch.com's survey below.‎ ‎ Living area preferences ‎ Dog people are more likely to live in the countryside.‎ ‎ Cat people are more likely to live in an urban area.‎ ‎ Animal rescue leanings(倾向)‎ ‎ Dog people are more likely to call animal control if they find young cats that are lost or have no home.‎ ‎ Cat people are more likely to rescue young cats that are lost or have no home.‎ ‎ Random facts ‎ Dog people are more likely to think of zoos as happy places.‎ ‎ Cat people are more likely to be active on social networking websites.‎ ‎ But what about those people with both cats and dogs? According to Hunch.com's survey, these people are likely to be politically middle of the road.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is more likely to have a large dog?‎ ‎ A. A girl raised with a cat. B. An old man living in a big city.‎ ‎ C. A single man living in an apartment. D. A woman living in the outer suburbs of a town.‎ ‎34. Both cat people and dog people  .‎ ‎ A. are conscientious B. like trying new things ‎ C. love animal-print clothing D. are hopeful about the future ‎35. According to the findings from Hunch.com's survey, dog people  .‎ ‎ A. are interested in politics ‎ B. tend to enjoy going to the zoo ‎ C. always rescue young cats by themselves ‎ D. usually have no confidence in themselves 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 Improve Vocabulary Fast Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.‎ Read every day. 36.   Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.‎ ‎ 37.   If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.‎ Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.‎ Elaborate(阐释) on the meaning of the word. Use imagery(意象) and personal relevance. If you have just learned the word "stubborn", think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. 38.  ‎ Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 39.   But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.‎ Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is. 40.   The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.‎ ‎ A. Find a new word every day.‎ ‎ B. The vocabulary can be increased.‎ ‎ C. Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.‎ ‎ D. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.‎ ‎ E. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.‎ ‎ F. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as "stubborn in his refusal".‎ ‎ G. The first time you use a new word in speech, it may seem clumsy and unnatural.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ When you think of American culture, what first comes to your mind?
