第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20 小题，第二节 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分50

分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

The desire for a better life is sometimes so big that it makes people leave their countries and their families and work in other countries. They know that they will have to face difficult moments, that they won't be able to communicate with the persons around them and that maybe they will have to work in illegal conditions to get the money they need for their families, but they all take these chances and they hope they will succeed.

On the other hand, there are persons who immigrate just for the sake of the persons they love. They leave their families to make other families with the persons they love. Women go to meet the men who have chosen other countries to start a new life, even if they miss their families and their friends. Maybe they don't have a place to work but they are capable of waiting to see what destiny has for them.

There are also the cases of the persons who are forced to leave their countries because of a war which

threatens their lives. They ' d rather start from the very beginning than risking putting their lives in danger.

When well developed countries see that their homeland is being “ invaded ” by lots of immigran, t shey set

new laws that make immigration harder. As a result of this, many illegal immigrants cross the borders and are eager to work, although they are paid only at half of the amount of money native workers receive for the same kind of job.

The opinions of the local people are varied and they range from total refusal to complete acceptance. Immigrants in countries which have large communities of them are fighting for the recognition of their social rights and for equal treatment.

Many immigrants have managed to be fully accepted by the communities where they live and they have managed to change the opinions of the local people about them.

41. Which of the following are the reasons for immigration?

① Escaping from a war. ② Being reunited with the beloved people.

③ Seeking a better life. ④ Studying a foreign language.

A. ①②

B. ①③④

C. ①②③④

D. ①②③

42. From the passage we learn that _______ .

A. all immigrants believe everything will be good for them.

B. some immigrants cross the borders illegally.

C. few immigrants know about the difficulties they will face.

D. most immigrants enjoy equal right with the local people.

43. W hich of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Some immigrants are still fighting for their rights now.

B. Native people usually earn more money than illegal immigrants for the same kind of job.

C. Immigrants are never accepted no matter how hard they try.

D. The local people have different attitudes toward immigrants.

44. The passage implies that _______ .

A. culture shock causes great anxiety in some immigrants.

B. illegal immigrants cause great damage to developed countries.

C. stricter laws should be set to prevent immigration.

D. many people go to other countries with great determination.

B

Remember high school? You could choose French or Spanish. What you couldn 't choose was to be the right to learn a new language easily. You memorized verbs, but you probably di dn't learn to speak fluently. Present

school systems know better. Second languages are introduced in elementary school. Little kids do learn more easily than high school students. But current research says to really do it right, start even earlier. Start when the child is learning a first language. Babies have an astonishing ability to absorb it.

Nowadays a second language is not a luxury - it 's a necessity. Studying a second language offers surprising benefits to children. Research has demonstrated improved ability to communicate, better cognitive development, richer cultural awareness and, finally, better job opportunities for those who know a second language.

Research suggests that from birth through age 10 is the best time to introduce new languages to a child.

The child will learn the language faster, store it better and most often speak it with near-native pronunciation.

Recent research indicates a young child up through age 5 can learn and process up to five languages!

Many parents wonder how to bring a new language into their little one 'lsife. Many experts agree the bilingual approach （双语教学法） for the very young child is best. Teach the new language alongside the native language. It 'a s easy as pointing to a cat and saying “ cat th”en following with “ gato. T”his bilingual method provid es continuing education in the child 's native tongue while acquiring skills in the new one.

Today 'psarents know the importance of being bilingual. Now they just need to know where to turn for assistance in finding fun and affordable bilingual products that will bring the target language into their child The Internet has made their search much easier than five years ago. Look for bilingual programs that allow you to try their visual or audio products on line so that you get a good feel for the content and style of the language learning within that particular program.

45. What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To promote a good bilingual product for a university.

B. To suggest that children should learn a second language early.

C. To prove that children are not interested in learning a second language

D. To explain how to teach young children a second language

46. A child should learn a second language early because of the following EXCEPT that the child __.

A. learns the language harder

B. learns the language faster

C. stores the language better

D. speaks the language with near-native pronunciation.

47. What is the author 's attitude towards bilingual education?

A. Unconcerned

B. Disappointed

C. Positive

D. Negative

48. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Why a child should learn a second language.

B. How a child should learn a second language.

C. How to teach adults a sec ond Ian guage efficie ntly.

D. Adva ntages of bil in gual educati on.

Nuveen Investments or his present position as stay-at-home dad. " This is harder," said Short, one of the victims of a U.S. economic crisis that has hit men harder than women in the job market.

Un employme nt has affected more men tha n wome n, with men maki ng up three out of every four U.S. jobs

lost, and the number of families in which wives are primary breadwinners has jumped sharply since the econo mic depressi on bega n.

In the first five mon ths of this year, 5.4 perce nt of work ing wives had an un employed husba nd, compared

with an average 2.4 perce nt over the first five mon ths of 2007 at the tip of the last econo mic circle, accord ing to econo mist Heather Boushey at the Cen ter for America n Progress.

TRADITIONALLY FEMALE AT-HOME PARENTING

Some 1 milli on US families have a work ing wife, a child un der 18 and an un employed husba nd, the cen ter said.

With men possess ing so many jobs, from Wall Street to con struct ion, the role cha nge to

“ RANDOMNESS OF DAYS

Short said the hardest part of being a stay-at home dad is the “ randomnesse” his job at Nuveen. He said,

“ There 'tot of logistics （后勤）to work out. Somebody' at skat ing practice, somebody' at gymn astics, somebody ' s at soccer. ”

Roger Van dewater, who cared for two tee nage sons in Duxbury, Massachusetts, after losi ng his job as a

financial services database advisor in May, said he finds it much harder to concentrate with so many in terrupti ons from his family.

Short said he would prefer a full-time pay ing job, but he enjoys his new role.

Reader Janet Maynard has a lot of young bushes in her garde n and is sufferi ng from "wateri ng can elbow" . So for Janet and anyone else who does n't want to waste time, effort and water, here are my top tips for keep ing pla nts refreshed in thirsty times.

Water in the evening if possible, rather than leaving it till you see things suffer. That way the roots can take up the water in cool soil overni ght.

Violently jetting hoses （皮管）mess up the soil structure and may expose delicate roots. Use a rose （喷头）on a can. Aim

low —don't waste water wett ing leaves, even though they look pretty and "refreshed".

The most valuable and easily damaged pla nts n eed the most atte nti on, such as n ewly pla nted trees, bushes and climbers. Remove any water-keepi ng mulch （护根物）you may have put around the base, the n water it thoroughly at least two gallons, slowly. Don't aim your can rose at the stem -which we all usually tend to do. Aim the water in a wide circle so that the whole of the area un der the pla nt is watered. You could even make a cha nnel in the soil right around the pla nt so that the water is held in place as it soaks （浸透）in. Replace the

mulch. Repeat each week even in showery weather for the first summer.

How much water for pots? Fill up the gap betwee n the top of the soil and the top of the pot. Let the water soak right in and then fill it again. Do this daily in hot weather for most summer potted plants.

Stand pots in saucers （垫盘）-it makes a big differenee. But remember to check that the plants are not

sitt ing in water for days on end whe n the weather tur ns wet. Roots will rot.

If the fertilizer in pots really dries out, the water may get straight out of the pot without being absorbed. Correct this by standing or floating the pot in a bucket of deep water until it sinks and no bubbles rise.

A push-butt on wateri ng can makes for more efficie nt wateri ng, and recycled water bottles upside dow n with a n eedle which has a hole on the end are useful, too, for pots.

53. What does the underlined part watering can elbow ”n Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A. A certa in ki nd of men tal disease

B. The extreme thirst for water.

C. The power of water.

D. Tired ness or pain in part of the body.

54. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. It would be better to water the pla nt in the evening tha n in the morning.

B. It 'n ecessary to water n ewly-pla nted trees once a week in the first summer.

C. Put potted plants in saucers in case the roots rot in damp weather.

D. Make sure fertilizer in the pot doesn 'dry out, otherwise the water would not be fully absorbed.

55. We may easily lear n from the passage that _____ .

A. potted pla nts n eed to be watered every week even in rainy weather.

B. we ' better put water on the leaves and stems to keep the pla nts refreshed.

C. It 'better to use a rose on a can to water tha n jett ing hoses.

D. people usually don 'twant to waste time, effort and water in raising plants.

56. What can be the best title of this passage?

A.The importa nee of water in cari ng for pla nts

B. Watering tips and skills

C. H ow to take care of your plants

D. T he relationship between plants and water

All forms of tobacco —cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco —are dangerous. It doesn't help to substitute products that seem like they're better for you than regular cigarettes, such as filtered or low-tar cigarettes.

The only thing that really helps a person avoid the problems associated with smoking is staying smoke free. This isn't always easy, especially if everyone around you is smoking and offering you cigarettes. It may help to have your reasons for not smoking ready for times you may feel the pressure, such as "I just don't like it" or "I want to stay in shape for soccer" (or football, basketball, or other sport).

The good news for people who don't smoke or who want to quit is that studies show that the number of teens who smoke has dropped evidently. Today, about 23% of high school students smoke.

If you do smoke and want to quit, you have lots of information and support available. Different approaches to quitting work for different people. For some, quitting cold turkey is best. Others find that a slower approach is the way to go. Some people find that it helps to go to a support group especially for teens. These are sometimes sponsored by local hospitals or organizations like the American Cancer Society. The Internet offers a number of good resources to help people quit smoking.

When quitting, it can be helpful to realize that the first few days are the hardest. So don 't give up. Some

people find they have a few setbacks before they manage to quit for good.

Staying smoke free will give you a whole lot more of everything —more energy, better performance, better looks, more money in your pocket, and, in the long run, more life to live!

57. What will be the best title of the passage?

A. Live a Long Life

B. Staying Smoke Free

C. The Smoking Problems

D. The Good News for Smokers

58. How can you effectively quit smoking?

A. Walking slowly

B. Eating cold turkey

C. Staying in hospital

D. Finding a suitable approach

59. We can conclude that after stopping smoking you will _________ .

A. have no cancer

B. be more attractive

C. run for a long time

D. get more opportunities

60. Who is the passage written for?

A. adolescents

B. Heavy smokers

C. College students

D. Smoking athletes

第二节：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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

The following people are expressing their thoughts (61--65) to show their concern for food, environment and so on．After that are pieces of related information (A--F) ．Now decide which piece of information would be most

suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions (61 —65) and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your

answer sheet ．There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

_____61．How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were ．Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.

_____62．More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

_____63．Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.

_____64 ．I 'm very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.

_____65 ．Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A．"Organic produce is always better, "Gold said ．"The food is free of pesticides（农药） ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms ．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.

B．Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences
