There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.

The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned to be OK.

Then the professor asked about the cure for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.

“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”

“A full spoon”, answered the student.

“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himsel f. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”

“I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.

64. The students were afraid of the professor because_________.

B. their answers often astonished him

C. their answers seldom satisfied him

D. he often misunderstood them and give them bad markers

D. he had not done well in the exam.

A. The patient will be in danger if he’s taken as much as a ful l spoon.

B. The doctor will be in trouble if he’s given the patient a full spoon.

one full spoon at a time.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

68. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food

B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways

D. eat entirely different food

69. Which of the following eats only one type of food?

A. The white butterfly.

B. The small bird.

C. The bear.

D. The fox.

70. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.

A. the season changes

B. the food color changes

C. they move to different places

D. they are attracted by different smells

71. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

A. food is chosen for a good reason

B. French and British food is good

C. some people have few choices of food

D. some people care little about healthy diet

E

After the coming of Europeans to the Americas, Indians were forced to change their way of life. Yet the influence of Native American culture is still felt throughout the United States.

Many of the foods commonly eaten in the United States today were first grown by American Indians. Among these foods are corn, white and sweet potatoes, peanuts, pumpkins, tomatoes, and certain beans and berries. Native Americans also discovered ways to use herbs and other plants as medicines.

Native American inventions, such as canoes, ponchos and parkas（风雪衣），hammocks（吊床）and snowshoes are still in use today. Other marks of Indian culture were left in American place names. The state of Alaska, for example, takes its name from a Native American word meaning“great land”.

Today nearly 1.5 million Native Americans live in the United States. Some still preserve the ways of their ancestors, speaking Indian languages and keeping alive their legends, art forms, and customs. Other Native Americans keep few of the old ways, but remain proud of their people’s contributions to American history.

Americans have come to appreciate the beauty of Indian crafts（工艺）. Many artists find inspiration in traditional Indian designs. Many Indian values, too, have become widely held.

Americans today believe that the land, air and water are precious resources (资源) that must be carefully protected. As one government official wrote recently:

We have slowly come back to some of the truths that the Indians knew from the beginning. People need to learn from nature, to keep an ear to the earth, and to refill their spirits in frequent contacts with animals and wild land.

72. What does“Native Americans”refer to in the passage?

A. Europeans settling in the Americas.

B. People born and living in America.

C. American Indians.

D. Ancestors of Americans.

73. What influences Americans most according to the passage?

A. Agriculture of Native Americans.

B. Ancient Indian medicines.

C. Native American inventions.

D. Indian languages.

74. The underlined word “inspiration” (in Paragraph 5) means ______.

A. confidence

B. creative ideas

C. power

D. good advice

75. Which of the following best shows the Indian values?

A. Americans should preserve the ways of Indian ancestors.

B. Native Americans are still making contributions to American history.

C. The resources offered by nature should be carefully protected.

D. Native Americans knew the truths long before Americans do today.

第一节：任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词。注意：表格中的每个空只填一个单词。

We are going to describe one way to build a rooftop garden that does not even require soil. Four things are needed for a small rooftop garden. One thing is a roof that can support the weight. Another is grass cutting. The third thing is a sheet of plastic in which to spread the cut grass. And the last thing is a box about eight centimeters deep and made out of four pieces of wood.

Once you are sure the roof is good, cut and collect some grass. Then lay down the plastic where the garden box will go. The four-sided box can be as long and as wide as needed. Place the box on top of the sheet of plastic. Then fill it with the cut grass. Next, add water and walk on the cuttings to press them down.

After about three weeks, the rooftop garden is ready for planting. Put the seeds directly into the wet grass cuttings. This garden is a good place to grow peas, tomatoes, beans, onions and lettuce. If the box is deep enough, potatoes and carrots will also grow.

It is important to keep the grass wet until the plants begin to grow. When the plants are growing, they will need watering every day, unless there is rain. And they will need some liquid fertilizer. Also, seeds and new plants must be protected from insects and birds.

Rooftop gardens are increasingly popular, and not just to grow vegetables. They keep buildings cooler in the sun, so they save energy. They can also extend the useful life of a roof. Rooftop gardens also reduce the runoff of storm water and help clean the air. Plus the add beauty, and give birds and insects in the city a nice place to live.

My opinion on copying others’ homework

It is known to us all that some students copy others’ homewo rk. As students, we have to do plenty of homework both at home and at school, but sometimes we have some homework which is too difficult for us. On the other hand, some students are lazy, and are not interested in their lessons. They don’t work hard. In or der to finish the assignments and please their teachers, some students copy others’ homework.

In my opinion, it is wrong to copy others’ homework because it breaks the school rules. Students should be honest and try to finish our homework by ourselves instead of by copying. Even though we have trouble doing our homework we can ask our classmates or teachers for help.
