AMy brother Ron joined the US army a few years ago. Most girls, especially those who are my age, are thrilled by anything that has to do with the “army”. It’s a novelty to them to shoot a gun, jump out of a plane, and wear uniform.Now I know you’re thinking that I must find it really cool to know a solider, who’s my brother. That’s wrong, before I found out that my brother joined the army, I was crazy about the army. Firstly, I wanted to go to college, knew that joining the army was probably the only way I could get it as my parents couldn’t afford it. Additionally there were all the other points of the army that grabbed my heart. I wanted the challenge, I wanted the discipline and I wanted the feeling that I would be doing something beyond the ability of average citizen.But as soon as my brother joined the army, all those things fell away. All I saw were dead people, guns shooting, tanks turning into a ball of fire, tents burning, and lots of blood. It was so horrible. When Ron went to Iraq, I freaked out whenever I didn’t he ar from him for more than a week. I kept up with the news, reading the latest newspaper and listening to the hourly reports. And every time I heard that an American solider was killed, I prayed, it’ wasn’t Ron.I’m proud of my brother for serving our count ry, and his willingness to devote his life to something he finds important. It’s great to see how discipline and mature he’s got, and I’m glad he has his college paid for. But although I am proud, I gladly give up the “coolness” of having a brother in the army. I would be perfectly all right if I had never seen that uniform on him, and he was just a plain old “boring” brother.I love my brother, and I’m proud of him, but I want him back home!21. What did the writer think of the army before Ron joined?A. Joining the army was more beneficial than going to college.B. Joining the army was a good choice for those who couldn’t afford college education.C. Joining the army was meant risking one’s life for something important,D. Joining the army did more harm than good.22. After Ron joined the army, the writer .A. decide to join the army one dayB. became afraid of seeing soldiersC. often showed off Ron in front of friendsD. became aware of the danger of joining the army23. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Peace or war?B. Life in the armyC. Having a soldier in the familyD. A choice between your life and your dreamBThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school- leaving age is sixteen; many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.24. At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage?A. At about twenty-fiveB. In their earl fiftiesC. At the age of fifteenD. At any age from fifteen to forty-five25. Many girls, the passage claims, are now likely to_______.A. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB. leave school as soon as they canC. marry so that they can get a jobD. continue working until they are going to have a baby26. When she was over fifty, a late nineteenth-century mother ______.A. was usually expected to die fairly soonB. would expect to work until she diedC. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsD. was less likely to find a job even if she wanted to27. Nowadays, a husband tends to_______.A. play a greater part in looking after the childrenB. help his wife by doing much of the houseworkC. feel dissatisfied with his role in the familyD. take a part-time job so that he can help in the homeCThe best example of something is often called the "gold standard." It sets the standard against which other things are measured. In economics, the term describes how major trading nations once used gold to set currency values and exchange rates. Many nations continued to use the gold standard until the last century.In the United States, people could exchange paper money for gold from the eighteen seventies until nineteen thirty-three. Then-President Richard Nixon finally disconnected the dollar from the value of gold in nineteen seventy-one. From time to time, some politicians call for a return to the gold standard.In 1978, the International Monetary Fund ended an official gold price. The IMF also ended the required use of gold in transactions with its member countries. Since that time, gold prices have grown and continued to be high. But people keep buying. Some people are "gold bugs." These are investors who say people should buy gold to protect against inflation(通货膨胀).People have valued gold for thousands of years. The soft, dense metal polishes to a bright yellow shine and resists most chemical reactions. It makes a good material for money, political power -- and, more recently, electrical power. If you own a device like a mobile phone or a computer, you might own a little gold in the wiring. The gold standard was the subject of one of the best-known speeches in American political history. William Bryan wanted the country to use both gold and silver as money. The idea was to devalue the dollar and make it easier for farmers to pay their debts. So he delivered a speech, which made him famous. He was a presidential candidate three times. But he never won.28. The underlined word “transactions” probably means “”A. warsB. tradeC. meetingsD. conflict29. After the IMF ended the official gold price, the gold prices .A. stayed the sameB. began to dropC. increasedD. increased a little at first and kept drop30. What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The reason for valuing goldB. The history of the use of goldC. New function of goldD. How to obtain gold31. We can learn from the last paragraph that William Bryan .A. was once a farmerB. loved to collect goldC. was a famous political figureD. was a good at giving speechesDEdward Wilson is America's, if not the world's, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world's natural resources. How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today's Walden Pond with that of Thoreau's day. Wilsonwill use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future? Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book.32. We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about .A. the environment for plantsB. the biodiversity of our earthC. the waste of natural resourcesD. the importance of human values33. How many species are most important to our present food supply?A. TwentyB. EightyC. One hundredD. Ten thousand34. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to .A. learn how to farm scientificallyB. builds homes for some dying speciesC. makes it clear what to eatD. use more species for food35. We can infer that the text isA. description of natural resourcesB. a research reportC. a book reviewD. an introduction to a scientist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。

I still remember the time when 3 classmates and I teamed up to do a presentation project. At the very beginning, we couldnt agree with each other about what topic to choose, as we each had our own fancy ideas. Later , we had a heated discussion to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the topics we came up with. Finally, we settled our disagreement and made our final choice. It turned out that the topic we chose proved to be unique and won high praise from the teacher and other classmates.From this experience I learned that when teaming up, we should put the interest of the team in the first place. Only in that way can we cooperate well. (118) 听力原文Text 1W: How long will it take this letter to get to Arkansas?M: First class?

Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others w orry, wondering whether they will be good father. Although the re are some men who like children and may have had conside rable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mot hers have been planning and looking forward to children for s ome time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that t he shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult t ask. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educ ate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recen tly has literature focused on the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s r ole, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition th e wife must make to the mother’s role.

A lot! On a cle ar night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousand s of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that m any stars look larger than others. You might see that some st ars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigg er telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes.You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our S un is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when t he gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If t he star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball c alled a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashin g inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is pack ed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It ’s the same force that pulls you down when you jump – the for ce called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its grav ity sucks in everything – even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothi ng but blackness.So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: ther e’s more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes – the great mystery of space.74. According to the article, what causes a star to die?A. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.B. It collides with other stars.C. It can only live for about a million years.D. As its gases run out, it cools down.75. Which of the following statements is NOT a fact?A. Black holes are dead stars.B. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.C. Black holes are invisible.D. Black holes have gravity.76.Which of the following is NOT a feature of a black dwarf?A. It is usually bigger than a white dwarf.B. It is dark.C. It is smaller in size than a common star.D. It is cold.77. Why can’t you see light when you look at a black hole?A. For most black holes are so far away.B. As the star’s gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.C. As a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.D. The gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the ligh t inward.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child 's acquisition of each new skill——the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the begi nning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the c hild beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dang erous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a t oilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to lear n to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads . On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, o r without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthu siasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; oth ers are severe over time of coming home at night or punctualit y for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the ne eds of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growin g child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. Toforbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is bett er than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise w hat they teach, their children may grow confused, and emotio nally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themsel ves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their pa rents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappo intment.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in N o More Than Ten Words.)78. What may a child suffer, if he is encouraged to read before he knows the meaning of thewords? _______________________________________________ _______________________.79. A child who is not given enough learning opportunities wil l ___________________________.80. The fact that parents are greatly different in strictness tow ards children is due to __________________________________ _________________________________________.81. What are the two principles parents should adopt to devel op children' s moral standards?_____________________________________________________ ______________________.第Ⅱ卷I.
