Such words are called“learned”,andthe(20)--between them and the “popular”words is of great importance to a right understanding oflinguistic process.1.A.at B.with C.by D.through2.A.study B.imitate C.stimulate D.learn3.A.mates B.relatives C.members D.fellows4.A.which B.that C.those D.ones5.A.even B.despite C.even if D.in spite of6.A.mind B.concern C.care D.involve7.A.hire B.apply C.adopt e8.A.in public B.at most C.at large D.at best9.A.right B.privilege C.share D.possession10.A.consists prises C.constitutes poses11.A.seldom B.much C.never D.often12.A.prospect B.way C.reason D.necessity13.A.primary B.first C.principal D.prior14.A.tips B.mouth C.lips D.tongue15.A.besides B.and C.or D.but16.A.hear of B.attend C.hear from D.listen17.A.former B.formula C.formal D.formative18.A.theme B.topic C.idea D.point19.A.border B.link C.degree D.extent20.A.diversion B.distinction C.diversity D.similarity三、阅读理解(共25分)Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place,television is not only a convenient source of entertainment,but also a comparatively cheap one.With a TV set in thefamily people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre,the cinema,or the opera.All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob,and they can see plays,films,operas and shows of every kind. Some people,however,think that this is where the danger lies.The television viewers need do nothing.He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control.He makes no choice and exercises,no judgment.He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television,it is often said,keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics.The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room.It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living,much more real.Yet here again there is a danger.The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us.We get so used to looking at the movements on it,so dependent on its pictures,that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again.It makes one think,doesn’t it?There are many other arguments for and against television.We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad.It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.1.What is the major function of paragraph1?A.To arouse the reader’s concernB.To introduce the theme of the wholeC.To summarize the wholeD.To sate the primary uses of TV2.Television,as a source of entertainment,is______.A.not very convenientB.very expensiveC.quite dangerousD.relatively cheap3.Why are some people against TV?A.Because TV programs re not interestingB.Because TV viewers are totally passiveC.Because TV prices are very high.D.Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages4.One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that______.A.it keeps us informedB.it is very cheapC.it enables us to have a restD.it controls our lives5.According to the,whether TV is good or not depends on_______.A.its qualityB.people’s attitude towards itC.how we use itD.when we use it四、书面表达:(满分15分)请你写封信给你的朋友marry告诉他,请他关照下你的朋友,内容重点如下:1.告诉这个消息2.请他给你朋友一些建议并给予指导注意:字数应为120词左右参考答案:一、选择题:1-5题:CACCA11-15题:DBABD11-15题:ADCAB16-20题:BBABB二、完型填空1【.答案】B本句中由with which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词those words。

The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendshiop and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athlets should not be excluded.1.The first games for the desabled were held _____ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.A.40 yearsB.21 yearsC.10 yearsD.9 years2.Besides Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held in _____.A.New YorkB.LondonC.RomeD.Los Angeles3.In Paragraph 3,the word "athletes" means _____.A.people who support the gamesB.people who watch the gamesC.people who organize the gamesD.people who compete in the games4.Which of the following statements in NOT true?A.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.C.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.D.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.5.From the ,we may conclude that the writer is _____.A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB.a disabled person who once took part in the gamesC.against holding the games for the disabledD.in favour of holding the games for the disabled四、书面表达:请起草一份中学学校通知,用一段话说明以下要点:参观日期: 3月25日,星期天时间:早上8点钟出发。

They are retired, so they don't workanymore. My grandfather is 68 and my grandmother is 67, but they are not tooold to be active. They exercise by playing golf and they go out for mealsand to the theater. Sometimes they take me out, too. We have a good time. Theyalso go on great holidays. Last year, they went to China and walked along theGreat Wall!Sometimes, my grandparents like to criticize me. They think that childrentoday have an easy life. Life was very different when they were young and thereare many things about my life that they do not understand. They tell me, overand over, how they had to start work at 16. They know that I will go on touniversity and won't be getting a job until I am 22! They also think that Ihave too many possessions, such as mobile phones, computers and PSPs. When theywere young, they did not have anything like that. What they do not realize isthat they cannot compare children at present time.

In their search for precision,scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their "ticking".This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration.The nitrogen atom in ammonia, for example,vibrates or"ticks"24billion times a seconD.One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probaly lose no more than a second in3000years.It will be of great improtance in fields such as astronomical is a sesium atom that vibrates9.2billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water.An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecue may be used to check the accuracy ofpredictions based on Einstein's relativity theories,according to which a clock in motion and a clock at rest should keep time differently.Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of18000miles an hour,the clock could broadcast its time readings to a ground station,where they would be compared with the readings on a similar model.Whatever differences develop would be checked against the differences predicteD.1.Scientists expect that the atomic clocks will be______.A.more preciseB.absolutely accurateC.more durableD.indestructible2.The heart of the atomichron is_______.A.acesium atomB.an ammonia moleculeC.a nitrogen atomD.a hydrogen3.From theselection,we may assume that temperature changes_______.A.affect only ammonia moleculesB.may affect the vibration rate of atomsC.affect the speed at which atoms travelD.do not affect atoms in any way4.Identical atomic clocks may be used to check______.A.the effect of outer space on an atomic clockB.the actual speed of an orbiting sateliteC.the accuacy of predictions based on theories of relativityD.all of Einstein's theories5.Implied but not stated:_______.A.Precise timekeeping is essential in scienceB.Scientists expect to disprove Einstein's relativity theoriesC.Atomic clocks will be important in space flightD.The rate of vibration of an atom never varies二、完型填空完型填空(一)Exercise is good for you,but most people really know very little about how to exercise properly.1when you try,you can runsintostrouble.Many people2that

I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was 13 and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to : Los Angeles, Chicago, London.But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I wandered theworld through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the tsar(沙皇) with Anna Karenina.My home was in a pleasant outside Philadelphia. But really lived, truly lived, somewhere else. I lived within the covers of books. I traveled, not only to the other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child—on airplanes and in rains. And the irony (具有讽刺意味的事) is that I don’t care for it very much.I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.(S4) It turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey too. They are home.( ) 1. What did the writer do as a curious child?A) She visited Victorian England and Tsarist Russia.B) She flew to Los Angeles, Chicago and London with her parents.C) She read all kinds of books.D) She spent lots of time traveling on trains.( ) 2. How does the author feel about travel today?A) She doesn’t like it very much.B) She takes great pleasure in it.C) She feels tired of it.D) She feels as excited as when she was young.( ) 3. What did the author learn from books as a child?A) About many foreign places.B) About many historical figures.C) About the outside world as well as her own self.D) About the ironies of life.( ) 4. We can infer from the passage that when traveling by air, the author spends most of her time on the way ___________.A) reading booksB) resting herselfC) imagining thingsD) letting her spirit soar( ) 5. In this passage the author mainly talks about ________.A) the wonders of travelB) her growth from an innocent child to a learned womanC) the benefits of readingD) the difference between childhood dreams and life’s realitiesPassage twoThis story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every waking moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that is when I met him.Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I didn’t feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mix with others because of my self-esteem (自尊心) problem. Finally I got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling (感人的) smile. We spent the rest of the evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he could not stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too.About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked their approval (同意) because they were the “men of the house” at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since. Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life.
