2010届上海市高三英语二模汇编——回答问题(奉贤)An addiction (瘾) is an activity or substance we are eager to experience repeatedly, and for which we are willing if necessary to pay a price. Common addictions involve alcohol, cigarettes, food, drugs, gambling, etc. This article discusses the concepts which can be helpful in coping with addictive behavior.Relatively minor addictions, such as watching too much television, or lying in bed on weekend mornings, are often not even considered addictions, because the price paid for engaging in them is not high. On the other hand, we tend to use the term "addict" to describe the person who, at least in the eyes of others, continues to be addicted in a behavior long after it has become clear that the substantial price being paid was not worth the benefit. The individual who has lost career, house, family and friends because of cocaine (可卡因) use, but is unwilling to consider stopping is an unfortunate example.Negative addictions range from those with very minor negative consequences, to those as serious as the cocaine addict just mentioned, with much area in between. Although it is not necessarily true that a negative addiction grows stronger over time, yet a constant level of addictive behavior (e.g., overspending $ 200 a week ) can lead to an increasing level of negative consequences.You may be surprised to learn that addictions can also be considered positive. Positive addictions are those in which the benefits outweigh the price. A common example would be the habit of regular exercise. The price of membership in a gym, the time involved and any clothing expense is outweighed by the benefits of better health, energy, self-confidence and appearance. As with negative addictions, positive addictions may not get stronger over time, and there is a broad range of how much benefit is actually obtained.What is common to both positive and negative addictions is the urge to engage in the addictive behavior, and the satisfaction that is felt when the urge is acted upon. The urge is a state of tension and expectation that is experienced uncomfortably as a desire for the substance or activity. Because we experience relief when the urge is acted upon, there is an increased likelihood that we will act on the urge again.81. What does the passage mainly talk about?____________________________________.82. We use the term "addict" to describe a person when he or she goes on ______________even though he or she knows it is not worthwhile.83. Why is exercising in the gym considered to be a positive addiction?_______________________________________________________.84.

Palm Beach County public schools require 20, and most private schools require at least that much.The purpose: To give students the chance to explore a career and create a habit of volunteering.―We hope that when they finish high school they’ll continue service,‖ says Mike Roland, student activities officer for the Broward School District.About half of U.S. public schools require community service, according to a national study. Broward School Board member Bob Parks says encouraging community service has launched all kinds of new projects, including tutoring and food collections.Sooknanan, a student at South Broward High School, is part of the Humane Society of Broward County’s volunteer program,which is so popular that even the waiting list is closed. Students work one four-hour shift a week for four months, and leave with 64 volunteer hours.Sooknanan changes litter boxes and puts down fresh newspaper for about 100 cats.Combined with her volunteer hours at beach cleanups and helping teachers at school, she’s well on her way toward 250 hours, which she hopes will catch the eye of Nova Southeastern University, where she wants to study marine biology.Carroll, a junior student at South Plantation High, has connected with FLIPANY, a nonprofit organization that offers cheap physical activity and food to low-income families. He helps teach children about cooking and healthy eating.―It has been a life-changing experience,‖ says Carroll, who is now leaning toward a career as a sports trainer.

However, doing business in different countries is very rarely simple. It is important to be aware of the local customs and traditions of the people you are dealing with, which is the best way to impress your hosts.One example that comes to mind is of a German company that recently tried to gain a new contract in South Korea. The German visi tors arrived at the Korean company’s office early in the morning and spent the whole day in long meetings. By the evening, the Germans were so tired that they politely declined the Korean’s invitation to go out for dinner and drinks, since they wanted to return to their hotel and get some rest. The Germans did not u nderstand that in South Korea business talks often continue into the evening. The Germans only came to realize that they offended their hosts after they had lost the contract.In Europe or the USA, business is rarely discussed into the evening. However, it is important to be on time for a meeting. If you are late, your hosts may think you do not care. In fact, it is better to arrive at least ten minutes before the meeting starts. This way, you can show how keen you are to do business with them, and you will also have time to talk with your hosts before you sit down to discuss business.However, in many countries meetings may not start on time. There are a number of reasons for this, such as transport difficulties due to poor roads, unusual weather and the cost of cars. Sometimes the time of day is also important. In South America and many countries in southern Europe, people have a short sleep for a couple of hours after lunch. Therefore, if you try to arrange a meeting for the early afternoon, you may find that not many people will attend, or that you hosts will be in a bad mood.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. In Korea, what confuses many western businessmen is _______.82. In the West, what does a businessman do if he wants to show a keen attitude to the business ina negotiation?83. Where is it common for people to have a nap after lunch?84. According to the passage, it can be concluded that _______ helps a company make goodcontacts in different countries.81. that business talks often continue into the evening82. He arrives at the meeting at least ten minutes/a bit early.83. In South America and many countries in southern Europe.84. being aware of/ paying attention to the local customs and traditions（静安、杨浦、宝山、青浦）Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understanding —the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.―All men are created equal,‖ we heard it many times, but it still ha s important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to indicate equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children — the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capability, whether that capability is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children —disabled or not —to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.（Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. This passage is concerned primarily with the necessity of adapting ________________.82. What affects the growth of exceptional children according to the author?83. People have shown great interest in the education of exceptional children over the last threedecades because they believe that ________________________________________.84. According to the passage, what does ―All men are created equal‖ mean to the country’s founders?81. education to exceptional children82. Their family and the society.83. all citizens deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities84. It means/indicates everyone/anyone is equal before the law.（卢湾）(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) From Buckingham Palace to Oxford, the UK is loaded with wonderful icons(标志) of past eras. But it has also modernized with confidence. It’s now better known for vibrant(充满活力的) cities with great nightlife and a ttraction. Fashions, fine dining, clubbing, shopping —the UK is among the world’s best.Most people have strong preconceptions about the British. But if you’re one of these people, you’d be wise to abandon those ideas. V isit a nightclub in one of the big cities, a football match, or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable. It’s certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers, sports supporters, pet owners and gardeners than the UK.Getting around England is pretty easy. Budget airlines like Easyjet and Rynnair fly domestically. Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another. Long distance express buses are called coaches. Where coaches and buses run on the same route, coaches are more expensive (though quicker) than buses. London’s famous black cabs are excellent but expensive. Minicabs are cheaper competitors, with freelance (个体的) drivers. But usually you need to give a call first. London’s underground is called the Tube. It’s very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.The UK is not famous for its food. But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods. The most famous must be fish and chips. The fish and chips are deep fried in flour. English breakfast is something you need to try. It is fried bacon, with toast and a pot of tea. Other things like shepherd’s pie and Y orkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.Pubbing and Clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife, especially for the young. Pubbing means going to a pub with friends, having drinks, and chatting. Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a place of music, or a bar, or any other place to gather with friends. Clubbing can be found everywhere. Usually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing, such as no jeans, no sportswear, while pubbing is much more casual.76.If you are involved in the real life of local residents, you may find them______________________________.77.How many kinds of transportation forms are mentioned in the third paragraph? Giveexamples (at least four)._____________________________________________________________.78.When you go clubbing in the UK, you should not ______________________________.79.What aspects are introduced about UK according to the passage?_____________________________________________________________.76. humorous and hospitable.77. Seven kinds including trains, coaches, buses, undergroundect.78. wear jeans or sportswear.79. People, traffic, food and nightlife.（闵行）A new study suggests that the round-the-clock availability that cell phone have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobilephone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative ―spillover’’ between work and home life — and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.Spillover essentially means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance, or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mom at work, telling her ―microwave exploded‖, explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.This may be especially true for working w omen, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入) into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. B eing ―connected‖ meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life.Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are ―reasonable‖. For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.(Note: Write NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS for each question or statement.)81. By saying ―may be taking a toll on family life‖, the writer probably means that cell phone____________.82. As a result of negative ―spillover‖, people will feel ______________.83. The writer gave the example of ―microwave exploded‖ to indicate that ______________.84. According to Chesley, what could employees do to avoid spillover when they are not atwork?81. may be having bad effect on family life (brings negative spillover …)82. less satisfied with their family life83. family issues affect work hours (invade…)84. Power off their cell phones during family time (Turn off…)（浦东）Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less creative, somehow. When there's nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on the TV.One father, for example, says, "When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games. We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, 'I have nothing to do!'" He compares this with his own children today: "They're simply lazy. If someone doesn't entertain them, they'll happily sit there watching TV all day."There is one word for this father's disappointment', unfair. It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplores(哀叹) his children's lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something innate(天生的) that hischildren are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play — to imagine, to invent, to elaborate (描述) on reality in a playful way — and the ability to gain fulfillment from it, these are skills that have to be learned and developed.Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive. Sensing their parents' disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people.81.Accord in;; to many parents, without TV, their children would ask them to ___________ .82.Why is it unfair for the father to blame his children for not being able to entertain themselves?83.When parents show constant disappointment in their children, the destructive effect is that thechildren will __________84. According to the author, in what way can children's self-confidence be developed?81. be entertainers. / play with them./ entertain themselves./ be on call as entertainers./ act asentertainers.82. Because they should learn and develop the ability to play.Because they have to learn those skills (which are not innate).Because these abilities should be learned and developed.Because these abilities are not born with.83. lose self-confidence.believe that they are less worthy of admiration and respect.believe that they’re lacking of something.84. By giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons anddiscover the pleasures of doing things.By/Through playing and doing things on their own.（普陀）(E)So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful,enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.81 .The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_______82.The teaching of reading will be successful if ___________.83.The word "scrutiny" (Line 3, Para.3) most probably means________________84. What is the main idea of the passage ?81. too much time is spent in teaching about reading.82. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading83. observation84. Reading ability is something acquired rather than taught.（松江）Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion—a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, neither anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups. Society's economic functions would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no motivation to work. In fact, there would be no motivation of any kind. For as we will see, motivation implies a capacity to enjoy certain activities.In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we Categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us—hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life—from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how w;e keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. It gives high rewards to individuals when performing important tasks.81. According to the passage, the concept of right or wrong comes from___________.82. Emotions are significant for man's survival because___________.83. What would an emotionless world lack?84. What is the result of the absence of emotion?81. our emotional experience /(social feeling of agreement)82. they structure the world for us in important ways83. Rewards and punishments.84. People might not be, able to stay alive.(徐汇)The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, because college will help them earn more money and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the patter n are becoming more and more, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students get in the way of each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the competition for admission to graduate school.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy ca nnot take in an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. B ut disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. Perhaps college education does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way round, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place.（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. People used to think that going to college could help them ______________.82. What kind of people does "those who don't fit the pattern" in the 2nd paragraph probablyrefer to?83. The author believes that the problems of college education partly arise from the factthat___________.84. What can we learn about college education from the last paragraph?81. earn more money and learn to be more responsible citizens82. College students who do not succeed / aren't any better for their higher education.83. society cannot provide enough jobs for( properly) trained college graduates84. College education may not be suitable for every high school graduate.College education may not be the best for every young person.（闸北）(E)In many corners of the world, mass malnutrition is a deadly threat to people's life. It is plainly defined as a state of insufficiency of food for the population, where the majority of the people do not obtain enough food calories (~^S&M) to meet the lowest needs for support of physical work and for maintenance of health. Compared with wars or natural disasters like earthquake or flood, mass malnutrition is rather an unnoticeable health killer, which escapes enough public attention.In Latin America, as in other places, the frightening protein - shortage disease kwashiorkor has been said to take toll of thousands of children, greatly affecting the area's child population and leaves many more children in terribly poor health. The reason for the problem might lie in the traditional diets in the area which are not balanced in nutrition. Here people keep their eating pattern year after year without the knowledge of what these eating habits are doing to themselves and to future generations.In these poor areas, in stead of thoroughly altering- the local people' s long-term habits, the best way might be to find food substitutes which could meet nutritional needs. Mixtures of vegetable proteins, like soybeans and peanuts could provide cheap and useful protein where meat, eggs and milk are not within economic reach of large groups in population.Efforts could also be made to increase the agricultural productivity in some areas, where mass production of vegetable protein crops could bring life-saving nutrition to local people. Being used wrongly, large areas of land now are devoted to luxurious entertainment constructions, such as golf course or riding field, which are targeted at a small number of rich people. But isn’t a large area of productive planting land more acceptable and down — to — earth a choice to these countries suffering from mass malnutrition right now?(Note; Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)81. What is mass malnutrition?82. What does the underlined word "take toll of" probably mean?83. People can most effectively solve the mass malnutrition problem in some developing areas by ________.84. It would be wise to use large areas of planting land for________.81. A state of insufficiency of food for the population.82. kill83. finding food substitutes which could meet nutritional needs84. mass production of vegetable protein crops(长宁)Here is the VOA-news: India's, economy grew .by 7.9 percent in last three months, its fastest pace since last year's global financial crisis.

They loved each other. One day Mr. Jackson was asked by his manager to do some business in Paris. He should stay there for a month.Mrs. Jackson felt lonely and she called Mr. Jackson every night. She told him what she didduring the day and who came to her house and what happened in her town, etc.Mr. Jackson was worried that he had to pay a large bill for her telephone calls. He then decided to buy her a talking bird for her birthday. Several days later Mrs. Jackson told her husband on the phone that she was very happy to see the bird and it could say whatever she said to it, such as, “Good morning!”, “I love you.”, etc.After Mr. Jackson finished his work in Paris he came back home. He was surprised to see that his wife brought the cooked bird from the kitchen. Mrs. Jackson smiled while she was saying, “Oh, dear. Welcome home! Let‟s have a delicious meal tonight.”“Why did you kill the bird?” Mr. Jackson asked. “It could talk to you.” His wife answered, “Yes, that‟s true. When I said to it this morning …I should kill you‟, and the bird also said …I should kill you!‟ I was so frightened that I decided to kill it before I was killed by it. But when I started to kill it, it said nothing. Why didn‟t it say …No, please don‟t kill me then?‟ ”（Now listen again）Questions:11. Who asked Mr. Jackson to do some business in Paris?12. What is “a talking bird”?13. Why did Mrs. Jackson kill her bird?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Social scientists, teachers, and parents are troubled by the kinds of TV programs children choose to watch. These groups of people are concerned about the media‟s effects on young children. They are worried about the effects of televised violence on society as well as commercials for food. Most importantly, however, they feel TV is one factor that causes declining math and reading scores among schoolchildren. Because too much time is spent watching TV, children are spending less time reading and thinking independently.Indeed, youngsters are watching a lot of TV---an average of nearly four hours a day and about 25 hours a week. Upon entering kindergarten at age 5, a child already has spent more hours watching TV than he or she would spend earning a college degree. By the child‟s 18th birthday, more time has been spent watching TV than on any other single activity except sleep.Clever advertising aimed at children certainly influences them. Very young children don‟t even distinguish between commercials and programs. Is it fair to show advertising to young children? Many people think that it is not. The US government has yet to control children‟s advertising, but Canada imposed a limited ban on commercials aimed at children.（Now listen again）Questions:14. According to this passage, how much time do children spend watching TV every week?15. What can we infer from this passage?16. Why are children easy to be affected by TV?Part C Longer conversationsDirections:In section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversation will be read twice. After you hear the conversation, you will be required to fulfill the task by filling in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard.Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: I‟m so sick.

You‟ve been sick quite a bit since you got here, haven‟t you?M: Well, for the past few weeks, the weather here has been changing a lot. It‟s awful. One day it‟s hot outside, and the next day it‟s raining. No matter what I put on, I‟m always not dressedproperly for the day.W: You just haven‟t learned to predict the changing climate in this city yet. Many newcomers complain about the same problem. I‟ve been here for four years and I rarely get sick because I‟m always dressed properly for the weather. But when I first came, that was a different story. M: I know. But what can I do now?W: Actually, there is something you can do. I heard that there‟s a weather hotline you can call in the morning that will tell you the temperature for the day.M: Yes. I think I‟ve heard of that hotline.W: I‟d like to find out if it really helps. Maybe you can give them a call tomorrow morning and see if it helps your situation.M: Not me!

2010届上海市高三英语二模汇编——十选九（奉贤）Government statistics recently revealed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number are electrocuted(触电死亡) after 41 with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person’s heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid 42 to deal with such emergencies.What to do?If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don’t touch himor her!If they are still holding the appliance that has given them the shock, 43 it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances should you try to move the 44 with your hand!If you can’t turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to 45 the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spin injuries unless it is 46 necessary.It is necessary to maintain the victim’s body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, 47 mouth-to-mouth way. Keep the victim’s head low until 48 help arrives.If the electric shock has been caused by a(n) 49 power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.41. I 42.

Without a home inspection, you can never be sure what you're getting and when buying a home that's a lot of money to __41__ on uncertainty. A home inspection ensures that there are no __42__ and that you can enjoy your future home for years to come.A home inspection will __43__hiring a company to send a home inspector out to go through your potential home with you and thoroughly inspect everything to make sure there are no major problems that might not be obvious to the average home owner. He will go over all the wiring, plumbing(管道系统), the roof and the foundation to make sure everything is __44__ sound. At the same time as the home inspection it's always a good idea to have a pest (昆虫) inspection to check for damaging insects such as carpenter ants.Different states have different regulations for home inspections. So you need to be aware of what the requirements of your __45__ state are and make sure the inspector covers these areas. It’s a good idea to ask to see any __46__ certification, which a professional home inspector will gladly show you. It’s also best to make certain that your specific inspector has experience with your region. A local home inspector will better __47__ conditions in your area such as damp basements, winter damage to r oofing or cracks in the foundation caused by normal settling.A thorough home inspection takes time, so don’t settle for someone that you feel might be taking __48__. Many home inspectors are happy to have you accompany them on the inspection.A walk through with the home inspector is a great time to learn about how your home works and what to look for in terms of __49__ trouble.A home inspection is just absolutely necessary and one will provide much peace of mind once you move into your new home.41-45 CJDIH 46-49 EAGF（静安、杨浦、宝山、青浦）A. involveB. analysisC. immediatelyD. certainE. worthF. remarksG. upsetH. slightlyI. respondJ. noteWhy does a woman have the last (and longest) laugh? The answer is that women enjoy a joke more once they get it. If you tell a woman a joke and get a blank look, don’t 41 despair. She’s just taking her time to understand it. But if the punchline（妙语）does eventually make her laugh it will be 42 the wait.Scientists have found that while women are slower than men at getting jokes, they enjoy them more when they truly understand. Research shows that women use their brain more than men to process witty 43 and have less expectation that they will be funny.When a joke does hit the right 44 , however, women derive more pleasure from it. Scientists asked ten men and ten women to look at dozens of black and white cartoons and rate them on a “funniness scale”. During the process they underwent sophisticated scans that mapped which parts of their brain were lighting up and timed how long it took them to 45 to a joke. The women tended to use 46 parts of their brain. Professor Allan Reiss said: “We found greater activity in the parts of their brain in women, showing women are processing stimuli that 47 language areas of the brain.”The 48 of a “feelgood” brain region also revealed that men and women have different attitudes to humour. Experts said: “Women appeared to have less expectation of a reward. So they were more pleased about it.” The funnier the cartoon, the more the women’s parts of their brain lit up. This was not the case for men. The women took 49 longer than the men to react to jokes that were funny — but were quicker to spot the “truth”.41～49 CEFJIDABH（卢湾）Barack Obama has been a hit in China. Apart from holding talks with Chinese leaders, the president ___41___ the Chinese with a lively question-and-answer session with college students. In fact, he is the first U.S. president to visit China inside his first year in office.“The United States insists we do not seek to contain China’s rise,” he told Chinese students in Shanghai. “On the contrary, we welcome China as a strong and ___42___ and successful member of the community of nations.”The U.S.-China relationship has opened the door to partnerships on ___43 ___ global concerns including economic recovery, clean energy, climate change, and the ___44___ of peace and beyond, he added.Indeed, given these pressing issues, China and the United States have ___45___ found their future linked together. They discovered that the largest developing nation and the most powerful industrialized country have to work in concert.Obama’s visit to China on November 15-18 highlighted the complexity of arguably the mostimportant bilateral (双边) relationship in the world. Moreover, for all their differences and disagreements, Beijing and Washington are ___46___ to manage their relations in a way that will contribute to world peace and development.Obama kicked off his first state visit to China in the country’s financial and economic centre, Shanghai, where he held a “town hall”meeting with more than 500 Chinese students. The one-hour discussion, during which Obama took ___47___ ranging from antiterrorism to recipes for success with his signature charisma (领袖魅力), was broadcast live on the websites.He ___48___ that young people could help build bridges in U.S.-China ___49___ —a process that he said must grow beyond the two countries’ governments to take root in the people. 41—45 GDACJ 46—49 BHEISo long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to d o for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not 41 hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught 42 and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They 43 in kind and function. The function of teaching is to 44 the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that45 is not open to public examination.If teacher and learner roles are not 46 , what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the exploring for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching47 . “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them 48 , then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is49 . Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.41. B 42. D 43. A 44. J 45. G 46.

Generally speaking, the Accounts Department is __41__ for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department is interested in discussions with the employees about pay.If a firm wants to__42__a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a__43__of job evaluation and ways of measuring the performance of its employees. In order to be __44__, that new pay structure will need agreement between Trade Unions and employers, in job evaluation, all of the requirements of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, usually in "points", which are__45__ together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their__46__to solve problems. Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without__47__to an evaluation system based on points.In attempting to design a pay system, the Personnel Department should__48__the value of each job with these in the job market.__49__, payment for a job should vary with any differences in the way that the job is performed.

Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something__41__but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly__42__. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people,__43__in the customer giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods __44__ in almost every family are not __45__ needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the__46__, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in __47__and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time.

If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation without ___(42)___. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress.

Take hats, for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a(n) ___(46)___in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like in stead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The ___(47)___of jeans and the "untidy" look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashions of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes ___(48)___. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be___(49)___to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.People with a positive attitude toward aging can adjust very well when individual circumstances change. Their positive outlook allows them to 50 to the inevitable physical and biochemical changes of the body that are associated with the natural 51 of aging. With a healthy outlook on the golden years, even unpredictable setbacks and disabilities can be managed 52 .Individual genetic makeup (基因构造) explains the great 53 in the aging rate. Some seniors experience more challenges than others of the same age, and some seniors continue to function better than many younger people. But genetics only 54 about 30 percent of aging. Most of the changes we associate with age 55 factors such as diet and exercise habits; lifestyle issues, including over 56 of alcohol and tobacco, and psychological traits.We can make healthy lifestyle choices by staying 57 both physically and mentally and by 58 a healthy diet. Some of the setbacks associated with advancing age such as 59 eyesight, loss of hearing, forgetfulness, weakness can be forestalled with some active intervention（干预）.Growing older does not always mean you see poorly. Many older people have 60 good eyesight well into their eighties and beyond. However, the single greatest contributor to vision loss is a lifetime of 61 to damaging ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation in sunlight.Carotenoids（类胡萝卜素）, a nutrient found in brightly colored vegetables and fruits, are powerful protectors against free-radical damage. Research shows that simply eating leafy greens and other foods rich in these protective nutrients can 62 vision loss.Problems with hearing can create 63 and insecurity in later years. One of the major causes of age-related hearing loss is damage to the hair cells in the inner ear that transmit sounds to the brain. These hair cells and their nerve endings can be damaged by infections, genetic diseases, or treatment with certain drugs. The most common cause, 64 , is loud noise.50.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)From snow-clogged mountain roads to desert highways, freeways to crowded city streets, Californians face a variety of tough driving conditions. But thanks to savvy driving, they consume proportionately less gasoline the rest of the nation. Here, some tips from the Golden State that will help drivers all over the country to get up to 25% more miles per gallon! By SUSAN NESTORFREEW AY FRENZY●Try to maintain a steady speed — especially on freeways and expressways. Never exceeda steady 55 mph. Varying speed by as little as 5mph can reduce mileage by 1.5 miles pergallon. Avoid constant lane changes to “get ahead.”●Buy radial tyres. If you do a lot of expressway driving, they can increase mileage by as much as 10%. Your fuel savings will pay for the higher tyre price.ON CITY STREETS● Plan your route. City driving consumes about 50% more fuel than highway driving (100% more in crowed traffic). Always choose a route with synchronized traffic signals to get the best run for your money.● Avoid unnecessary braking. Anticipate（预期）traffic light changes; it takes a lot of extra gas to get the car up to speed again.COLD●In winter, keep the car in a garage. It will start up easier, and start-up time is when you use the most gasoline. No garage? Cover the engine compartment with an old blanket or rug to shield it from cold winds; remove before starting up.●Remove all ice and snow. Driving in snow consumes more gas anyway; no sense hauling around extra weight.65. All these above are ______ for drivers.A. noticesB. tipsC. lessonsD. advertisements66. Highway driving can use about ______ fuel than city driving.A. 20% moreB. 20% lessC. 50% moreD. 50% less67. Which of the following is TRUE?A. In winter, you will have difficulty starting up a car if it is kept in a garage.B. Drivers should avoid necessary breaking and constant lane changes.C. A steady 65 mph is the ideal speed to save gasoline.D. Radial tyres can help increase mileage in expressway driving.(B)Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among them his moving “I Have a Dream” speech. But f ew people know much about King’s childhood, Martin Luther as he was called was born in 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. Martin Luther’s grandfather, the Reverend A.D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, 28 years before Martin Luther was born. The Reverend A.D. Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community because so many people’s lives centered around the church. He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. Martin Luther grew up in this atmosphere, with his home being used as community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it.Martin Luther’s childhood was not especially memorable. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all-black schools in a black neighbourhood. The neighbourhood was not poor, however, Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighbourhood that he had come to symbolize achievement for Atlanta’s black people. It was area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers and other black-owned or black-operated businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation (种族隔离), district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice（歧视）that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from minglingwith whites.68. This passage mainly gives an account of ______.A. the prejudice that existed in AtlantaB. Martin Luther’s grandfatherC. Martin Luther King’s childhoodD. the neighbourhood where King grew up69. According to the author, King was influenced by ______.A. community spiritB. black lawyerC. his motherD. his grandfather’s speeches70. The word “mingling” in paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to ______.A. interferingB. consumingC. associatingD. meeting71. This passage tells us that Martin Luther King, Jr. ______.A. had a difficult childhoodB. was a good musician when he was a boyC. loved to listen to his grandfather speakD. grew up in a relatively rich area of Atlanta(C)A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts（冷暖空气团接触的锋）to determine whether an individual pressure area is deepening or becoming shallow and whether a front is increasing or decreasing in intensity. They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal a synoptic picture of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts, droughts, and all climatic conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day “outlook” which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These 30-day outlooks are based upon an analysis of the upper air levels which often set the stage for the development of air masses, fronts, and storms.Considerable effort is being exerted today to achieve more accurate weather predictions. With the use of electronic instruments and earth satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations (气象站). Extensive experiments are also in progress for weather modification（改变）studies. But the limitations of modification have prevented meteorological results except in the seeding of super-cooled, upslope mountainous winds which have produced additional orographic (山岳形态的) precipitation on the windward side of mountain ranges.Nevertheless, they have provided a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of weather elements.72. By reading weather maps, students majoring in geography can .A. design a project of weather modificationB. interpret the weather condition before the time of observationC. obtain data on atmospheric conditions over a wide areaD. survey ever-changing fronts in local meteorological stations73. A thirty-day forecast is determined by examining .A. daily weather mapsB. upper air levelsC. satellite reportsD. changing fronts74. The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous because ______.A. electronic instruments are usedB. it enables man to alter the weatherC. it makes weather prediction more time-consumingD. information not obtained readily otherwise can be gained75. At the present time, experiments are being conducted in .A. controlling and influencing weatherB. determining density of pressure groupsC. 30-day “outlooks”D. predicting stormsSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.The first characteristic of an educated man is the precision of the use of the native language. When one hears English well spoken, with pure diction, correct pronunciation, and an almost unconscious choice of the right word, he recognizes it at once. How much easier he finds it to imitate English of the other sort.77.When manners are artificial and forced, no matter what their form, they are bad manners. When, however, they are the natural expression of fixed habits of thought and action, and when they reveal a refined and cultivated nature, they are good manners. There are certainthings that gentlemen do not do, and they do not do them simply because they are bad manners.78.Human beings for the most part live wholly on the surface or far beyond the present moment and that part of the future that is quickly to follow it. They do not read those works of prose and poetry which have become classic because they reveal power and habit of reflection and induce that power and habit in others. When one reflects long enough to ask the question how? He is on the way to knowing something about science.79.An educated man continues to grow and develop from birth to his dying day. His interests expand, his contacts multiply, his knowledge increases, and his reflection becomes deeper and wider. It would appear to be true that not many human beings, even those who have had a school and college education, continue to grow after they are twenty-four or twenty-five years of age. By that time it is usual to settle down to life on a level of more or less contented intellectual interest and activity. The whole present-day movement for adult education is a systematic and definite attempt to keep human beings growing long after they have left school and college, and therefore, to help educate them.80.The more visionary dreamer, however charming or however wise, lacks something that an education requires. The power to do may be exercised in any one of a thousand ways, but when it clearly shows itself, that is evidence that the period of discipline of study and of companionship with parents and teachers has not been in vain.SectionＤDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understanding — the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.“All men are created equal,” we heard it many times, but it still has important meaningfor education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to indicate equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children —the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capability, whether that capability is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children — disabled or not — to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. This passage is concerned primarily with the necessity of adapting ________________.82. What affects the growth of exceptional children according to the author?83. People have shown great interest in the education of exceptional children over the lastthree decades because they believe that ________________________________________.84. According to the passage, what does “All men are created equal” mean to the country’sfounders?第II卷（共 45 分）I.

BEIJING - The general office of the State Council 41 a plan on Monday to improve national food safety, setting the tone for this year's program, which includes emphasizing the accountability（问责制）of the system.As part of a two-year 42 that began last month, the plan details 11 points for reforming food safety in China, aiming to solve problems and 43 public confidence in the products that are available on the market.One of the points concerned the quality of farm products."Tests on pesticide residues in vegetables, fruits, teas, domestic fungus, animal products and sea food should be enforced. Regulations on pesticide production and sales, 44 random checks on pesticide quality, should be 45 ," according to the plan.The statement follows a recent food scandal in which a banned pesticide was found in some cowpeas （豇豆）grown in Hainan province that were sold in several parts of the country, including Hubei, Guangdong, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.The plan, which requires increased supervision of fresh dairy products, also proposed a clampdown（取缔）on 46 purchasing stations as well as severe punishments for the use of the banned medications malachite green （孔雀石绿）in the aquaculture（水产养殖）industry.Other points include banning illegal food additives, improving food production and processing, as well as the importing and exporting of food.The work plan has brought food production and processing into focus and placed an 47 on establishing the accountability of the food safety system."Any governmental department that fails to fulfill its duty should be 48 punished. Responsible persons 49 with late and concealed reports on food safety accidents will be called to account," the plan stated. III. Reading Comprehension (15 分)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase thatbest fits the context.Email has had a good run as king of communications. But its leading position is over. In its place, a new 50 of services is starting to take hold -- services like Twitter and Facebook and countless others competing for a piece of the new world.Years ago, we were 51 if it took a few days for a letter to arrive. A couple of years ago, we'd complain about a half-hour 52 in getting an email. Today, we make complaints about it taking an extra few seconds for a text message to 53 . In a few months, we may be complaining that our cell phones aren't automatically able to send 54 to friends within a certain distance, letting them know we're nearby. (A number of services already do this.)These new services also make communicating more 55 and informal -- more like a blog comment or a throwaway aside, rather than a crafted email sent to one person. No need to spend time 56 a long email to your half-dozen closest friends about how your vacation went. Now those friends, if they're interested, can watch it unfold in real time online. 57 sending a few emails a week to a handful of friends, you can send dozens of messages a day to hundreds of people who know you, or just 58 do.But the 59 and ease of communication cut both ways. While making communication more frequent, they can also make it less 60 and intimate. Communicating is becoming so easy that the recipient knows how little time and thought was required of the sender. Yes, your half-dozen closest friends can read your vacation updates. But so can your 500 other friends. And if you know all these people are 61 your updates, you might say a lot less than you would otherwise.That can make it harder to determine the 62 of various messages. In the new messaging world, you have a lot of personal information, packed with data you want to share and possibly some you don't. Such information has its pluses and minuses. It can 63 the people communicating closer, allowing them to exchange not only text but also all sorts of personal information, even facial cues. You know a lot about the person you are talking to, even before you've ever 64 a single word.50. A. competition B. generation C. comparison D. revolution51. A. satisfied B. overjoyed C. relieved D. frustrated52. A. delay B. advance C. access D. composition53. A. lead to B. refer to C. go through D. look through54. A. messages B. parcels C. copies D. essays55. A. convenient B. frequent C. remote D. public56. A. deleting B. receiving C. obtaining D. writing57. A. In spite of B. Because of C. Instead of D. Regardless of58. A. barely B. simply C. normally D. completely59. A. worry B. anxiety C. speed D. comfort60. A. public B. personal C. close D. distant61. A. downloading B. surfing C. previewing D. reading62. A. importance B. convenience C. reaction D. attitude63. A. arouse B. draw C. prevent D. oppose64. A. spoken B. talked C. exchanged D. expressed Section B （22 分）Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One day a philosophy professor stood before his class and picked up a large empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks, He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. He then added a box of pebbles (鹅卵石)to the jar, shaking it lightly The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. "Is the jar filled now?" The students said yes.But then he poured a bag of sand into the bottle. The sand filled in everything else. Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.The professor then opened two cans of beer and poured them into the jar. The students roared at this demonstration .The professor spoke again: "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things in your life: your family, your partner, your health, your children... things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full, The pebbles are the other things that matter.., like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks,""The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.. Play with your children. T ake time to get medical checkups. Take care of the rocks first. The else is just sand."Then One of the students asked what the beer represented."It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers "65. What do rocks represent according to the passage?A. Things you have to do every day, like cooking and washing.B. Things without which you can't live, like house and jobC. Things that make your life full, like your family, children, partner and health.D. Things that help to relax yourself, like reading and watching TV.66. What can we learn from the passage?A. We should observe carefully when the teacher is doing the experiment.B. Never spend time and energy on the small stuff.C. Beer is necessary for life.D. T ake care of the most important things first.67. What do you think of the professor?A. Strict and thoughtful.B. Wise and humorous.C. Distinguished and sociable.D. Pleasant and ridiculous.68. Why did the professor do this demonstration?A. To teach students the philosophy in life.B. To teach them how to put more things into limited spaceC. To show the students when the jar can be called full.D. To make students know the order of doing experiments. （B）Working hard for funNo more pencils! No more booksNo more teacher’s serious looks!After a long period of study and work, the young Americans burst through the school doors singing.But unfortunately, American students do very poorly and are among the worst students in the world. In the entire field of subjects---from geography and maths to science and general knowledge. American students are the poorest performers. Why? What’s the reason behind the scene? One problem lies in the fact that so little is expected from them. The standards of success are too low. Teachers are not willing to give out low grades and fail students. Besides, the existing negative results are few and mean little to students if their performance in study is poor . Of success some students realize that a high school diploma is a measure of success and will be important to get a job or get admitted into college. But they only have to go through the motions without really trying. They learn to get by with a minimum of effort.In America, it is simply too easy for high school students to enter college. This forms a sharp contrast with the students in China and other Asian countries who have to suffer heavy pressure from parents, teachers and cruel social facts. Chinese students have to study hard for long years to pass the national college entrance examination which few Americans will take such trouble to enter to university. The majority American students know that they will be able to get into some college, so they do not really worry about it.It turns out that American high school students are just too busy to find time to study. They spend almost no time on study while students from other countries spend four or five hours per day on homework. American students on the average give less than five hours per week to their studies. Learning and reading for future are not important to them. Many American never read. It is little wonder why Americans knows less than students from other countries.69. Why are American students the poorest performers in the entire field of subjects?A. Because they are too busy to find time to study.B. Because they are too stupid and too lazy.C. Because they care little about their study.D. Because so little is required from them70. Which of the following is Not true ?A. Most of American students spend lees than five hours on their study every week.B. Few American students have trouble to enter college.C.

But could this tall grass lower the nation’s dependence on foreign oil?The Department of Energy plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to help produce fuels from materials that are not part of the food supply. Growing corn, or maize, for fuel has raised concerns about the supply and cost of corn available for food and animal feed.Fuel made from switchgrass or forestry waste like sawdust(锯屑) is known as cellulosic(有纤维质的) ethanol(酒精). Department officials say it contains more energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases than ethanol made from corn. Switchgrass is also easier to grow.Last month, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study of switchgrass grown on low-quality land. Government scientist Ken Vogel was the lead author. The study says the switchgrass produced five times more energy than was needed to grow it. Also, it says switchgrass, over its lifetime from crop to fuel, produces much less carbon compared to gasoline.Fossil fuels like oil take carbon from the ground and release it as waste gas when the fuel is burned. Biofuels(生物燃料) like corn and cellulosic ethanol also produce greenhouse gases, through growing crops and making the fuel. The difference is that biofuels remove carbon from the atmosphere through the growth of the feedstock, the material for the fuel.Science magazine just published two studies of biofuels and the heat-trapping gases that scientists link to climate change. One of the reports notes that most studies have found that substituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse gases.But it says the earlier studies failed to count the carbon released into the atmosphere as farmers worldwide react to higher prices. They are clearing forests and grasslands to make way for new cropland to replace the grain used for biofuels. Doing so can release much of the carbon stored in the plants and soil, and sacrifice future storage.The study found that corn-based ethanol could increase greenhouse gases for years from land use change. And it found that biofuels from switchgrass, if grown on American corn land, could also increase emissions, though by less. The study team, led by Timothy Searchinger at Princeton University, says theresult shows the value of using waste products for fuel. The other report says carbon savings depend on how biofuels are produced.72．Switchgrass is a better fuel than corn in all the following aspects except .A．switchgrass grows on low–quality landB．switchgrass produces more energy than cornC．switchgrass produces fewer greenhouse gases than cornD．swiotchgrass is easier to grow73．It is implied in the underlined sentence that .A．an increasing number of people worry about the use of corn as fuelB．there will be an increase in price of corn for food if it is used as fuelC．there will be an decrease in quantity of corn for food if it is used as fuelD．all the above choices are right74．Biofuels produces much less carbon compared to Fossil fuels in that .

Helping them enjoy science can be easy: there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity.77.___________________Firstly, listen to their question. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’ve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long pause,a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.78.__________________Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time ” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.79.__________________Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behaviour. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn’t make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want within as few words as possible so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.80.__________________Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson. Children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass, and th ey’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop. Section D （8 分）Direction: Rea the following passage carefully . Then answer the questions or complete the statement in the fewest possile words.( 注意：该部分的答案请填写在答题纸的相应部分)Consistent with evidence that physical attractiveness is related to obtaining employment and promotion, more attractive employees also have been found to enjoy more economic success in their careers. A recent study looked at the careers of 2,500 law students from a famous law school in the United States. An independent group of raters(评估人) rated the students' appearance on a scale from one to five. Five years after graduation, those of above-average attractiveness were earning eight to nine percent more than those of below-average attractiveness. After 15 years, those of above-average appearance were earning 12 to 13 percent more.The research on attractiveness and salaries also suggests that attractiveness is more consistently related to economic success for men than for women. Roszell, Kennedy, and Grabb (1989) examined the relationship of attractiveness to income gaining for over 1,000 Canadians. Attractive persons earned higher annual salaries than less attractive persons. With each increase in ratedattractiveness on a five-point scale of attractiveness, the 1981 annual income of the respondent (应答者,被测者) increased by $1,988. After controlling for respondent gender, the gender composition of the job, and 1979 salary, this figure dropped to 1,046 but was still statistically significant. This relationship was found among men, older employees, and those engaged in male-dominated occupations, but not among women, younger employees, and those in female-dominated occupations.Two studies at the University of Pittsburgh have provided further evidence that good looks pay. In one study, Good, Olson, and Frieze (1986) used height, weight, and body mass (weight relative to height) as indicators of physical attractiveness. They surveyed over 2,000 M.B.A. graduates of the University of Pittsburgh who graduated between 1973 and 1982. For men, weight but not height was found to predict starting salary, and both height and weight predicted the current (1983) salary. However, neither of these variables predicted the starting and current salary of the women in the sample. For each one-inch increase in height, the salary of the men was $600 higher. Overweight men earned $4,000 less in salary than those of normal weight.81.
