第I卷第一部分：阅读理解第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AWhen your parents advi se you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源）for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master‟s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation‟s demand as a sourc e of manpower2. Many doctors are out of job because ______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Bernard Shaw didn‟t finish high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master‟s degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you‟ll be overeducated for society‟s demands.4. The writer sees education as ______.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country‟sdemands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one‟s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveBMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren‟t quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I‟d flown to Montreal to speak at a book e vent. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who‟s on our wanted list. We‟re going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to say…a few minutes,” he said, “We‟ll call you when we‟re ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadn‟t decided an ything about me.“Isn‟t this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Can‟t you just look me up?”“Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. A n officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be callinga terrorist cell and giving them information.”“I‟m just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “I‟m an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of the officers. “You‟re free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you aren‟t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I don‟t know—I don‟t know of anyone who‟s ever written to them before.” Then he added,” By the way, this will probably keep happeni ng each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile we‟d seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I‟ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn‟t stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”—a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone‟s personal and professional identity—just like the town you‟re born in and the place where you‟re raised.Like my father, I‟ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.5. The author was held at the airport because ______.A. she and her husband returned from JamaicaB. her name was similar to a terrorist‟sC. she had been held in MontrealD. she had spoken at a book event6. She was not allowed to call her friends because ______.A. her identity hadn‟t been confirmed yetB. she had been held for only one hour and a halfC. there were other families in the waiting roomD. she couldn‟t use her own cell phone7. We learn from the passage that the author would ______ to prevent similar experience fromhappening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothing8. Her experiences indicate that there still exists ______ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversityCA young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.A. decorationB. clarificationC. movementD. identification10. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive11. For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .A. hardly existsB. is the strongestC. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearance12. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.A. dye your hairB. make up at a young ageC. follow the ageing processD. give up fame and wealthD“Enough” with the multivitamins already. That‟s the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier?“We believe that the case is clo sed - supplementing(补充) the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not …waste‟ their money on multivitamins. “The …stop wasting your money‟ means that perhaps you‟re spending money on things that won‟t protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, be ans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”The strong message was based on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(认知的) measures. The first study looked at vitamin supplementation‟s role in preventing chronic(慢性的) disease. The next study looked at whether long-term use of multivitamins would have any effect on slowing cognitive decline. The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing heart attack. “The three studies found no difference in rates of chronic disease, heart attack and the need for hospitalization between vitamin-takers and placebo(安慰剂)-takers.” Dr. Edgar Miller stated.One expert agreed some nutrient-deficient people may still benefit from multivitamins. “There might be an argument to continue taking a multi(vitamin) to replace or supplement your not healthy diet,” Dr. Edgar Miller added. He also notes that vi tamins can benefit people with celiac disease and those who are pregnant.13. This text is likely to be selected from a book of .A. medicineB. educationC. foodD. business14. Which of the following is NOT Dr. Edgar Miller‟s opini on according to the passage?A. Vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.B. Having a balanced diet and exercising would probably be a better way to keep healthy.C. The three studies do not provide support for use of multivitamin supplements.D. Taking vitamins to replace or supplement your healthy diet is necessary.15. What can be inferred from the text?A. Vitamin supplements have proved harmful to the health of adults.B. Vitamin supplements are beneficial in certain conditions.C. Nowadays taking vitamin supplements is common to most people.D. Daily multivitamins will make you healthier.16. The author‟s purpose of writing the text is most likely to___________. .A. persuadeB. describeC. informD. instruct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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and —WHUMP! —it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. " That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?""Please, mister, please....I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It’s my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. "Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman," Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE — a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.36. The boy threw a brick at the businessman’s car because ________.A. the businessman drove at a high speedB. he envied the brand-new car very muchC. he wanted to ask for some moneyD. he wanted to get help from the driver37.

The two kids were Josh’s neighbors.C. Josh was a kind-hearted man.D. Josh’s new car broke down easily.39. According to the passage, the last sentence means ________.A. trying to get ready for the trouble in your future lifeB. driving fast in a neighborhood street is dangerousC. trying to be more understanding seeing others in troubleD. protecting oneself from being hurtB“Children who eat less salt and drink fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks may significantly lower their risks of obesity,” researchers recently reported in the journal Hypertension.“Sugar-sweetened soft drinks are a significant source of calorie intake in children,” said Feng J. He, a researcher at St George’s University o f London, England. “It has been shown that sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption is related to obesity in young people.” They wanted to know whether there is a link between salt intake and sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption.Dr He and colleagues analyzed data from a 1997 national survey of more than 2,000 people between 4 and 18 in Britain. “We found that children eating a lower-salt diet drank less fluid,” said He. “From our research, we estimated that 1 gram of salt cut from their daily diet would reduce fluid intake by 100 grams per day.”The researchers also found that children eating a lower-salt diet drank fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks. From their research, they predicted that reducing salt intake by 1 gram each day would reduce sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption by 27 grams pe r day, after. “If children aged 4 to 18 cut their salt intake by half,there would be a decrease of about two sugar-sweetened soft drinks per week per child, so each child would decrease calorie intake by almost 250 kilocalories per week,” Dr He said.In previous studies, researchers found that a low-salt diet lowers blood pressure in children, and prevents the development of high blood pressure later in life. “Both high blood pressure and obesity increase the risk of having strokes and heart attacks,” Dr He said.Dr He recommends that parents check labels and choose low-salt food products. “Small reductions in the salt content of 10 to 20 percent cannot be detected by the human salt taste receptors (感受器) and do not cause any technological or safety problems,” Dr He said.40. According to the passage, obesity is directly linked to ______.A. high-salt foodsB. sugar-sweetened soft drinksC. high blood pressureD. strokes and heart attacks41. Compared with previous studies, the recent one found that ______.A. a lower-salt diet may mean less sugar-sweetened soft drink consumptionB. a low-salt diet keeps children out of high blood pressureC. children face the risk of having strokes and heart attacksD. low-salt food products do no t do harm to people’s health42. Which of the following statements would Dr He agree to?A. The less salt people eat, the healthier people become.B. Children should reduce fluid intake in their daily life.C. No high-salt food products will be available in shops.D. A low-salt diet may prevent both high blood pressure and obesity.43. After reading the passage, who should take effective action?A. Children.B. Parents.C. Doctors.D. Researchers.CThe small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia.When people talk about it，you can hear a word invented in Japan，“DINKS”，which means Double Income No Kids(小孩).In many major Asian cities like Seoul，Singapore，and Tokyo，the cost of a houseis extremely high.A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $300,000(though prices have fallen).For a flat with one bedroom，onedining-room，a kitchen，and a bathroom，the couple will pay about $900 a month.What’s more，if they want to have a child，the child’s ed ucation is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5,000 a year.In such a situation，it’s difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However，if they want to have children，they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby，they expect women with babies to give up their jobs.In short，if they want to bring up children properly，both parents have to work，but it is hard for mothers to work.Indeed，women who want to continue working haveto choose between having children or keeping their jobs.In a word，Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situationas soon as possible.44.What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?A.The small number of newborn babies.B.The changing social situation of women.C.The high prices of houses and education.D.The necessary steps of Asian governments.45.According to the passage，which of the following is true?A.It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia.B.The prices of houses in Asia are quite low now.C.Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.D.The word“DINKS”first appeared i n an Asian country.46.To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten，how much will a couple pay each year?A.$5,000.B.$5,900.C.$10,800.D.$15,800.47.The writer seems to believe that Asian governments should___.A.let women stay at home and have a babyB.allow only one of the parents to go out to workC.care for the growing needs of women for jobsD.punish the companies that permit women to leaveDWord PowerAuthor(s): Kaplan $13.95You’ll never be at a loss for words again.

AModern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.Traveling by train is slower than by air, but it has its own advantages. For example, you can see the country you are traveling through. Besides, modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable and comfortable.Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish—where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.1. From the passage, we know the fastest way of traveling is ______.A. by carB. by trainC. by airD. by sea2. If we travel by car, we can ______.A. make the longest journey enjoyableB. make our own timetableC. travel to a very far place in several minutesD. travel only fifty or one hundred miles a day3. The underlined word “They” in the second paragraph refers to ______.A. modern trains in the countryB. comfortable seats and dining carsC. the travelers on the modern trainD. the slower ways of traveling4. When people travel on business, they usually take ______.A. a train or a planeB. a boat or a trainC. a plane or a carD. a car or a boatBIf you go into the forest with friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up the shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard you r signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun- shots. When someone gives a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house —cover up the holes with branches(树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You will have to leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you c an find your way back.The most important thing to do when you are lost is —stay in one place.5. If you get lost in the forest, the most important thing you should do is _______.A. find your friendsB. look for a riverC. stay where you areD. shout for help6. If you want to let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun you should ________.A. shout that you have got lostB. keep up the shouting or whistling three times togetherC. shout at the top of your voiceD. shout or whistle once in a while7.

Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born. I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger everyday. There were happy days and tragic days; some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t.In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn’t have much time to think. Every day, I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly.Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working, I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change colour and give us delicious fruits.But the days keep getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker.
