One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) in the birds‟ bodies that may prepar e them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.11. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds _________A) stopped migrating B) continued migratingC) stayed in the north D) migrated south and stayed there12. The author states that birds left the tropics because _____A) there was not enough food there in the winter B) there were too many birdsC) there were too many glaciers D) there was too much daylight13. Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?A) To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birdsB) To test the relationship between daylight and migrationC) To test the relationship between migration and temperatureD) To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season14. According to the theory of photo-periodism, ________A) birds should migrate in the middle of the winterB) longer days cause changes in the bodies of birdsC) seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationD) increasing daylight increases the distance of migration15. This passage supports the belief that _________A) exact reasons for migration are not knownB) birds migrate because of changes in temperatureC) the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsD) glaciers caused birds to migrateQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:In Guangzhou, capital of South China‟s Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday.And the airport‟s flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 per cent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.Guangzhou Baiyan International Airport had to cancel some international services to Southeast Asian countries and regions because of the outbreak of ASRS beginning in April, the official said. The official predicted his airport‟s international service would return to normal operation and handle even more international passengers in August. Currently, the Guangzhou airport is operating 22 international flights to 20 foreign metropolises. And nine foreign airlines have resumed their international flights to the airport.16. In July Guangzhou Baiyun international Airport resumed its international service to ____________.A. the whole worldB. only four southeastern nationsC. the southeast Asian nationsD. All Asian nations.17. The air port‟s flow of international passengers for July is ______ the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.A. 20% ofB. 20% less thanC. 80% more thanD. 80% less than18. Because of the outbreak of SARS, the airport ____________.A. reduced its service to some regions.B. reduced its service to all regions.C. reduced its service to some areas while adding to some other regions.D. canceled all its services to southeast Asian countries.19. Which of the following is true?A The international service in August would be as much as in July.B The flow of international passengers will be more than that in July.C The airport will provide less service than in July.D The flow of international passengers will be more than that in usual time.20. The report is mainly about ____________.A the operation of Guanzhou Baiyun International AirportB where people should go to visit after SARSC the prediction of what will happen to transport and tourism after SARSD. the resuming service in Guangzhou Baiyun International AirportQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:It is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces—things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves.Convenient flats, “motherly” visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up fo r the fundamental need whichmust be satisfied—the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one‟s fellows.21. Many people are not aware that it is rather rude to ________.A) talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not there B) show sympathy for the oldC) take care of the old when they are not ill. D) pat the faces of the contemporaries22. According to the passage the old would very much like toA) live alone B) live in comfortable and well-run homesC) be treated as adults instead of babies D) get unselfish help from their friends and relatives23. The author suggests that _______A) much sympathy will inevitably humiliate the oldB) kindness and unselfish help are not necessarily what the old needC) the old should be left to do whatever they want by themselvesC) to the old, the friends‟ and relatives‟ respect is, at least, as important as their concern24. If the old are left to do as much as they can for themselves, ________A) they may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellowsB) they won‟t feel hurt or humiliatedC) they will be able to develop their brains and musclesD) they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active25. The passage is mainly about that _____________.A) improper care and concern may do more harm than good to the oldB) how to take good care of the old in different waysC) nowadays many people are not respectful enough to the oldD) old people are just like children, who are difficult to satisfyQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Wind, wave and tides all suffer from the fact that they are variable sources of power output. For example, there will be times when due to windless days or calm seas—and both can occur for periods of several days even in the winter time—they are producing little or no power.Insofar as this shortfall has to be made up by electricity from conventional power stations, these newer energy sources would not necessarily reduce the installed capacity of such conventional stations needed to meet the total demand on windless or calm days. What the newer sources will do is to save fuel that would otherwise be burned in conventional power stations.Pumped storage reservoirs could in principle be used to counter this effect, but there is not enough additional reservoir capacity available. We therefore face the same type of storage problem as in solar energy. Thus, unless some new method of energy storage can be developed or we move to the widespread use of a fuel like hydrogen, the wind and wave schemes will be at an economic disadvantage.26. The power produced by the waves, tide and wind _________A) is not as consistent as it should be B) is generally less in winter than in summerC) is never likely to be very great D) is consistent27. Alternative sources of energy ________A) could not possibly reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stationsB) might not reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stationsC) would automatically reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stationsD) would make it necessary to reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stations28. What, according to this passage, would be the major impact of the newer energy sources?A) A reduction of the fuel consumed by conventional power stationsB) A reduction of the manpower required by conventional power stationsC) The total replacement of conventional power stationsD) The total replacement of conventional energy sources29. The energy produced by the sun ________A) is easy to store B) p oses similar problems to the other newer energy sourcesC) poses very few problems D) poses different problems from the other newer energy sources30. Hydrogen _______A) is a widely-used fuel B) is not yet in general use as a fuelC) is not a particularly easy fuel to store D) is a more economical fuel than wind energyPart Three Cloze TestA land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply — all these were important factors, in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. 31 they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That “something special” was men —32 individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.The men who 33 the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were 34 inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research 35 . He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is 36 trying to make something that has a concrete idea. He may try to solve a problem by using the theories 37 science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of 38 other objectives. Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had 39 or no training in science might not have made their inventions if a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years 40 .31. A. But B. And C. Besides D. Even32.

Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be agood time to take a long vacation from thinking!11. Huntington based his conclusions on ___________.A. records of change in his own intelligenceB. work with peoples in different climatesC. records of temperature changesD. all of the above12. Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have_________.A. a great effect on everyone’s intelligenceB. some effect on most people’s intelligenceC. effect on only a few people’s intelligenceD. no eff ect on people’s intelligence13. One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ___________.A. there are some things making all nature different from beforeB. it lasts longer than the other seasonsC. it is neither too warm nor too coldD. it is more natural for the development of mental abilities14. The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _____________.A. spring and fallB. winter and summerC. summer and springD. fall and winter15. According to the selection, vacations from thinking should be taken___________.A. several times throughout the yearB. during spring and fallC. during the summerD. as seldom as possibleQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:The potential of closed circuit television and other new electronic teaching tools is so great that it is inspiring to imagine “The school of tomorrow”. Televised lessons will be given in a central building having perhaps four or five master studios. The lessons will be carried into classrooms all over a city, or even an entire country. After a televised lesson has been given, the classroom teacher will take over for the all important “follow-up” period. The students will ask troublesome questions and difficult points will be cleared up through discussion.The teacher in the class will have additional electronic tools. On the teacher’s desk, the traditional bright red apple will have been replaced by a multiple-control panel and magnetic tape players. The tape machines will run pre-recorded lessons which pupils will follow by head phones. The lessons willbe specifically connected closely to the students’levels of ability. For instance, while the class as a whole studies history, each student will receive an individual history lesson directed to his particular level of ability.Should questions arise, the students will be able to talk directly to the teacher on individual “intercom ” without disturbing the rest of the class. In this way, the teacher will be able to conduct as many as three classes at the same time.16. Closed-circuit television will probably carry lesson into_______________.A. a single classroom in the worldB. all the classrooms in the worldC. all the classrooms in a city or a countryD. a single classroom in a city or a country17.

At an early age, he became fascinated by “the talking leaf,” an expression that he used to describe the white man’s written records. Although many believe this “talking leaf’ to be a gift from the Great Spirit, Sequoyah refused to accept that theory. Like other Indians of the period, he was illiterate, but his determination to remedy the situation led to the invention of a unique 86-character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard. His familyand friends thought him mad, but while recovering from a hunting accident, he diligently and independently set out to create a form of communication for his own people as well as for other Indians. In 1821, after twelve years of work, he had successfully developed a written language that would enable thousands of Indians to read and write.Sequoyah’s desire to pres erve words and events for later generation has caused him to be remembered among the important inventors. The giant redwood trees of California, called “sequoias” in his honor, will further imprint his name in history.21. What is the most important reason that Sequoyah will be remembered?A.

"On this issue, China has always been independent and highly responsible, on which the international community has long agreed," said a spokesman from SAFE. Speculation that the exchange rate of the Chinese currency, known as RMB, would rise under foreign pressure reduced after US Treasury Secretary JohnSnow's visit to Beijing earlier this month. He came to press the Chinese Government to revalue the currency. But US Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans soon stepped up criticism, accusing the country of backsliding on the promises to ease restrictions on foreign companies, remove trade barriers and stop software piracy (盗版).The SAFE spokesman reiterated that China will continue to maintain the basic stability of the renminbi's exchange rate, which he said has not only helped promote China's reform and opening-up and stimulate domestic demand, but contributed to the fight against the Asian financial crisis.26.

Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Although no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) in the birds‟ bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.11. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds _________A) stopped migratingB) continued migratingC) stayed in the northD) migrated south and stayed there12. The author states that birds left the tropics because _____A) there was not enough food there in the winterB) there were too many birdsC) there were too many glaciersD) there was too much daylight13. Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?A) To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common tobirdsB) To test the relationship between daylight and migrationC) To test the relationship between migration and temperatureD) To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season14. According to the theory of photo-periodism, ________A) birds should migrate in the middle of the winterB) longer days cause changes in the bodies of birdsC) seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationD) increasing daylight increases the distance of migration15.This passage supports the belief that _________A) exact reasons for migration are not knownB) birds migrate because of changes in temperatureC) the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsD) glaciers caused birds to migrateQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:In Guangzhou, capital of South China‟s Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday.And the airport‟s flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 per cent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.Guangzhou Baiyan International Airport had to cancel some international services to Southeast Asian countries and regions because of the outbreak of ASRS beginning in April, the official said. The official predicted his airport‟s international service would return to normal operation and handle even more international passengers in August.Currently, the Guangzhou airport is operating 22 international flights to 20 foreign metropolises. And nine foreign airlines have resumed their international flights to the airport.16. In July Guangzhou Baiyun international Airport resumed its international service to ____________.A. the whole worldB. only four southeastern nationsC. the southeast Asian nationsD. All Asian nations.17. The air port‟s flow of international passengers for July is ______ the figure for thecorresponding month of the previous year.A. 20% ofB. 20% less thanC. 80% more thanD. 80% less than18. Because of the outbreak of SARS, the airport ____________.A. reduced its service to some regions.B. reduced its service to all regions.C. reduced its service to some areas while adding to some other regions.D. canceled all its services to southeast Asian countries.19. Which of the following is true?A.The international service in August would be as much as in July.B.The flow of international passengers will be more than that in July.C.The airport will provide less service than in July.D.The flow of international passengers will be more than that in usual time.20. The report is mainly about ____________.A.the operation of Guanzhou Baiyun International AirportB.where people should go to visit after SARSC.the prediction of what will happen to transport and tourism after SARSD. the resuming service in Guangzhou Baiyun International AirportQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:It is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces—things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that theywould be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves.Convenient flats, “motherly” visitors, or organized entertainments cann ot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied—the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one‟s fellows.21. Many people are not aware that it is rather rude to ________.A) talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not thereB) show sympathy for the oldC) take care of the old when they are not ill.D) pat the faces of the contemporaries22. According to the passage the old would very much like toA) live aloneB) live in comfortable and well-run homesC) be treated as adults instead of babiesD) get unselfish help from their friends and relatives23. The author suggests that _______A) much sympathy will inevitably humiliate the oldB) kindness and unselfish help are not necessarily what the old needC) the old should be left to do whatever they want by themselvesC) to the old, the friends‟ and relatives‟ respect is, at least, as important as their concern24. If the old are left to do as much as they can for themselves, ________A) they may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellowsB) they won‟t feel hurt or humiliatedC) they will be able to develop their brains and musclesD) they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active25. The passage is mainly about that _____________.A) improper care and concern may do more harm than good to the oldB) how to take good care of the old in different waysC) nowadays many people are not respectful enough to the oldD) old people are just like children, who are difficult to satisfyQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Wind, wave and tides all suffer from the fact that they are variable sources of power output. For example, there will be times when due to windless days or calm seas—and both can occur for periods of several days even in the winter time—they are producing little or no power.Insofar as this shortfall has to be made up by electricity from conventional power stations, these newer energy sources would not necessarily reduce the installed capacity of such conventional stations needed to meet the total demand on windless or calm days. What the newer sources will do is to save fuel that would otherwise be burned in conventional power stations.Pumped storage reservoirs could in principle be used to counter this effect, but there is not enough additional reservoir capacity available. We therefore face the same type of storage problem as in solar energy. Thus, unless some new method of energy storage can be developed or we move to the widespread use of a fuel like hydrogen, the wind and wave schemes will be at an economic disadvantage.26. The power produced by the waves, tide and wind _________A) is not as consistent as it should beB) is generally less in winter than in summerC) is never likely to be very greatD) is consistent27. Alternative sources of energy ________A) could not possibly reduce the installed capacity of conventional powerstationsB) might not reduce the installed capacity of conventional power stationsC) would automatically reduce the installed capacity of conventional powerstationsD) would make it necessary to reduce the installed capacity of conventionalpower stations28. What, according to this passage, would be the major impact of the newer energysources?A) A reduction of the fuel consumed by conventional power stationsB) A reduction of the manpower required by conventional power stationsC) The total replacement of conventional power stationsD) The total replacement of conventional energy sources29. The energy produced by the sun ________A) is easy to storeB) poses similar problems to the other newer energy sourcesC) poses very few problemsD) poses different problems from the other newer energy sources30. Hydrogen _______A) is a widely-used fuelB) is not yet in general use as a fuelC) is not a particularly easy fuel to storeD) is a more economical fuel than wind energyPart Three Cloze TestDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.

Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That “something special” was men —32 individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.The men who 33 the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were 34 inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research 35 . He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is 36 trying to make something that has a concrete idea. He may try to solve a problem by using the theories 37 science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of 38 other objectives.Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had 39 or no training in science might not have made their inventions if a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years 40 .31. A. But B.

Paintings by Ruby, an Asian elephant who lived at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, sold for up to $5,000 in the late 1980s, said Dick George, a consultant with the zoo. "Ruby was about seven months old when she first came to the zoo", said George. "She lived with a goat and some chickens, but she didn"t have an elephant companion for a number ofyears. She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her days more stimulating. Her keeper bought her some art supplies". George said, ", Ruby was excited about painting right from the beginning". The elephants at the art academies in the Southeast Asia are taught to hold a paintbrush with the tip of their trunks. Initially, the keeper guides the elephant"s trunk over the canvas(画布) and offers rewards for good performance. "It only takes a few hours to a day to teach them", said Mia Fineman, an art historian whose book When Elephants Paint is an illustrated history of the Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project.第11题Ruby was an Asian elephant ______.A.who was sold for a price as high as $5,000B.who was famous for being the first painting elephantC.whose paintings sold for as high as $5,000D.who started painting in the late 1980s第12题Why did Ruby start painting according to Dick George?A.Because she was seven years old.B.Because she was the first to come to the zoo.C.Because she learned a lot from the goat and the chickens.D.Because she had no elephant partners to play with.第13题How did Ruby paint at the very beginning?A.She used a stick to draw in the dirt.B.She spent much time in the dirt.C.She stimulated herself every day.D.She painted with her keeper"s art supplies.第14题To encourage the elephants to paint well, the keeperA.bought them a lot of art suppliesB.made them excited at the beginningC.taught them to hold a paintbrush with their trunksD.reinforced the desired behaviors with rewards第15题When Elephants Paint is a book ______.A.on the history of artsB.about the painting elephants in AsiaC.explaining how to teach elephants to paintD.chiefly theorizing about elephant art上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解While it is true that Americans believe climbing the educational ladder leads to success, they are less certain that intellectual achievement is the only important factor leading to success. A competitive personality is seen as important to success, especially in men. The development of social and political skills is also considered to be very important. To help Americans develop these other important skills, schools have added a large number of extracurricular(课程外)activities to daily life at school. This is especially tree of high schools and colleges and extends down into elementary schools as well. Athletics, frequently called "competitive sports", are perhaps the most important of these activities. Football, basketball, and baseball teams are seen as very important in teaching students, particularly boys, the "winning spirit". At times, athletic teams seem to become more important to some students and their parents than the academic programs offered by the schools.第16题Americans believe that education is ______.A.the only way to successB.the main purpose of the schoolsC.just like climbing laddersD.important to success第17题Which of the following is NOT mentioned as important to success?A.intellectual achievementpetitive personalityC.social backgroundsD.social and political skills第18题A variety of extracurricular activities are added in American schools ______.A.to help students climb the education ladderB.to enrich students" dull life at schoolC.to help students become more successful in later lifeD.to extend college education down into elementary schools第19题Athletic activities are designed ______.A.to make boys strongerB.to teach students winning spiritC.to develop students" social and political skillsD.to improve the academic programs第20题Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?cation and SuccessB.Extracurricular Activities at SchoolC.Athletic SportsD.Intellectual Achievement上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that "canals"—perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars—are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed. Another fragmented idea concerns the planet"s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are nowknown to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.第21题Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A.Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B.Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C.Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D.Because it was the Martians that built the canals.第22题The "canals" on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface第23题What were the Mars" seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.第24题How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A.The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B.A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C.The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D.The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.第25题How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)阅读理解Weather Forecast The following forecast shows for the listed cities the projected weather conditions and the expected range of temperatures from the afternoon high to the evening low. 图片第26题According to the forecast, ______.A.Kansas City will be warmer than TorontoB.temperatures will be the lowest in Seattle and MinneapolisC.the weather will be fine in most of the listed citiesD.more than half of the listed cities ore cloudy or rain likely第27题Among the following four cities, the difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is smallest in ______.A.Kansas CityB.MiamiC.AtlantaD.Seattle第28题Which of the following cities is closest m Miami in weather conditions?A.BostonB.AtlantaC.WashingtonD.Houston第29题The difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is greatest in ______.A.SeattleB.Los Angeless VegasD.Phoenix第30题The differences between the afternoon high and the evening low are the same in ______.A.Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and St. LouisB.Atlanta, San Francisco, New Orleans, and SeattleC.Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington,D.C.D.Pittsburg, Miami, Houston, and Boston上一题下一题(31~40/共10题)完型填空How much sleep does a person need?【B1】the physiological bases of the need for sleep remain conjectural(猜想), rendering conclusive answers to this question impossible, much evidence has been gathered on how much sleep people do in fact obtain. Perhaps the most important conclusion to be【B2】from this evidence is【B3】there is great variability among individuals in total sleep time. For adults,【B4】between six and nine hours of sleep as a nightly average is not unusual, and 7.5 hours probably best expresses the norm. Such norms, of course, forms inevitably vary with the criteria of sleep employed. The most【B5】and reliable figures on sleep time, including those cited here, come from studies in sleep laboratories, where EEG criteria are employed. 【B6】consistently has been associated with the varying amount, quality, and pattern of electrophysiologically defined sleep. The newborn infant may spend an average of about 16 hours of each 24-hour period in sleep,【B7】the sleep time drops sharply; by two years of age, it may【B8】from nine to 12 hours. Decreases to approximately six hours have been observed among the elderly. 【B9】will be discussed from below, EEG sleep studies haveindicated that sleep can be considered to consist of several different stages. Developmental changes in the relative proportion of sleep time【B10】in these sleep stages are as striking as age-related changes in total sleep time.第31题【B1】A.AsB.DespiteC.WhileD.Whether第32题【B2】A.arrivedB.benefitedC.drawnD.deprived第33题【B3】A.howB.whatC.whetherD.that第34题【B4】A.somethingB.nothingC.anythingD.everything第35题【B5】A.briefB.preciseC.correctD.concise第36题【B6】A.AgingB.YouthC.AgeD.Teenage第37题【B7】A.unlessB.howeverC.althoughD.even if第38题【B8】A.extendB.rangeC.alterD.rise第39题【B9】A.WhatB.ItC.ThatD.As第40题【B10】A.is spentB.are spentC.spentD.spending上一题下一题(1/10)完成对话第41题Student A: You are not from Britain, are you?

They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder.

His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect __34__ much of him. __35__ this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic?” He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt it was __36__ to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which __37__ of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He __38__ the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could.

Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Until recently the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low. However, the volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly, as people order books and other products and make money transactions. All this is creating temptations for hacker(黑客).Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to move quietly to the Internet, looking for ways to break into computers systems run by banks, telephone companies and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the numbers.Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a customer discovers a wrong money transaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on somebody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive download of information which would call the attention of the consumer.11. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.(A) the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low(B) the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet are low(C) there are more opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet(D) people should not make money transactions on the Internet12. The word “temptations” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.(A) interests (B) attractions (C) benefits (D) profits13.

In the last sentence of the paragraph, “somebody” refers to a ________.(A) customer (B) card user (C) hacker (D) bank clerkQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare(莎士比亚). Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare’s writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.16. From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.(A) it can’t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest poet(B) it can’t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest dramatist(C) Shakespeare is regarded as a greatest writer(D) Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world’s greatest writer17.

The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare’s plays, probably because ______.(A) the works are for native speakers(B) only Englishmen can understand his plays(C) the works are too difficult for a beginner(D) some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed20. In this passage the author wants to ________.(A) show the richness of English language(B) tell how great a writer Shakespeare is(C) tell that some English words are out of use now(D) tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare’s dayQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Oxford and Cambridge differ from the rest of the universities in Great Britain in many important respects, but resemble each other quite closely.Oxford was founded in the 12th century. There are at present 35 colleges: three are for women only and the rest take both men and women. There are at present approximately 9,400 students in residence, of whom over a third are women. The city of Oxford is popular with tourists because of the University’s many beautiful medieval buildings.Cambridge was founded in the 13th century. There are at present 28 colleges, of which only one is for men students only and two for women only. The remaining 25 take both men and women. There are at present over 9000 students in residence, of whom a third are women. Cambridge University has made the city of Cambridge an internationally famous tourist center.21. With the first sentence, the author wants to say that ________.(A) Oxford and Cambridge are different(B) Universities in Britain are different in many aspects(C) Oxford and Cambridge share many similarities(D) Oxford and Cambridge are different from each other22.

The passage is mainly about the _______.(A) history of two famous universities in Britain(B) comparison between Oxford and Cambridge(C) number of students at Oxford and Cambridge(D) introduction of colleges at Oxford and CambridgeQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:The growth of Liu Yongxing’s animal-feed business has made him China’s richest man, according to rankings published recently by Forbes magazine. With an estimated net worth of US$1 billion, the 53-year-old entrepreneur and his Shanghai-based Hope Group are symbols of the new China.But Forbes’ list of the 100 richest individuals in China also illustrates the growing income inequality here that alarms some officials. The Forbes survey found that the 100 richest people in China had a combined net worth of US$18 billion in the year ended September 30. That’s small change by US standards: The most recent Forbes ranking of global billionaires put the net worth of Bill Gates alone at more than US$58 billion. But what’s remarkable about China’s wealth numbers is how fast they’re rising. The wealth of the top 50 on this year’s China list jumped 40 percent, to US$14 billion, from US$10 billion last year despite a global economic slump.26. The richest man in China acquired his wealth ________.(A) in the animal feed business (B) in America(C) from Forbes magazine (D) from his ancestors27.
