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.ANot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars（伤疤）. Often they relive（在想像中再体验）these experiences.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after wars.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitm an, a professor of psychiatry（精神病学）at Harvard Medical School，“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous becausememories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes in the pas t. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I am not sure whether we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.65. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.a. the new drugb. the research into the drugc. the bad memoryd. the chemical in the drug66.Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the opponents(反对者)?a. Our memories give us our identity.b. The memories help human avoid mistakes of the past.c. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.d. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.67. What’s the main idea of this passage?a. People often suffer from bad memories.b. American researchers have developed a pill.c. Forget bad memories, and be happy.d. Developing pills for helping forget bad memories has caused a heated argument.BMilan, the second largest city of Italy, has won an undesirable world record. Of the 54 big cities studied by the World Health Organization and the United Nations, Milan was thought of to have the worst air pollution.According to these two 10-year studies, the level of air pollution in Milan is twice as high as the levels in Paris and Beijing and three times those in Tokyo and London, and four times that in New York.The reason for Milan’s bad pollution, according to scientists, is that the city lies in a valley that stops the poisonous gases.Though Milan has taken some measures to lower the level of pollution, the situation is still worrying. People joke to each other, “If you’re traveling to Milan, be sure to bring your gas mask.”68.Why is the air pollution in Milan so serious?a.Because the city lies in a place where it is difficult for polluted air to move away.b.Because too many cars are being driven in the city.c.Because there are some mountains in the city.d.Because Milan has taken some worrying measures.69.The level of air pollution in London is higher than that in _____ and lower than that in _____.a.

Milan has taken every step to cut down the air pollution.c. Milan has taken measures and the air pollution is being cut down.d. Milan has taken some measures, but the air pollution is still troublesome.71. In this passage there is NO answer to the question:_____.a. What’s the reason for the air pollution in Milan?b. What are the measures taken by Milan to cut down air pollution?c. Which city’s air is thought of to be worst polluted?d. Who said that the air in Milan was badly pollution?CSteven Spielberg is a household name. He is a person who has entertained the world with stories of all kinds, a person who’s made us cry with the tale of an alien who just wanted to go home, who’s scared us with sharks and dinosaurs, and who brought us the horrors of World War II in Schindler’s List.Spielberg developed an interest in movies at an early age. At 12, he started his attempt to make his own short films. At age 16, Spielberg made his first film, Firelight, which earned back its whole budget in one night –US$500. Spielberg got poor grades in high school and wasn’t accepted to any film schools. But one of his short films called Amblin won awards at Venice and Atlanta film festivals. It also caught attention of the head of Universal’s TV division. He signed Spielberg to a seven-year contract. At 20, Spielberg was the youngest director ever to get such a deal.In 1974, Spielberg made Sugarland Express, but to the producer’s surprise, the film performed poorly at the box office. 1975 was a different story, however. Spielberg was chosen to direct Jaws. “Parts of the book terrorized me. I tried to translate my fear into visual language.” He succeeded. It was a great hit. Spielberg continued his string of hits in 1981 with Raiders of the Lost Ark. The film earned Spielberg his first Oscar nomination for best director. Films two and three in the series also thrilled audiences. A fourth is now scheduled for release in 2005. In 1985, Spielberg challenged himself to make a more serious film. The Color Purple was the result. The film earned 11 Academy Award nominations，but didn’t win a single award. Finally, in 1993 Spielberg’s heartbreaking film Schindler’s List earned him an Academy Award for best director.In 2002, Spielberg received another honor that he treasures highly – a college diploma. But he hopes his children won’t take 33 years to finish their degrees!Spielberg continues to make films. Not all are box office hits, but each tells a story as only Spielberg can. Spielberg ranks as the most successful director ever. Other directors may try to catch him—if they can.72.Please rearrange the following events according to the time sequence.A.Spielberg finished his college education.B.Spielberg made the Color Purple.C.Spielberg won his first Oscar nomination.D.Spielberg made the 4th of Raiders of the Lost Ark.E.Spielberg made Amblin.F.Spielberg won the Academy Award for best director.a.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.The rewards of a skill that is in strictly limited supply depend upon the demand for that skill. Men’s professional basketball is extremely popular, and the top NBA players make millions of dollars per year. There are some great women basketball players, too, but because women’s professional basketball has not become popular, these women’s skills go comparatively unrewarded.Some people with very rare skills can make enormous salaries in a free market economy. Paula Abdel has a voice that millions of people are willing to pay to hear in person, and on tapes, CDs, records, and videos. Before Pablo Picasso died, he could sell small sketches for vast sums of money. Were they worth it? They were worth exactly what the highest bidder (出价人) was willing to pay. Not all skills are inborn, however. Some people have invested in training and schooling to improve their knowledge and skills. When we go to school, we are investing in human capital that we expect to yield dividends, partly in the form of higher wages, later on. Human capital is also produced through on-the-job training.Some jobs are more desirable than others. Entry-level positions in attractive industries such as publishing and television tend to be low-paying. Since talented people are willing to take entry-level jobs in these industries at salaries below what they could earn in other occupations, there must be other, non-wage rewards. It may be that the job itself is more personally rewarding, or that a low-paying apprenticeship is the only way to acquire the human capital necessary to advance. 77. 78. 79. 80.On the other hand, compensating differentials are required when an occupation is very dangerous. Workers on skyscrapers and bridges command additional wages. Fire fighters in cities that have many old, run-down buildings are usually paid more than those in relatively tranquil rural or suburban areas.Section D (共4小题，每小题1分，满分4分)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statementsin NO MORE THAN 10 WORDSKids who live in cold places have always enjoyed making snowballs and having snowball fights. Could snowball fighting become an Olympic sports? Probably not anythime soon – but the sport is growing. The rules have recently been made, and people are starting to think of having snowball fighting as a team sport. In this sport, players throw snowballs at players on the other team and try to get their flag, which is on their side of the field. Snowball fighting sport is becoming very popular among kids. When the season turns to winter, matches are held all over Japan.In a city of Hokkaido(北海道), one member of the team, Hattori Yosuke, who is in the sixth grade, explains, “In the winter in Hokkaido, it’s cold and there is a lot of snow, so we can’t play baseball. Snowball fighting is fun, because it gives us another way to run around outside.” Another member says, “It’s very exciting when you catch the flag of the other team.”A snowball-fighting field is 36 meters wide and 10 meters long. Each team has for forwards(前锋) and three backs who throw snowballs at the players on the other team. The players carry and make snowballs behind 90-centimeter-high walls made of snow in different places around the filed. While trying to protect themselves from their competing players’snowballs, they need to run quickly into the other team’s place and try to get the flag. Players who are hit by snowballs are out of the game, and must leave the field. If all the players on one team get out, they lose the game.The International Snowball Fighting Championship(冠军赛) games include 190 teams from all over Japan and overseas. The sport has already been played in other coutries. If snowball fighting becomes more and more popular, it’s possible that one day it just might really become an Olympic sport.1.How many players are there on each team during a snowball fighting match?2.When should the players leave the game?3.How do kids like the snowball fighting?4.The winning team is the one that ____________Write your answers on your ANSWER SHEET IN NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS第二卷Translation (15’)1.他逐渐意识到吸烟的危害。
