She was born in Senegal, Africa in about 1753 and brought to America at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatlev bought her for three pounds at a slave market in Boston in 1761. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley’s twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phvllis’s education. Phyllis soon showed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics.At the age of thirteen, Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation（引起轰动的人物）after she wrote a poem on the death of the preacher （传教士）George Whitfield in 1770. It became common to read Phyllis Wheatley’s poetty in polite society. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis’s poems, but once they heard she was a Negro they weren’t interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. Thirty nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem about George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors（恩人）died in 1777 and in 1778, Phyllis was freed. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty at the age of thirty.56．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Phyllis’ poem on a preaher aroused public interest and excitement.B．Phyllis read a lot of books when she was young.C．Those days Negroes were still looked down upon.D．Phyllis wanted to become either a teacher or a businesswoman. 57．Which is the correct order according to the passage?a．US president sang high praise of her.b．Her poem aroused people’s curiosity.c．Mary began to educate her.d．Phyllis was freed as a slave.e．She served Nathaniel all the way to London.A．a, c, e, d, b B．e, c, b, d, a C．c, b, e, a, d D．d, c, e, b, a 58．Which statement about Phyllis is supported by the passage?A．She was poor when she died.B．She wouldn’t have written poetry if she had stayed in Africa.C．She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.D．She only wrote religious poetry.59．What is the passage mainly about?A．Slavery in early America.

Another explained that she was late for a Monday class because she was recovering from drinking too much at a wild weekend party.At colleges in the US, e-mail has made it easier to reach professors. But many say it has made them too easy to get in contact, removing boundaries（分界线）that traditionally kept students at a healthy distance.These days, professors say, students seem to view them as available around the clock, sending a steady stream of informal e-mails.“The tone that they take in e-mails is pretty astonishing,”said Michael Kessler, an assistant dean at Georgetown University. “They’ll order you to help:‘I need to know this .’”“There’s a fine balance between meeting their needs and at the same time maintaining a level of legitimacy（合乎情理）as an instructor who is in charge.”Christopher Dede, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, said e-mails show how students no longer respect their professors, perhaps because they realize that professors’ expertise（专门知识）could rapidly become outdated.“The respect was driven by the belief that professors were all-knowing sources of deep knowledge,” Dede said, and that belief has weakened.College students say e-mail makes it easier to ask questions and helps them learn. But they seem unaware that what they write in e-mails could have negative effects on them, said Alexandra Lahav, an associate professor of law at the University of Connecticut.She recalled an e-mail message from a student saying that he planned to miss classes, so he could play with his son. Professor Lahav not respond. “Students don’t understand that what they say in e-mails can make them seem unprofessional,” she said.60．The first two examples are used by the author to show that in the US .A．school regulations are not very strictB．Internet is widely used by studentsC．college students usually miss classesD．students feel free to e-mail their professors61．All the tones used in the students’ e-mails are mentioned EXCEPT .A．informal B．serious C．commanding D．surprising 62．It seems that Professor Dede is trying to explain why .A．college students are crazy about e-mailsB．professors are not respected as beforeC．knowledge learned in college becomes outdatedD．students don’t believe in their professors63．We can infer from what Professor Lahav said that .A．some e-mails could result in a bad impressionB．college students are quite serious when writing an e-mailC．studenst know exactly the effects of their e-mailsD．she paid no attention to some of the students’ e-mails.CThe legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, if you’ve just eaten and what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks Even if you’re below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol. It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking session in the evening, you might find that you’re still over the legal limit early in the morning. In addition, if you’ve had a few drinks at lunch time, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legallimit.In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable post s…and the less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men.It is important to remember that driving after you have been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If you’re involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure.64．The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching the legal limit .A．is 80 milligrams of pure alcoholB．is about three standard drinksC．is different for different peopleD．mainly depends on his body weight65．You will be taken to court by the police .A．when you drive a vehicle after drinking alcoholB．when you have had at least three drinksC．only when tests show you have more than enough alcoholD．when the police suspect you are sort of drunk from the way you drive. 66．According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A．After a few drinks at noon, another one or two drinks late in the afternoon may put you over the legal limit.B．The more alcohol the drivers have, the more likely they are to pass the driving test.C．If you have had a standard drink, you may drive an hour later.D．If you want to drive safely, you had better not drink at all.67．This article urges you to remember that if you drive after drinking .A．you may be taken to court by the policeB．you are putting yourself in dangerC．you may kill or hurt another road-userD．you are putting many other people at riskDPoliticians generally believe that economic growth makes a nation happier.But maybe they’re wrong.An opinion piece from the UK’s Financial Times newspaper last week says “today there is much statistical and laboratory evidence in favor of a new theory: once a country has filled its storerooms, there is no point in that nation becoming richer.”“First, surveys show that the industrialized nations have not become happier over time. UK citizens today report the same degree of psychological well-being with their lives as did their parents and grandparents.”Second, using more formal measures of mental health, rates of depression in countries such as the UK have increased. Third, in the US, even though real income levels have risen, the suicide rate is the same as in the year 1900.“Some scholars have come up with strong evidence about why growth does not work.Relative happiness!“One reason is that humans are creatures of comparison. Happiness levels depend on the earnings levels of a person’s neihbors. It is relative income that matters: when everyone in a society gets wealthier. average well-being stays the same.“A further reason is the fact that experiences wear off. Some researchers believe that after a pay rise people get used to greater income and eventually return to their original happy or unhappy state.“A final reason is that human beings are bad at judging what will make them happy. In laboratory settings, people systematically choose the wrong things for themselves.”68．The UK’s Financial Times newspaper .A．performed an experiment on people’s emotionsB．introduced a new theory challenging traditional ideaC．raised some questions on how to become happierD．produced a new theory to attract the public’s attention69．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Greater income leads to happier life.B．People nowadays won’t feel excited at all when given a pay rise.C．People know how happy they are when comparing themselves with others.D．When everyone in a society becomes rich, average feeling for happiness improves.70．The underlined phrase “wear off” in Paragraph 8 means .A．become strong B．are meaningfulC．become weak D．are useless71．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A．Getting richer, but not happier.B．Why people are not happy.C．Richer in economy, poorer in psychology.D．What is happiness.EQuebec City, March 29, 2006－The less a child sleeps, the more likely he or she is to become overweight, according to researchers from Universite Laval’s Faculty of Medicine in an article published in the latest edition of the International Journal of Obesity（肥胖）.The risk of becoming overweight is 3.5 times higher in children who get less sleep than in those who sleep a lot, according to researchers Jean-Philippe Chaput, Marc Brunet, and Angelo Tremblay.These results come from data collected among 422 grade school students aged 5 to 10. The scientists measured the weight, height, and waist size of each participant. Information on the children’s lifestyle was gained through phone interviews their parents.The researchers found that 20% of the boys and 24% of the girls were overweight. Children who slept less than 10 hours a night were 3.5 times more at risk of being overweight than those who slept 12 or more hours. No other factors analyzed (分析)in the study－parental obesity, parents’ level of education, family income, time spent in front of the TV or computer, regular physical activity －had as much of an effect on obesity than time spent sleeping.Hormone（荷尔蒙）production is the researchers’ main point to explain the relationship between sleep and obesity. “Lack of sleep lowers the level of a hormone that stimulates metabolism（促进新陈代谢）and decreases hunger. In addition, short nights of sleep cause the concentration of a hormone that increases hunger,” explains Professor Angelo Tremblay.“It’s ironic that part of the solution to obesity might lie in sleep. According to this study’s results, my best advice against obesity in children would be to encourage them to move more and to make sure they get enough sleep,”concludes Tremblay.72．According to the passage, children’s obesity has nothing to do with .A．whether their parents are overweightB．how long they usually sit in front of the TV or computerC．what kind of education their parents receiveD．the way in which the children sleep73．According to the study, lack of sleep won’t .A．reduce a kind of hormone which can decrease hungerB．gather a kind of hormone which can increase hungerC．make you so sick that you don’t have a good appetite（胃口）D．result in putting on weight more easily74．The reason why the number of obesity nowadays doubled is closely related to A．the lack of physical exercise of the childrenB．the heavy burden shouldered by children on their studiesC．the average night of sleep for children lost one to two hoursD．the development of high-tech in medicine75．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Children who sleep less are more likely to be overweight.B．A research on how overweight progresses.C．A new way to keep a diet.D．How long should the kids sleep?选做题：Something that has to do with 72．Sleeping hours Parental obesityParents’ level of73．Family income Time spent in front of theTV or 74．Lack of regular75．第二卷（共45分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15）Life is so full of questions. So is science.Scientists have had so many great accomplishments and our knowledge about the world has grown a great deal, but there is still a lot that we don’t know yet.USA’s Science magazine is carrying a special report on 125 important unanswered scientific questions. They range from the nature of the universe tothe nature of societies. Some will drive scientific research for a long time until next century, but others . Many will lead to new questions.“The process of trying to figure out what we don’t know just keeps on giving scientists new questions. So, scientists’ job is never done,” said the editor.Below are a few of the most pressing questions:Are we alone in the universe?Alone in all that space? Not likely. The real big question is when, if ever, we’ll have the power to reach out and touch such intelligence. With a bit of luck, it could be in the next 25 years.How much can the human lifespan（寿命）be extended?Lifespan extension in species such as mice has made some scientists believe that humans will hit beyond 100 or 110 years of age. Others say humans’ lifespan may be far more limited.What can replace expensive oil? And when?Whether alternative（替代的）energy sources will be found in time to avoid an energy crisis depends in part on the importance given to energy research. It will require a global political agreement on what science is telling us.76．What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?While scientists are working hard to answer those scientific questions, more questions will appear.78．Please fill in the blank in the third paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)79．Which of the pressing questions do you think is the most valuable? Why?(Please answer within 30 words.)80．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.第二节书面表达（满分30分）请根据下面的内容提示写一篇关于莎士比亚的戏剧《皆大欢喜》（As You Like It）的英语介绍。

The 41 gallery was opened by Charles Saatchi, a British art collector famous for founding the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising agency with his brother. It moved from its old 42 in St. John’s Wood to its new home in County Hall near the Thames in the spring of 2021.Anyone who has heard reports in the past of the often shocking but always thought-provoking (激起) works on 43 at the Saatchi Gallery will not be disappointed when visiting the gallery’s new lo cation. Along with the exhibits of new British artists, the gallery still includes the works of Damien Hirst, the Chapman brothers, and Tracy Emin in its permanent 44 .Of the artworks, one can see in the Saatchi Gallery, Hirst’s works are probably th e most well-known. Hirst’s work first made headlines in the early 1990s when he 45 art from dead animals.Along with Hirst, the Chapman brothers, Dinos and Jake, also owe a certain amount of their fame to the Saatchi Gallery. It was through Saatchi that these two brothers came to 46 attention. At the gallery, visitors can see the brothers’ vision of Hell, made from 30, 000 plastic toy soldiers.Another artist 47 at the gallery who has grabbed headlines with her art is Tracy Emin. In 2021, Emin gave rise to argument when she sold her 48 , unmade bed to Saatchi as a work of art titled My Bed at ￡150, 000.Are any of these works really art? That is a question you will have to answer for yourself when you visit the Saatchi Gallery. Charles Saatchi himself says, 〝I don’t have any ground rules for 49 art.

I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I was a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who loves you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.66. How did the writer form her view of life?A. Through social experienceB. By learning from her friendsC.

This passage is written for __________.A. parentsB. childrenC. the salesmanD. the boss(C)Against the supposition that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone〔臭氧〕levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.〝We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.〞Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier thanpredicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.73. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there74. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _________.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect environmentD. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming75. The underlined phrase 〝soak up〞in the last paragraph most probably means ________.A. releasedB. absorbedC. createdD. disturbed76.From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberiamay __________.A. warm the climate as the supposition goesB. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea iceD. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy(D)Is Positive Thinking Powerful?The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like 〝I never do anything right〞into positive ones like 〝I can succeed〞. But was the positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking? Researchers in Canada just published a study in Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply stress how unhappy they are. The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by using older research showing that when people get feedback (反应) which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your friend who is not very clever that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In the 1990s, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton conducted an experiment. The participants were asked to write essays opposing financial support for the disabled, expressing little sympathy for them. When these participants were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-respect. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, 〝I am lovable.〞Those with low self-respect didn’t feel better after the forced self-approval. In fact, their feelings turned significantly worse than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.The study provides support for newer forms for psychotherapy (心思治疗) that urge people toaccept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, on the contrary, can teach people to realize their shortcomings from a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.77. What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?A. There can be no simple solutions to psychological problems.B. Encouraging positive thinking may do harm to people.C. The power of positive thinking is limited.D. Unhappy people cannot think positively.78. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. you are pointing out the mistakes he has madeB. you are not taking his mistakes seriously enoughC. you are stressing the fact that he is not intelligentD. you are not trying to make him feel better about his faults79. What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?A. Self-approval can bring a positive change to one’s feelings.B. People with low self-respect seldom write down their true feelings.C. It is important for people to continually improve their self-respect.D. Forcing people to think positive thoughts may lower their self-respect.80. It can be learned from the last paragraph that ______.A. people can avoid making mistakes through meditationB. different people tend to have different ways of thinkingC. meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapyD. the effects of positive thinking differ from person to person(E)Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.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 negativeconsequences.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 _______________eventhough he or she knows it is not worthwhile.83. Why is exercising in the gym considered to be a positive addiction?_______________________________________________.84. How do people feel when the urge is acted on?_______________________________________________.(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷〔47分〕I.

While the number of US students in China has grown from less than 100 in the early 1980s to more than 10,000 currently, many of them are here to learn a professional skill as much as to enjoy a new culture.“In the past, foreign students came to China merely for our culture,” said Xu Qiuhan, director of BLCU’s foreign students office. “But because of China’s rapid economic and social development, being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to students’ future careers”She says her university, which attracts the largest number of foreign students in China, has witnessed a soaring number of US students in the past three years.And there are more US students who choose to stay in the country instead of going back after graduation, Xu said.More than 15,000 students in the United States are learning Chinese online with China’s E-language learning system, said Cen Jianjun, deputydirector-general of the Department of International Exchanges and Co-operation at the Ministry of Education in Beijing.He also mentioned that more than 1,500 US secondary schools have expressed an interest in the advanced placement Chinese Course and Exams.“And US President Bush’s National Securily Language Initiative, which was announced in January, will further promote the teaching and learning of Chinese in the United States,” he said.56．Why are there more and more US students choosing to study in China?A．Because China is one of the four countries with ancient civilization in the world.B．Because being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to students’ future careers.C．Because they just want to have a Chinese cultural experience.D．Because Chinese are warm-hearted to US students.57．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．After graduation, all the US students will go back to their own country.B．After graduation, all the US studensts will find a job in a local government.C．Many US students will choose to work in China instead of going back.D．Only half of the US students go back to their own country after graduation.58．From the last three paragraphs, we can know that .A．there is growing interest in learning Chinese in the United States.B．US students start to learn Chinese Course when they are in primary school.C．every student in the United States can learn Chinese through theInternet.D．more Chinese graduates will be sent to teach Chinese in the United States.59．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The US students in China.B．The rapid development of China’s economy.C．Studying in China is key to future careers for US students.D．The future of Chinese culture.60．At present, foreign students come to China .A．merely for Chinese cultureB．only to learn to speak ChineseC．in order to find a good job and work there for everD．not only to enjoy a new culture but to learn a professional skill.BA high school teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” Experience teaches that he was right. Good friendships are just not easily formed. Why?One reason may relate to the mobility in our society. Mr Darrell Sifford, a news columnist, has been studying friendship for many years. He reports the thoughts of one woman on this aspect of friendships:“She was nine, and her family had just moved to New Jersey, and she didn’t know anybody. Her mother said to her, ‘Amelia, I know you’re feeling bad because you don’t have any friends. But you can fix that. Just walk across the street －I know there’s a girl about your age over there －and knock on the door and ask her to be your friend.’“She added that the direct approach always worked when she was a child. But as she left childhood, she found that the simple direct approach was more and more difficult for her to follow. As an adult, Amelia longed to have friends but her hands were tied. The problem, according to her, is that society teaches us in a number of ways that direct action is not acceptablt behavior. We need to be less direct to cushion ourselves against possible rejection and the fright （吃惊）of exposing our own helplessness.”What are some of the obstacles to friendships? According to Mr Sifford, the greatest is the temptation（诱惑）to expect too much too soon. Deep relationshios take time. Another big difficulty is the selfish tendency（趋向）to think one “possesses”the other, with an almost exclusive right to his time and attention. Similarly, friendships require two-sided actions. In brief, you must give as much as you take. Finally, unless you spend reasonable time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will not last.Why is it so difficult to form friendships? Perhaps the answer has something to do with the impatient temperament(急躁)of some American people. It is possible, as Mr Sifford states, that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to develop. However, there can be no disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendships we want. As in all interpersonal relationships, success depends on clarity of purpose, openness to others, and a willingness to experiment. 61．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean?A．Something that makes it difficult for you to do or achieve sth.B．Something that makes it easy for you to do or achieve sth.C．Something that makes it difficult for you to understand sth.D．Something that makes it easy for you to do or understand sth. 62．The author obviously wanted to talk about .A．how to treat good friends B．obstacles to friendshipsC．how to make good friends D．different friendships63．It can be implied that adults don’t make friends in a direct approach because .A．they are afraid to be rejected by othersB．they are afraid to expose their rudenessC．they think it is impolite behaviourD．their hands are tied tightly together64．In which of the following cases is it possible for you to develop true friendships?A．You stay in one place for long enough with your friend.B．You spend all your time together with your friend.C．You completely possess your friend’s time and attention.D．You give your friend as much as you take from him.65．The author quoted many times what Mr Darrell Sifford said in order to .A．show respect for himB．share the same opinion with himC．strengthen the authority of his opinionD．make some comments about friendshipsCMuch meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at astranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary time, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others’ staring at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rube and aggressive（好斗的）. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert（转移）his gaze, his intentions are obvious:he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. As for the listener, he will, to a certain extent, look continuously at the speaker, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate（控制）you, you will feel upset. A poor liar usually exposes（暴露）himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to（局限于）lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.66．The writer says eyes can speak; he really refers to thatA．eyes can really speak sometimesB．eyes can express meaning sometimesC．eyes can understand meaningD．eyes take part in some conversations67．According to the text, a teacher should look at students in class in order to .A．f ind something wrong with the studentsB．m ake sure that students pay attentionC．s how that he or she is very attentiveD．s how the sign of honest communication68．The underlined sentence(Paragraph 6)means .A．a liar is always a poor thing and so he will be a victimB．inexperienced liars have a false idea and so are often exposedC．looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communicationD．liars often look at others straight in the eye to show honesty 69．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．People often stare at others on buses.B．People don’t like being looked at.C．Men always enjoy looking at women.D．Eye contact can attract attention.70．According to the fourth paragraph, we can learn that .A．looking too long at someone is always politeB．eye contact sometimes expresses your admiration for the opposite sex C．eyes can help you get someone you loveD．looking at someone is sometimes necessaryDA nationwide project will send 6,500 university graduates to serve the poor western countryside as volunteers this year.The volunteers will work in poverty-stricken（贫困不堪的）counties for one or two years to help develop education, health care, agriculture, culture and other sectors.The new group of volunteers will join last year’s group, who are midway through their two-year stints（期限）, bringing the number of university graduates serving the west during 2006-2007 to about 10,000.Co-sponsored（共同主办的）by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China and three ministries, the project aims to introduce talented university graduates to the western regions of the country and reduce the increasing unemployment problem.Over the past three years, at least 40,000 university graduates have served the west as volunteers, and 392 poverty-stricken counties have benefited.This year, volunteers are expected to work in sectors including education, health care, agriculture, legal aid, grassroots procuratorates, courts and financial development. The latter two sectors are recent additions to the project.During their service term, the volunteers will receive a 600-yuan(US﹩75)monthly allowance（补助）, insurance and a health check-up.The volunteers will also get assistance to land jobs or pursue further study when they finish their service.The project has helped more than 4,500 of 7,200 volunteers find jobs after their service in western China.To encourage more university graduates to get involved in the project, theorganizers are strengthening their efforts to assist volunteers in finding employment afterwards.“We will set up a database of these volunteers, gather employment information for them, provide professional training, and set up a fund（基金）for those who want to start their own businesses in the west,”said Wang Xuefeng, an official with the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China.71．So far, university graduates have served in western China as volunteers.A．at least 6,500 B．more than 7,200C．about 10,000 D．not less than 40,00072．After finishing their service in the west poverty-stricken counties, the volunteers .A．will get a sum of money as a rewardB．will continue working in the local governmentC．will be offered some help when applying for jobs by the projectD．will go to America to get a further study73．In 2006, the new group of volunteers will work in sectors.A．4 B．5 C．6 D．7 74．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．6,500 university graduates heading west as volunteers.B．The volunteers in western China.C．The development of the poor western countryside.D．The increasing unemployment problem in China.75．Who will be most interested in this passage?A．Workers.

He takes really good care of it. Here are Tami’s some suggestions of taking care of cars.▲Your car will last longer if you take it to the mechanic when it needs repairing. You can check the oil yourself. It just takes a second to pull out the dipstick（量油计）and have a look. The dipstick shows the level of oil in your car. If you drive without oil, you will destroy your engine rapidly.▲You should check the tires often. That’s really important. Checking the tires means . Ask someone at a gas station to show you how to use the air-hose pump（气泵）.▲You should also check the tire tread（外胎花纹）. The tread is the marks on the top part of the tire. It should stick out from the tire. If the tread has worn down and the tire is smooth, you are in danger. Your tire won’t hold the road.▲It is a good idea to wax（打蜡）your car at least once a year. This will keep it from getting rusty（生锈的）and dull-looking. If you want to sell your car, you need to keep it looking good.▲Besides, there is another simple way to make your car last a long time: drive easy. Don’t drive as fast as you can. Also, don’t drive hard. Which means starting off fast and turning fast. If you drive easy, it is safer,and you will have your car longer.76．What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words.)77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?Getting your car waxed at least once a year is good to keep your carin good condition.78．Please fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)79．Which way do you think is the best one to keep your car in good condititon? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.)80．Translate the underlined sentence in the second paragraph into Chinese.第二节书面表达（满分30分）唐太宗李世民是中国历史上一位很有作为的皇帝。

Grandpa came over. My exercise book was in a mess. I was afraid that he might see it and blame me for that.After a while, he patted me on the shoulder gently and said, “Keep it neat —that’s the secret.” He then explained that wh en he checked his students’ homework, he would like the neat ones. I still remember the lively examples he told me. For example, I can keep all my equal signs in line down the page when I’m doing equations(方程式). I made up my mind to do better in future.After finishing math homework, I began to write an English essay, but I could not think of anything to write. I asked, “Grandpa, is there a secret to writing essays?”He smiled, which made me feel warm and relaxed. “If there’s a secret, I suppose it’s im agination. If your essays lack it, anyone reading what you’ve written will lose track of what you are trying to say.”He continued, “Don’t worry, Adam. We’ve all got an imagination. Well, if you’re stuck, just look up any of your reading books to see how it’s done. Your Harry Potter books will do.” I nodded.“Who’s to say you can’t be as successful a writer as J K Rowling one day? Just use your imagination; write a sentence and think of one to follow it, and then keep going...”“Thanks, Grandpa.” I pr acticed using imagination to guide my writing from then on.Thanks to the two secrets, my exercise book is clean and tidy now and I can write very good essays.36. The author’s grandpa advised him to .A. keep his exercise book tidyB. do math exercises carefullyC. buy Harry Potter booksD. be patient while writing37. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s grandpa?A. Friendly and lovely.B. Patient and kind.C. Strict and cool.D. Simple and happy.38. How did the author react to his grandpa’s advice?A. He refused to take it.B. He paid no attention to it.C. He introduced it to his friends.D. He took it and made some progress.39. It can be learnt from the text that .A. people should think carefully before actingB. an experienced person is usually wiseC. family education influences children a lotD. good habits can be formed at any ageBThe Northern Cardinal (北美红雀) is a type of bird found around southeastern Canada. Their range extends down into central and eastern United States. Male Cardinals have bright red feathers, while female adults tend to be more brown or grey. Males have a black mask that extends down to their chest. Females don’t usually have a mask, but some have dark markings on their face.Baby Cardinals closely resemble females, except that they’re born with a black beak (鸟嘴). As they grow up, their beaks transforms from black to a cream color before turning orange.Northern Cardinals live in forests or in thick bushes surrounding people’s living places — both are good places for these birds to gather food. Their strong beaks help them dig insects in bushes and bite into tasty seeds, grains and fruits. The females build nests using grass. They build their nests in the middle of thick bushes, which offer them protection from attackers such as cats, dogs and snakes. When attackers get too close to the nests, both male and female Cardinals give a shrill chirp(尖叫声) to scare them away. Each year, female Cardinals lay three eggs on average. For about two weeks, the female stays with the eggs while the male brings her food and keeps attackers away. These song birds communicate through calls and songs. Males use a combination of singing and shaking their feathers to attract a f emale’s attention.Over the past 200 years, Northern Cardinals have expanded their range and moved toward warmer areas and closer to humans — a dependable source of food from bird feeders.40. What can we learn from the text?A. Male Cardinals have bright feathers on their chest.B. Female Cardinals have black feathers on their face.C. Baby Cardinals have a milky beak when they’re young.D. Baby Cardinals have a black beak before growing up.41. Northern Cardinals live near humans _______.A. to lay more eggsB. to keep themselves safeC. to find food easilyD. to build nice nests42.

Well, New York’s new law says you can’t. And you’ll be fined $100 if you do it on a New York City street.The law went into force last month, following recent research and a shocking number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets(小玩意) when crossing the street. Who’s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking(多任务的) abilities are limited.“We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can,”says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist(神经科学家) in Tennessee. “But a c ore limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once.”The young are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question. A group of 18 to 21-year-olds and a group of 35 to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code.The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted.But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or an instant message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year. The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers’ time was spent on interruptions and recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.47. Listening to MP3 when you cross the street is _____.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a cool activityD. a legal practice48. The Oxford University research suggests _____.A. the young are the great multitaskersB. the middle-aged are the great multitaskersC. the young are not the great multitaskers as people thinkD. the young are good at doing more than one thing at the same time49. When interrupted, _____.A. the younger group did better than the older groupB. the older group did far better than the younger groupC. both groups couldn’t do the jobD. the older group did as well as the younger group50. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Productivity loss caused by multitaskers.B. A survey done by Basex.C. Great loss caused by traffic accident.D. Basex, a business-research firm.51. What we can learn from the passage?A. People should concentrate on one task at a time.B. Young people shouldn’t be confident about themselves.C. Office workers are mostly young multitaskers.D. Middle-aged people are the real multitaskers.EOne of the world’s oldest creatures, a giant tortoise (乌龟) believed to have been about 250 years old, has died in the Calcutta zoo where it spent more than half its long life.Add waita, which means “the one and only” in the local Bengali language, was one of four Aldabra tortoises brought to India by British sailors in the 18th century. Zoo officials say he was a gift for Lord Robert Clive of the East India Company, who was instrumental in establishing British colonial (殖民的) rule in India, before he returned to England in 1767. Long after the other three tortoises died, Addwaita continued to thrive(茁壮成长), living in Clive’s garden before being moved to the zoo in 1875.“According t o records in the zoo, the age of the giant tortoise, Addwaita, who died on Wednesday, would be about 250 years,” said zoo director Subir Chowdhury. That would have made him much older than the world’s oldest documented living animal: Harriet, a 176-year-old Galapagos tortoise who lives at the Australia Zoo north of Brisbane, according to the zoo’s Web site. She was taken from the island of Isla Santa Cruz by Charles Darwin in the 19th century.Aldabra tortoises come from the Aldabra atoll(环礁) in the Seychelle islands in the Indian Ocean, and often live to more than 100 years of age. Males can weigh up to 550 pounds. Addwaita, the zoo’s biggest attraction, had been unwell for the last few days, said local Forest Minister Jogesh Burman.“We were keeping a watch on him. When the zoo-keepers went to his enclosure on Wednesday they found him dead,” Burman said.52. By now, the oldest documented living animal in the world is about _____.A. 176 years oldB. 100 years oldC. 250 years oldD. 200 years old53. In the last few days before Addwaita died, it _____.A. had been sent to hospital for treatmentB. had been playing with travelersC. had been found not better than beforeD. had stayed in his enclosure for days54. Which is the best title of the passage?A. An Old Aldabra Tortoise Died in IndiaB. A Remarkable Life: Tortoise Dies at 250C. A Special Kind of Tortoise—AddwaitaD. The Oldest Animal Aldabra Tortoise Died55. Where did Addwaita use to live before being moved to the zoo?A. In Brisbane.B. At the Australia Zoo.C. In Clive’s garden.D. In Britain.四、书面表达 (共两节，满分45分)第一节阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分)Many people believe that Americans love their cars almost more than anything else. It may be true. From the time youngsters(小孩)become fourteen years old, they are likely to dream of having their own cars. Many young people work after school during their last year of highschool in order to buy a car learning to drive and getting a driver’s license may be one of the most exci ting times of a young person’s life.People who almost never go to a doctor when they are sick will take their cars to a repairman at the first sign of a problem. Those who do not like to work around the home on Saturdays may devote most of that day to washing and waxing(打蜡) their cars. For some families it is not enough to have one car. They often have two or three---one for work and one for recreation(娱乐)。
