A recentexperiment suggeststhat the answer tothat question maydepend on your age.Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception (感知能力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and there people were asked to identify the larger one. Fouryearolds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by graycircles. Here's where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles—making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren't fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visualcontext. In orderwords, they willbegin to process thewhole picture at once:the tricky graycircles, as well asthe orange circle inthe middle. As aresult, they're morelikely to fall forthis kind of visualtrick.36.Doherty and histeam ofscientists did anexperiment toevaluate________.A. children's and adults' eyesightB. people's ability to see accuratelyC. children's and adults' brainsD. the influence of people's age37.When asked to findthe larger circle，________.A. children at 6got it wrong 79%of the time withno gray onesaroundB. only adults over18 got it right95% of the timewith gray onesaroundC. children at 4got it rightabout 79% of thetime with twocircles aloneon a whitebackgroundD. adults got itright most ofthe time withgray onesaround38.According to thepassage, we canknow that________.A. a smallerorange circleappears biggeron a whitebackgroundB. an orangecircle appearsbigger than agray one of thesame sizeC. a circlesurrounded byother circleslooks biggerthan its realsizeD. a circlesurrounded bybigger oneslooks smallerthan its realsize39. Visual contextmay work whenchildren getolder than________.A. 4B. 6C. 10D.1840. Why are younger children not fooled?A. Because theyare smarterthan olderchildren andadults.B. Because olderpeople areinfluenced bytheirexperience.C. Becausepeople's eyesbecome weakeras they growolder.D. Because theirbrain canhardly noticerelated thingstogether.BWhy play games？Because they are fun，and a lot more besides. Following the rules...planning your next move...acting as a team member...these are all “game”ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as ropejumping and hideandseek.Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives，such as taking turns andcooperating (合作).Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grownups. For instance，some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the handeye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games，bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country，not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war，an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette lribarne, a Californian soccerplayer，has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport，think about why you enjoy it，what skills are needed，and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.41.Through playinghideandse ek，children areexpected to learnto________.A. be a team leaderB. obey the basic rulesC. act as a grownupD. predict possible danger42.The underlined partin Paragraph 2 mostprobably means thatgames can________.A. describe life in an exciting wayB. turn reallife experiences into a playC. make learning life skills more interesting[来源:学*科*网]D. change people's views of sporting events 43. According to thepassage，why iswinning Olympicmedals soencouraging?A. It inspires people's deep love for the country.B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.44. Iribarne's goal offorming thefoundation isto________.A. bring fun to poor kidsB. provide soccer balls for childrenC. give poor kids a chance for a better lifeD. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids45. Wha t can be inferred from the passage?A. Games benefit people all their lives.B. Sports can get all athletes together.C. People are advised to play games for fun.D. Sports increase a country's competitiveness.CThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disasterarea. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1, 400 to 900.Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate,which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hol e in the ground; it is a strip mine. What a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Some people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2019, Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that itwould takeapproximately ＄433,600, 000 and more than20 years to repair theisland. This willprobably never happen.[来源:学,科,网]46. What might be theauthor’s purposein writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.B. To give a warning to other countries.C. To show the importance of money. [来源:1ZXXK]D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.47. What was Nauru likebefore theEuropeans came?A. Rich and powerful.B. Modern and open.C. Peaceful and attractive.D. Greedy and aggressive.48. The ecologicaldisaster in Naururesultedfrom .A. soil pollutionB. phosphate overminingC. farming activityD. whale hunting49. Which of thefollowing was acause of Nauru’sfinancial problem?A. Its leaders misused the money.B. It spent too much repairing the island.C. Its phosphate mining cost much money.D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.50. What can we learnabout Nauru from thelast paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders willtake theexperts’wordsseriously.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D. The phosphate mines were destroyed. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I’m still dancing. I’m having the 44 party.”I said, “Look. What about the rest of the people?”He said, “Stop.

In China, the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. It is always polite to let guests or elderly people at the table taste every dish first. But in the West, everyone has his or her own plate of food.Although there are no strict rules on how to set chopsticks and spoons, there are some things you should never do during a Chinese banquet (筵席).Firstly and most importantly, don’t put your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when people die, family members give them a bowl full of rice with a pair of chopsticks sticking out upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it appears that you want someone at the table to die.Make sure the spout(容器嘴) of the teapot is not facing anyone, as this is impolite. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, you should not tap on your bowl. If you are in someone’s home, it is like insulting the cook.56. What is the difference between Chinese and Western eating habits according to Paragraph 1?A. In China people are very polite, while in the West people are not so.B. In China people share the dishes, while in the West people eat separately.C. In China people use the chopsticks, while in the West people use the knife andfork.D. None of the above.57. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. The reason why chopsticks shouldn’t be put upright in the rice bowl.B. The Chinese use chopsticks to eat.C. The Chinese eating habits.D. How to use chopsticks.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. It is polite to taste the dishes before the guests or the elderly.B. You can put your chopsticks wherever you want.C. Never tap on your bowls with the chopsticks during the meal.D. Teenagers can stick their chopsticks in the rice bowl.59. The underlined word “insulting” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.A. playing jokes onB. laughing atC. treating badlyD. looking down upon60. Why is it impolite to tap on your bowl when you eat in a friend’s home?A. Because it means that you don’t respect the cook.B. Because it means that somebody will die.C. Because tapping on the bowl will bring bad luck.D. Because it means that your friend is a beggar.BI grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the coop. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace. I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and then went on to sing until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook.I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (主管) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked, and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call — Warner Brothers Records wanted to sign a record deal with me. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies.My best efforts h ave gone into every job I’ve ever held.It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.61.

They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as room-and-board. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things.Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its web site says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Our Foreign Student Services, including links to web sites discussed in our reports, can be found at . To learn more about higher education in America, the State Department has a special web site: .66.

Six experts in forestry science and economics say forest growth is on the increase in some countries and the number is rising. Professor Kauppi says the findings suggest the world may be able to reach a turning point away from deforestation (毁林). Many experts have considered that impossible. But the researchers say it may be possible to expand the world’s forests by ten percent, or an area about the size of India, by 2050.They used information released last year by the Food and Agriculture Organization. The new study looked at the fifty nations with the most forests. The researchers used a new way to measure forest resources. They considered more than just the amount of land covered by trees. They also considered forest density, tree sizes, biomass (生物量) and the amount of atmospheric carbon captured in forests. The biomass represents all plants and tree growth.The researchers say growing stock increased in twenty-two of the fifty countries. And, in about half of the fifty countries, biomass and carbon storage also increased. Theresearchers say forest areas and biomass are still being lost in such important countries as Brazil and Indonesia. But they found gains in others, including the world’s most populous nations. They say China and the United States have had the greatest gains. And they say India has reached the right balance between forested and non-forested land.In percentage terms, though, the study says that forest areas have expanded fastest in the last fifteen years in Vietnam, Spain and China. And they have shrunk fastest in Nigeria and the Philippines. Professor Kauppi says the main obstacle to forest growth is fast-growing poor populations that burn wood for cooking fuel, or sell it for quick money or clear forest for crops. But a number of scientists criticized the use of information that came from governments. They said some governments didn’t keep good records about their forests, and might not tell the truth.71. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The research team is made up of experts from four countries.B. By 2050, India’s forest will have expanded by 10%.C. Professor Kauppi says it is possible to stop deforestation on the Earth.D. The Food and Agriculture Organization has provided some useful information forthe research.72. Which of the following statements did the researchers consider when measuringforest resources?A. The amount of land covered by trees.B. Forest density, tree sizes and biomass.C. The amount of atmospheric carbon captured in forests.D. All of the above.73. From the third paragraph, we learn that ________.A. in about 50% of the fifty countries, biomass and carbon storage increasedB. forest areas and biomass are still being lost in ChinaC. Brazil is one of the world’s most populous nationsD. Indonesia has reached the right balance between forested and non-forested land74. What delays forest growth?A. Some people in developing countries burn or sell wood from forests.B. There are too many people in the world.C. Forests are being lost in 22 countries.D. Some governments don’t tell the truth.75. What is the tone of this passage?A. Critical.B. Sorry.C. Indifferent.D. Hopeful.阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。

The Olympic debutant (初次参赛者) led all the way to clock 44.345 seconds, winning the nation's third winter Olympic gold medal after Yang Yang's two in 2002.Bulgarian Evgenia Radanova, world record holder and 2002 silver medalist, had to settle for a silver again with a time of 44.374 seconds. Canada's Anouk Leblang-Boucher got the bronze in 44.759 with Chinese Fu Tianyu disqualified for cross tracking.The 20-year-old Wang, who has won four World Cup races over 500m, proved herself as the most consistent short tracker in the world. Her victory helped ease China's pain of losing an expected gold in the women's 500m long-track speed skating when World Cup leader Wang Manli came second to Russia's Svetlana Zhurova on Tuesday. Like China's Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang, Wang jumped onto the podium and waved excitedly to the cheering crowd. "Until Ijumped onto the podium did I know my name had not yet been announced," Wang said, laughing. "I was just so excited and anxious to get onto the podium."South Koreans Kang Yun-Mi and Jin Sun-Yu, tipped as biggest threats to Chinese skaters before the competition, were edged out in the semifinals.41. Which of the following statements is true?A. Wang Manli had been expected to win the women's 500m long track speed skating but she failedB. Evgenia Radanova became world record holder in 2002.C. Wang Meng won the first gold medal in the Turin Winter OlympicGames.D. Svetlana Zhurova came second together with Wang Manli.42.Why did Wang Meng jumped onto the podium before her name was announced?Because Liu Xiang had done so before.Because she didn't understand the language.Because the cheering crowd wanted her to do so.Because she was so excited and anxious.43. How many skaters are mentioned in this passage?A. 10B. 9C. 11D. 844. Which of the following explanations is closest in meaning with theunderlined word “edged out” in the last paragraph?A. forbidden to take partB. kicked outC. chosenD. picked outBWith the number of college graduates climbing to a record high this year—some 2.12 million are entering the job market, an increase of 670,000, or 46.2 percent, over last year, many people are asking if China's first “McDonald's generation", born in the early 1980s,can stand the intense competition and find a place in the job market. They say this will be a test of both China's job market and its carefree younger generation.“Do not worry. We'll get whatever we want"，they tell each other to ease their own anxiety.Born in the early days of the country's reform and opening to the outside world, growing up in the market economy, the youngsters, familiar with McDonald's and Mickey Mouse, love to eat hamburgers, and wear foreign brand jeans and T-shirts and worship Bill Gates. Compared with their parents, they enjoy more freedom in looking for a job—and with that freedom coming burdens.These college graduates are seen scouring recruitment information in newspapers and journals, the Internet and job markets nationwide.Shortly after hotel management major, Hao Wenhua, a young woman from Chongqing in Southwest China, failed the recruitment test of a five star hotel in Guilin, South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. She appeared at a job market in Nanning, approximately 300 kilometers from Guilin, looking rather tired.Many businesses and companies say that they would take on experienced staff rather than the new graduates who are short of the experience of how to succeed in today's fast paced society.45. Which of the following groups of people belongs to China's first McDonald's generation?A. People who were born in the early days of China's reform and opening to the outside world.B. People who like to eat hamburgers and wear foreign brand clothes.C. People who admire Bill Gates.D. People who lack the experience of how to succeed in today's fast46.What can we infer from the story of Hao Wenhua in the passage? We can infer______ .A. that there are many chances to find jobs in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous RegionB. that hotel management is not a good major in collegeC. that there is intense competition in the job marketD. that many businesses and companies don't like new college graduates47.What is the best title for the passage?A. Fierce Competition in the Job MarketB. McDonald's Generation Has Grown up.CYour mobile phone rings, and instead of usual electronic signals, it's playing your favorite music. A friend sends you a favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone.The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones---all –purpose gadgets that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one. Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers.The fans could pass music or songs along to friends--- a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile phone downloadswould be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of your mobile, based in Santa Monic, California. “If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It's like going through a toll (收费)gate. There's more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”Massachusetts-based converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that let people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.“A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you'll be disappointed if you think you can change it into a radio,” said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a song while you are on vacation, you appreciate the feeling.”48. The title of this passage should be _______.A. Wonderful Mobile PhonesB. The Music BusinessC. The Internet, A Modern InventionD. Music On Your Phone49.The underlined word “blend” (in Paragraph 2)probably means _______.A. sendB. becomeC. combineD. compare50.Record companies _______ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.A. are worried aboutB. are interested inC. try hard to stopD. take no notice of51.According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to______ through the mobile phone network than on the Internet.A. protect the copyright of music worksB. send personal messagesC. pass music to friendsD. send voice mailDJune 26,2000—the Human Genome Project, a great 3 billion,15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in fast developing field of biotechnology(生物学) have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities forhuman health, as well as for the popular imagination。
