It’s adding more than 150,000 member a day, up from its pace of 100,000 six weeks ago, Facebook says.Facebook has become the central way many users keep track of Web sites they use every day. More importantly, it’s a way to keep up with what friends are doing, says Chief Technology Officer Adam Angelo, a high school classmate of Zuckerberg.Far b igger rival MySpace has difficulty striking a balance between sharing personal data and not revealing “too much information”. Many Facebook users post their mobile phone numbers, political affiliations or changes in dating status.“Facebook is not open the way the Web is open, Users share all kinds of information on the site they would never share on the Web,” Angelo, 22, says. “We get users to reveal more information because we protect users’ privacy.One protest group, called “Facebook Should Be Students ONLY”, with 20,000 members, is magnet from random discontent.“Facebook should most definitely be ONLY students,” Katerina Laurel, 15, of Kansas City, Kansas, writes in Web shorthand. “Our CHOIR teacher has a Face book membership.”Laurel’s solution is to use the site’s privacy controls to exclude the teachers/principals/dens/choir directors in her life. “I can just block them from my site if I don’t want them to see any of my profile.” She says.（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.）【1】What is Facebook?_________________________________________________________________.【2】How many active uses have Facebook had till now?_____________________________________________________________________【3】The reason why Facebook users share all kinds of information on the site they would never share on the Web is that________________________________________【4】It can be inferred that if you don’t want your profile exposed to strangers, you can_____________________________________________________________________4.Direction: Complete the following sentences using the given verbs in their proper forms.【1】A new hospital ___________ (build) in this area now.【2】The life he has been used to __________ (change) greatly soon.【3】Those naughty boys _________ (always get) into trouble.

Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the passage you have just read.(A)To Chinese immigrants, in the mid-1800s, California was “The Land of the Golden Mountain.” In their homeland they had heard the words, “There’s gold in California.” They sailed 7,000miles to join the gold rush and strike it rich. Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too.Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps.By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners. Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.60. Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?A. Because they could find good jobs there.B. Because they had found gold there.C. Because they could open laundries and restaurants there.D. Because they heard there was gold there.61. The underlined word “resented”(L.2,Para.3 ) mean “________”.A. likedB. helpedC. hatedD. served62. Which should be the title of the passage?A. Early Chinese immigrants in AmericaB. Dream to strike it richC. The difference between men and womenD. Gold miners in America(B)My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The bookNight of the U-boats told the story.MemoriesIn September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),which in those days always brought bad news. My grand- mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.TorpedoOne torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest（以免）we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.63. We can infer(推断) that the mother and children went to Swansea ________.A. to meet a friendB. to see the father offC. to take a family photoD. to enjoy the sailing of the ship64. What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?A. he was still alive.B. His knee was broken.C. His ship had been sunk.D. He had arrived in Glasgow.65. What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked?A. He lost his armB. He repaired the engines.C. He managed to take a lifeboat.D. He was the last to leave the ship.66. What is the passage mainly about?A. A group of forgotten heroesB. A book describing a terrifying battle.C. A ship engineer’s wartime experience.D. A merchant’s memories of a sea rescue.(C)Over a period of time, many habitats (栖息地)change with respect to the types of plants and animals that live there. This change is known as succession.Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by shielding the soil from direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground becomes cooler and more moist than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting（产生）of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also enhance (增加)the soil. Pine seedlings (苗)soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory (山核桃)seedlings, however, that have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grew into large trees that eventually shade out the pines.67.The best title of this passage is _____.A. The Importance of Weeds and GrassesB. The Success of Oak and HickoryC. How Environmental Habitats ChangeD. Animal and Plant Habitats68.It can be inferred (推理) from the passage that ______.A. oak and hickory trees grow taller than pinesB. weeds and grasses prefer cold climateC. pines and grasses can exist togetherD. birds encourage the growth of shrubs69. Which of the following is a stage of succession as described in the passage?A. A forest cut down to build an airport.B. A flood washing away a crop of wheatC. Wild flowers growing in an unused parking lotD. Animals being tamed (驯服)by childrenTranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.70. 什么样的发型适合她的脸型？（suit）71. 在炎热的夏日里,保护食物最有效的方法之一是把食物放在冰箱里。

Note that there is one word more than you need.Body language refers to various forms of non-verbal communication, which in a person may reveal（透露）clues as to some unspoken intention or feeling through their physical behaviors. These ___21___ can include gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Body language can also vary（不同）depending on the culture. There are a set of commonly ___22___ gestures but many are influenced by our social settings. Although this article ___23___ on interpretations（解释）of human body language, also animals use body language as a communication mechanism（机制）. Body language is typically subconscious（潜意识的）behavior, and is therefore ___24___ to be different from sign language, which is a___25___ conscious（有意识的）and intentional（故意的）act of communication.Body language may provide ___26___ as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. For example, it may indicate aggression, ___27___, boredom, a relaxed state, pleasure and amusement. However, the value of body language in recognizing cheat has been called into question.Body language is very important to communication and relationships.

Body language signals happen on both a conscious and subconscious level.Reading ComprehensionSection AAlmost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. ___31___, we are given to believe, is a right. ___32___ for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury（奢侈）, something wonderful but ___33___ to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion（错觉）, a false idea created by ___34___ and advertisers hoping to sell their products.The ___35___ choice gives birth to anxiety（焦虑）in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee p otis not exactly ___36___. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of ___37___ in many people, ending in the shopper ___38___ up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either ___39___ or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is ___40___ just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the ___41___. Advances in design and production help ___42___ the process. ___43___ also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded（说服）to replace them within a short time.

A. work B. joy C. selection D. salesSection BDirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.ADo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're “hot”. That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues ( 自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.46. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening47. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.48. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all dayBHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status (地位) is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.49.

Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the fist place.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.51. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C.

They were told：“You can keep all of the stick ers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers.”Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to an unknown child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation（变异）in a gene known as A VPR1A. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant（变体）of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.This study was published last month in the online scientific journal PLoS One. It suggested that children can be selfishless and genetics may play a role.But social scientists point out environmental influences from home, school and the wider world may play alarger role in creating good or bad habits. Studies using brain scans have shown that when someone is being generous or is described as generous, his or her brain will give off a kind of chemical. This chemical is linked to positive feelings.“If（parents）tell a kid he is a generous person, he is more likely to act generously again than if they buy him a toy,”said Nancy Eisenberg, an Arizona State University psychology professor, to The Wall Street Journal.Social scientists also Say that as people grow up and develop stronger ideas of morality（道德）and fairness, their generosity will increase.Referring to the Israeli study, Emmanuel College psychologist Joyce Benenson says to the Wall Street Journal, that even at 3 or 4 years old,“If you’ve got six packs of something, you know that giving away one isn’t really changing what you have.”Of the 136 children in the Israeli study, the largest group gave aw ay one sticker; the second largest group gave away none. Only twenty-two children gave away more than one sticker.53. According to the article, the experiment ______.A. studied more than 100 children aged between 13 and 14B. gathered all the children in a room to watch their behaviorC. found that one-third of the children were unwilling to shareD. asked the children to share stickers with their friends54. What was newly discovered by the experiment?A. A variation of a gene can influence people’s so cial behavior.B. More than half of the kids were considered to be selfish.C. Generous behavior can make a child feel good.D. Children are less generous than adults expect.55. What can we conclude from the article?A. Genes play a major role in deciding whether people are generous.B. As children grow, economical responsibility can stop them from sharing with others.C. Both genes and social environment influence whether people are generous.D. Parents could try giving toys to kids to encourage them to be generous.56. Who might be more generous according to the article?A. Those with an A VPR1A gene.B. Those growing up in rich families.C. These who receive college education.D. Those growing up in a sharing environment.Section CDirections：Choose from the sentences A~AC to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A. I listened to it 20 times at least.B. That place made me what I am today.C. Community colleges have improved a lot these years.D. Those plays filled my head with expanded dreams.AB. Of course, I enjoyed the pleasure of eating French fries between classes.AC. So I sent my test results to Chabot, a community college in nearby Hayward, California, which accepted everyone and was free.I owe（归功于…）it all to my community collegeIn 1974, I graduated from Skyline High School in Oakland, California, an underachieving student with poor SAT scores. I couldn’t afford tuition（学费）for college anyway. ___57___.For thousands of commuting students like me, Chabot was our Harvard, offering course in physics, certified public accounting, foreign language, journalism and so on. Classmates included veterans（老兵）back from Vietnam, married women returning to school, middle-aged men wanting to improve their employment prospects and paychecks. We could get our general education requirements out of the way at Chabot---credits we could transfer to a university---which made those two years an invaluable head start.Classes I took at Chabot have rippled（起涟漪）through my professional pond. I produced the HBO mini-series John Adams with an outline format I learned from a pipe-smoking historian, James Coovelis, whose lectures were interesting. Mary Lou Fitzgerald’s“Studies in Shakespeare”taught me how the five-act structures of Richard Ⅲ, The Tempest, and Othello focused their themes.In Herb Kennedy’s“Drama in Performance,”I read plays like The Hot L Baltimore and Desire Under the Elms, then saw their productions. I got to see the plays he taught, through student rush tickets at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. ___58___ I got an A. Some hours I stayed in the huge library, where I first read the New York Times, frustrated by its lack of comics.If Chabot’s library still has its collection of vinyl records（黑胶唱片）, you will find my name repeatedly on the takeout slip of Jason Robards’ performance of the monologue（独白）of Eugene O’Neill. ___59___Chabot College is still in Hayward, though Mr. Coovelis, Ms. Fitzgerald, and Mr. Kennedy are no longer there.I drove past the campus a few years ago with one my kids and summed up my two years there this way:“___60___”Complete the following sentences, using the proper forms61. This film is worth __________（see）twice.62. _________（leave）it with me and I’ll see what I can do.63. We ________（hope）to catch the 9:30 train, but found it was gone.64. It is said that the bush fire was brought under control soon. Many houses have been destroyed but no lives __________（lose）so far.65. I ___________（walk）along the street looking for a place to park when the accident occurred.66. He __________（learn）English for eight years by the time he graduates from the university next year.The World Cup is an international football competition contested by the senior men’s national teams of the members of FIFA. The championship ___67___（award）every four years since 1930. The World Cup is the world’s most widely viewed sporting event. The next two World Cups ___68___（hold）Russia in 2018, and Qatar in 2022.When I came here, I heard those words,“cradle（摇篮）of leadership”. Well, when the bough（粗树枝）breaks, the cradle ___69___（fall）, and it has fallen here, it has fallen! Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you are producing here. I can’t guarantee ___70___（say）that Charlie’s silence here today is right or wrong. I’m not a judge or jury（陪审团），but I have to remind you of the fact that he didn’t sell anybody out to buy his future. And that, my friends, is called integrity and courage. Now that’s the stuff leaders should be made of.Translation71. 在过去的几年里，上海发生了很大的变化。

I boarded a small plane together with my sister and 42other passengers． While flying over the mountains, the plane encountered violent airflow． Losing control suddenly, it hit an unknown mountain peak． The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately, leaving many injured including my sister．Adding a slight chance of being found out, we waited in the open, as opposed to waiting in the plane, even though it was freezing cold． At night, we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water． We knew our food couldn't last uslong, sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon．We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft． However, the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow, making it impossible to be seen from the sky． Later, our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended．Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival． Although the crash site was an awful place, with urine（尿）everywhere and smelling of death, I still wished to stay there． But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued． Thus, together with two other people, Canessa and Vizintin, I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help． Carrying some food and water, the three climbers started our journey． If we had known anything about climbing, we would have realized that we were already finished． The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers． Our ignorance provided our only chance．We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top．To our horror, we found nothing． Disappointed, we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain．Eventually, at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help． I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crashsite． Finally, after we had endured nineteen cruel days, the world found out that there were 16survivors who ________．（1）Why did they stay outside the plane？________A.

Because his sister might die without timely medical help．C. Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in．D. Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes．．（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？________A. Rescue people didn't notice the aircraft because of its color at the beginning．B. The public knew where the plane crashed from the radio．C. The author gave up the climb halfway due to disappointment．D.

Dear Baby,As I am writing this to you, you are safely growing in your mother's womb, getting a little bigger and stronger by the day．You are not due to this world until the first week of January, I've been told, but I have to admit, I have been thinking a lot about you lately．I don't know if you're a little girl or a little boy．Nobody knows actually except for the doctors．See, your Mom has chosen not to know, so you will be a surprise to everyone, and I like it that way．You've got a fine mother．I don't know her that well, having met her only twice, but she impressed me with her personality and her qualities．Needless to say, I like her a lot．On the other hand, I know your father quite well: he's my son．And I can tell you right now, he has no idea of the responsibilities that are going to fall upon his shoulders, the very minute we hear your first cry．But he'll manage, just like I did, just like my father and his father before him did．As impatient as I am for you to join the large family, I am also worried．The thought crossed my mind that something could go wrong with you or your Mom．You know, the kind of feeling one experiences before boarding an airplane．We know everything will be fine in the end, but we can't help thinking about it anyway．But so far, you're both doing just fine．Isn't an ultrasound （超声波） the greatest thing? Too bad we can't just look at yours for now!What worries me too is your future．This world you're coming into is not human friendly．Of course, we all want the best possible for you, but we live in troubled times and I don't foresee your life being so easy, wishing of course I am wrong．I am the first generation in our family who hasn't been called to go to war in over a hundred years．Your Dad is the second generation．My dearest wish for you is that you will be part of the third generation． The irony is that, as time progresses, humanity should learn from experiences and mistakes, but as our life is made easier all the time with new technology, I get the notion that somehow, we are going backwards．One would think that with such powerful means as the Internet, for example, communication between people as well as education in general would improve．Is it the case? I'm not sure．Anyway, we'll have plenty of time later to discuss this as you grow up and learn．Because you don't know it yet, but you and I will talk alot, provided I am around for some time．You're coming to this world with a lot of pluses on your side．You will be born into a close knit, loving family, and even though it can be overbearing sometimes, thisalone, Child, is priceless!Both your parents are good providers, so you will probably alwayshave what you need until you fly off the nest．Both of them work in the medical field, so your health and growth will be carefully watched．Both sets of your grandparents are alive and reasonably well, so you can be sure they'll all stand in everybody's and each other's way just to catch a glimpse of you．But in the end, your life will be yours, and your decisions and choices will determine which direction you want to go．Most likely, you will be baptized （洗礼） and that's where we'll draw the line．You will be left to make your own decisions as you grow up and discover the world, but you'll never be alone to do so, you can always rely on any of us for advice and help if you so wish．We'll be there for you．Love,Your Grandfather （you know, the crazy, ugly one!）（1）What do we know about the baby's father？________A.He is successful but irresponsible．B.He doesn't know what it takes to be a father now．C.He will get nowhere with taking care of a baby．D.He will mean his child to be a soldier．（2）What does the underlined sentence"You're coming to this world with a lot of pluses on your side"probably mean？________A.The baby will be burdened with a whole host of responsibilities．B.The baby cannot fall short of the large family's high expectations．C.The baby is bound to succeed in life with the help of the family．D.The baby will enjoy considerable advantages in his or her life．（3）Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with？________munication and education benefit little from powerful means such as the Internet．B.The world is full of troubles and people，even neighbors，are not friendly to each other．C.The family will love the baby so much as to let the baby do whatever he or she wants．D.The grandchild must depend on the family to make important decisions and choices．（4）From the letter，we can see that the writer seems________．A.crazy and stubborn B． C.open and humourousD．二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

He must have drowned.Now with only one bookshop in town,business was better for George.But sometimes he sat in his narrow,old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window,thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him?George was very interested in old dictionaries.He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition.When the parcel arrived,the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted.But while he was having lunch,George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!

ConditionsLaj amanu,Australia,is a dry little town,sitting right on the edge of the Tanami desert.Can you imagine how surprised people were when live fish rained down on them from a darkgray cloud.It happens that there are similar cases in England and Honduras.How do clouds make fishy?The simple answer is that they don’t.There is a particular weather phenomenon(现象)called a waterspout.A waterspout is just like a tornado（龙卷风）,only it forms above oceans,lakes,or rivers.Like a tornado,a waterspout moves in a circle at high speeds.When it moves above the water,it tends to carry the fish with it,as well as frogs orother small plants or animals.Scientists couldn’t work it out at first.To make matters stranger still,the fish in Honduras were very much alive when they rained down to the ground,but they were all blind.In England and Australia,it rained fish and snakes,and none were blind.It was difficult to puzzle out,but the blind fish gave them a place to start.Scientists knew that some fish that lived in deep,underground caves with no light sources often lost their eyesight.So when blind fish rained down on Honduras,scientists began toconnect some clues（线索，提示）.Clearly,these particular fish were pulled from an underground water sourceby force.It has rained fish on every continent,and each time,people have tried in various ways to explain this strange phenomenon.Historically,villagers thought the“fishes from the heavens”might be answers to prayers（祈祷）for food.Others suggested that floods overran river banks and oceans,leaving the fish on the city streets.No scientist had actually seen the rain as it occurred, only the fish left on the ground.But in1990,a National Geographic team happened to be in Honduras when the Rain of Fishes began.They recorded what was happening and made historyby finally proving that the fish really did fall from the sky.This huge breakthrough wasn’t just a spot of good luck.It changed thousands of yearsof myths（虚构的事；谬论）and legends into true stories and provided scientific explanations for how fish came to live in deep caves.It explained ancient cave paintings and cast（投射光线）new light on how species have spread over time.It turned out to be a lot more than just a little fishy weather.68.According to the passage,a waterspout________.A.can make animals blindB.is difficult to catch on filmC.can carry items（物品）with itD.is a dangerous sea creature69.The blind fish made the scientists start to think that________.A.raining fish was a warning of natural disastersB.animals changed to match their environmentsC.the weather system differed from place to placeD.the waterspout theory seemed more possible70.The first sentence in the last paragraph probably suggests that________.A.waterspouts came to be a center of scientific researchB.the scientists were fortunate to have made their discoveriesC.hard work went into determining the cause for the raining fishD.the scientists relied heavily on unusual events to drive their studies71.The author writes the passage to________.A.explain what caused the fishy weatherB.describe the magic phenomenonC.persuade people to protect the environmentD.encourage people to do scientific research(D)A study involving8,500teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant（无知的）when it comes to money.The findings,the first in a series of reports from NatWesl that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money,arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees(学费)are currently capped at£3,000annually,but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research,the teenagers were presented with terms(条款）of four different loans but 76per cent failed to identify the cheapest.The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average£31.000by the age of25,although the average salary for those aged22to29is just£17,815.The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training,although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than£10.000.Average debts for graduates are £12，363.Stephen Moir,head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest,said."The more exposed young people are to financial issues,and the younger they become aware of them,the more likely they arc to become responsible,forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs.They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts.Nikki Fairweathcr.aged15.from St Helens,said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance,but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.72.Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A.Students understand personal finances differently.B.University tuition fees in England have been rising.C.Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D.The students'payback ability has become a major issue.73.The phrase"to raise the ceiling"in paragraph2probably means"______".A.to raise the student loansB.to improve the school facilitiesC.to increase the upper limit of the tuition（学费）D.to lift the school building roofs74.According to Stephen Moir,students_______.A.are too young to be exposed10financial issuesB.should learn to manage their finances wellC-should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD.benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance75.What can we learn from the passage?A.Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB.Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C.Financial planning is a required course at college.D.Young people should become responsible adults.Section C（8分）Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Its goal is to have good,clean,fair food for all people.B.Today,there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food.C.It should arrive on our plates in the cleanest and most environmentally responsible way.D.All people should be able to purchase healthy food.E.This event wasn’t the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement.F.Today the Slow Food Movement has already expanded out of Italy.The Slow Food Movement started in Rome,Italy in1986.When a new McDonalds was opening near a beautiful historic place,some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted,“We do not want fast food.We want slow food!”(76)________One day Carlo Petrini went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal.But thefood didn’t taste the same as he remembered.He learned that the peppers were shipped from abroad because the prices were low.This deeply concerned Carlo.Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods madetheir culture special.So he started a group to encourage this idea.It soon became the Slow Food Movement.(77)________First,what is good food?Good food is fresh.The vegetables are eaten close to the placewhere they are grown.The fish hasn’t been sitting for days before it is eaten.Good food is seasonable.It should be grown at the best time of the year for that food.Good food satisfies the senses.It should look good,smell good and taste good.And finally,good food is cultural food. Each country has special foods that make it different.Second,food should be clean.(78)________Farmers use chemicals to kill insects andfeed plants.But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms.Over time, they can cause health problems in people too.Clean food means food that does not harm our bodies or the environment.And third,food should be fair.Food should not cost too much money.(79)________Thepeople who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work.They should work in safe, Healthy conditions.第二卷I.Translation.(3+4+4+5=16分)80.作为学生，我们不应该无视校纪校规。

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.AA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or giving him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.46. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when parents ___________________________ .A. repeat it without any changeB. treat it as a jokeC. make some changesD. set it in the present47. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story isA. in a realistic settingB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. told in a different way48. The advantage for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it__________________________ .A. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe the storiesD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs49. The author mentions flying on sticks and kissing telephones to suggest that ________________________ .A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadaysBJoan Chen is famous both in China, where she grew up, and in the United States, where she now lives. How did Joan become a famous actress in two countries? It's an interesting story.Joan Chen was born in Shanghai in 1961. When she was 14, some people from a film studio(制片厂）came to her school and chose her to study at the studio. She was happy about this chance, but mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school. Soon, however she discovered that she really liked acting. At age 18, she won the Golden Rooster, China's top film prize.In the late 1970s, Joan's parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there. Her parents hoped she would study medicine. Instead, she majored in film and later looked for work as an actress. To work in the United States, Joan had to start all over again. She told Hollywood that she was an actress in China, but she only got some small parts in TV shows.One day Joan went to speak to a director who was making a movie called Tai-pan. The interview didn't go well. As she walked away, a man in a car noticed her. The man was Dino DeLaurntiis, the film's producer. He immediately offered her a leading part. A year later, she starred in Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame.50. What was true about Joan Chen when she was 14?A. Some people came to her school and chose her as an actress.B. She liked to study at the studio just because she wanted to be famous.C. The most important reason for her going to the studio was that she wouldn't like to stay atschool.D. She found she was fond of acting even before she was 14.51. When did she move to the States?A. In the late 1970s.B. After she graduated from college.C. In the late 1980s.D. In the early 1980s52. The interview with a director ______________________ .A. made her on the way to being famous in the worldB. led to no immediate good resultC. made her play a leading part in Tai-panD. gave her a chance to act in The Last EmperorCStudent participation(参与) in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student's oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor had a "manager" role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.A professor's teaching method is another factor(因素) that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor's point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are "practical" rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to "doing" for themselves.53. Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses except in .A. science and mathematicsB. the humanities and social sciencesC. informal lecture coursesD. discussion courses54. From the passage we know that education in the humanities and society _________________________ .A. has not changed muchB. pay attention to students' studying instead of teachers' teachingC. is much more important than that of science and mathematicsD. has become more practical than theoretical55. The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that .A. these professors are often not well prepared before classB. these professors want to stress "doing"C. these professors want to test the students' abilitiesD. these professors are not willing to teach theory56. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?A. Student participation is not common in the classroom in many courses like social sciences.B. Some professors want to control the classroom discussion.C. Some professors usually want the students to take part in the teaching of science andmathematics.D. New educational trends have turned up in teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry. Keys: 46. CBAB 50. CDB 53. ADBBSection CDirections; Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smallest lane to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows. During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some sadness. He said, "I never drink when I'm working—I would lose my license. "He normally goes home at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. There are times he has to stay longer and tries to make more runs. He said, "That's the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don't make the money, no one is going to give it to you. "London taxi drivers not only " take" but also " give". Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi f Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares all go to the London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children. At the sea, they are met by the mayor, and a lunch party is also held in honor of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again—by taxi and free of charge.Section DDirections; Read the following passage. Then answer the questions or complete the sentences according to the information given in the passage you have just read.The next time you try for a high-ranking post, you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending(推荐) phone call "made" by former US President George W. Bush or former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.Of course, neither of them could really do that for you—you would just "borrow" their voices. AT&T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life.The software, which turns printed text into speech, makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person's voice to say things that the person never actually said.Possible customers for the software, which is priced in the thousands of dollars, include telephone call centers, companies that make software that reads digital(电子的) files aloud, and makers of automated voice devices（装置). The advances raise several problems. Who, for example, owns the rights to a famous person's voice? (Some experts even believe that new contracts(合同) will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses. ) And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud (假冒) , would the synthesized(合成的) voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know?Even Mr Fruchterman, one of A T&T lab's possible first customers, said he wondered what the new technology might bring. "Just like you can't trust a photograph any more. " he said, " you won't be able to trust a voice either.

They have found that laughter really can _ _ p eople’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films __ __ doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effectsto exercise. It decreases blood pressure, the heart beat and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group thattolerated the pain for the time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish( 减少 ) both stress and pain.As a of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their pat ients’ condition by __ them to laugh.

Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too. Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps.By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners. Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.【1】Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?A．Because they could find good jobs there.B．Because they had found gold there.C．Because they could open laundries and restaurants there.D．Because they heard there was gold there.【2】The underlined word “resented”(L.2,Para.3 ) mean “________”.A．liked B．helped C．hated D．served【3】Which should be the title of the passage?A．Early Chinese immigrants in AmericaB．Dream to strike it richC．The difference between men and womenD．Gold miners in America2.My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The bookNight of the U-boats told the story.MemoriesIn September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),which in those days always brought bad news. My grand- mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”My most vivid memory is be ing woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.TorpedoOne torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph. In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest（以免）we forget, I havesome more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.【1】We can infer(推断) that the mother and children went to Swansea ________.A．to meet a friendB．to see the father offC．to take a family photoD．to enjoy the sailing of the ship【2】What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?A．he was still alive.B．His knee was broken.C．His ship had been sunk.D．He had arrived in Glasgow.【3】What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked?A．He lost his armB．He repaired the engines.C．He managed to take a lifeboat.D．He was the last to leave the ship.【4】What is the passage mainly about?A．A group of forgotten heroesB．A book describing a terrifying battle.C．A ship engineer’s wartime experience.D．A merchant’s memories of a sea rescue.3.Over a period of time, many habitats (栖息地)change with respect to the types of plants and animals that live there. This change is known as succession.Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by shielding the soil from direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground becomes cooler and more moist than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting（产生）of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also enhance (增加)the soil. Pine seedlings (苗)soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory (山核桃)seedlings, however, that have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grew into large trees that eventually shade out the pines.【1】The best title of this passage is _____.A．The Importance of Weeds and GrassesB．The Success of Oak and HickoryC．How Environmental Habitats ChangeD．Animal and Plant Habitats【2】It can be inferred (推理) from the passage that ______.A．oak and hickory trees grow taller than pinesB．weeds and grasses prefer cold climateC．pines and grasses can exist togetherD．birds encourage the growth of shrubs【3】 Which of the following is a stage of succession as described in the passage?A．A forest cut down to build an airport.B．A flood washing away a crop of wheatC．Wild flowers growing in an unused parking lotD．Animals being tamed (驯服)by children五、其他1.Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.【1】什么样的发型适合她的脸型？（suit）【2】在炎热的夏日里,保护食物最有效的方法之一是把食物放在冰箱里。

上海高一高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、其他1.As a boy，Tim was much influenced by books about the sea, but in fact by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor 【1】 a sailor. His father was a dentist and as a result Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere. When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic of a local doctor【2】 he was supposed to be helping to wrap up medicine bottles, but was actually trying【3】 (listen) to the conversations【4】 (take place) between the doctor and his patients in the next room.During the war Tim served in the Navy as a surgeon（外科医生）.“That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with very real suffering and【5】the whole making a success of it .”In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He【6】 (prove) his skills to himself and his ability to take decisions. Thus, while he was able to tell them what to do, he could feel he was serving them. After the war, he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside, working under an old doctor who was popular in the area,【7】 who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith. This gave the younger man many opportunities to go on【8】 (work) working as a life –saver.2.An American novelist Jonathan Franzen tells readers that he appreciated real, printed newspa pers more “as the Internet rose to power, disseminating information that could be trusted as little as it cost to read it.”That’s 【1】 turn of phrase that we could apply to the discussion of Internet rumors(谣言)and their impact: this kind of information can【2】(trust) as little as it costs to read it. That is, we can’t trust it at all. Franzen may be overstating the case to make a point. There are, after all, plenty of ways that the Internet has provided access to information that is trustworthy and accurate, not to mention helpful. The problem is【3】 the Internet also has flooded our lives with less accurate and less trustworthy material.“Digital literacy”is the name for this 21st century skill, and it is becoming as fundamentally important a s literacy itself. So【4】 do we tell the real from the false?Like anything, it takes practice at asking questions and, above all, paying attention to details【5】 (give) already. Who is the author? Do you know a real name or just a username(用户名)?Why【6】 you trust this person? Does he or she provide some credentials (证明)? There are big differences in the domains, and it is important to understand【7】 .It was【8】 (easy) to tell a trustworthy source in the days before the Internet. Then, we all knew which newspapers had the highest standards and which ones were more for sensation and entertainment than for real news and commentary.3.Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Bullying (欺负) can take a variety of forms, from the verbal being taunted or called hurtful names to the physical being kicked or shoved, as well as indirect forms, such as being excluded (排除)from social groups. A survey I conducted with Irene Whitney found that in British primary schools up to a quarter of pupils reported experienceof bullying, in which about one in ten cases was persistent(执意的). There was less bullying in secondary schools, with about one in twenty-five suffering persistent bullying, but these cases may be particularly recalcitrant. Bullying is clearly unpleasant, and can make the child experiencing it feel unworthy and depressed. In extreme cases it can even lead to suicide, though this is thankfully rare. Victimized pupils are more likely to experiencedifficulties with interpersonal relationships as adults, while children who persistently bully are more likely to grow up to be physically violent, and convicted of anti-social offences.Until recently, little help was available to teachers to deal with bullying. Perhaps as a consequence, schools would often deny the problem. “There is no bullying at this school” has been a common r efrain, almost certainly untrue. Fortunately more schools are now saying: “There is not much bullying here, but when it occurs we have a clear policy for dealing with it.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS)【1】According to the first paragraph, the fact that _________________ belongs to an indirect form of bullying. 【2】The survey the author conducted indicates that as students grow older, ______________.【3】Bullying is likely to cause ________________ feelings among victimized children.【4】One possible reason why schools denied the problem of bullying was ______________.4.Directions: Translate the following sentences into English.

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.(A)Bill Javis took over our village‟s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill‟s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o‟clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o‟cloc k Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What‟s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.62. Bill Javis became a news-agent when _______.A. he needed the moneyB. he was quite an old manC. he decided to take up fishingD. he gave up clock-repairing63. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because _______.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers came5C. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business64. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was－it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was－he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer‟s watch was－it was fast.D. Bill‟s clock was－it was old.(B)Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I cam e out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can‟t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don‟t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we‟ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood b y as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow （肘）. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档）I reached. I‟ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn‟t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you‟ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was fai nt. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.65. Which can be used to describe Mom‟s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?A. Cruel.B. Favourable.C. Strict.D. Sympathetic.66. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______.A. the strength and skill to hang and swayB. the speed of one‟s hand movementC. the skill to throw and catch thingsD. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar67.

The poor wil l bear the burden of it. The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that communities are having to fight against more extreme weather conditions.”Climate change will play havoc (浩劫) with agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases. “By 2025 the proportion of the world‟s population living in countries of great water stress will almost double, to 6 billion people. Tropical and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit —t hose countries already suffering from food shortage”.Poor countries mostly do not need high-tech solutions, but would most benefit from education, research and being shown how to farm better. The report says unchecked global warming, more than wars or political confusion, will displace millions of people and destabilize (不安定) many countries.70. Who should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions?A. International groups.B. Rich countries.C. Poor countries.D. Tropical and sub-tropical countries.71. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Poverty and climate change are closely linked.B. More and more people will suffer from the water stress and food shortage.C. What the poor countries need badly is high technology.D. International communities have to take steps to resist the bad climate.772. What is the best title of the passage?A.
