A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 55 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can got on a bicycle after several decades and still 56 away. A mother who has not 57 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “ Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following: 58 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 59 of time we will remember it.In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 60 ourselves of poe ms such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We no only learn but61 .The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, 62 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 63 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning; 64 , is usually a good investment toward the future.55. A. only B. hardly C. still D. even56. A. more B. drive C. travel D. ride57.

European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, 65 cash encouragement, some women just don’t want to be 66 holding the baby. “What we know is that it’s good for the 67 if men and women share theburden of having children,” says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry.68 Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) 69 day off work.Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 70 go give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (产假)。

He was only three when he flooded the kitchen.His mother, Angela Brown, is in despair. She is very busy looking after her new baby, a little girl called Laura, as well as Daniel. She told us, “Daniel is so full of curiosity. ”At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling out of a wardrobe (衣橱) he has pulled over onto the floor, with a book in his hand. “It’s for you Mum, ”he says and looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn’t look like a naughty boy.Angela told me all about it. “Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine. ”Jasper, she explained, is the Browns’ dog.“When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty! It’s amazing how one little boy can cause so much trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sister’s wedding and the neighbors haven’t spoken to us since.”Angela told me about Daniel’s most expensive crime.“I was about to do the washing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in the water was already flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined and had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older. ”Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is rarely bored. Meanwhile he continues to be the naughtiest little boy in England. Will his baby sister Laura grow up to be the naughtiest little girl?75. What did Daniel do while his mother was talking to the author?A. He drove away the family car.B. He cut off the hair of the girl next door.C. He flooded the kitchen.D. He fell to the floor with the wardrobe.76. Why was Daniel going to put the dog in the washing machine?A. He meant to clean the dog.B. He wanted to punish the dog.C. He intended to make trouble.D. He wished to draw his mother’s attentio n.77. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. the mother spoiled the boyB. the boy found school life interestingC. the mother lost hope in the boyD. the boy had no freedom at homeBTransportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers (障碍) to transportation and communication.In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans tocarry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas (签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.78. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the readers that _____.A. people have been allowed to travel freely within the countryB. people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasonsC. travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visasD. customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries79. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because _____.A. they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to othersB. they think such freedom will lead to warsC. they often disagree with each other on important mattersD. they want to show their authority over communication80. We may learn from the passage that _____.A. people do not care about the removal of barriers between countriesB. people can not remove the obstacles made by themselvesC. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome that natural onesD. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist81. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A. Barriers Made by PeopleB. Functions of CommunicationC. Restrictions on TransportationD. Progress of Human SocietyCNOBLE SMUGGLERThis Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler (偷运者). DuringWorld War Ⅱ, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto (聚居区). Shegave them new identities, found them safe places withgood-hearted Christians,and kept the children’s real names buried in jars in herneighbors’’ gardens.(The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story,is being performed. )At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D. C. , to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her. You risked your life to save the children.I was taught by my father t hat when someone is drowning, you don’t ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.How did you persuade parents to give up their children?I had to answer honestly th at I didn’t even know if we would get past the guards.What was the most frightening moment?When I saw a priest (牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in their best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.Did you tell your own two children what you did?I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me . I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn’t do more.—Samantha Levin82. We can learn from the passage that Irena Sendler _____.A. will go to Washington to accept the award with her daughterB. was caught a few times while she was rescuing the Jewish childrenC. told those parents that their children’s lives would be guaranteedD. saved thousands of Jewish children at the risk of her own life83. The expression “everyone was drowning”can best be replaced by“_____”.A. everyone was involved in the warB. all the people were drownedC. people were facing danger and deathD. Jewish children were being killed84. Which of the following could NOT be expected when Sendler was smuggling the Jewishchildren?A. Some children were told to pretend to be sick in front of the guards.B. Some children pretended to be returning home after visiting servants in the ghetto.C. The children were asked to remember and use new names instead of real ones.D. The children pretended to be brothers and sisters from one big family.85. Sendler didn’t tell her own children what she did in the war because _____.A. she thought it was the most frightening experienceB. the topic was too painful and heartbreaking to mentionC. it was already recorded and made known to the publicD. she planned to bury the secret in her heart until her deathDIn toy stores, what is old is new again.Some of the latest toys to hit store shelves include several names that were popular in the 1980’s.Among them: He-man, My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers. Their appearance is surprising in an industry where all but classic toys like Barbie dolls tend to stay in the market for only a few years before they leave kid culture for good.The return of toys introduced a generation ago, say experts, is largely a generational effect. These toys were among the first to be marketed primarily through TV cartoons. The result: The toys carried with them a much stronger brand identity than toys from previous ages. When those who played with these toys during the 1980s began having children of their own, businessmen realized they could tak e advantage of parents’ emotional ties by bringing the toys back.“We’re starting to see a lot of properties and products coming back now for the kids of Generation X, ”says Greg Livingston, vice president of Wondergroup, a children’s product marketing firm. But other industry observers say this return-of-toy trend is more rooted in basic economics. When the economy isn’t strong, they say , toy-makers become more careful.One of the safest marketing techniques is bringing back toys that are proven successes. “If you’re in the business of making and selling toys, you’re going to go the safest route, which is using proven brands, ”says Stephanie Oppenheimer, co-founder of the Oppenheimer Toy Co. , an independent consumer group that rates toys. Other companies use product ideas that have sold well in other countries, such as Japan. Still, Ms. Oppenheimer also believes that American consumers simply are not in the mood for new, high-tech toys anymore. “People are interested less in wha t we wish we had and more in what we already have, ”says Oppenheimer.“As a country, we’re looking for things that remind us of simpler times.”86. The expression in the first paragraph “what’s old is new again”means that “______”.A. both old and new toys are soldB. old and new toys are of the same priceC. old toys are in fashion againD. old toys have taken on new forms87. Which of the following is NOT listed as the cause for the return of the toys popular about twodecades ago?A. Generational effect.B. Economic factors.C. Marketing techniques.D. Fierce competition.88. The expression “for good” in the second paragraph can be replaced by______.A. for everB. for the futureC. for the bestD. for all89. The main purpose of the passage is____.A. to introduce the development of kid culture in the past centuryB. to analyze the reappearance of toys popular in the 1980sC. to promote the marketing techniques of toy manufacturersD. to show the impact of high-tech toys on the kids of Generation X四、书面表达 ( 本大题共 1 题, 共计 10 分)Directions：Write an English composition in over 120 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.简要描述图片，并谈谈你对学生在业余时间参加过多的补习和培训的看法。

European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, 65 cash encouragement, some women just don’t want to be 66 holding the baby. “What we know is that it’s good for the 67 . if men and women share the burden of having children, says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. 68 Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) 69 day off work.Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 70 to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave(产假). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months paid leave, with a warning: use it or 71 it.Kindlund admits that men are under 72 to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. “It’s not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace, he says. “But it’s good for the father and for the child if they can 73 a relationship.”In Norway, a(n) 74 policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.65.

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.AFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器) and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patien ts, nurses and others doctors, it’s easy to take people in,” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn’t think there was anything wrong. “I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman ha dn’t showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科医生) who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,” Judge Adams warned York.75. York was proud of the fact that _______.A. a surgeon let him watch an operationB. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor76. York learned how to behave like a doctor by ______.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient77. Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?A. She had swallowed something and almost died.B. She had to have an emergency operation.C. She had been injured in a road accident.D. She had lost consciousness while driving.78. The judge’s remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he _______.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behaviour of the psychiatristB(You may read the questions first.)Products: mail orderBuy 3-piece luggage set for only ￡69.99Half price offerPack with confidence, Travel in Style...

All these advertisements are aimed at those_________.A. who like to order goods at homeB. who are going to travel abroadC. who do market researchesD. who are interested in intelligence testsCWe are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed--no examination is perfect--but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them--a form of favouritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defence of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child form the favoured school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.82. The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that________.A. bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.B. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobsC. poor children with certificates are favoured in job marketsD. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success83. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.C. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.D. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.84. The opponents of the examination system will agree that _________.A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selectionB. computers should be selected to take over many jobsC. special classes are necessary to keep the school standardsD. schools with academic subjects should be done away with85. The passage mainly focuses on _______.A. schools and certificatesB. examination and equalityC. opportunity and employmentD. standards and reputationDHoliday Inns and Mc Donald’s, both saw unmatched growth in the 1960s. Their growth opened another direct business operation--franchising(特许经营).These operations have the same general pattern. The franchisor, the parent company, first establishes a successful retail(零售) business. As it expands, it sees a profit potential in offering others the right to open similar business under its name. the parent company’s methods and means of identification with consumers are included in this right. The parent company supplies skill, and may build and rent stores to franchisees. For these advantages the franchisee pays the franchisor aconsiderable fee. However, some of the advantages and disadvantages are different.By extending a “proven” marketing method, a parent can profit in several ways. First, the franchisee’s purchase price gives the parent an immediate return on the plan. Then, the sale of supplies to the franchisee provides a continuing source of profits. As new businesses are added and the company’s reputation spreads, the value of the franchise increases and sales of franchises become easier. The snowballing effect can be dramatic. Such growth, too, brings into play the economies of scale(规模经济). Regional or national advertising that might be financially impossible for a franchisor with 20 franchises could be profitable for one with 40.The parent, then, finds immediate gains from the opportunity to expand markets on the basis of reputation alone, without having to put up capital or take the risk of owning retail stores. Added to this advantage is a less obvious but material one. Skilled, responsible retail managers are rare. People who invest their capital in franchises, through, probably come closer to the ideal than to paid managers. In fact, the franchisee is an independent store operator working for the franchisor, but without an independent’s freedom to drop supplies at will. Of course the factory’s costs of selling supplies are less.
