Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression “take a deep breath and count to 10”, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is “biting their lip”. This m eans not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it is probably best to “bite your lip.”But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣泄情绪), as long as you do it at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your frustration out this way, you’ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.If you do lose your temper with someone and swear at them, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say “pardon my French”. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.66. According to the passage, what does the expression “pardon my French” mean?A. “Please let me through”.B “I can’t speak French well”.C. “Sorry I said a bad word”.D. “I’m very angry with you”.67. What does letting out your frustration help you to do?A. Make others more upset.B. Feel happier about yourself .C. Solve a problem calmly.D. It is no help at all.68. Who is this passage most likely written for?A. All kinds of peopleB. Young childrenC. Very angry peopleD. People who like to swear69．How does this passage view expressing emotions?A. They should be kept very private.B. They need to be expressed but in a way that hurts no one.C. They should be expressed any way you like.D. They should only be expressed if they are positive.70. The letter is probably from __________.A. Supervisor Management Unit B Thames Valley PoliceC. Criminal Justice SystemD. Crime Reduction Committee71. What’s the purpose of this letter?A. To thank Ms. Adamczak for her contribution to the security of her community.B. To inform Ms. Adamczak of how the investigation of the crime she reportedwas goingC. To respond to Ms. Adamczak’s crime reportD. To inform Ms. Adamczak of the investigation result of crime she reported72. Which one is not the possible result of this reported crime?A. The police will pay a visit to Ms. Adamczak’s .B. The police will contact Ms. Adamczak and give her an update.C. The police will not send Ms. Adamczak any further letters.D. Your report will be held on file as an undetected crime.73. What does the word “leads” most probably mean?A. Clue.B. Darkness.C. Investigation.D.Contact.(C)China needs to set absolute restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions(释放) if it is to fulfill its aim to set up a carbon market over the next five years, a cabinet office think tank said in a paper.“It is only under an absolute emissions cap that carbon emission permits will become a scarce resource and possess the qualities of a commodity,” the State Council‟s Development and Research Center said in a paper in Seeking Truth, a magazine published by the ruling party.China has traditionally baulked(犹豫) at the idea of emissions caps either on a regional basis or for industrial sectors, invoking a key Kyoto protocol principle that puts most of the burden of cutting green-house gases on developed countries.China, the world ‘s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, has also been under external pressure to make stronger commitments in the battle against global warming .The country has been the biggest beneficiary(受益人) of the Clean Development Mechanism, a UN-backed scheme that allows industrialized countries to meet their CO2 reduction targets by purchasing certified emission reductions or CERs from low-carbon projects launched in developing nations.However, the European Union, the biggest buyer of CERs, has said it will not accept CERs generated by Chinese projects once the first phase of its Emissions Trading Scheme ends in 2012, though projects already registered will remain valid.74. What does China hope to do in the next five years?A. to cut its emissions by 45%B. to set up a carbon marketC. to have lower emissions than other countriesD. to increase both emissions and production75. China agreeing to limit emissions now because______A. they care about the environmentB. emissions harm people’s healthC. of pressure from other countriesD. they want more profit for their factories76．How does the CER scheme work?A. Countries can buy the right to produce as much carbon emissions as they like.B. All countries are required to set a carbon emissions cap and can then getcertificates on how developed their environmental programme is.C. Developed countries are allowed to produce more emissions than industrialcountries.D. Developed countries can buy the right to produce more carbon emissions fromdeveloping countries that produce less.77. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Air pollution is still increasing the problem of climate change all over the world.B. China is still resisting cutting emissions as it is necessary for themanufacturing industry.C. China believes that it is free from meeting international standards on emissions.D. China will need to cut its emissions in the near future in order to keep upwith the international communitySection C（8%）Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friend, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us.So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to (沉溺于) it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda（心思，计谋）, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they’re more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed（强加） from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value system of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.(Note: Answer the questions in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)78. What happens to people if they care too much for the approval of others? 79．The price of the approval of others is ______________80. Why is it unreliable for us to live by the opinions of others?81. What’s the main idea of this article?第II卷I. Translation（22%）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.对手一拳打在他的嘴边。

Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since. But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared theDNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."61. The baby travelled on the Titanic with his___________.A. motherB. parentsC. auntD. relatives62. What is probably the boy's last name?A. SchleiferiB. Eino.C. Magda.D. Panula.63. This text is mainly about how______________.A. the unknown baby's body was taken from the north AtlanticB. the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova ScotiaC. people found out who the unknown baby wasD. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 yearsBTwo hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world's largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows(草地), mountain and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats(栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos' natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会) named the area one of America's "Last Great Places" .Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy's Bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging（打造）partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose's family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family's land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents. "The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort."For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world's other "Last Great Places," please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .64. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America's "Last Great Places" is to_____.A. gain support from the local communityB. protect it from irresponsible developmentC. make it a better home for black bearsD. provide financial security for future generations65. We learn from the passage that________.A. the population in the Pocono area is growingB. wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC. the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD. farmlands in the Pocono area are getting smaller fast66. What does Bud Cook mean by "having a local presence" (Line 1, Para. 5)?A. Financial contributions from local business leadersB. Consideration of the interests of the local residentsC. The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the areaD. The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area67. The passage most probably is _____.A. an official documentB. a news storyC. an advertisementD. a research reportCRalph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took them about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is California’s original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing—speedup!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap. Ralph’s instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“Don’t thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. You’re under arre st.”“What?” Ralph was astonished. “What’s going on?”“Buying scalped tickets(黄牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Don’t worry. We’ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!” 68. Why didn’t Ralph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?Because they were not very interested in baseball.Because they lived far away from the stadium.Because it was time-consuming to go there.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.69. Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because the road conditions were poor.D. Because people always drove too fast.70. By saying “Ralph’s instincts were correct,” the author means that ________.A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the manC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable prices71. What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. A police officer.C. A robber.D. Mayor of the city.DIf Procter & Gamble stooped (堕落) to hire Vietnam veterans（老兵）to peek（偷看）into a rival’s(对手的) dustbins, it knows it is not alone. Spying is common in consumer product industries where the timing of a $ 100 million marketing campaign and a product launch can be critical to success or failure.In January, Kraft, the food giant, accused a rival of stealing trade secrets about a new pizza base. Kraft claimed that Sc hwan’s Sales enterprises hired a double agent and a freelance(自由职业者) corporate intelligence agent to find the secret to Kraft’s “rising crust” frozen pizza. According to Kraft, the freelance agent Marc Barry pretended as a reporter, a food researcher and a Kraft manager to collect information. The strategy apparently worked. The company complained that even “aslight advantage in the market place could mean millions of dollars of sales lost.”Even Unilever admits the importance of market intelligence. “Ever yone does competitive intelligence.” The company said, but the problem is the dividing line between legal research and immoral or even illegal activities. The law is unclear: breaking and entering is clearly illegal but studying rivals through dustbins on public property does not go against the law. Spying has also leapt into cyberspace with the recent investigation by the European Parliament into the use of the Echelon network, a military intelligence（情报）network. France and Holland complained that the netw ork, run by Britain’s GCHQ and America’s National Security Agency, was being used to spy on corporate e-mails, causing their national firms to lose deals. Procter & Gamble itself knows the risks and the company’s attempts to build a wall around its headquarters. According to Alecia Swasy, a financial journalist, leaving an internal telephone directory on your desk is an offence likely leading to be unemployed at P&G.72. The chief concern of the consumer product companies is ______.A. to hire veterans to peek into a rival’s dustbinsB. to know that they are not alone in competitive spyingC. to invest a $ 100 million into consumer product industriesD. to set the time at which products are put on marketWho was hired by Schwan’s Sales enterprises to find Kraft’s secret?A. A Vietnam veteranB. A food researcherC. A Kraft managerD. A double agent74. Which of the following mentioned in the passage doesn’t do spying?A. The Echelon networkB. France and HollandC. Schwan’s Sales enterprisesD. America’s National Security Agency75. The best title for this passage may be ______.A. Big Business of Industrial SpyingB. Legal Research or Illegal ActivityC. The Key to Success or FailureD. The Importance of Market IntelligenceESome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building rules wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to resist a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern" at night, according toone observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is strengthened with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber(木头) pilings (屋基)—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges (波涛汹涌) to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.76. After the tragedy caused by. Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina's shore line are required________.A. to be easily reinforcedB. to look smarter in designC. to meet stricter building standardsD. to be designed in the shape of cubes77. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because________.A. it is strengthened by steel rodsB. it is made of redwoodC. it is in the shape of a shellD. it is built with timber and concrete78. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to ________.A. withstand peak winds of about 200 km / hrB. anchor stronger pilings deep in the sandC. break huge sea waves into smaller onesD. prevent water from rushing into the house.79. The main function of the shell is________.A. to strengthen the pilings of the houseB. to give the house a better appearanceC. to protect the wooden frame of the houseD. to slow down the speed of the swelling water80. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________.A. fancy-lookingB. waterproofC. easily breakableD. extremely strongTranslation(20%)1. 学生们应该学会把学习与娱乐结合起来。

A. but for B. for all C. due to D. at all65. A. relationship B. difference C. interference D.familiaritySection B（24%）Directions: Read passage A, B, C and D. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression “take a deep breath and count to 10”, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is “biting their lip”. This means not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it is pro bably best to “bite your lip.”But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣泄情绪), as long as you do it at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your frustration out this way, you’ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.If you do lose your temper with someone and swear at them, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say “pardon my French”. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.66. According to the passage, what does the expression “pardon my French” mean?A.“Please let me through”.B “I can’t speak French well”.C.“Sorry I said a bad word”.D.“I’m very angry with you”.67. What does letting out your frustration help you to do?A.Make others more upset.B. Feel happier about yourself.C. Solve a problem calmly.D. It is no help at all.68.
