Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.19.What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman?______A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.BThe iPhone the iPad:each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚).Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i"-and many other brands are following suit.The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-used the title in 2008.A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK一that plays music and vide is called "iTeddy".A slimmed-down version(简装本)of London's Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name "i".In general,single-letter prefixes(前缀)have been popular since the 1990s,when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.Most "i" products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's "i",it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter "i" Why not use "a","b",or "c" instead?According to Tony Thorne,head of the Language Center at King's College,London,"i"works because its meaning has becomc ambiguous.When Apple uses "i",no one knows whether it means Internet,information,individual or intcractive,Thorne told BBC Magazines."Even when Apple created the iPod,it seems it didn't have one clear definition," he says."However,thanks to Apple,the term is now connected with portability." adds Thorne.Clearly the letter "i" also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.Each person believes they have their own needs,and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with"Google" and "blog",readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows,people grow tired of fads.From the 1900s to 1990s,products with "2000" in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern.How ever,as we entered the new century,the fashion disappeared.20.People use iPlayer to ______ .A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers21.We can infer that the Independent's "i" is designed for ______ .A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers22.The underlined word "ambiguous" means " ______ ."A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique23.The writer suggests that ______ .A. "i" products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is a live bearC. the letter "b" replaces letter "i" to name the productsD. the popularity of "i" products may not last longCZoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations)consultant (顾问)and life was going well-she had a great job,a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London.Then one evening in June last year,she received a text message telling her she was out of work.The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through." she said."After everything I'd done for thecompany,they dismissed me by text!I was So angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job.I hated everything about the city and my life."Then,Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend,Kathy,to come and stay.Kathy and her husband,Huw,had just bought a farm in north-west Wales.Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London,and now,ten months later,she is still on the farm."The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm,I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe." Everything aboutmy past life suddenly seemed meaningless."Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets."It's a hard life,physically very tiring." she says."In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted.But this is a good,healthy tiredness.Here,all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm.Every day brings a new experience.Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor.Since Christmas,she has been helping with the lambing--watching a lamb being born is unbelievable,she says,"It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had.I could never go back to city life now."24.When working as a PR consultant in London,Zoe thought she lived a ______ life.A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring25.The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy's farm is that ______ .A.

A misfortune may turn out a blessing.D. Kill two birds with one stone.DMy grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States.The rest of his family remained in Europe.When World War I broke out,he seemed to have become another man,downhearted.Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare,but out of fear:if his only son,my uncle,had to go to war,it would be cousin fighting against cousin.One day in 1918,my Uncle Milton received his draft notice.My grandparents were very upset.But my mother,at the age of 10,felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off of war.Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends,my uncle bought them all service pins,which meant that they had a loved one in the service.All the little girls were delighted.The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers,without any training but all inuniforms,boarded the train."The band played and the crowd cheered.Although no one noticed,I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son.The train slowly pulled out,but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused.Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station.There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out.Someone shouted,"The war is over!"For a moment,nobody moved,but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers.The men lined up in two lines,walked down the steps,and with the band playing,marched down the street,as returning heroes,to be welcomed home.My mother said it was a great day,but she was just a little disappointed that it didn't last a tiny bit longer.28.What the grandfather was most worried about was ______ .A. the spread of the world warB. the safety of his two cousinsC. a drop in his living standardsD. his relatives killing each other29..

Usually, his mind drifted(漂泊)--- to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants.Willard noticed that the ants were coming and going from a hole in the dirt. One ant was carrying a piece of grass, and Willard thought, “He’s trying to build a house, so I am going to help him!” Willard constructed a little building by using small sharp pieces of wood. Then he put some sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. when they did, Willard built more houses.At school, Willard still struggled, but now he know could do something special. He went home and created tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school.At age nine, Willard began carving(雕刻)faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he showed his mother the carved faces, she said, “This is what you do well. You should work hard and can be the best in the world.”When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent.Finally, he quit his factory job to let his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world come true. Willard’s mother advised him, “The smaller you carve, the bigger your name will become.” So he began to carve even smaller.Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world!

Willard sculpts everything from famous people to fictional characters.Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man.

In the 1800s, a strange sight began to be reported by farmers. Then in the 1970s, this strange event began to happen more and more often. People traveled for miles to stand in the fields and take photos of something they couldn't easily explain. What were they looking at? It was the crop circles — large and complex designs set into the middle of ordinary farm field. No one could understand how these huge designs were made.Crop circles are found most often in fields of wheat, corn, or rice. They are usually created overnight, although some are reported to have appeared during the day. They have been seen all around the world, in more than 70 different countries. Scientists have found that the plants inside a crop circle are drier than the ones outside it. The plant stems (茎) are bent and not broken in most crop circles, and sometimes the soil in the design has more iron than the soil outside of the design. Unfortunately, these facts alone do not help scientists answer their questions about crop circles. These facts only make them more mysterious.Some people believe crop circles are made by UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) landing in farm fields. Others think aliens are leaving us messages in the beautiful designs. Still others believe Earth energy under the ground makes plants bend over in designs. Some people say they actually made the crop circles with special equipment. Scientists have found some crop circles that are certainly made by people, but they are usually a little different from other crop circles. So who makes crop circles and why they make them can't be explained to this very day. 【1】It's generally thought that crop circles _____.A.have very frightening designsB.happen in the same placesC.are found in terrible placesD.are made during the night【2】What happens to the paints inside the crop circles?A.They are broken.B.They die very soon.C.They are bent.D.They need little water.【3】Which of the following have the scientists proved?A.Earth energy is one reason for crop circles' appearance.B.UFOs help create some crop circles.C.There actually are crop circles made by aliens.D.Some crop circles are man-made.【4】What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Crop CirclesB.Different Designs of Crop CirclesC.Crop Circles: The Unsolved MysteryD.Crop Circles: The Great Influence on Farms4.We are all time travelers on a journey into the future. However, we are not tourists with guides who can tell us just what lies ahead. Instead, we are explorers in an unknown area.In our personal lives, we often feel the unknown in our future when we start college, take a new job, or open a business. We never can be sure what will happen to us. But the great explorers of the past would tell us that we have a better chance of succeeding if we prepare ourselves as well as possible.Though those explorers are not here to advise us personally, we have descriptions of their expeditions(探险), and from these we can draw the lessons they would have offered for our journey into the unknown future. Reading records of great expeditions, we notice that the explorers prepared very carefully for their journeys. Their success depended on having the right equipment, the right supplies, the right teammates, and the right training.So the first lesson of the great explorers is: Prepare for what you will face in the future. That may seem obvious, yet many people today see no point in preparing or even thinking about the future. “Let’s not worry about the future until we get there,” they say. The great explorers would have no use for such a person. Only a fool would imagine that problems will sit patiently waiting until we find a way to clear them up. However, problems may rush upon us at the worst possible moment, and our very survival can depend on how well we have prepared for them Good preparation can work for us today as we plan how to deal with what we have to face. The well –prepared student does well on exams; the well-prepared job hunter gets hired. Most of us may think we have learned this lesson long ago, but we often seem to forget.【1】Why were the great explorers able to succeed?A.They had much knowledge.B.They were extremely brave.C.They made careful preparations.D.They read stories about expeditions.【2】They under lined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to those who .A.respect great explorersB.like making expeditionsC.always worry about the futureD.refuse to prepare for the future【3】The author describes the fool to show that we should .A.avoid doing tasks with foolsB.be calm at the worst momentsC.get ready for possible problemsD.find ways to deal with problems【4】Many people today are likely to forget that .A.it is important to learn how to predict the futureB.good preparation may lead to a good futureC.hard-working students do well on examsD.a business needs well-prepared workers【5】The author expresses his opinion in the text .A.by using the examples of explorersB.by following the order of timeC.by presenting research findingsD.by introducing a practical method四、其他The National Health Service (NHS) 【1】(start) in 1948 to provide free health care for everyone. Before that, all doctors charged fees, so only those【2】could afford them got medical care. Today, the NHS is still free. Nobody has to pay when they go and see a doctor or when they need an operation【3】any other kind of hospital【4】(treat). It’s all paid for by taxes. However, there are lots of problems【5】the present system. People don’t like paying high【6】(tax) and so they often have to wait a long time before they get to see a doctor. Some people have to wait over a year【7】they can have an operation. Some things are charged for now, like prescriptions (处方), eye tests and dental checkups. Thousands of doctors and nurses leave every year, complaining that they do too much work but earn【8】(little) money than they deserve. Some people think【9】system should be changed. They would like everybody【10】(take) out health insurance and would like some parts of the service to be privatized.五、其他Over the years, the image I had of my father was formed from all the stories I had heard. He was 27 when he died. I was only a few months old. A single photograph of me in his arms is the only evidence I have that we ever met.When I was young, there was a children’s book called The Happy Family. Its image of the family was typical(典型的)of the time. Dad worked all day long at the office, Mom baked in the kitchen, and brother and sister always had friends sleeping over(再别人家里过夜). The family in the book looked nothing like my family, but, luckily, in the way my Aunt Marion read it to me, the story became highly entertaining.My aunt was the one who played baseball with me and went horseback riding with me. She helped me find my first job and asked her male friends at work to take me to the father-son dinners that marked the end of every sports seasons. When the time came, she convinced the elderly man next door to teach me how to shave(刮胡子).When I was 15, she gave me lessons on how to drive.Aunt Marion never got married. This meant that she was free to spend her spare time taking care of me.But being Aunt Marion, she didn’t and still doesn’t give herself much praise. Unless forced to stand in front in family photos, she’s always in the background, and she doesn’t think her efforts have made a difference. So every June for the past 40 years, with growing gratitude to my Aunt Marion, I’ve sent her a Father’s Day card.【1】Where did the author grow up?

Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.19.What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman?______A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.BThe iPhone the iPad:each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚).Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i"-and many other brands are following suit.The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-used the title in 2008.A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK一that plays music and vide is called "iTeddy".A slimmed-down version(简装本)of London's Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name "i".In general,single-letter prefixes(前缀)have been popular since the 1990s,when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.Most "i" products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's "i",it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter "i" Why not use "a","b",or "c" instead?According to Tony Thorne,head of the Language Center at King's College,London,"i"works because its meaning has becomc ambiguous.When Apple uses "i",no one knows whether it means Internet,information,individual or intcractive,Thorne told BBC Magazines."Even when Apple created the iPod,it seems it didn't have one clear definition," he says."However,thanks to Apple,the term is now connected with portability." adds Thorne.Clearly the letter "i" also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.Each person believes they have their own needs,and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with"Google" and "blog",readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows,people grow tired of fads.From the 1900s to 1990s,products with "2000" in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern.How ever,as we entered the new century,the fashion disappeared.20.People use iPlayer to ______ .A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers21.We can infer that the Independent's "i" is designed for ______ .A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers22.The underlined word "ambiguous" means " ______ ."A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique23.The writer suggests that ______ .A. "i" products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is a live bearC. the letter "b" replaces letter "i" to name the productsD. the popularity of "i" products may not last longCZoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations)consultant (顾问)and life was going well-she had a great job,a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London.Then one evening in June last year,she received a text message telling her she was out of work.The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through." she said."After everything I'd done for thecompany,they dismissed me by text!I was So angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job.I hated everything about the city and my life."Then,Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend,Kathy,to come and stay.Kathy and her husband,Huw,had just bought a farm in north-west Wales.Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London,and now,ten months later,she is still on the farm."The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm,I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe." Everything aboutmy past life suddenly seemed meaningless."Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets."It's a hard life,physically very tiring." she says."In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted.But this is a good,healthy tiredness.Here,all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm.Every day brings a new experience.Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor.Since Christmas,she has been helping with the lambing--watching a lamb being born is unbelievable,she says,"It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had.I could never go back to city life now."24.When working as a PR consultant in London,Zoe thought she lived a ______ life.A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring25.The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy's farm is that ______ .A. Zoe lost her job as a PR consultantB. Kathy persuaded her to do soC. Zoe got tired of the city lifeD. Zoe loved Wales mare than London26.How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?______A. Tiresome and troublesome.B. Romantic and peacefulC. Mentally exhausting but healthyD. Physically tiring but rewarding.27.Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?______A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Where there is a will,there is a way.C. A misfortune may turn out a blessing.D. Kill two birds with one stone.DMy grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States.The rest of his family remained in Europe.When World War I broke out,he seemed to have become another man,downhearted.Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare,but out of fear:if his only son,my uncle,had to go to war,it would be cousin fighting against cousin.One day in 1918,my Uncle Milton received his draft notice.My grandparents were very upset.But my mother,at the age of 10,felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off of war.Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends,my uncle bought them all service pins,which meant that they had a loved one in the service.All the little girls were delighted.The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers,without any training but all inuniforms,boarded the train."The band played and the crowd cheered.Although no one noticed,I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son.The train slowly pulled out,but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused.Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station.There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out.Someone shouted,"The war is over!"For a moment,nobody moved,but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers.The men lined up in two lines,walked down the steps,and with the band playing,marched down the street,as returning heroes,to be welcomed home.My mother said it was a great day,but she was just a little disappointed that it didn't last a tiny bit longer.28.What the grandfather was most worried about was ______ .A. the spread of the world warB. the safety of his two cousinsC. a drop in his living standardsD. his relatives killing each other29.. The underlined phrase "draft notice" means " ______ ".A. order for army serviceB. train ticket for Europe C,letter of rejection D.note of warning30.Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story______A. Disappointing.B. Unexpected.C. Uncertain.D. Inspiring.三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共20.0分)The party began shortly after nine.Mr.Wood,who lived in the flat(31),sighed to himself as he heard (32)voices and the noisy music.Luckily he had (33)some work home from the office,(34)he kept himself busy for two hours,thus managing to pay no attention to the noise(35).But by nine o'clock he felt tired and was ready to go to bed,though from his (36)experience he knew it was (37)trying to get to sleep.He undressed and lay for a while on the bed,trying to read,but he (38)himself reading the same page(39).He then turned off the light and (40) his head in the pillow.However,(41) he could not shut(42)the noise.It seemed to last hours.Finally,his (43)was gone.He jumped out of bed,(44)on some clothing,marched firmly up the (45) and walked into his neighbour's flat.The owner of the flat came (46)the room as soon as he saw Mr.Wood.(47)Mr.Wood could say anything,he cried,"My dear fellow,come and (48).I know our parties must interrupt you.I meant to send you (49)."
