Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhat’s the best way to protect a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer? Give the seedling bad breath!The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree’s roots absorb the selenium which is then carried to the leaves.From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl selenide (乙烷硒化物)-the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander around looking for food, they smell the seedlings’leaves and leave the plants alone.The selenium is important. Why? Because each year deer eat millions of dollars’worth of trees farm seedlings.So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers think they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.61. When people eat garlic, ________.A. they send out a horrible smellB. they are out of breathC. they will feel sickD. it is hard for them to breathe62. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leaves is that of ______.the young trees absorb garlicthe roots of the young trees smell like garlicthe young trees aren’t fit for the deer to eatthe leaves of the young trees smell like garlic64. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemical was used _______.A. all over the worldB. all over the United StatesC. on fruit trees and garden treesD. on Douglas fir young trees65. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Hungry Deer and Young TreesB. Why Don’t Deer Eat Young Fruit TreesC. Plants Saved by “Bad Breath”D. How to Protect Young TreesPassage TwoHair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern.Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.66. According to science, _________.hair loss is a normal, healthy signman should pay special attention to hair lossit’s likely that men have more problems of hair lossmen lose more hair than women do67. The writer thinks _______.illness causes hair losshuman beings have no way to cure hair losshair loss happening in the fall is an effect of illnesshair loss is permanent68. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is ________.A. permanentB. healthy signC. seasonalD. nothing serious69. The sentence “This, however, is not the end of the world”means _______.man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the futurethe writer believes the earth exists for everwe can’t destroy the world by any meansthe last day will never come to our people70. The best title for the passage may be ________.A. Loss or GrowthB. Hair LossC. Healthy SignD. Change with SeasonsPassage ThreeOn the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake shook Boston, Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. “I rose,”Winthrop wrote,“and lighting a candle, looked on my watch, and found it was 15 minutes after four.”John Winthrop went downstairs to the grandfather clock. It had stopped four minutes before, at 4:11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel (壁炉台) to the floor.The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum (钟摆). Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of the quake’s motion (运动) by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada.71. The text proves that _______.the power of nature is terribleearthquakes happen most often during nighttime hoursthe direction of an earthquake can be discovereduniversities study the cause of earthquakes72. The text suggests that _________.A. Boston was badly destroyedB. earthquakes are common in BostonC. John Winthrop had difficulty sleepingD. John Winthrop was a scientist73. Which of the following is true?________.Some tubes were broken into pieces and stopped the old clockThe professor lit a candle because of power failureBoston is in the southeast of CanadaThe shocks were slight in one way74. The earthquake happened ________.A. several minutes before the professor awokeB. and the professor awoke at 4:15C. in the centre of BostonD. when John Winthrop felt it75. Choose the right order according to the text.a. The bed was shaking and John Winthrop awoke.b. John Winthrop looked attentively at this watch.c. John Winthrop got up to light a candle.d. The earthquake happened in Boston in 1755.e. John Winthrop knew the quake’s direction.f. John Winthrop knew the exact quake’s time.g. John Winthrop looked at the key on the floor.A. g, d, e, a, c, b, fB. d, a, c, b, f, g, eC. a, e, d, c, b, f, gD. e, d, g, b, c, a, fPassage FourOceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”. Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?”had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depthprofile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.76. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on ________.A. an academic aspectB. a military aspectC. a business aspectD. an international aspect77. It was ________ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A. the American NavyB. some early intercontinental travelersC. those who earned a living from the seaD. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable78. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _______.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansto collect samples of sea plants and animalsto estimate the length of cable that was neededto measure the depths of the two oceans79. “Defied”in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”.A. doubtedB. gave proof toC. challengedD. agreed to80. This passage is mainly about _______.A. the beginnings of oceanographyB. the laying of the first undersea cableC. the investigation of ocean depthsD. the early intercontinental communicationsⅤ.

It’s real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you’re trying a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you’re typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that if you’re replying to a message and the person you’re replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an email conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn’t yet connected to other communication system, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowed like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people don’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it’s one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don’t like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mail.C. It allows you to send more e-mail at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because _______ .A. people cannot find practical users for it.B. it will be a challenge to regular mailC. the technology it needs it more complicatedD. many people doo not understand how it works.38. We know from the last paragraph that _________ .A. Wave is a basic for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angle.C. most internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author’s attitude toward Wave?A. OptimisticB. IndifferentC. PessimisticD. Critical36. B 37. C 38. B 39.APassage TwoIn 2000, with little but a bar and a church left to make it a destination, tiny St. James, Nebraska, was taken off state highway maps. Then the church closed, and the small farm village in the state’s northeast corner looked set to just disappear. Thanks to five devote women, it didn’t.In May 2001, after meeting with staff from the Center for Rural Affairs, the friends—Louise Guy, Vicky Koch, Jeanette Pinkelman, Mary Rose Pinkelman and Violet Pinkelman—opened a weekend market for vendors (小商贩) sell handcrafts and local food.“We felt like, what can we do to bring the community together?”says Mary Rose Pinkelman. “We decided to make a place to sell local goods.”They set up shop in the church school, which though closed for nearly 40 years, had been well maintained. The first weekend, 16 vendors took over an old classroom. The result was an instant hit. Today, the market draws up to 70 vendors—who sell such items as homemade jellies, baked goods, hand-woven rugs, and farm-grown produce—and what Pinkelman calls an unexpected number of visitors. In the process, the market has made St. James a destination again, putting it back on the state road map.40. According to Paragraph 1, what fate was St. James, Nebraska suffering?A. The replacement of the church school.B. The disappearance from highway maps.C. The closedown of the bar.D. The set-up of a market.41. St. James in this passage is _________.A. a small villageB. a little farmC. a tiny cityD. a little town42. What does the underlined phrase “an instant hit”(Paragraph 3) mean?A. A fast blow.B. A sudden beat.C. A big strike.D. A quick success.43. St. James has been put back to the road map due to_________.A. the efforts of five womenB. the efforts of the Center for Rural AffairsC. the vendors in the local placeD. the unexpected number of visitors40. B 41. A 42. D 43. APassage ThreeIf you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brain are not getting enough exercise and as a result , we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers is northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations .Computer technology enable him to obtain precise measurements of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts –as cells die off –was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still no evident in some sixty–and seventy-year-olds.Faulkner concluded show that there is a simple way to slow the contraction – using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Mood must circulate properly in the head to supply t he fresh oxygen the brain cells need. ―the best way to maintain goodblood circulation is through using the brain,‖ he says, ―Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.‖44. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out ________.A. how people’s brains shrinkB. the way of making people live longerC. the size of certain people ’s brainsD. why certain people aged sooner than others45. Faulkner’s research findings are based on ________.A. a survey of farmers in northern JapanB. tests performed on a thousand old peopleC. the study of brain volumes of different peopleD. the latest development of computer technology46. The professor’s tests show that _________.A. our brains shrink as we grow oldB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. seventy –year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-oldsD. brain contraction may vary among people of the same age47. The underlined word ―subjects‖ in paragraph 5means________.A. branches of knowledge studied in a schoolB. something to be consideredC. persons experimented ond. citizens in a countryKEYS: D C D CPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child.

Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.。

They looked very angry.Calmly Mr. Ingram said，"Well，I see you want to buy some watermelons."There was a long silence before the man answered，"Yeah，I guess so. What are you getting for them?""Twenty-five cents each.""Well. I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of herIt turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer，and an unpleasant，perhaps unfortunate，incident had been preventeD. After they left，Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me，"Son，if you don't forgive(原谅)your enemies，you're going to run out of friends."

A Japanese businessman，for example，thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so he asked me to marry him and the woman he loveD. There was one time，however，we did help out.

Conversation in our house is better now ，not because I'm talking more.I ’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36 题单选 According to the passage ，the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案：D37 题单选 What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear whatI just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn ’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn ’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A38 题单选 What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案：C39 题单选 What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn ’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut( 椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of thelargest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also makeit unique in the seed world —it consists of both “meat“and “water ”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are allfamiliar ，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese( 葡萄牙的) explorers gavethe nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco ，meaning “ghost ”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts remindedthem of a ghost ’s face ，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oilsfor fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.Thecoconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates ，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used bymanufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has manyuses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only someof the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree ，which produces the nut ，also produces manyuseful things.It ’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life ”.40 题单选 What does the underlined word“edible ’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D41 题单选 The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案：C42 题单选 What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案：B43 题单选 What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose“Homestay”accommodation whenthey study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statisticsshowthat it ’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay meansliving with a family ，or “host family ”as we say.Thereare three ways of doing it ：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location ：have your English classes in the housewith a memberof the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit ——a popular choice if you want to do thetourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange theHomestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement( 安置)organizations think aboutlocation ，interests ，language level ，eating requirements ，allergies ( 过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs ，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may becharged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near thecity center.Even if you stay further out ，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money ，italso gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak asmuch English as possible. But if you plan to learn English ，why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this —the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44 题单选 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C45 题单选 Who will consider students ’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案：B46 题单选 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students ’language level.D.Students ’specific needs.参考答案：D47 题单选 What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think ，saving you moneywhile creating a heathier ，more comfortable living spacefor you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact onyour energy bill ， your comfort and the environment. Here are somehandytips to makeyour house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating ，lowering the room temperature evenslightly can makea difference. You maynot feel it ，but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times ofthe day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it ，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. Whileclothes dryers get the job done faster ，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you ’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about threekilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can helpyou make use of sunlight ’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summerdays，install blinds( 百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window ，then you don ’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot —water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances( 家用电器)Whenthe time comes to replace appliances ，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don ’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48 题单选 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A49 题单选 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hangingclothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B50 题单选 What can be installed on the northern side of your house tomake better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C51 题单选 Besides energy-efficiency ，what else should be consideredwhen replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered ，there is a Stepmother ’s Day，though it isnot on any official holiday calendar.So ，it would be safe to assumethat there is a similar day for stepdads ，too.Right? Well ，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought upposts that say ，for example ，“It ’s on father ’s day--father ’s day is for fathers ，step —fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it ’s a day for making father figures feel special. ”Further searching found a Stepfather ’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather ’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June. ”Unfortunately ，as of the publishing of this article ，only 30 people have “liked ”the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1%of U.S.fathers ，live with at least one stepchild ，that ’s only a drop in the ocean.It ’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents ’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! Whilegrandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children ’s lives ，they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders ，the ones whohave to endure the hurtful “You’re not mydad! ”or “You’re not my mom! ”And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung( 未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official ”days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obam，a whohad a stepfather himself ，will sign into law National Stepmother ’s Day and National Stepfather ’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it wouldbe if we could make this happen!52 题单选 What does the underlined word“that ’’in Paragraph 1 referto?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather ’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案：B53 题单选 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents ’Day.B.The National Grandchildren ’s Day.C.The National Stepparents ’Day.D.The National Stepchildren ’s Day.参考答案：A54 题单选 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent ”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.。

It can 21 on both our physical and mental health and can lead to other health 22 .Insomnia can be traced to many different reasons, but what is 23 to many sufferers is their inability to relax fully and “switch the mind 24 ”.Constant thoughts, 25 around and around in the mind, moving from one 26 to the next, prevent stillness and peace and 27 a sufferer extremely tired.In order to treat insomnia 28 , it is first necessary to allow a sufferer to re-experience 29 real relaxati on feels like.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions.

Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAlexia Sloane, a 10-years-old girl, lost her sight when she was two following a brain disease .But despite her disability she has excelled at languages and is already fluent in English, French, Spanish and Chinese-and is learning German.Now she has experienced her dream job of working as an interpreter after East of England MEP (欧盟议员) Robert Sturdy invited her to the parliament in Brussels, thus becoming the youngest interpreter to work at the European Parliament.“She was given a special permit to get into the building, where there is usually a minimum age requirement of 14, and sat in a booth listening and interpreting,”said her mother ,Isabelle, “The other interpreters were amazed at how well she did as he debate was quite complicated and many of the words were rather technical.”Alexia has been tri-lingual since birth as her mother, as her mother, a teacher, is half French and half Spanish, while her father, Richard, is English. She started talking and communicating in all three languages before she lost her sight but adapted quickly to her blindness. By the age of four, she was reading and writing in the Braille (盲文). When she was six, Alexia began to learn Chinese. The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.Alexia has been longing to be an interpreter since she was six and she chose to go to the European Parliament as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award. She asked if she could shadow interpreters and Mr. Sturdy agreed to take her along as his guest.Alexia worked with the head of interpreting and had a real taster of life in parliament. “It was fantastic and I’m absolutely determined now to become an interpreter,” she said.36. What does the passage tell about Alexia Sloane?A. She is very proud of her parents.B. She has learned five foreign languages.C. She is a quick learner of languages.D. She has difficulties with language learning.37. Why did Alexia need special permitting to enter the parliamentbuilding?A. She was not in a state of good health.B. She could not afford the admission fees.C. She did not meet the age requirement.D. She did not have an adult to accompany her.38. What did Alexia want to do after she got the award?A. To travel to other European countries.B. To visit the European Parliament.C. To apply for a position in the government.D. To study German at Cambridge University.39. The tone of the passage can be best described as ______.A. criticalB. admiringC. understandingD. doubtfulPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,”said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate (不充分的), and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.”40. Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?A. The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.B. Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C. 8.8 million people got involved in a study on eating habits.D. A company carried out a research in 1983.A. Having breakfast does not improve work, either.B. Giving people breakfast improves work.C. Going without breakfast can improve work, too.D. Having breakfast does improve work.42. What does the word “literature” in the last sentence refer to?A. Modern American literature.B. Any printed materials.C. Written works on a subject.D. Stories, poems and plays.43. Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer’sconclusion about the function of breakfast?A. Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B. Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C. Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support ofbreakfast.D. There isn’t strong evidence to prove that breakfast is a must.person.48. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. People from a mobile society dislike talking about personalaffairs.B. Short-term relationships are common in a mobile society.C. Americans tend to make more friends than people from othercultures.D. It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicatewith strangers.49. Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according tothe passage?A. Those who talk a lot about themselves.B. Those who they know well enough.C. Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D. Those who want to do business with them.50. Which of the following is true about the rules in “particular”societies?A. They change to fit different situations.B. People respect and obey them completely.C. They don’t exist.D. No one obeys them.51. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Polite behavior varies with different cultures.B. Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C. People from mobile societies are more polite.D. Cultural differences are important.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet (1840-1926) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin, who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the Académie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria (阿尔及利亚). He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In 1870, Monet married Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prussian war, they moved to London. Back to France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河) which drew many other Impressionist painters. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In 1872, he visited Le Havre where he painted “An Impression, Sunrise”.When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in 1879, and he set up home with Alice Hoschedé, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列) of pictures of one subject, including “Haystacks”, “Rouen Cathedral”and “Waterlilies”, The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on. He painted them over and over again, most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52. Monet was introduced to art ______.A. by an artist in his childhoodB. by his father in Le HavreC. during his short stay in AlgeriaD. during his visit to Paris53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Impressionism was born in London.B. Monet was one of the sponsors of Impressionism.C. Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impressionists.D. Impressionist paintings are mainly based on nature.54. What is said about the painting “An Impression, Sunrise”?A. It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B. It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C. It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.D. It was the origin of the name “Impressionism”.55. What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890?A. He painted only for a museum in Paris.B. He devoted himself to travelling overseas.C. He was influenced by Alice in his painting style.D. He focused on paintings of a particular theme.V.
