(30 points)Section A：Passage OneWant increase your vocabulary? Here are five tried-and-true methods.1. Pay attention to context (上下文).When you come across an unfamiliar word, try to figure out its meaning by using hints (暗示) from other words or visuals (画面). For example, when an ad for a food processor (加工器) promises that it will help you prepare “a sumptuous family breakfast, including eggs, fruit, pastries (各式糕点), and more,” you can infer (推断) that sumptuous means “lavish” (丰盛的) or “magnificent” (极好的). The words, along with the photo that may accompany the ad, can help you guess the meaning.2. Learn a new word daily.Each day, pick a word from the dictionary and try to use it as often as possible. Realize you’ve forgotten your best friend’s birthday? Just exclaim (大声说出), “How gauche (笨拙) of me!” You’ll make much more of an impression (印象) than if you just say “thoughtless” (粗心的).3. Associate (把…跟…联系起来) new words with people or places.One way to learn something new is to associate something you don’t know with something you do. Let’s say you learn that urbane (温文尔雅的) means “elegant” (高雅的) or “refined” (有教养的). Associate that new word with someone who is like that — perhaps your English teacher. Then, whenever you read “urbane” again, your teacher’s face will pop (突然出现) into your head, and you’ll remember the word’s meaning.4. Listen to good vocabulary sources.Hearing words used correctly will help you learn their denotations (本义) (dictionary definitions (定义)) and connotations (转意) (implied meanings). Keep your ears open —especially to respectable sources. Listen to National Public Radio occasionally instead of pop music stations. Watch TV shows that feature (由…担纲) articulate (口才好的) people discussingcurrent events (时事) or comedies (喜剧) that use clever wordplay (俏皮话). Learn new words as you enjoy leisure (闲暇的) activities.5. Become an active reader.Well written magazines such as Time （《时代》）or The Smithsonian （《史密森》杂志）can provide painless (无痛的) vocabulary lessons as you wait in the dentist’s (牙医的) office.Outstanding fiction (小说) and nonfiction (非小说) are as close as your local library. As you read, no tice the words that authors use: When you come upon one you don’t know and can’t figure out from context, look it up.It’s fun to make note of an author’s “favorite” words. For example, you’ll come across furtive (偷偷摸摸的) at least a dozen times in Mark Tw ain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (《汤姆·索亚历险记》). Do you know what it means?To monitor (检测) your progress, keep a notebook of new words you acquire (学到). By the end of the year, you’ll be surprised at how many words you’ve learned. Review the list regu larly to refresh your memory (加深记忆), put a star by favorite words, and use them often!46. While reading, it is possible to know the meaning of a word __________.A. from its contextB. by studying some advertisementsC. from notes given by the writerD. by talking to someone at breakfast47.

This world is controlled by computers. Men and women canbe seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over(取代) by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar（熟悉）? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear or something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts（账户）are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by computers. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t know what they might do next.But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才) who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computers and search for new tasks for their machines.51We can know that he scientists who designed the machines___________A.are careless in their daily life.B.are unkind and cruelC.are out of their mindD.have great abilities52.The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that____________A.they don’t know anything about computersB.they haven’t really understood computersC.there are so many computer gamesputers are often down53.The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that___________A. computers can be controlled by manB. there should be more people devoted to computersC. only young people are interested in computersD. more time and energy is required to control computers54.This passage is probably written to suggest that _____________A. some day computers can deal with all human problemsB. computers can be used in places for traveling to our jobsC. people should not be afraid of computersD. computer technology will not meet people’s needs in various situations55.The author’s attitude towards widely used computers is_______________A. positiveB. anxiousC. worried D curiousSection B (2×5＝10 points)Directions: Read the announcement and write down the answers that follow the questions briefly.During the summer holidays there will be a changed schedule of services for the students.
