You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneMost of my friends speak several languages. My friend Hans Kimmel, for example, speaks three languages—German, French and English. And my friend Pavlov speaks four languages— Russian, French, Spanish and English. Then there is Charles Zhou. His native language is Chinese, but he speaks three or four other languages fluently. I do not understand it. They speak, read and write all those languages, and I only know one language—English. Why can’t I speak any foreign languages? Am I stupid to learn a foreign language?Maybe it is all a question of home and environment. My parents do not speak any other languages, so of course we speak English at home. But look at Hans. His father is German and his mother is French. So he speaks two languages at home. And look at John’s family. His father is Russian and his mother is Spanish. So they speak two languages at home.Perhaps it is a question of geography, too. I live in the United States, and I can travel hundreds of miles with only one language— English. But it is different for Hans in Europe. He lives in Germany, but in a few hours he can travel to France, or to Italy, or to Holland, or to Denmark. So of course he hears other languages all the time. And he needs other languages.I am studying Italian this term at the university, but I am not learning very much Italian. I can not practice it at home or in restaurants or in stores. I only speak it three hours each week in the classroom. That’s al l. The rest of the time I speak English. Maybe I should go to Italy for a few months. Then perhaps I could really learn Italian.36. Who can speak French, German and English?A) The author himself. B) Hans Kimmel.C) Charles. D) John.37. The person whose mother tongue is Chinese is _________.A) a friend of Zhou’s B) PavlovC) Zhou D) Hans38. According to the writer’s opinion, the reason why he can not speak other languages is that _________.A) he is stupidB) he is not good at learning languagesC) he is not interested in learning languagesD) he lives in an English-speaking country and his parents don’t speak any other lang uages except English39. The writer thinks that if a person wants to learn a foreign language well, he should _________.A) study hard B) go to ItalyC) have a good language situation D) be clever and good at learning languages40. The writer’s native language is _________.A) Russian B) Italian C) English D) GermanPassage TwoAmerican Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revolution. To them, however, the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral. For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence, and whichever side they chose they lost it. Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois. She was a Mohawk, the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons, and the widow (寡妇) of Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Her brother, Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior (战士) of the Revolution, yet she may have exerted even more influence in the Confederacy than he did. She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king, George III. When the colonists won the war, she and her tribe had to abandon their lands and retreat to Canada. On the other side, Nacy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation. She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Greeks and as a reward for her heroism was made “Beloved Woman” of the tribe. This office made her chief of the women’s council and a member of the council of chiefs. She was friendly with the White settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution. Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.41. What is the main point the author makes in the passage?A) Siding with the English in the Revolution helped American Indians regain their land.B) At the time of the Revolution, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had little power.C) Regardless of whom they supported in the Revolution, American Indians lost their land.D) The outcome of the Revolution was largely determined by American Indian women.42. The italicized word “it” in the passage refers to ________.A) sideB) revolutionC) disputeD) independence43. Accord ing to the passage, Mary Brant’s husband had been a ________.A) government officialB) Mohawk chiefC) revolutionary heroD) Cherokee council member44. The italicized word “he” in the passage could be replaced by “________”.A) Sir William JohnsonB) the Superintendent of Indian AffairsC) Joseph BrantD) George III45. To which tribe did Nancy Ward belong?A) Mohawk.B) Iroquois.C) Cherokee.D) Greek.Passage ThreeIn 1801, Thomas Jefferson was the first president to take the oath of office in the nation’s permanent capital, Washington D.C. Although Washington was a new city, it was already familiar to President Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had helped plan the c apital’s streets and public buildings. Besides being a city planner and architect, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several tools.Jefferson lived in the Presidential Palace. The Palace was more than a home; it contained offices for the President and some of his staff and advisors. It also included dining and reception rooms, where the President could entertain congressmen. However, President Jefferson did not give many formal parties. This was partly because there was no First Lady. Jefferson’s wife had died in 1782. But it was also because Jefferson liked to live in a simple fashion. Once, he showed up for an important meeting wearing old clothes and slippers! Neither Washington nor Adams would ever have dressed so casually.Jefferson was different from the first two Presidents in other ways, too. He disagreed with them about how the country should be run, and about what part a President should play in running it.46. According to the passage, the Presidential Palace was built to be ________.A) an office building and homeB) a meeting place for congressmenC) a homeD) an office building47. According to the passage, Thomas Jefferson was all of the following except ________.A) a writerB) a city plannerC) the third president of the United StatesD) a carpenter48. Thomas Jefferson did not entertain very often in Washington D.C. because ________.A) he did not have new clothesB) the food there was badC) he did not enjoy carefully prepared parties and there was no First LadyD) his wife did not like it49. Which of the following statements about Washington D.C. is TRUE?A) It was not the first capital of the United States.B) All the American presidents took the oath of office in Washington D.C.C) There were many old streets in Washington D.C. before 1801.D) Washington D.C. was planned by Thomas Jefferson.50. It can be inferred from the passage that George Washington and John Adams both ________.A) lived in the Presidential PalaceB) were rather formal gentlemenC) were different from Thomas Jefferson only in how to run the countryD) dressed casuallyPassage FourHigh above the bustling streets, honking taxicabs and crowded sidewalks, on the 24th floor of the landmark Empire State Building, is a month-old company offering New Yorkers a 20-minute nap... New York is called the city that never sleeps, but one small company wants that to change. Stressed-out customers arrive in a quiet, darkened room filled with futuristic (未来派的) chairs, or “napping pods,” where they can pay $14 (￡7.50) for their snooze. “MetroNaps is a place where busy New Yorkers get power nap in New York City,” says co-founder Arshad Chowdhury.White noise machines block out whispered conversation at the front desk. Sleepers stretch out in the leaning seats, which resemble plush dentists’ chairs, with blankets covering their legs and music piped into headphones. After 20 minutes, the sleeping pod wakes up the customer with a combination of vibrations and light.Chowdhury said nappers are encouraged to sleep just 20 minutes because a longer session tends to leave them more dazed than refreshed. Abdul Latif, a Broadway singer and dancer who likes to rest between an audition and a performance, said it was better to pay for a nap than to sit at a coffee shop. Another MetroNaps customer, writer and researcher Ben Stiller, said he needs that d aily nap. “This is what energizes me, this is what keeps me going,” he said.51. What is this passage about?A) The importance of taking a nap.B) How to have a good nap.C) A company that helps people take a nap.D) How to fall asleep in Empire State Building52. What does “snooze” in Para. 1 probably mean?A) Daydream.B) A short stay.C) Short-time sleep.D) A long break.53. What do you know about the nappers’ room?A) Sleepers lie in soft beds.B) Sleepers are covered with blanket from head to foot.C) It’s absolutely quiet in the room.D) Sleepers fall asleep with music in their ears.54. Nappers should sleep no more than 20 minutes because ________.A) it’s already very expensive for a 20-minute napB) you shouldn’t keep other p eople waiting too longC) napping too long makes them dazedD) napping too long is a waste of time55. How do some nappers think of the napping service?A) They think they would rather sit in a coffee shop.B) They don’t think they feel refreshed a fter taking a nap there.C) They don’t think they need that kind of napping.D) They feel energized after taking a nap.Part IV Translation ( 2 points×5=10 points )56. 他的表情说明他对周围正在发生的事情一无所知。

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a singer line through the centre.Passage 1Anthropology(人类学）is the study of how people live. It includes their family life, religion, laws and language. The term “anthropology”comes from two Greek words:“anthropos” means “human being”and “logy”means “the science of”. Anthropology can be divided into two areas. These two main divisions are cultural anthropology and physical anthropology.Anthropologists define human progress in three main steps. Step one begins with the first human being and continues until the last of people who hunted animals just to survive .Step two includes people who grew food. In this step, there was progress in invention and religion. Step three deals with first civilization, such as those in Egypt and parts of Asia. Anthropologists always seek new information about people .For instance, recent evidence found in Ethiopia and Kenya shows humans earlier in history than it was previously believed.41.According to the passage, anthropology is study of________A. family life, religion and artB. the differences between science and artsC. human beingsD. different cultures42.Which of the following belongs to the second step of human progress?A. Progress was made in religion and inventionB. Humans hunted animals just to surviveC. The first civilization came into being.D. People started to learn science and arts43.Which of the following statements is TURE?A. Furniture and movies belong to physical anthropology.B. Anthropologists are still trying to get new findings about people.C. The study of human beings began in Egypt and part of Asia.D. The first civilization appeared only in Egypt and part of Asia.44.According to the passage, what have anthropologists recently found?A. There are cultural anthropology and physical anthropology.B. There are three step in the progress of human beings.D. There is a longer history of human beings than it was thought before.45.Which could be the best title for the passage?A. AnthropologyB. The Progress of Human BeingsC. The CivilizationsD. The Study of AnthropologistsPassage 2The legal limit for driving after drinking is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood in the U.S. When tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, sex, and the sort of drinks you have had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you're below the legal limit, you can still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you are still over the legal limit. In addition, if you have had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive through a set of moveable posts in the driving test... and the less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure you're safe is not to drink at all.Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young people. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.It is important to remember that driving after drinking doesn't just affect you. If you are involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, at least the person you might kill or injure.46.The amount of alcohol one can drink before reaching the legal limit________.A. is 80 milligrams of pure alcoholB. is bout three standard drinksC. is different for different people C. is not related to one’s body weight47.When might you be taken to court by the police for drinking and driving?A. When you have driven a vehicle after drinking any alcohol at all.B. When you have had at least three drinks before driving.C. Only when you tests show that you have 80 milligrams of alcohol at all.D. When the police think that you r driving is affected by alcohol.48.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TURE?A. When you have been drinking heavily in the evening, you might be still over the legal limit the next morning.B. The more alcoholic drinks the drivers have had, the more likely they are to pass the driving test.C. If you have had a standard drink, you may drive an hour later.D. If you want to drive safely, you had better not drink at all.49.Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents in that________.A. most drivers who die in these accidents have been drinkingB. more young people die in drink-related accidents than in any other wayC. drinking affects people’s blood alcohol concentrationD. one in three drivers drink heavily50.What does this article urge you to remember about driving after drinking?A. You may be taken to court by the police.B. You may put yourself in danger.C. You may find your driving ability affected.D. You may put many other people at risk.Passage 3On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with some money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went her handbag some money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursday. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone. At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she was wondering whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door—“a master key ”perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that, dressed as usual, she went out at her usual time, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly toward the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettleand poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.51.Mrs. Clarke looked forward to Thursday because__________.A．she worked at a club on the day B．she lived aloneC．she visited a club on Thursdays D．a special visitor came on Thursday Clarke52.If someone had made a forced entry,________.A．Mrs. Clarke would have found a broken door or windowB．he or she was still be in the houseC．things would have been thrown aboutD．he or she would have needed a master key53.On the third Thursday, Mrs. Clarke left home________.A. to go to the club as usualB. to see if the thief was hanging about outsideC. to report the break-in to the policeD. to trick the thief54.The lock on the front door was one which________.A. could not be opened through the letter-boxB. could be opened with a long piece of wireC. could not be opened without a keyD. could be opened by using a knob instead of a key55.The wire fell to the floor because________.A. Mrs. Clarke refused to open the door B．The thief’s glove dropped offC．it was too hot to hold D．the thief just wanted to get awayPassage 4No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the number is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towardsthem.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.56. The first paragraph points out that________.A. there are many disabled people in the worldB. the number of disabled people in India is the biggestC. India has many more disabled people than CanadaD. it is easy to get an exact number of the world's disabled people57.The last paragraph focuses on_________.A. disabilityB. ignoranceC. is includedD. is numbered58.

Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.B. There are about 10 percent disabled people in the United Kingdom.C. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by disabled people.F. There still exits prejudice against the disabled that is easy to break down.60. It can be concluded from the passage that________.A. we should try our best to prevent disabilityB. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downC. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledD. the able-bodied people will fully understand the disabledPart III Cloze Test(20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to find out what to do. Finally, he decided it just wasn’t worth saving because the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway.He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each held a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first the donkey cried loudly when he realized what was happening. Then, a few shovelfuls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer looked down into the well, and was greatly surprised by what he saw. With every shovelful of dirt at his back, the donkey wouldshake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, to the great surprise of everyone, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and walked off fast.Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The good way of getting out of the well is to stop crying, and not to let the dirt bury you, but to shake it off and take a step up. Each one of our troubles is a stepping stone.

Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 As we recently discovered, there is a Stepmother's Day, though it is not on any official holiday calendar. So, it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads, too. Right? Well, it depends on what you read. A Google search brought up posts 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 1978. Law! While grandparents 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 who have to endure the hurtful"You're not my dad!"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 Obama,who had 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 would be if we could make this happen!21 What does the underlined word" that" in Paragraph 1 refer to?（A）11. 1% of U.

Statistics show that it's a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family, or "host family" as we say. There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of 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 the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements. Placement (安置 ) organizations think about location, 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 be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre. Even if you stay further out, you can expect your journey into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practise English with your host family. This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much 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 !25 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who______.（A）want to learn statistics（B）plan to study overseas（C）plan to visit relatives（D）want to stay at home26 Who will consider students' requirements before their Homestay starts?（A）The language school.（B）The host family.（C）The English teacher.（D）The placement organization.27 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?（A）Students' specific needs.（B）Students' language level.（C）Nationality of the host family.（D）Eating habits of the host family.28 What can be inferred from the passage?（A）The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.（B）The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.（C）The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.（D）The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.28 Using less energy around the home is easier than you might think, saving your money while creating a healthier, more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and theenvironment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating, lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it, but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the 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. While clothes dryers get the job done faster, they also use up energy. By hanging your clothes out you'll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load. Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight's natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days, 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 water accounts 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)When the 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.29 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?（A）Enlarging your living space.（B）Keeping old habits unchanged.（C）Having a healthier living environment.（D）Improving your work efficiency.30 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?（A）It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.（B）It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.（C）It may help to build a greenhouse.（D）It helps remove bacteria in clothes.31 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?（A）Shades.（B）Windows.（C）Blinds.（D）Curtains.32 Besides energy-efficiency, what else should be considered when replacing appliances? （A）Proper size.（B）Good quality.（C）Replacing time.（D）Reasonable price.32 I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in news-papers. I've been married for years, but until six months ago, I couldbe a typical absent-minded husband. Often I was just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, " Did you even hear what I just said?"I would defensively say, " Of course I did!"In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeksof my recovery.Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two—year—old son looked puzzled because I wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't. Luckily, I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.When I got home, I noriced a"side effect" : as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn't just hearing her: I was listening to her. Over the next few weeks, I didn't want to miss a word she said. I began to hear sweetness in her voice. It had never left. I'd just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previouslydismissed as" things I just don't get as a guy". I also realized my son wasn't just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks, I was fully recovered. 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.33 According to the passage, the author is most likely a______.（A）journalist（B）doctor（C）driver（D）teacher34 What does the wife mean by asking" Did you even hear what I just said?" in Paragraph 1 ?（A）You didn't have to nod while you were listening.（B）You should tell me what I said iust now.（C）You should listen to me.（D）You didn't want to talk with me.35 What is true of the author after the surgery?（A）He was unwilling to talk to his wife.（B）He was unable to communicate with his son.（C）He was required to keep silent for the first few months.（D）He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.36 What did the author realize after the surgery?（A）His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.（B）His son didn't like talking.（C）His wife was a talkative woman.（D）His house was full of pleasant talks.36 Coconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons. It is one of the largestedible seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both" meat" and" water" inside. The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings: the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese (葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco , meaning" ghost" in their language. The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them 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 oils for fast-food restaurants around the world to make diet materials. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage fight off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks. Even the shell itself has many uses, including animal food and fertilizer.Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food. Coconut oil is used for cosmetics(化妆品) , medicines, and so on. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool for shining wood floors. The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird houses.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut tree, which produces the nut, also produces many useful things. It's no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as"the tree of life".37 What does the underlined word "edible "in Paragraph 1 mean?（A）Eatable.（B）Available.（C）Visible.（D）Collectible.38 The coconut got its name because of______. （A）its round shape（B）its ghostlike appearance（C）its hard shell（D）its white color39 What is the passage mainly about?（A）Types of coconut seeds.（B）The discovery of coconut.（C）The history of coconut.（D）Uses of coconut.40 What can be learned from the passage? （A）Coconut fluid can become fertilizer. （B）Coconut trunks are houses for birds. （C）Coconut trees are useful plants.（D）Coconut oil is rare and expensive.四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.

Each passage is followedby some statements and questions. You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneWhen you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelopeor on the card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Who was the first to thinkof this idea?In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage when they received letters. Sometimes they didn’t want to receive a letterat all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to get the postage.Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in England. He was the first to think of using stamps in the 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. They could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before theysent the letters. The post office could just put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.1. People began to use stamps at the beginning of the nineteenth century. AA. TrueB. False2. Before stamps were used, postage was paid by the letter-receivers. CA. TrueB. False3. Rowland Hill ___________. DA. bought the first stampB. was a postman in EnglandC. gave the idea to use stampsD. was the first man to use stamps4. After stamps were used, ___________. BA. postmen needn’t get postageB. people needn’t pay postageC. the post office could get more postageD. people should pay more postage5. What is the main idea of the passage? BA. How did stamps begin to be used?B. Why were postmen sent to get postage?C. When did people first begin to use stamps?D. Who was the first to think of using stamps?Passage TwoI don’t often lose things and I’m especially careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet and it wasn’t there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant.I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting. Unfortunately, there were several people sitting at the table at the time, so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier.I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the manager of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anything was wrong. I didn’t want to get a lot of people involved in the problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back. I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report the missing wallet to the police. I told him that I didn’t particularly want to get the police involved in it; besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes ... I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay the check. He told me not to worry about that. He had me write down my name and address, and he said he would send me a bill.6. When he walked back to the table, the writer asked the people at the table abouthis wallet. DA. TrueB. False7. The manager came up pretty soon to see what had happened. CA. TrueB. False8. Why was the writer so sure he had brought his wallet with him? BA. He remembered that he didn’t leave it at home.B. He always felt his pocket for the wallet before he left home.C. He believed his own memory.D. He had taken it out to pay the taxi-driver.9.

Why did the writer walk back to the table where he had been sitting? CA. He was sure his wallet was still there.B. It was possible that he could find his wallet there.C. He could ask someone there about his wallet.D. He saw the wallet lying on the floor near the table.Passage ThreeWhen we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good scoreon a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. These are atbest only indicators of something larger, deeper, and far more important. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. Thetrue test of intelligence is not how much we know what to do, but how we behave whenwe don’t know what to do.The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can aboutit. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happento him. He grapples (努力克服) with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully (机智地), and if not confidently, at least hopefully: if he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life, and one’s selfwith respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, arising out of entirely different set of attitudes.Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright childis curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, embrace (捉住机会) it, unite himself with it. There is no wall; no barrier, between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interestedin what goes on and what is real, more inclined (倾向于) to live in a world of fantasy.The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim (格言) that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through.Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly an adult in a thousand, or ten thousand, could in any three years of his life learn as much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every infant (婴儿) learns and grows in his first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth? What happens is that it is destroyed, and more than by any other one thing, it is destroyed by the process that we misname education – a process that goes on in most homes and schools.11. The writer believes that intelligence is doing well on some examinations. BA. TrueB. False12. The writer believes that “unintelligence”is a particular way of looking at the world.BA. TrueB. False13. Why does the writer say that education is misnamed?BA. Because it takes place more in homes than in school.B. Because it discourages intellectual growth.C. Because it helps dull children with their problems.D. Because it helps children understand the world around them.14. “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” Which of the following maxims hasa similar meaning to this one? CA. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again.B. All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.C. Make new friends and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold.D. Make hay while the sun shines.15. “It is an entirely different style of behavior, arising out of an entirely different set of attitudes.”“It” in this sentence refers to A .A. intelligenceB. behaviorC. lifeD. unintelligence答案：Part I Vocabulary and Structure1-5 CADDD 6-10 ACDDD 11-15 BBDAD 16-20 BBABCPart II Reading Comprehension1-5 BACAA 6-10 BADCB 11-15 BABAD欢迎您的下载，资料仅供参考！致力为企业和个人提供合同协议，策划案计划书，学习资料等等打造全网一站式需求。

They are just the people who have always been around. They make a fuss over the children in the family, show off to their friends the achievements of this child or that child, and show countless pictures of new babies. Grandfathers can fix anything, and grandmothers always have homemade biscuits around.When you are small, it's fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you can't do at home, and, of course, they buy you things. They are always able to babysit because they don't go out much and actually prefer to see their grandchildren. They are usually good for a small loan now and then that doesn't need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift. You respectfully listen to their advice but don't thank them politely for what they do for you, and then don't call or visit them until you need something else. And, of course, you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway.

College housing is usually in a dormitory, or dorm for short. Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments. They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports. They say dorms are close to places they go every day, like the library, computer center and classrooms. They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students.Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand. Some dorms are organized into areas called suites. Suites have several bedrooms, a large, living area and a bathroom. Six or more people may live in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a hallway. Two students usually live in each room. On each floor there is a large bathroom for all the students who live on that floor. Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food.In most universities, males and females live in the same dorm. They may even live on the same floor. But they usually may not live in the same room or suite. Most universities have some dorms for men and women.36 Where do some foreign students in American colleges prefer to live?（A）In a hotel（B）In a house（C）In an apartment（D）In a friend's home37 What may be the reason for a foreign student to choose to live in a dorm?（A）It is cheaper（B）It has a big living room（C）It is cleaner（D）It is owned by the university38 How many students can a dorm hold at most according to the passage? （A）Two（B）Six（C）Twelve（D）A thousand39 One of the advantages of living in a dorm is that( ).（A）it is easier for the students to get in touch with other students （B）the students can go to school library every day（C）the students can use personal computers freely（D）more than two students may live in one room40 Which of following statement is TRUE according to the passage? （A）All the students in a dorm share one large bathroom.（B）Students are not allowed to cook in the dorm.（C）Female students and male students cannot live in the same dorm.（D）Living in the dorm is helpful to develop your relation with others.40 Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car, most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.41 When do most Americans feel they are poor?（A）When they don't have a car.（B）When they live in a huge country.（C）When they don't use planes.（D）When they have a car.42 Which of the following is NOT the reason why cars become popular in the United States?（A）The United States is not so huge.（B）Public transportation is not so convenient.（C）Americans like to be independent.（D）Americans like to move around.43 What public transportation is good in the United States?（A）Buses.（B）Trains.（C）Taxis.（D）Planes.44 What has caused a big problem for Americans?（A）A new kind of car.（B）Public transportation.（C）The gas shortage.（D）Poor people.45 Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?（A）Cars have made the nation on wheels.（B）Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.（C）Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.（D）Cars have made American independent.45 There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But it's hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor, The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.46 Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?（A）Science provides answers to theoretical questions.（B）Science seeks to comprehend the universe.（C）Science aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them.（D）Science serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.47 Which of the following statements about technology is NOT true?（A）Technology provides answers to practical problems.（B）Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.（C）Technology helps change the material world.（D）Technology has to do with new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily life.48 According to the author, scientific theories( ).（A）must be strictly objective（B）usually pay attention to people's likes and dislikes（C）should conform to popular opinions（D）always convince everyone49 The author states that technology itself( ).（A）is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustion（B）should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselves（C）will lead to a better world if put to wise use（D）will inevitably be for bad motivation50 The tone of the author in this passage is( ).（A）ironical（B）critical（C）factual（D）arbitrary二、Cloze50 For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.

Another habit which【C10】______down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as【C11】______reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an【C12】______, which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed.
