Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When discussing the causes of animal endangerment, it is important to understand that individual species are not the only factors involved in this difficult situation. Endangerment is a broad 50 , one that involves the habitats (栖息地) and environments where species live and interact with one another. Although some measures are being 51 to help specific cases of endangerment, the universal problem cannot be solved until the 52 environments where endangered species live are 53 by humans. There are many reasons why a particular species may become endangered, but habitat destruction is on top.Our planet is continually changing, causing habitats to be changed and modified. Natural changes tend to occur at a gradual pace, usually causing only a slight 54 on individual species. However, when changes occur at a fast pace, there is little or no time for individual species to __55 and adapt to new circumstances. This can create disastrous results, and for this reason, rapid habitat loss is the 56 cause of species endangerment. The strongest forces in rapid habitat loss are human beings. Nearly every region of the earth has been affected by human 57 , particularly during this past century. The loss of microbes (微生物) in soils that formerly supported tropical forests, the 58 of fish and various aquatic (水族的) species in polluted habitats, and changes in global climate brought about by the 59 greenhouse gases are all results of human activities.It can be 60 for an individual to recognize the effects that humans have had on specific species. It is also hard to identify or predict human effects on individual species and habitats, especially during a human lifetime. 61 it is quite obvious that human activities have greatly contributed to species endangerment. 62 , although tropical forests may look as though they are thick and healthy, they are actually highly susceptible(易受影响的) to destruction only because of the soils in which they grow 63 nutrients(营养). It may take centuries to re-grow a forest that was cut down by humans or destroyed by fire, and many of the world’s severely threatened animals and plants live in these forests. If the present rate of forest 64 continues, huge quantities of plant and animal species will disappear.50. A. theme B. project C. issue D. experiment51. A. performed B. taken C. held D. made52.

And it can happen anywhere.In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, and giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give, the boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift (轮班) at the hospital had been changed, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions (按压). And he came to life.After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking (哽住).Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts, the food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.“The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.”Who was the woman?Penny Brown.65.

The list goes on & on.B.I hate saying this but I believe America deserved 9/11 …They have screwed up so manygovernments ….C.I’m American and I and my brother suspected the whole story about dropping him into theocean. We feel if they really killed him they would keep his body for proof.D.All you Islamic haters are ignorant fools. The terrorists don’t have anything to do with thereligion.

Nuking (kill somebody with nuclear bombs) Pakistan will do nothing by the way.E.Please give me the 2 minutes of my life back that I watched your pointless and fake video.F.Man? Why is this video fake? Rather than shouting about how it’s obviously not Osama, whynot provide the arguments for it instead of coming off as if you simply want to deny it for the sake of denial.G.What a load of nonsense, an insult to any intelligent person, Bin Laden dead for ages … watchBenazir Bhutto say so on YouTube a week before she herself was murdered.

Bin Laden’s death is still a mystery because the terrorists have denied it(C)Imagine being on a treadmill (跑步机), wearing a face mask connected to oxygen-measuring equipment. You are walking at a leisurely pace, at the slowest setting, so your oxygen consumption is fairly low. As the speed of the treadmill increases, your metabolism (新陈代谢) increases, and as a result, your oxygen consumption goes up as well. Your muscle cells are using the extra oxygen to break down carbohydrates, which they use for fuel, and turn them into energy, so their metabolism is said to be aerobic(with air). You are now jogging along at a comfortable speed, still supplying sufficient oxygen to your muscle cells, so your exercise is still aerobic. As you increase your speed, your oxygen consumption will continue to rise, but at some point, it will stop rising. That is because your heart and lungs have reached their maximum capacity for supplying oxygen to the muscles via the bloodstream. But you can still run a lot faster. Your speed keeps increasing and eventually you are running as fast as you can, but your oxygen consumption has not changed. Your muscle cells can keep on firing without getting the extra oxygen they need because they are able to break down carbohydrates without using oxygen. This is called anaerobic(without air) metabolism. Sprinters(短跑运动员), who run at top speed, perform most of their hundred-meter race anaerobically; in contrast, long-distance runners, who have time to vary their speed, perform most of their event aerobically.Anaerobic metabolism is far less efficient than aerobic metabolism but is capable of generating very high quantities of energy for short periods of time. It also generates lactic acid (乳酸) as a by-product. This is stored in the muscles and associated with muscle fatigue and general exhaustion. That is why sprinting cannot be kept up for very long. After sprinting, the lactic acid that has been stored in the muscles has to be broken down, and this requires oxygen, which explains why we breathe quickly after a hard run.72. The body’s energy is usually obtained through the breakdown of _____.A. carbohydratesB. lactic acidC. the bloodstreamD. oxygen73. When you run, your body begins anaerobic metabolism _____.A. as you begin to pick up speedB. after sprinting is completedC. when your heart and lungs cannot supply enough oxygenD. when the lactic acid in your muscles must be broken down74. Which of the following statements is true?A. Aerobic metabolism is more efficient than anaerobic metabolism.B. Aerobic metabolism breaks down carbohydrates without oxygen.C. Aerobic metabolism produces lactic acid.D. Aerobic metabolism happens for only brief periods.75. The passage implies that during sprinting, _____.A. there is a dangerous pressure on the heartB. the body’s reserve of carbohydrates increasesC. the body breaks down carbohydrates both with and without oxygenD. the body needs less energy than usualSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Five Happiness Secrets For Tough TimesSonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years. Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day.76. ________________“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that just ma kes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”77. ________________Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now manyof us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride.”78. ________________You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can weigh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones.“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them.”79. ________________“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy people all have goals they care about.”Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times. Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt and change!“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”80. ________________When times are tough, it’s easy to skip your regular workouts in favor of mop ping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good.”But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC (Tender Loving Care). It will go a long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,” Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”第Ⅱ卷I.

Each word can only be usedFilmgoers should be told how many calories there are in the popcorn, ice cream and soft drinks that they buy in cinemas, according to the Food Standard Agency.Smaller popcorn buckets and drink cups should also be made 41 , the nutrition inspector said.Tim Smith, chief executive of the agency, told The Times that cinemas should help to deal with the country’s overweight42 .“There is a misbelief that popcorn is calorie-free, but that is not the case. It is a 43 to us,” he said. “Portion sizes are also a big issue, and there seems to be increasingly big packs on sale.”He spoke as a number of food chains such as Pret A Manger, Wimpey and The Real Greek 44 to put calorie counts on all their menus.A trial scheme(试行方案) with 21 food companies took place last summer, and 45 are that consumers altered their buying habits when they realised the number of calories in a product.A consultation (征询意见) on the trial ends next month but Mr Smith is already planning the second drive for American-style calorie counts and is 46 to win support from cinemas and other entertainment places, from football grounds to concert halls.Government 47 suggest that two thirds of adults and a third of children are overweight. If trends are not 48 , this could rise to almost nine in ten adults and two thirds of children by 2050, putting them at 49 risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Filling in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were askedfor a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another 50 , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his 51 ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to 52 aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In 53 these and other research findings, two themes are 54 : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think 55 assistance.In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. 56 , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be 57 , but had apparently been “lost”. The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very 58 person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to 59 the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.The degree of 60 between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) 61T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.Whether a person receives help depends in part on the “worth” of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone 62 to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for 63 than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be 64 rather than drunk.50.A. study B. way C. word D. college51.A. hand B. arm C. face D. back52.A. refuse B. beg C. lose D. receive53.A. challenging B. recording C. understanding D. publishing54.A. important B. possible C. amusing D. missing55.A. seek B. deserve C. obtain D. accept56.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White’s second reason for making the tripwas to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.65.When Phil White returned from his trip, he _______.A. broke the world recordB. collected money for OxfamC. destroyed several bikesD. travelled about l,300 hours66.What does the word “epic” in Paragraph l most probably mean?A. Very slow but exciting.B. Very long and difficult.C. Very smooth but tiring.D. Very lonely and depressing.67.During his journey around the world, Phil White _______. 65—68. BBCDA. fought heroically against robbers in IranB. experienced the extremes of heat and coldC. managed to ride against the wind in AustraliaD. had a team of people who travelled with him68.Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?A. Imaginative.B. Patriotic.C. Modest.D. Determined.(B)The value-packed, all-inclusivesight-seeing package thatcombines the best of Sydney’sharbour, city, bay and beachhighlights.A SydneyPass gives you unlimited and flexible travel on the Explorer Buses: the ‘red’ Sydney Explorer shows you around our exciting city sights while the ‘blue’ Bondi Explorer visits Sydney Harbour bays and famous beaches.

This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fight-or-flight” reaction to stress. In other words, individuals e ither react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend.” That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”), and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (‘befriend”).Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxe d, more social, and less anxious.” While men also secrete（分泌）oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency ofstress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior.

FAEDCLearning to read early has become one of those indicators—in parents’ minds at least— that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.77.________Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace. 78.________Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the “whole language” method and the “phonic” method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a “p” and another a “b”. Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able tounderstand the meaning of what is written.79.________You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start “ear training” their child by playing rhyme games. This develops the child’s ability t o recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.80.________Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child’s learning disabilities.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同龄人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures, the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society, adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.This pattern of age segregation (隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults, with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults. School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children. Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 to 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent to 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size.Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents’ daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous(白治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.

It is a 43 to us," he said. "Portion sizes are also a big issue, and there seems to be increasingly big packs on sale."He spoke as a number of food chains such as Pret A Manger, Wimpey and The Real Greek 44 to put calorie counts on all their menus.A trial scheme（试行方案）with 21 food companies took place last summer, and 45 are that consumers altered their buying habits when they realised the number of calories in a product.A consultation(征询意见) on the trial ends next month but Mr Smith is already planning the second drive for American-style calorie counts and is 46 to win support from cinemas and other entertainment places, from football grounds to concert halls.Government 47 suggest that two thirds of adults and a third of children are overweight. If trends are not 48 , this could rise to almost nine in ten adults and two thirds of children by 2050, putting them at 49 risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fillin each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another 50 , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble（绊脚）and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his 51 ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely t0 52 aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In 53 these and other research findings,two themes are 54 : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think _ 55 _ assistance.In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. 56 , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be 57 , but had apparently been "lost" . The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very 58 person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to 59 the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.The degree of _ 60 between the potential helper and the person in need is also important.For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) 61 T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example,shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone . 62 _ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for 63 than cookies.Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be 64 rather than drunk.50.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Phil White has just returned from an 18,OOO-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ~70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle（车座）and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up t0 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chasedby armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr.White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.65. When Phil White returned from his trip, he _.A. broke the world recordB. collected money for OxfamC. destroyed several bikesD. travelled about l,300 hours66. What does the word "epic" in Paragraph l most probably mean?A. Very slow but exciting.B. Very long and difficult.C. Very smooth but tiring.D. Very lonely and depressing.67. During his journey around the world, Phil White _ .A. fought heroically against robbers in IranB. experienced the extremes of heat and coldC. managed to ride against the wind in AustraliaD. had a team of people who travelled with him68. Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?A. Imaginative.B. Patriotic.C. Modest.D. Determined.(B)The value-packed, all-inclusivesight-seeing package thatcombines the best of Sydney'sharbour, city, bay and beachhighlights.A SydneyPass gives you unlimited and flexible travel on the Explorer Buses: the 'red' Sydney Explorer shows you around our exciting city sights wlrile the 'blue' Bondi Explorer visits Sydney Harbour bays and famous beaches.

This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same "fight-or-flight" reaction to stress. In other words, individuals eicher react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict ("fight"), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation ("flight"). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called "tend and befriend." That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young ("tend"), and by looking for social contact and support from others - especially other females 《'befriend").Scientists have long known that in the fight-or- flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(澈素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin,has been studied in the context of cFuldbirt.h, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor,explained that "animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious." While men also secrete【分泌）oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far. more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lowerfrequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.72. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to .A. turn to friends for helpB. solve a conflict calmlyC. find an escape from realityD. seek comfort from children73. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.C. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.D. Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.74. What can be learned from the passage?A. Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.C. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.D. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.75. Which of the following might be the best ti.tle of the passage?A. How men and women get over stressB. How men and women suffer from stressC. How researchers overcome stress problemsD. How researchers handle stress-related disordersSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. When a child should learn to readB. Why it is fun to teach a child readingC. What if a child has reading problemsD. How you prepare a young child for readingE. What is the best way to teach a child readingF.

Now this anger has become a 41 H. nationwide movement. People in New York City and across the US are 42 C. displaying their solidarity (团结) by organizing similar protests.The “Occupy Wall Street” movement started as a way of showing frustration (沮丧) about high A. unemployment__43 , corporate greed, social inequality and other issues. “The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99 % that will no longer stand the greed and corruption(腐败) of 1 %,”44_I. stated _ excitedly the website of the Seattle demonstrators.Most protests have been peaceful, though a few have led to arrests. On October 1, for example, the New York group 45 B. blocked the Brooklyn Bridge road, and more than 700 people were arrested.The protesters spent most of their time in the plaza, sleeping on airbeds and 46 E. holding assemblies to discuss plans. They ate food that people gave them for free and ran their laptops from small generators (发电机).The movement has gained the support of many unions, including the United Federation of Teachers and the Transport Workers Union Local 100.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When discussing the causes of animal endangerment, it is important to understand that individual species are not the only factors involved in this difficult situation. Endangerment is a broad 50 , one that involves the habitats (栖息地) and environments where species live and interact with one another. Although some measures are being 51 to help specific cases of endangerment, the universal problem cannot be solved until the 52 environments where endangered species live are 53 by humans. There are many reasons why a particular species may become endangered, but habitat destruction is on top.Our planet is continually changing, causing habitats to be changed and modified. Natural changes tend to occur at a gradual pace, usually causing only a slight 54 on individual species. However, when changes occur at a fast pace, there is little or no time for individual species to __55 and adapt to new circumstances. This can create disastrous results, and forthis reason, rapid habitat loss is the 56 cause of species endangerment. The strongest forces in rapid habitat loss are human beings. Nearly every region of the earth has been affected by human 57 , particularly during this past century. The loss of microbes (微生物) in soils that formerly supported tropical forests, the 58 of fish and various aquatic (水族的) species in polluted habitats, and changes in global climate brought about by the 59 greenhouse gases are all results of human activities.It can be 60 for an individual to recognize the effects that humans have had on specific species. It is also hard to identify or predict human effects on individual species and habitats, especially during a human lifetime. 61 it is quite obvious that human activities have greatly contributed to species endangerment. 62 , although tropical forests may look as though they are thick and healthy, they are actually highly susceptible(易受影响的) to destruction only because of the soils in which they grow 63 nutrients(营养). It may take centuries to re-grow a fore st that was cut down by humans or destroyed by fire, and many of the world’s severely threatened animals and plants live in these forests. If the present rate of forest 64 continues, huge quantities of plant and animal species will disappear.50-64: CBDAC ADACD BCDAB50. A. theme B. project C. issue D. experiment51.

And it can happen anywhere.In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little Leagueteam in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, and giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give, the boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift (轮班) at the hospital had been changed, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions (按压). And he came to life.After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking (哽住).Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts, the food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.“The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.”Who was the woman?Penny Brown.65-68: ACDB65.

The following are comments made by Twitter viewers.A.Yeah, Osama got what he deserved, Iraq got what they deserved, and Afghanistan got whatthey deserved. Saddam got what he deserved, Hitler got what he deserved. The list goes on & on.B.I hate saying this but I believe America deserved 9/11 …They have screwed up so manygovernments ….C.I’m American and I and my brother suspected the whole story about dropping him into theocean. We feel if they really killed him they would keep his body for proof.D.All you Islamic haters are ignorant fools. The terrorists don’t have anything to do with thereligion.

Nuking (kill somebody with nuclear bombs) Pakistan will do nothing by the way.E.Please give me the 2 minutes of my life back that I watched your pointless and fake video.F.Man? Why is this video fake? Rather than shouting about how it’s obviously not Osama, whynot provide the arguments for it instead of coming off as if you simply want to deny it for the sake of denial.G.What a load of nonsense, an insult to any intelligent person, Bin Laden dead for ages … watchBenazir Bhutto say so on YouTube a week before she herself was murdered. The Muslims murdered her for being an American spy!H.I honestly don’t know what to believe, but … why did the terrorists confirm his death if itdidn’t happen.69-71: CCA69.

Bin Laden had been dead for quite a long time before his body was foundC. the writer of Comment D is probably an Islamic believerD. Bin Laden’s death is still a mystery because the terrorists have denied it(C)Imagine being on a treadmill (跑步机), wearing a face mask connected to oxygen-measuring equipment. You are walking at a leisurely pace, at the slowest setting, so your oxygen consumption is fairly low. As the speed of the treadmill increases, your metabolism (新陈代谢) increases, and as a result, your oxygen consumption goes up as well. Your muscle cells are using the extra oxygen to break down carbohydrates, which they use for fuel, and turn them into energy, so their metabolism is said to be aerobic(with air). You are now jogging along at a comfortable speed, still supplying sufficient oxygen to your muscle cells, so your exercise is still aerobic. As you increase your speed, your oxygen consumption will continue to rise, but at some point, it will stop rising. That is because your heart and lungs have reached their maximum capacity for supplying oxygen to the muscles via the bloodstream. But you can still run a lot faster. Your speed keeps increasing and eventually you are running as fast as you can, but your oxygen consumption has not changed. Your muscle cells can keep on firing without getting the extra oxygen they need because they are able to break down carbohydrates without using oxygen. This is called anaerobic(without air) metabolism. Sprinters(短跑运动员), who run at top speed, perform most of their hundred-meter race anaerobically; in contrast, long-distance runners, who have time to vary their speed, perform most of their event aerobically.Anaerobic metabolism is far less efficient than aerobic metabolism but is capable of generating very high quantities of energy for short periods of time. It also generates lactic acid (乳酸) as a by-product. This is stored in the muscles and associated with muscle fatigue and general exhaustion. That is why sprinting cannot be kept up for very long. After sprinting, the lactic acid that has been stored in the muscles has to be broken down, and this requires oxygen, which explains why we breathe quickly after a hard run.72-75: ACAC72. The body’s energy is usually obtained through the breakd own of _____.A. carbohydratesB. lactic acidC. the bloodstreamD. oxygen73. When you run, your body begins anaerobic metabolism _____.A. as you begin to pick up speedB. after sprinting is completedC. when your heart and lungs cannot supply enough oxygenD. when the lactic acid in your muscles must be broken down74. Which of the following statements is true?A. Aerobic metabolism is more efficient than anaerobic metabolism.B. Aerobic metabolism breaks down carbohydrates without oxygen.C. Aerobic metabolism produces lactic acid.D. Aerobic metabolism happens for only brief periods.75. The passage implies that during sprinting, _____.A. there is a dangerous pressure on the heartB. the body’s reserve of carbohydrates increasesC. the body breaks down carbohydrates both with and without oxygenD. the body needs less energy than usualSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.B. Think about what to do next.Five Happiness Secrets For Tough TimesSonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years. Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day.76-80: DFAEC76. ____D. Try to avoid over-thinking.____________“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”77. ______F. Practise acts of kindness.Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride.”78. ________A. Focus on your relationships.__________You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs c an weigh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones.“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them.”79. _____E. Set up a proper goal for yourself.___________“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy people all have goals they care about.”Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times. Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt and change!“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to lear n a whole new skill for a new job.”80. ______C. Take good care of your body.__________When times are tough, it’s easy to skip your regular workouts in favor of mop ping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good.”But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC (Tender Loving Care). It will go a long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,” Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease.Researchers used information from the Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part.Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups.Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could i ndirectly be affected by someone’s loneliness.The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. It also finds that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. Theresearchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.What personal behaviors can spread from person to person like loneliness and happinessaccording to the Framingham Study?82.81.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The Secret of SuccessThe secret of success is that there is no secret. Some people succeed because they are just __41__ than other people. Some people succeed because they just work harder than other people. And some people succeed because they are just plain lucky.Ma Donghan is a student at Tsinghua University who is __42__ to be successful and she’s not going to leave it to luck.

You can see that by the weekly schedule she’s set up for herself which was recently posted online.Every hour of every day is accounted for. There is her classroom __44__, of course, but then blocks of time are set aside for __45__ each subject and also for a few activities like playing sports. There are no hours set aside for just relaxing and there are only five hours allotted (分配) each night for sleeping. She has set a very __46__, almost punishing schedule for herself, but it seems to be working.Other students __47__ at Ma’s diligence and discipline but doubt that they could achieve the same level of success.

This is what other students can learn from Ma.In school, as in life, __49__ is never guaranteed and not everyone will find him or herself at the top of the pyramid. The important thing to remember is that having a plan and working hard to stay with the plan will bring you a level of success that just being smart and lucky cannot.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the onewe are living in, or it can be very __50__. Some stories are told as if they were true. Real people who live in a __51__ world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not __52__. They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be impossible for us.But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only __53__. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than __54__. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of thinking. When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our __55__, which is real, and our imagination, which is real in a different way, to make the words come to life in our minds.Both realism and fantasy (幻想) use the imagination and the ―magic‖ of reading and writing to make us think. When we read something realistic, we have to __56__ that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we __57__ that we are real and they are not. It sounds __58__, but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and __59__ the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by __60__ that what we read is like real life. __61__, we are writing the book, too.Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our __62__ when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will __63__ next.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and SocialBehavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily andhappily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bringstress for young people and can lead to depression(忧郁症). The studyshows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are theworst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk ofdepression for girls is ―loss of self‖. According to the study, even thoughboys would say ―lose themselves in a romantic relationship‖, this ―loss ofself‖ is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls.Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression -- eating or mood changes -- and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.65. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Parents should forbid their children’s love.C. Romance is a two - edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.66. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.67. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.D. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.68. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused.B. Disapproving.C. Disinterested.D. Scared.(B)It helps to choose the colors you plan to live with in your home with awareness of howdifferent colors affect your emotional and physical states. Every color has a unique meaning, and this can significantly affect how you feel in a room.Simple Solution:Using this simple chart, you can choose a room’s color to be in balance and harmony with the69. What impression can green rooms give to you?A. Passionate and powerful.B. Refreshing and harmonious.C. Cool and calming.D. Inspiring and bright.70.

Yellow rooms inspire logical and clear thinking.B. Blue creates a quiet meditative quality.C. Different colors affect you emotionally and physically.D. Red rooms are acceptable when you are in a bad mood.(C)Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine (饥荒), infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation (责任) to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want towork or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or gover nment insurance, they must often ―go on welfare‖ if they have a serious illness.When older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply ―dumping(倒垃圾的) grounds‖ for the dying in which ―care‖ is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel (员工).72. The author believes that the increased size of the human population results from _______.A. an increase in birthratesB. the industrial developmentC. a decrease in death ratesD. childhood diseases73. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _______.A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could notworkB. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in times of starvationC. old people were given the task of imparting (传授) the cultural wisdom of the tribe to newgenerationsD. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of (免除) the hardships oflife74. The phrase ―this need‖ in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. prolonging the dying ol d people’s livesB. reducing the problems caused by the retired peopleC. making profits through caring for the sick or weak peopleD. taking care of the sick or weak people75. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the UnitedStates is true?A. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.B. Minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.C. Many nursing homes are sponsored by religious and nonprofit groups.D. Older people have wealth or private insurance if they have a serious illness.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.PARIS76. ________Paris, the capital and the largest city of the country, is in north central Franc e. The Paris metropolitan area contains nearly 20% of the nation’s population and is the economic, cultural, and political center of France. The French government has historically favored the city as the site for all decision making, thus powerfully attrac ting nearly all of the nation’s activities.77. ________Paris has grown steadily since it was chosen as the national capital in the late 10th century. With the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a great number of people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century. The migration was especially stimulated by the construction of railroads, which provided easy access to the capital. After World War II more and more immigrants arrived.78. ________The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting. It is a place of publication of the most prestigious(有威望的) newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center. With more than 100 museums, Paris has truly one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world. The Louvre, opened as a museum in 1793, is one of the largest museums in the world.79. ________In the late 1980s about 4.1 million pupils annually attended about 47,000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5.4 million students attended some 11,200 secondary schools. Approximately 1.2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s. French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world.80. ________Paris is the leading industrial center of France, with about one quarter of the nation’s manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area. Industries of consumer goods have always been drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population; and modern, high-technology industries also have become numerous since World War II. Chief manufactures are machinery, automobiles, chemicals and electrical equipment.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Plants and animals usually do not live apart, as in many ways they are important to each other.Most green plants can make their own food. The food of other living things, even the food of meat-eating animals, comes directly or indirectly from green plants. For example, some people eat mutton (羊肉); mutton comes from a goat; the goats eat grass. These steps, or links, make up what is called a food chain. Without green plants, all other living things would in time die of starvation.Plants help animals in other ways too. They furnish homes and shelter for many animals. Many birds, as you know, build their nests in trees. Deer and many other animals use bushes for shelter. And even man depends much upon plants for his shelter. Animals repay some of this debt by helping plants. You may be aware that many insects and some birds do important work for plants by pollinating (授粉) them. You must have also learned how animals often help plants by spreading seeds.What is waste material for one of these kinds of life is often valuable substance for the other. For example, animals give off carbon dioxide gas when they breathe. When plants make food, they absorb this gas from the air, using the carbon and releasing some of the oxygen back into the air. The oxygen that is released, then, is again supplied to animals. Thus the cycle continues, ani-mals helping plants, and plants helping animals.All plants and animals have their enemies. Insects eat plants; birds eat insects; other animals kill birds. But here too, animals such as birds and bats help the plants by destroying harmful in-sects. Many plants and animals are helpful to some living things but are harmful to others. Then there are other rules in nature that act as checks and balances. For example, if there are more animals in a certain area than there is food to support them, some of the animals must migrate or starve. In either case, the number of animals will be reduced until the balance between animals and the available food supply is restored.These helps and hindrances (障碍) are constantly going on in the plant and animal world to achieve a balance. As long as one living thing is dependent on another, whenever the scales are tipped (使倾斜), nature takes steps to balance the scales again.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What does the author mean by saying ―Plants and animals usually do not live apart‖?82. Besides providing food and shelter for animals, plants can also ______ to help animals to live.83. ―Checks and balances‖ refers to ______ in the world of animals and plants.84. What will be the final result if some animals migrate or starve for lack of food?第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression -- eating or mood changes -- and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.65. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B.

Red rooms are acceptable when you are in a bad mood.(C)Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine (饥荒), infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation (责任) to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want towork or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or priva te or government insurance, they must often ―go on welfare‖ if they have a serious illness.When older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply ―dumping(倒垃圾的) grounds‖ for the dying in which ―care‖ is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel (员工).72.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.PARIS76. ________Paris, the capital and the largest city of the country, is in north central France. The Paris metropolitan area contains nearly 20% of the nation’s population and is the economic, cultural, and political center of France. The French government has historically favored the city as the site for all decision making, thus powerfully attracting nearly all of the nation’s activities.77. ________Paris has grown steadily since it was chosen as the national capital in the late 10th century. With the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a great number of people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century. The migration was especially stimulated by the construction of railroads, which provided easy access to the capital. After World War II more and more immigrants arrived.78. ________The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting. It is a place of publication of the most prestigious (有威望的) newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center. With more than 100 museums, Paris has truly one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world. The Louvre, opened as a museum in 1793, is one of the largest museums in the world.79. ________In the late 1980s about 4.1 million pupils annually attended about 47,000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5.4 million students attended some 11,200 secondary schools. Approximately 1.2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s. French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world.80. ________Paris is the leading industrial center of France, with about one quarter of the nation’s manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area. Industries of consumer goods have always been drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population; and modern, high-technology industries also have become numerous since World War II. Chief manufactures are machinery, automobiles, chemicals and electrical equipment.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Plants and animals usually do not live apart, as in many ways they are important to each other.Most green plants can make their own food. The food of other living things, even the food of meat-eating animals, comes directly or indirectly from green plants. For example, some people eat mutton (羊肉); mutton comes from a goat; the goats eat grass. These steps, or links, make up what is called a food chain. Without green plants, all other living things would in time die of starvation.Plants help animals in other ways too. They furnish homes and shelter for many animals. Many birds, as you know, build their nests in trees. Deer and many other animals use bushes for shelter. And even man depends much upon plants for his shelter. Animals repay some of this debt by helping plants. You may be aware that many insects and some birds do important work for plants by pollinating (授粉) them. You must have also learned how animals often help plants by spreading seeds.What is waste material for one of these kinds of life is often valuable substance for the other. For example, animals give off carbon dioxide gas when they breathe. When plants make food, they absorb this gas from the air, using the carbon and releasing some of the oxygen back into the air. The oxygen that is released, then, is again supplied to animals. Thus the cycle continues, ani-mals helping plants, and plants helping animals.All plants and animals have their enemies. Insects eat plants; birds eat insects; other animals kill birds. But here too, animals such as birds and bats help the plants by destroying harmful in-sects. Many plants and animals are helpful to some living things but are harmful to others. Then there are other rules in nature that act as checks and balances. For example, if there are more animals in a certain area than there is food to support them, some of the animals must migrate or starve. In either case, the number of animals will be reduced until the balance between animals and the available food supply is restored.These helps and hindrances (障碍) are constantly going on in the plant and animal world to achieve a balance. As long as one living thing is dependent on another, whenever the scales are tipped (使倾斜), nature takes steps to balance the scales again.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What does the author mean by saying ―Plants and animals usually do not live apart‖?82. Besides providing food and shelter for animals, plants can also ______ to help animals to live.83. ―Checks and balances‖ refers to ______ in the world of animals and plants.84. What will be the final result if some animals migrate or starve for lack of food?第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

Guided WritingHow to build an economized societyOur city government is aiming to build an economized society．It is everybody’s duty to work hard to achieve this goal, including us students．The above report of statistics suggests that the expenses of electricity, water and paper in a school are surprisingly large and growing rapidly, which draws our attention．As a member of society, we must keep the following in our minds．Firstly, make sure that the lights and all the other electric facilities are turned off when we leave rooms．Secondly, try to form the habit of turning off the tap after it is used and the waste water can be reused for more purposes．Thirdly, save paper as much as possible in our everyday life．It is even better to reuse it．In a word, if we pay much attention to our everyday behavior and take actions to reduce waste, we can make contributions to an economized society．。
