Cage at London premiere of his new filmHollywood star Nicolas Cage arrived in London on Sunday for the premiere(首发式) of one of the years most anticipated films, "National Treasure." The action-packed blockbuster has already had huge success in North America, taking the number one position with ticket sales of 35 million US dollars in its opening week.The film tells the story of Benjamin Franklin Gates, played by Nicolas Cage, who comes from a family of treasure-hunters. Gates is trying to find a treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers of the United States after the Revolutionary War. Ben is closing in on his quest, but so is his competition, as well as the FBI. Gates believes a map to the treasure's whereabouts can be found on the back of the Declaration of Independence, located in the heart of Washington, D.C. When he learns of a secret plan to steal the Declaration, he only has one choice: to steal it himself, before anyone else does.Nicolas Cage said, "National Treasure is enthusiastic about history which everybody can enjoy that, especially the students and kids, or if you're on a date with a young lady or a young man it can be a lot of fun and parents will enjoy it.I think there's something in it for everybody.""National Treasure" makes people think of the treasure-hunt films of the 1940s and '50s, and has even been compared to the Indiana Jones series.The film's overwhelming box office success has re-established producer Jerry Bruckheimer as one of the industry's most dependable hit-making producers.56.This passage is ________.A. a piece of newsB. a diaryC. a legend storyD. a film story57.The underlined word in the first paragraph means __________.A. a very successful personB. obstructionC. a very powerful bombD. a film or book greatly promoted by its producers58.

National Treasure ________.A. is a story about treasure huntingB. has won great box office in North AmericaC. can be enjoyed by people at different agesD. All of the above.60.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. National Treasure is an action film about history story.B. Treasure-hunt films were quite popular in the 1940s and 50s.C. Nat ional treasure is Nicolas Cage’s first successful film.D. The Indiana Jones series are quite popular.BThe Food and Drug Administration is expected to rule soon that milk from cloned animals and meat from their offspring (后代) are safe to eat, raising the question of whether Americans are ready to welcome one of modern biology’s most controversial (争论的) achievements to the dinner table.The agricultural industry has observed a voluntary FDA moratorium (暂停) on using the products of clones, but it has recently become clear that a few offspring of cloned pigs and cows are already trickling into the food supply. Many in agriculture believe such genetic copies are the next logical step in improving the nation’s livestock.Consumer groups counter that many Americans are likely to be revolted(作呕的) by the idea of serving clone milk to their children or tossing meat from the progeny（幼仔）of clones onto the backyard grill. This “yuck factor”, as it’s often called, has come to light repeatedly in public opinion surveys. Asked earlier this year in a poll by the International Food Information Council whether they would willingly buy meat, milk and eggs that come from clones if the FDA declared them to be safe, 63 percent of consumers said no.Yet mounting scientific evidence suggests there is little cause for alarm, at least on food-safety grounds. Studies have shown that meat and milk from clones can’t be distinguished from that of normal animals, although work is not complete and researchers say that clones do suffer subtle genetic abnormalities.While milk from clones might reach the shelves, clones themselves are not likely to be eaten, since they cost thousands of dollars to produce. They’d be used as breeding stock, so the real question is whether their sexually produced offspring would be safe.The FDA has been promising a policy for three years, but hasn’t produced a final version, and some biotechnology companies involved in cloning have run out of cash while waiting. Livestock(家畜) producers have dubbed（起绰号）the FDA the “Foot Dragging Administration”.61. What is the opinion of the Americans on serving cloned milk to their children?A. They expected to serve cloned milk to their childrenB. They are ready to feed their children on the cloned milk.C. They believe using the cloned milk is safe enough.D. Even safe as to be declared, most of them won’t accept it.62. What does the underlined sentence mean in the passage?A. The clones are very rare and cost so much to produce, so they will never be used as food.B. Researchers spent too much money to produce the clones; it’s not worth eating.C. The clones cost so much to produce, so they will be rarely used as food.D. The FDA will make a decision that the clones are too expensive to take as food.63. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A. The FDA intends to declare the food from the cloned animals are safe to eatB. Most Americans are still willing to accept traditional foodsC. Research on cloning cost too much moneyD. The FDA is efficient, so the Americans call them the “Foot Dragging Administration”64. Why has the FDA been dubbed “Foot Dragging Administration”?A. Because the FDA hasn’t made the final policy in the promising duration.B. Because some companies have used up their money while waiting.C. Because the FDA doesn’t know whether or not the cloned meat is safe to eat.D. Because the weary livestock producers like to play jokes.65. Which is the best title of this passage?A．The offspring of cloned animals.B. Clone-generated meat, milk may be approved.C. The cloned animals’ products are dangerous.D. The new plan on cloned animals’ products.CNo other sporting event captures the world’s imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since the first tentative(试验性的)competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA’s flag has constantly grown in popularity and influence.A group of visionary(有远见的) French football administrators suggested bringing the world’s strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition.When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the Americas, the World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee’s decision in May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition. To let the World Cup enter each of the seven continents, the FIFA has decided that the World Cup cannot continually be held in the same continent. We know the 18th World Cup will be held in German and the 19th World Cup will be held in Africa in 2012. In 2008, the FIFA will choose another continent to hold the 20th World Cup.Since 1930, the tournaments have seen only seven different winners. However, the FIFA World Cup has also been interrupted by dramatic upsets that have helped create football history----- the United States d efeating England in 1950, North Korea’s defeat of Italy in 1966, Cameroon’s emergence in the 1980s and their opening match defeat of the Argentinean cup-holders in 1990--- After all these years and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World Cup remains the same------ the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every footballer’s ambition.66. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Rules of the FIFA World CupB. History of the FIFA World CupC. How to take part in the FIFA World CupD. Impact of the FIFA World Cup67. The underlined word “resumed” (paragraph 3) probably means____________.A. continued after an interruptionB. stoppedC. was cancelledD. interrupted68. According to the passage, in 2014, the 20th World Cup will not be held in__________.A. EuropeB. AfricaC. AsianD. America69. From paragraph 4, we can infer that__________.A. since 1930, the FIFA World Cup has witnessed different winners.B. from 1930 until now, the winners of the tournaments have remained the same.C. the Argentinean team was defeated by the Cameroon team.D. not all of the strong teams can win every match.70. The reason why every footballer wants to attend the FIFA World Cup is that __________ .A. every footballer wants to get a high award.B. every footballer wants to win the respect from the public.C. every footballer wants to win the glistening golden trophy.D. every footballer wants to be famous overnight.D. Drug Reactions – A Major Cause of DeathAdverse（不良的）drug reactions may cause the deaths of over 100,000 US hospital patients each year, making them a leading cause of death nationwide, according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.“The incidence （发生率）of serious and fatal adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in US hospital was found to be extremely high,” say researchers at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada.They carried on an analysis of 39 ADR-related studies at US hospitals over the past 30 years and defined ADR as “any harmful, unintended, and undesired effect of a drug which occurs at doses used in humans for prevention, diagnosis, or therapy（治疗）.”An average of 6.7% of all hospitalized patients experience an ADR every year, according to the researchers. They estimate that “in 1994, overall 2,216, 000 hospitalized patients had serious ADRs, and 106,000 had fatal ADRs.” This means that ADRs may rank as the fourth single largest cause of death in America.And these incidence figures are probably conservative, the researchers add, since their ADR definition did not include outcomes linked to problems in drug administration, overdoses, drug abuse, and therapeutic failures.The control of ADRs also means spending more money. One US study estimated the overall cost of treating ADRs at up to $4 billion per year.Dr. David Bates of Brigham and women’s hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, believes that healthcare workers need to pay more attention to the problem, especially since many ADRs are easily preventable. “When a patient develops an allergy or sensitivity, it is often not recorded, ” Bates notes,” and patients receive drug to which they have known allergies or sensitivities with disturbing frequency.” He believes computerized su rveillance(监视)systems–still works – in –progress at many of the nation’s hospitals – should help cut down the frequency of these types of errors.71．Researchers at the University of Toronto believes that .A．ADRs have caused medical problems, though they seldom lead to death.B．ADRs have very often caused patients to die in Canada.C．ADRs have caused many deaths in America over the past 30 years.D．it is easy to prevent ADRs from happening.72．According to the passage, about 7 out of 100 hospitalized patients in America .A．die of ADRs each year B．never experience ADRs each yearC．suffer from ADRs each year D．have fatal ADRs each year73．Adverse drug reactions might include .A．an allergy to a certain drug B．drug abuseC．problems in drug administration D．therapeutic failures74．The underlined word “conservative” in the 5th paragraph possible means .A．very exact B．too high C．underestimates D．too low75．According to Dr David Bates, hospitals in America .A．are not paying enough attention to possibilities of ADRs happeningsB．have never tried to use computers to prevent ADRs from happeningC．shouldn’t use those drugs which will cause side effects to their patientsD．should know that many ADRs are not easily preventable第Ⅱ卷（共45分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达阅读下面的短文并回答问题。
