2011年12月三级考试真题答案
1-5 B C A A A 6-10 D B D C C11-13 C A C 14-16 C C B 17-20 D C D CFor Americans, time is money. They say, “You only get so much time in this life: you’d better use it wisely.” The future will not be 21 better than the past or present, 22 unless people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans 23 admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a 24 schedule for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other people’s time. They do not 25 waste people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no 26 visible beneficial outcome.The American attitude toward time is not necessarily 27 shared by others, especially non- Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as 28 something that simply there around them not something they can use. One of the more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.In this context the fast food industry can be seen as 29 a clear example of American culture product McDonal d’s, KFC, and other fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as 30 a symbol of American society and culture bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.Passage one31.

2011年12月英语三级考试最后冲刺试题及答案（第十三套）
2011年12月英语三级考试最后冲刺试题及答案（第十三套）Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) (40%)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage IQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Why? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some small green plants growing there. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land.He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the rows of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away.Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and all of the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.21. A desert is probably _______.A) grassyB) treelessC) wetD) muddy22. Land is becoming desert because of lack of _______.A) rainB) windC) peopleD) plants23. Which of the following is NOT the reason why small green plants are very important to dry places?A) They keep the earth from becoming even drier.B) They do not let wind blow the earth away.C) They add color to the dry places.D) They hold water.24. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A) it is bad to plant in rows in a dry place.B) it is better to raise animals on dry land than to make a farm.C) it is bad to make a farm in a dry place, but it is good to raise animals there.D) all lands that don’t get very rain are deserts.25. What’s the purpose of the writer to give a n example of the man?A) To criticize him.B) To tell an interesting story.C) To prove man makes deserts.D) To prove the hot sun makes a desert.Passage IIQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Museums are places where collections of objects are preserved and displayed. The objects may be anything found in nature or made by man. There are museums devoted to art, science, history, industry, and technology.But museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums, large or small, carry on educational programs. Museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music and art lessons, and other attractions.Museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of displaying them. All museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. Works of art are bought from art dealers and collectors or at auction( 拍卖)sales. Museums also accept gifts and bequests（遗物），but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. They accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.What is to be gained from visiting museums? Museum exhibits can teach us about the world in which we live—the materials it is made of , the trees and plants that covers it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. We can learn about the activities of man—his history and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.26.The first paragraph deals with ____.A) what museums preserveB) what kind of objects museums displayC) where museums obtain their objectsD) how museums function27. Which statement is not true?A) Museums are not only storehouses for collections.B) Museums are places where you can learn something.C) Museums preserve and display only things found in nature.D) Museums carry on educational and research programs.28. Where do objects at museums usually come from?A) From auction salesB) From art dealers and collectorsC) From gifts and bequestsD) All the above.29. The large museums accept _____.A) everything offered to themB) all the gifts and bequestsC) only objects that meet their high standardD) only things that small museums do not have30. The last paragraph is about_____.A) the knowledge one gets from visiting museumsB) the things one can see in museumC) the world and the people living in itD) museum collections from other landsPassage IIIQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeatthat makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. I f you let a baby grasp a rod and to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.31. The author _______.A) orders you to analyze defeatB) wants you to face defeatC) advises you to let a baby grasp a rodD) warns you not to confuse defeat with failure32. Defeat is valuable _______.A) because it is a factorB) because it isn’t defeat that makes you failC) because it provides the guide and encouragement to successD) because it is not a thing to be ashamed of33. What does the author know?A) He knows every success in life.B) He knows the factor making for success.C) He knows every man who is able to analyze defeat.D) He knows the life of every man.34. The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely _______A) to be a successorB) to face it with feeling ashamedC) to achieve successD) to be ashamed of it35. What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives?A) One should explore it.B) One should explain it.C) One should let a baby grasp a rod.D) One should learn it.Passage IVQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Through a series of experiments an American scientist has obtained an understanding of the social structure of the most complex of ant societies. The ants examined are the only creatures other than man to have given up hunting and collecting for a completely agricultural way of life. In their underground nests they cultivate gardens on soil made from finely chopped leaves. This is a complex operation requiring considerable division of labor. The workers of this type of ant can be divided into four groups according to size. Each of the groups performs a particular set of jobs.The making and care of the gardens and the nursing of the young ants are done by the smallest workers. Slightly larger workers are responsible for chopping up leaves to make them suitable for use in the gardens and for cleaning the nest. A third group of still larger ants do the construction work and collect fresh leaves from outside the nest. The largest are the soldier ants, responsible for defending the nest.To find out how good the various size-groups are at different tasks, the scientist measured the amount of work done by the ants against the amount of energy they used. He examined first the gathering and carrying of leaves. He selected one of the size-groups, and then measured how efficiently these ants could find leaves and run back to the nest. Then he repeated the experiment for each of the other size-groups. In this way he could see whether any group could do the job more efficiently than the group normally undertaking it.The intermediate-sized ants that normally perform this task proved to be the most efficient for their energy costs, but when the scientist examined the whole set of jobs performed by each group of ants it appeared that some sizes of worker ant were not ideally suited to the particular jobs they performed.36. In which way are the ants different from other non-human societies?A) Individuals perform different functions.B) They do not need to look for shelter.C) Individuals vary in social status.D) They do not need to search for food.37. It seems that smaller ants perform more of the _______.A) construction tasksB) domestic tasksC) defensive workD) heavy work38. "Good" (par. 3, Line 1) refers to the ants’_______.A) co-operation in workB) sense of responsibilityC) work efficiencyD) willingness to work hard39. The scientist’s work was based on _______.A) occasional observationsB) biological theoriesC) observations of several nestsD) observations of an undisturbed nest.40. The organization of the ants has the effect of _______.A) getting the most work doneB) each ant doing what it can do bestC) each ant helping with all the tasksD) dividing the work up systematicallyPart III Vocabulary and Structure (15%)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

2011年12月英语三级考试最后冲刺试题及答案(第九套)
Part II Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage IQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passages:In 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes–Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress – it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness!”If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the article said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many –like the death of a loved one – are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.1. The result of Holmes–Rahe medical research tells us ______ .A) the way you handle major events may cause stressB) what should be done to avoid stressC) what kind of event would cause stressD) how to cope with sudden change of life2. The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to ______.A) widespread concern over its harmful effectsB) great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC) an intensive research into stress –related illnessesD) popular avoidance of stressful jobs3. The score of the Holmes–Rahe test shows .A) how much pressure you are underB) how positive events can change your lifeC) how stressful a major event can beD) how you can deal with life –changing events4. Why is “such simplistic advice”(Line 1, Para. 3) impossible to follow?A) No one can stay on the same job for long.B) No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C) People have to get married someday.D) You could be missing opportunities as well.5. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become ________.A) nervous when faced with difficultiesB) physically and mentally strainedC) more capable of coping with adversityD) indifferent toward what happens to themPassage IIQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The octopus (章鱼)’s reputation as a human-killer isn’t simply an exaggeration –it is a total myth. The octopus can indeed be a deadly hunter, but only of its natural prey. Clams, mussels, crabs, lobsters and an occasional sick or unwary fish have reason to be frightened of this multi-armed predator, but a person is much too large to interest even the biggest octopus. Even a giant among octopuses is much smaller than most people imagine. Far from being large enough to engulf (吞下) a submarine, as monster octopuses in movies have been known to do, the largest octopuses, found on the Pacific coast, weigh around 110 pounds and grow to a diameter of no more than ten feet.The hard, parrot-like beak (嘴) of an octopus is not used for attacking deep-sea divers, but for cutting open crabs and lobsters. Indeed, the octopus possesses such a tiny throat that it cannot swallow large pieces of meat. It feeds instead by pouring digestive juices into its victims, and then sucking up the soupy remains. A clam or scallop (扇贝) that finds itself in the grasp of an octopus has only a short time to live. But human beings are perfectly safe. Still, people rarely care to venture close enough to these timid creatures to get a good look at them.6. This passage is mainly about _________.A) the horrors of the octopusB) the largest octopus in the worldC) octopuses and their behaviourD) the octopus’s deadly hunting method7. It is implied but not stated in the passage that _______________.A) people have groundless fears about the octopusB) the octopus is not interested in human beings because they are too large for itC) the octopus is afraid of human beingsD) the octopus is a very vicious sea animal8. Which of the following statements is true?A) The octopus usually uses its eight tentacles to tear its prey into pieces before eating it up.B) The octopus always catches sick and careless fish.C) The octopus never attacks people.D) The octopus can engulf submarines.9. The hard beak of the octopus is used for .A) attacking deep-sea diversB) cutting up large pieces of meatC) cutting open its preyD) defending itself10. From the passage, we can conclude that .A) the octopus is not dangerous to man, as many people believe it to beB) people often fear creatures that are not dangerous to themC) the octopus only hunts its natural preyD) things described in movies are not to be believedPassage IIIQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:These days there are so many stories about the criminal activities of athletes that sports pages are beginning to look like police reports. What’s going on? American sports fans ask over their morning toast and coffee, What’s happening to our heroes?It’s not difficult to understand our desire for athletes to be heroes. On the surface, at least, athletes display a vital and indomitable spirit; they are gloriously alive inside their bodies. And sports do allow us to witness acts that can legitimately be described as courageous, thrilling, beautiful, even noble. In an increasingly complicated and disorderly world, sports are still an arena in which we can regularly witness a certain kind of greatness.Yet there’s something of a paradox here, for the very qualities a society tends to seek in its heroes –selflessness, social consciousness, and the like –are precisely the opposite of those needed to transform a talented but otherwise unremarkable neighborhood kid into a Michael Jordan. To become a star athlete, you have to have an extremely competitive outlook and you have to be totally focused on the development of our own physical skills. These qualities may well make a great athlete, but they don’t necessarily make a great person. On top of this, our society reinforces these traits by the system it has created to produce athletes –a system characterized by limited responsibility and enormous privilege.The athletes themselves suffer the costs of this system. Trained to measure themselves perpetually against the achievements of those around them, many young athletes develop a sense of what sociologist Walter Schafer has termed “conditional self-worth”. They learn very quickly that they will be accepted by the important figures in their lives –parents, coaches and peers as long as they are perceived as “winners”. Unfortunately they become conceited and behave as if their athletic success will last forever.11. In paragraph 1, we know that when Americans read the sports pages they ______.A) are able to get information about sports gamesB) know more about athletes’private livesC) are surprised to find that their heroes are committing various crimes.D) are like reading police reports.12. The author suggests that people want athletes to be heroes because ______.A) athletes don’t display a vital and indomitable spiritB) in sports we can see a certain kind of greatnessC) athletes stand for successD) all athletes are courageous and noble13. The author argues that __________.A) the qualities that make a successful athlete don’t necessarily make a great personB) the qualities a society seeks in its heroes are precisely the ones needed to transform a talented child into a great athleteC) our society has created an effective system to transform athletes into heroesD) our society is responsible for reinforcing the qualities of great athletes14. By saying that young athletes develop a sense of “conditional self-worth”(paragraph 4), the author means that _______.A) they are valued by others as long as they winB) young athletes are easily accepted by their parents, coaches and peersC) young athletes are always perceived as winnersD) young athletes lack the sense of self-worth15. What is the author’s attitude toward today’s social system characterized by limited responsibility and enormous privilege?A) Positive. B) Favorable.C) Critical. D) Ironical.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products. But because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastics.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled (回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life –and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste–management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving of more than $ 100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.16. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?A) Average companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.B) Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C) A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.D) Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back onreturning them.17. The returned plastic bottles in New York used to .A) end up somewhere undergroundB) be turned into raw materialsC) have a second-life valueD) be separated from other rubbish18. The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is .A) to sell them in at a profitable priceB) how to turn them into useful thingsC) how to reduce their recycling costsD) to lower the prices for used materials19. Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because .A) local governments find it easy to manageB) recycling has great appeal for the joblessC) recycling causes little pollutionD) other methods are more expensive20. It can be concluded from the passage that .A) rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materialsB) local governments in the U.S. can expect big profits from recyclingC) recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentallyD) landfills will still be widely used for waste disposalPart II Reading Comprehension (20%)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 15 000 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a 510 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees ——anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktopcomputers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but alsolibraries and other resources. State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we''''''''re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything." (本题分数：10 分。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A). B), C) and D) You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31-35 are based on the following passage;A moment's drilling by the dentist (牙医) may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain. To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the “needled”—a shot of pain-killer—that deadens the nerves around the tooth.Now it's true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly sensitive to what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves, and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves, we wouldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of your body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to painBut there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (行僧), who sits on a bed of nails fakirs can put a needle right through an army and feel no pain, This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life31. The passage is mainly about__________.A) how to suffer pain B) how to stop painC) how to handle pain D) how to avoid pain32. The sentence "we pay for our sensitivity" in the second paragraph implies that ______.A) it pays to be sensitive B) torture is not necessarily a bad thingC) our pain is worth feeling D) when we have pain, we feel it strongly33. When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he suggests that__________.A) Indians arc insensitive to pain B) fakirs have some kind of magic powerC) some people may not feel pain D) the ability to handle pain lies in the mind34 The key to handling pain is__________.A) how we look at pain B) to accept the pain calmlyC) to show an interest in pain D) to feel pain as much as possible35. The word "withstanding" in the last paragraph most probably means_________A) bearing B) suffering C) killing D) stoppingPassage T woQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:For the past few weeks, we have been discussing national energy conservation alternatives for the future. Today I'm going to talk about what one community's presently doing to conserve (保存) energy. The people of Davis, California, have succeeded in cutting their energy consumption by1/3 since 1973. The first energy saving action that was taken in the early 70's was the legislation (立法) of street building codes. All new houses in Davis must have the proper insulation (绝缘) so that heat will not escape unnecessarily during the winter. New houses must also face north or south, so that they will not be overheated by the sun in summer. The law has definitely had an effect. Since 1976, there has been a 50 percent saving in the amount of natural gas and electricity used in healing and air conditioning. There are other energy saving features about Davis. Buses partially supported by the city transport university students throughout the area. There are 24 miles of bicycle paths, and today there are twice as many bicycles as cars in the city. By reducing the available parking space, the city council has succeeded in reducing the number or cars in t he city every day. Another benefit of the reduced parking is the greater number of small cars. People are saving gas because they are choosing no, to drive, or because they are driving fuel-economic car. Davis, California has become an energy saving model for other cities.Time is up for today. Next week, we'll return to our regular topic of national energy alternatives.36. The people of Davis now consume only __________of the energy they did before 1973A) 33% B)50% C)66% D) 75%37. It is forbidden to build houses facing the east or the west in Davis because theyA) would consume more energy B) would let heat escape more easilyC) would be built at a higher cost D) would be overheated during winter38. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) Buses are privately owned in the city.B) Buses carry students throughout the city.C) There are many more bicycles than cars in the city.D) Bicycle paths are longer than bus routes in the city.39. Which of the following is NOT an effect of reduced parking?A) The total number of cars is reduced. B) The number of small cars has increased.C) People like keeping fit by walking to work. D) People prefer using energy-saving vehicles.40. The speaker talks about the practice of Davis as a model of__________.A) energy recycling B) energy consumptionC) energy production D) energy conservationPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire (帝国). It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with; and hecan earn money by making charcoal (木炭) or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappearThis does not only mean that the villagers’ s ons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up -allowing the rain to sink in—and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.41. What is the most important function of trees?A) Providing fuel. B) Providing nice scenery.C) Offering shade. D) Preventing natural disasters.42. What happened eventually to the rich, powerful country 2000 years ago?A) It broke down. B) It became a giant empire.C) Its people died of hunger. D) It built many ships with wood.43. It is implied in the passage that the villager__________.A) wants fire wood B) wants to cut down treesC) wants to make money D) wants to take care of trees44. Which of the following is NOT the role trees play?A) Loosening the soil. B) Giving man the shade.C) Hardening the soil D) Keeping the soil in position.45. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A) Benefits of trees for soil. B) V arious uses of trees.C) Functions of soil for trees. D) People's attitudes toward trees.Section BDirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The study of history provides many benefits. First, we learn from the 46 . We may repeat mistakes, but, at least, we have the 47 to avoid them. Second, history teaches us what questions to 48 about the present. Contrary to some people's view, the study of history is not the memorization of names, dates, and places. It is the thoughtful 49 of the forces that have shaped the courses of human life. We can examine events from the past and then draw inferences about current events. History teaches us about likely 50 . Another benefit of the study of history is the 51 range of human experience which is covered. War and peace are 52 covered as are national and international affairs. However, matters of 53 (art, literature, and music) are also included in historical study.

React the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2Did you know that the invention of chewing gum (口香糖) was an accident? People have been chewing gum-like substances since the early times. Some were made from thickened resin(树脂), a substance that comes from plants. Others were made from grains and waxes. But chewing gum, as we know it today, was invented by mistake, in 1870 when Thomas Adams, a photographer, became friends with a Mexican military general, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.After Santa Anna defeated the Texans at the Alamo, he was forced to leave his home country Mexico. Santa Anna stayed with Thomas Adams in New Y ork and introduced him to a gummy substance people in Mexico liked to chew called chicle. Chicle was the milky substance from certain trees that grew in the tropical rain forests in Central America. Adams wanted to use the chicle to invent a cheaper substitute for rubber. He tried to make all sorts of items out of chicle, including toys and rubber boots, but each of his experiments failed.One day, while he was thinking about his failures, he remembered that people in Mexico chewed chicle. Curious, he put a piece of the chicle into his mouth and began to chew on it. Adams added licorice (甘草) to the chicle and opened the world's first chewing gum factory.Much like Adams's discovery of chewing gum, the invention of bubble gum was also an accident. In 1928, Walter Diemer, an accountant for the Fleer Gum Company in Philadelphia. stumbled upon the invention while experimenting with new recipes (配方) for chewing gum. Diemer created a gum that was less sticky and more stretchy than regular chewing gum. Diemer learned he could blow bubbles with this new gum.Accidents or not, chewing gum and bubble gum are two inventions that people across the globe like!Questions:76. People were able to acquire thickened resin from__________.77. In his experiments, Adams originally intended to replace rubber with78. The phrase "stumbled upon" (Para. 4) most probably means________79. Compared with regular chewing gums, bubble gums were__________80. The passage is mainly concerned with__________.Part IV Writing (15 marks, 30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Media and Shopping You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:1.当今,各种媒体非常发达, 人们通过媒体购物相当普遍:2.媒体购物给人们带来很多方便,同时也带来很多问题:3.我的看法.。
