Since then, innumerable children 32 in front of the set. However, many people now worry about the effect of TV on the young. They wonder there had never been 33 invention. Why are they soafraid? Is television really harmful?Like almost anything else, television has its good as well as its bad sides. It has 34 joyand interest into the lives of the old, the sick, and the lonely. Without it, some of these people would have little pleasure and no window 35 the world.Unfortunately, some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough 36 . They do not realize that TV programs often show an unreal world. Commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe them and want to 37 what they see on TV. They believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap—or some other product. They believe that the murders on TV 38 are normal and acceptable. By the time they are out of high school, most young people have watched about 15,000 hours of television, and have seen about 18,000 violent 39 . If they see violent deaths every day, how can they be shocked by murder in real life?Television has certainly changed our lives and our society. 40 its good points, it has brought many problems. We must find a solution to these problems because—whether we like it or not—television is here to stay.31-35：DCCDB 36A 37:imitate 38：A 39：B 40：D31. A. brought B. took C. did D. made32.

And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor 42 he has a car.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. 43 of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 44 form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 45 the United States never developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public 46 . Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service 47 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is 48 really made cars popular. Americans d on’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to 49 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want 50 to have. 41-45：ABACB 46-50：DCBAB41. A. Without a car B. Not with a car C. Without no car D. With not a car42. A. although B. when C. whether D. but43.

Reading ComprehensionSection A:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some true-false questions. Decide whether each of them is true (T) or false (F).Passage 1In the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the "Lusitania", which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $300,000 or more. The ship, lying on the sea-bed has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.T51. Divers try to bring up metals because some kinds of them are worth a lot of money.T52. Now divers still search for valuable things and try to bring to the earth surface the ships themselves.F53. John Light hopes he may be able to sell the whole ship of “Lusitania” for more than $1.5 million.F54. The ship “Lusitania” sank off the southwestern coast of Ireland with a lot of people drowned. F55. In the past, divers hoped to bring up everything of a sunken ship except metals.Passage 2More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. In the past, work for most people involved manual labor in the fresh open air of the fields. However, nowadays an increasing number of people are employed in offices or factories. Their daily work does not provide them with the amount of exercise their bodies need. Therefore, they have come to spend part of their free time doing regular physical exercise.There are many different forms of exercise to suit different tastes. For example, those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games. Those who prefer to exercise alone can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. Besides, people can go swimming in summerand go skating in winter. In short, no matter what their interests are, people can always find one or more sports that are suitable to them.However, the form of physical exercise must be chosen carefully. More harm than good will result if people choose the wrong form of exercise. For the aged, Qigong or Tai Ji Quan will suit them better than competitive sports. Those who have little spare time may have a regular run in the morning. Only if the kind of exercise is chosen properly and performed regularly, willit benefit people’s health, work and study.T56. Nowadays, more people realize the importance of physical exercise.F57. It is unnecessary to take some exercise every day.T58. People who enjoy competitive sports may take up basketball or football.F59. Physical exercise can do more harm than good to people because they will feel tired after it. T60.People can always find one or more sports that benefit their health, work and study.IV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.61. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.他回答了我，但是他说的既不慢也不清楚。

The object of the game is to carry forward or pass (that is, throw from one person to another) the football across the opponent’s goal or scoring line. He who has not attended a large college football game has missed one of the most colourful sides of American college life.Excellent high school football players are usually encouraged to come to a college or university by offers of scholarship and free room and board.Attendance at football games is so large that it is not unheard of for a college or university to provide money for its sport from ticket sales.36.

They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact，the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.To remember words better，you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see，hear，or read something，it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many，many books. And like a library，it’s organized（有条理的）. When you putaway a book-or memory-you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.How can you do this with vocabulary？The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better，you can invent a little story about the word，with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example，if the word is height，you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.1. In the writer’s opinion，students can’t remember words because _______.A. they have memory problemsB. they are too worriedC. they don’t use a proper wayD. they don’t like to study2. Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage？A. Short-term memory is seldom used.B. What we see goes into long-term memory first.C. We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.D. We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.3. The underlined（划线的）part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________.A. keeps many books like a large libraryB. works like a well-organized libraryC. provides any book you wantD. leaves memory anywhere4. Which is one example of“thinking about the word in new ways in Paragraph 3？A. Making sentences with the word.B. Listening to some familiar stories.C. Talking with people that you know.D. Drawing pictures of the word on paper.5. This passage mainly tells us about ________.A. language students’ problems in studyB. how to make the meaning of words strongerC. short-term and long-term memoryD. how to improve ways to remember wordsThis is my first year attending Wilson Middle School. Last year I went to a differentmiddle school. Over the summer my father got a new job, so our whole family moved. Now I go to Wilson.I want to make some comments based on my unique perspective as someone who has attended two different middle schools. For example, I was surprised by all the complaints that the students at Wilson make about the food in the cafeteria. Either they don’t like it, or they want more choices. But I like the food. The dishes are pretty tasty. And as for choices, at the school I went to last year there were never more than two lunch options each day. Sometimes there was only one!However, I don’t want anyone to think that I have a negative opinion of the Wilson students. Actually, I have been impressed with how involved the students here are. I plan to participate in some of the special clubs here that are organized by students, like the photography club and the hiking club. At my last school, students were not as actively involved in forming clubs.6. Why is the author a student at Wilson Middle School?A Because his family recently movedB Because his father is a teacher thereC Because it is the best school in the areaD Because he just completed primary school7. In the second paragraph, the word perspective is closest in meaning to _______.A cause and effectB back and forthC out of dateD point of view8. In the second paragraph, the word “one” refers to _______.A dayB schoolC optionD cafeteria9. Why does the author like the food at Wilson Middle School?A It tastes good.B It is very healthful.C The servings are large.D Students help to make it.10. What does the author imply about the students at his previous school compared to students at Wilson Middle School?A They did better in their studies.B They planned fewer activities.C They belonged to sports clubs.D They gave him more help.Passage 3Cricket—how I detested this game when I was young! My family would spend hours and hours watching it on television while I angrily waited for it to end. Every game seemed the same. Yes, one team won and the other one lost, but it was always the same game—some men pitching a ball, some running back and forth.Then something happened. I became old enough to start playing cricket myself withthe other kids in my neighborhood. We found a place to play wherever we could put up a wicket. We played on the street, in the backyard—even on the tops of buildings, believe it or not!I can recall so clearly the sounds of the ball hitting the bat and the quick running feet. I can still feel the sun on my face as I played and the bruises and scratches from falling down. I can still see the blue sky fading to darkness behind the buildings as our games continued into the night. It became my favorite thing in the world. Now I watch it not with anger, but with fond memories of the endless days and nights spent playing the game.11. What title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A Cricket: A Game for All AgesB How I Learned to Love CricketC The Dangers of Playing CricketD Learning the Rules of a Difficult Game12 . In the first paragraph, the word detested is closest in meaning to _______.A hatedB playedC wantedD watched13.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them 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.Questions31 to 35 are based on the following passage:What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways ---or tools ---of learning that are different from those of those others? The answer is no. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power saw is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.Th e scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the condition permit. What works under one set of conditionsat one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was latter tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurement. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.31. Albert Einstein built up his theory of relatively through .A. investigationB. experimentsC. testsD. mathematics32. A sound scientific theory should be one that .A. works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other timesB. leaves no room for improvementC. does not allow any change even under different conditionsD. can be used for many purposes33. “…Knowing how to investigate, how to discovered information, is important to everyone.” The author says this to show .A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and ordinary people34. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Scientists are different from ordinary people.B. The theory of relativity.C. Exactness is the core of science.D. Exactness and way of using tools are the key to the making of a scientist.35. What, according to the passage, makes a scientist?A. The tools he uses.B. His ways of learning.C. The way he uses his tools.D. The various tools he uses.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement，both physically and morally. Being a good youth，one should have those factors：the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly，we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover，we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly，cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others，including those people you don’t like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least，patriotism，meaning a love of one’s country，is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact，a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing，being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.36. A good youth should help others _________.A. willinglyB. at his convenienceC. if he wants toD. with complaints37. In the author’s opinion，the patriots must ________ .A. fight for the countryB. learn everythingC. do what their country needs them to doD. protect their family and country38. From the passage，we can know that cooperation and communication are ______.A. good for some introvertsB. helpful to usC. important to everyoneD. not necessary to good friends39. The passage really wants to tell us that ________.A. what the meaning of “patriots” isB. the qualities a good youth should haveC. a youth should be doing goodD. one should help others40. The first thing a good youth should have is ___________.A. the best lookingB. the best richesC. the good abilityD. a healthy bodyQuestions41 to 45 are based on the following passage:In England and Wales alone, over 7,000 people each year die in home accidents. Old people have special safety problems. Falling a is potential hazard: for example, 1,468 women over 75 in England and Wales died in the one year after falling—not downstairs, but on the same level. There are a number of ways of guarding against this: avoiding hard things on the floor, like steel fenders and knobby furniture, avoiding trip-traps like rug edges, door mats and trailing wires, using special non-slip polishes for floors, if they can’t be carpeted, above all, making sure there is enough light. The older you get, the more light you need to see properly. An old person may need four or five times as much light as a child to see as clearly, even wearing spectacles. It is rare to find a home with enough light, especially in corridors and on stairs. Stairs, for example, fatally trip 700 to 800 people a year, most of them old. A 60-watt bulb just is not bright enough.Young children, too, have special problems. Nearly 200 are accidentally smothered(使窒息) each year in bed. Many of the hundreds of cases of accidental poisoning each year are of children, and the commonest source of all fires in the home is a child playing with fire or with matches. The government tried every possible means to prevent them from happening.41. What is the main subject of the passage?A) Safety problem for the old.B) Falling is the fatal cause of death for the old.C) Ways of guarding against falling.D) Children’s problems.42. According to the passage, the floor for the old should be .A) smooth but not too slipperyB) polished with some special non-slip polishesC) carpetedD) both A and B43. Which of the following statements in NOT true?A) The author provides a lot of details about the problems of the old.B) The author lays much emphasis on the details so as to bring out the importance in ways of preventing the old from falling.C) The problems of children are not fully discussed as those of the old.D) Children’s problems, comparatively speaking, are more serious than the old’s.44. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A) People pay enough attention to lighting their rooms, especially the corridors and the stairs.B) Corridors and stairs are usually dimmer than rooms.C) People pay less attention to giving enough light to the corridors and stairs, let alone the rooms.D) A 60-watt bulb is just bright enough.45. The tone the author used in this passage is .A) subjectiveB) objectiveC) heavily-biased towards the oldD) authoritativePart ⅢClose (20%)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C), D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.One day, drought may be a thing of the past at least in coastal cities. Vast areas of desert throughout the world may for the first time __46__ to life and provide millions of acres of __47__ where now nothing grows.By the end of this century this may not be mere __48__. Scientists are already looking for the __49__ of using some of the available ice in the polar regions. In these regions there are vast ice-caps formed by snow __50__ over the past 50,000 years. Layer __51__ layer of deep snow means that, when melted, the snow water would be pure, not salty __52__ sea-ice would be. There is so much potential pure water here __53__ it would need only a fraction of it to turn much of the desert or poorly irrigated parts of the world __54__ rich farmland. And what useful packages it would come in! It should be __55__ to cut off a bit of ice and transport it!__56__ perhaps a passing iceberg could be captured. They are always breaking away from the main caps __57__ around, pushed by currents, until they eventually melt and are wasted. Many icebergs are, of course, far too __58__ to be towed any distance, and would melt before they reached a country that needed them anywhere. It would be necessary to __59__ one that was manageable and that was big enough to provide a good supply of ice when it __60__ us. Engineers think that an iceberg up to seven miles long and one a half miles wide could be transported __61__ the tug pulling it was as big as a supertanker!

It has rich natural resources and people are friendly.I lived there till I left home for a senior high school in Himeji at the age of 17. I had ten brothers and sisters, and I was the fifth child. Growing up in a lively family taught me competition and cooperation. For example, when my mother placed a bamboo basket filled with green soybean s on the table, everyone’s hands would instantly reach out. If you didn’t pay attention, you would eat nothing. So I learned the spirit of free competition as a small child. And yet at the same time, my mother told us to be polite when addressing each othe r by adding “Mr. or Mrs.” to the end of names.I keep the memory of my hometown in mind. I still remember the time when weenjoyed the festival at hometown. I am grateful that I was born and grew up in Nakajo-machi.41.

And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. It’s important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other. To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.First, always stand when making an introduction. When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.Second, always maintain eye contact while making an introduction. Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image.What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other person’s name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself. By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us. The other person should be forgiving.46. According to the passage, people will think you are _______ if you don’t makeeye contact with them.A. dishonestB. unconfidentC. uncomfortableD. unfriendly47. When introducing your former classmate Mike to your teacher Mary Bush, youshould say“________”A. Hi, Mary Bush is my teacher, the most important person.B. Mike, do you want to know my teacher’s name?C. Hello. This is Mike and this is Mary.D. Ms. Bush, may I introduce to you Mike, my former classmate?48. If you forget the other person’s name, you’d better ________.A. directly ask for the person’s nameB. apologize first and then ask him/herC. shake hands with the person and reintroduce yourselfD. give advice to the person for him/her to follow49. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Stand when making an introduction.B. Maintain eye contact while making an introduction.C.

Hundreds of thousands of people gather in the cold. They crowd together and wait for midnight. It feels like a huge party.The people count down the final seconds. “Ten…nine…eight…” All eyes watch a huge glass ball as it slides down a pole on top of a tall building. Someone in the crowd says it looks like a bright piece of snow. Someone else says it looks like thousands of stars. This is a famous Times Square tradition.When the ball reaches bottom, it is twelve o'clock. People shout “Happy New Year!”. There is lots of excitement. More than a ton of confetti（五彩纸屑）, little pieces of paper, rains down on the crowd.The crowd does its duty and tries to sing "Auld Lang Syne," a traditional song offriendship at the New Year. Most people only know the first few words. The song is pretty much a mystery. But a fun mystery.People arrive in Times Square while it is still daylight. After dark, at about six o’clock, the New Year’s Eve ball is raised to its highest position. By this time thousands of people are gathered for the celebration ahead.They ooh and aah when the thousands of little lights in the ball come on. Then everyone waits for midnight.

Americans arrange the table and food for the number of guests they have invited.Americans are particular about time. But they do not expect you to come “on time”, rather 15 minutes later than the time specified. For instance, if you are invited to come at six, the host will expect you no earlier than that time and probably no later than fifteen minutes after six.It is an American custom to show guests around the house, but they do not expect you to touch everything you see. If you are interested in something you see, you should ask for permission to touch it.At the table, conversation is general, but you should comment about how good the food is. If you truly do not like the food, you may say something about how nice it looks or ask how it is prepared.Except on a very formal occasion, it is all right to help yourself to more food. Do not wait to be helped every time you finish something. If you truly want something, do not say “No” for the sake of politeness.56. The best title for this passage is _____.A. Arranging for MealsB.

First of all, arrive roughly on time (but not early). Being a few minutes late might give the cook more time to finish preparing the dinner, so it’s OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be overcooked by then. When you’re invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s polite to bring a gift. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host and hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.If you are served some food you don’t like or can’t eat, don’t make a fuss a bout it. If your host doesn’t say anything about what you aren’t eating, then you shouldn’t, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices what you’ve left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit you don’t eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you’ve enjoyed the other foods and have had “more than enough” to eat. Don’t make the cook feel obliged (被迫) to prepare something else for you. Be sure to praise the cook on the food you’ve enjoyed.Don’t leave immediately after dinner, but don’t overstay your welcome (做客时间过久)，either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue (暗示) to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.36. If you are served some food you don’t like, you should_____.A. just eat what you canB. force yourself to eat it upC. tell the host that you don’t like itD. ask the cook to prepare something else37.

Continue your conversation when your friend is tired.38.

For example, if I came home after eating lots of chocolate cakes at the neighbor’s house, she would look at me and say, “How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn’t eat between meals?”I would look at her amazed. How could she see across the street and through the walls of my friend’s house, while she was cleaning the bathroom floor?“How did you know that?” I asked, wiping crumbs (碎屑) from my chin.“A mother always knows,” she said, “I can read your forehead.”And the further away from home I was, the more she seemed to know. I arrived at college for my freshman year, feeling lost and homesick. As I settled down on the dormitory bed for a good cry, my mother walked in the door.“You forgot your pillow (枕头),” she said and handed me the very one I had used the night before.I had done my own packing and had shut the door to my room when we left the house to drive to college. How could she possibly see sixty miles away what I really wanted? Answering my unspoken question she said,“A mother always knows.”46.
