I. Reading Comprehension (本大题共20 个小题,每空2 分,共40 分) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five 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. Passage 1 Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题准考证号姓名://///¤/////¤/////cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war, which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very differen t ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.1. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ____.A. friendlyB. impoliteC. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate2. The war in Iraq does _____ to the relationship between France and Britain.A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm3. The British are not so friendly to ______ and the French are not so friendly to ______.A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America 4. _______are more interested in having holidays in ______. A. American people…Britain B. British people …Germany C. French people …Britain D. British people …France 5. What does the last sentence mean? A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain. B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain. C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them. D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain. Passage 2 Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes —khaki pants and a sports shirt —to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “A nd I need to feel comfortable.” More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday ). This became known as “dress-down Friday ” or “casual Friday ”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题准考证号姓名://///¤/////¤/////everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owne r of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improvesemployee morale(心境,士气). Only 4 percent of employers saidthat casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “S uits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,”one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buya lot more casual clothes.”6. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,”because .A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes7. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company8. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.9. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty yearsago. B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s. C. “Dress-down Friday ” was first given as a favor from employers. D .Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people. 10. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT . A. saving employees ’ money B. making employees more attractive C. improving employees ’ motivation D. making employees happier Passage 3 A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush --often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you. You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point. The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题准考证号姓名://///¤/////¤/////return —be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Thosecoming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a caféor coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.11. Which of the following statements is wrong? ______A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.B. Americans attach less importance to patience.C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.12. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means ______.A. a less important thingB. a first concernC. a good businessD. an attractive gift13. Americans evaluate a business colleague ______.A. through social courtesyB. through prolonged business talksC. by establishing business relationsD. by learning about their past performance14. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. how Americans treasure their timeB. how busy Americans are every dayC. how Americans do business with foreignersD. what American way of life is like15. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is ______. A. critical B. ironical C. appreciative D. objective Passage 4 Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are, they’ll say, “Success.” The dream of individual opportunity has been home in American since Europeans discovered a “new world” in the Western Hemisphere. Early immigrants like Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers: in Letters from an American Farmer (1782) he wrote. “We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered (无拘无束的) and unrestrained, because each person works for himself ... We have no princes, for whom we toil (干苦力活), starve, and bleed: we are th e most perfect society now existing in the world.” The promise of a land where “the rewards of a man’s industry follow -- with equal steps the progress of his labor” drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion into the western territories. Our national mythology (神化) is full of illustration the American success story. There ’s Benjamin Franklin, the very model of the self-educated, self-made man, who rose from modest origins to become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. In the nineteenth century, Horatio Alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became American’s best -selling author with rags-to-riches tales. The notion of success haunts us: we spend million every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to “make a fortune in real estate with no money down,” and “dressing for success.” The myth of success has even invaded our personal relationships: today it’s as/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题准考证号 姓名: /////¤/////¤/////important to be “successful” in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business.But dreams easily turn into nightmares. Every American who hopes to “make it” also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success inevitably implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. Under pressure of the myth, we become indulged in status symbols: we try to live in the “right” neighborhoods, wear the “right” clothes, eat the “right” foods. These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all, yet strive as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens.16. What is the essence of the American Dream according to Crevecoeur?A. People are free to develop their power of imagination.B. People who are honest and work hard can succeed.C. People are free from exploitation and oppression.D. People can fully enjoy individual freedom.17. By saying “the rewards of a man’s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor” (Line 14, Para. 1), the author means ______.A. the more diligent one is, the bigger his returnsB. laborious work ensures the growth of an industryC. a man’s business should be developed step by stepD. a company’s success depends on its employees’ hard work18. The characters described in Horatio Alger’s novels are people who _____.A. succeed in real estate investmentB. earned enormous fortunes by chancesC. became wealthy after starting life very poorD. became famous despite their modest origins19. It can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph that ______.A. business success often contributes to a successful marriageB. Americans wish to succeed in every aspect of lifeC. good personal relationships lead to business successD. successful business people provide good care for their children20. What is the paradox (自相矛盾) of American culture according to the author? A. The American road to success is full of nightmares. B. Status symbols are not a real indicator of a person’s wealth. C. The American Dream is nothing but an empty dream. D. What Americans strive after often contradicts their beliefs. II. Cloze (本大题共15个小题,每小题1分,共15分) Directions: There are fifteen blanks in this passage. For each blank, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D at the bottom of the passage. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Of all the websites, one that has attracted attention recently is .

I've been married for years, but until six months ago, I couldbe a typical absent-minded husband. Often I was just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, <u>" Did you even hear what I just said?"</u>I would defensively say, " Of course I did!"In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeksof my recovery.Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two—year—old son looked puzzled because I wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't. Luckily, I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.When I got home, I noriced a"side effect" : as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn't just hearing her: I was listening to her. Over the next few weeks, I didn't want to miss a word she said. I began to hear sweetness in her voice. It had never left. I'd just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previouslydismissed as" things I just don't get as a guy". I also realized my son wasn't just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks, I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now, not because I'm talking more. I'm just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.33 According to the passage, the author is most likely a______.(A)journalist(B)doctor(C)driver(D)teacher34 What does the wife mean by asking" Did you even hear what I just said?" in Paragraph 1 ?(A)You didn't have to nod while you were listening.(B)You should tell me what I said iust now.(C)You should listen to me.(D)You didn't want to talk with me.35 What is true of the author after the surgery?(A)He was unwilling to talk to his wife.(B)He was unable to communicate with his son.(C)He was required to keep silent for the first few months.(D)He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.36 What did the author realize after the surgery?(A)His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.(B)His son didn't like talking.(C)His wife was a talkative woman.(D)His house was full of pleasant talks.36 Coconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons. It is one of the largest<u>edible</u> seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both" meat" and" water" inside. The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings: the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese (葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco , meaning" ghost" in their language. The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses. It is used to make various cooking oils for fast-food restaurants around the world to make diet materials. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage fight off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks. Even the shell itself has many uses, including animal food and fertilizer.Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food. Coconut oil is used for cosmetics(化妆品) , medicines, and so on. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool for shining wood floors. The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird houses.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut tree, which produces the nut, also produces many useful things.

For most cars,the answer is petrol. 21_some cars use electricity.These cars have 22 motors that get their power from large batteries.In 23 ,there are even cars that have 24 an electric motor and a petrol motor.These types of cars are 25 hybrid(混合)cars.Most people tend to think of electric cars as a new 26 ,but they have been around for a long time.In the 27 19th and early 20th centuries electric cars were common because the technology for petrol engines was not very advanced.But 28 the petrol engine became easier to make and more powerful,this type of engines became the most 29 .Interest in electric cars was high in the l970s and 1980s because 30 became very expensive.Recently,electric cars have again become well-liked because people want cars that pollute 31 . Electric cars are better than petrol cars 32 several ways.The biggest benefit is reduced pollution.In areas 33 there is a high percentage of electric cars,pollution is not that serious.The second benefit of electric cars is a 34 in the dependence on foreign oil.Several countries don’t want to 35 on oil from other countries.Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power stations,there is less need to import oil.

Conversation in our house is better now,not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.(本题12分)1(单选题)According to the passage,the author is most likely a __________ .(本题3分)A driverB teacherC doctorD Journalist标准答案: D2(单选题)What does the wif e mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?(本题3分)A Yon should listen to me.B You didn’t want to talk with me.C You should tell me what I said just now.D You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.标准答案: A3(单选题) What is true of the author after the surgery?(本题3分)A He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C He was unable to communicate with his son.D He was unwilling to talk to his wife.标准答案: C4(单选题)What did the author realize after the surgery?(本题3分)A His wife was a talkative woman.B His house was full of pleasant talks.C His son didn’t like talking.D His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.标准答案: B23(阅读理解题)根据材料回答问题:Passage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water” inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar,as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water isa white and sweet liquid.Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco,meaning “ghost” in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face,and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates,providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses,including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree, which produces the nut,also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.(本题12分)1(单选题)What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?(本题3分)A Visible.B Collectible.C AvailableD Eatable.标准答案: D2(单选题)The coconut got its name becauseof __________ .(本题3分)A its hard shellB its white colorC its ghostlike appearanceD its round shape标准答案: C3(单选题)What is the passage mainly about?(本题3分)A The history of coconut.B Uses of coconut.C The discovery of coconut.D Types of coconut seeds标准答案: B4(单选题)What can be learned from the passage?(本题3分)A Coconut trees are useful plants.B Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.标准答案: A24(阅读理解题)根据材料回答问题:Passage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad:others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Stati stics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular? Homestay means living with a family,or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher;select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location,interests,language level,eating requirements,allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs,good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--andalthough you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out,you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money,it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible.But if you plan to learn English,why not have your English classes in your host family.There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined withthe cultural experience !(本题12分)1(单选题)Homestay is an ideal choice for studentswho __________ .(本题3分)A plan to visit relativesB want to stay at homeC plan to study overseasD want to learn statistics标准答案: C2(单选题)Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?(本题3分)A The English teacher.B The placement organization.C The host family.D The language school.标准答案: B3(单选题)Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?(本题3分)A Nationality of the host family.B Eating habits of the host family.C Students’language level.D Students’specific needs.标准答案: D4(单选题)What can be inferred from the passage?(本题3分)A The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.标准答案: A25(阅读理解题)根据下面材料回答问题:Passage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think,saving you money while creating a heathier,more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating,lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it,but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it,head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust.While clothes dryers get the job done faster,they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days,install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desknear the window,then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home,heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances,select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.(本题12分)1(单选题)What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?(本题3分)A Having a healthier living environment.B Improving your work efficiency.C Keeping old habits unchanged.D Enlarging your living space.标准答案: A2(单选题)Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?(本题3分)A It may help to build a greenhouse.B It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.标准答案: B3(单选题)What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light? (本题3分)A Blinds.B Curtains.C Windows.D Shades.标准答案: C4(单选题)Besides energy-efficiency,what else should be considered when replacing appliances?(本题3分)A Replacing time.B Reasonable price.C Good quality.D Proper size.标准答案: D26(阅读理解题)根据下面材料回答问题:Passage FiveAs we recently discovered,there is a Stepmother’s Day,though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So,it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads,too.Right? Well,it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say,for example,“It’s on father’sday--father’s day is for fathers,step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says,“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately,as of the publishing of this article,only 30 people have “liked” the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men,or 11.1%of U.S.fathers,live with at least one stepchild,that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978.Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives,they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders,the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” A nd yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days ofhonor.Perhaps if we are loud enough,President Obama,who had a stepfather himself,will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!(本题12分)1(单选题)What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?(本题3分)A Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B 30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C 3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D 11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.标准答案: B2(单选题)What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?(本题3分)A The National Grandparents’Day.B The National Grandchildren’s Day.C The National Stepparents’Day.D The Nati onal Stepchildren’s Day.标准答案: A3(单选题)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 ?.(本题3分)A Unbelievable.B ToughC Lasting.D Inevitable.标准答案: D4(单选题)What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?(本题3分)A Because they love their role as stepparents.B Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage oneUndoubtedly, leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in modem society, where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment .One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one. He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 Yuan (just under 4. 50 dollars)-ten times the price of a filament( 灯丝) bulb-but he wanted to save energy as part of hislow-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 Yuanhe was spending.Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price.Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost.It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative- whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2), emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a higlr-carton life in the future. The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility"-a basis of sustainable development-can be applied here as well.In China, low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure. Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home.31.What may probably be the best title of this passage? .A.To Purchase a Cheap Bulb--Your Wise AlternativeB.T o Choose an Energy -saving Residence- a Must of Your LifeC.T o Live a Low-carbon Lifestyle-a Promising but Difficult PurposeD.T o Live a low-carbon Lifestyle-Each Citizen's Responsibility32.Why did the writer’s colleague get an energy-saving light bulb? .A. He wanted to save some moneyB. He wanted to try living his low-cabon lifestyleC. He was asked to do so by some organizationsD. He wanted to use a more powerful light bulb33.The underlined phrase "blew up", in paragraph 2, is closest in meaning to .A. improved a lotB. saved much energyC. got outdatedD. broke down34.We can infer from the passage that .ing energy -saving bulbs and appliances is a fashionB.not all citizens have the same responsibility-live a low –carbon lifestyleC.it's difficult for most Chinese to try to live a low-carbon lifestyleD.Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence35.What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?A. supportive but cautiousB. optimistic and entertainingC. negative but wiseD. Positive and activePassage TwoAccording to certain research, highway crashes can be cut by optical illusion(错觉).Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using B simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons( 人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are thegreatest-curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear lo be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.36.Drivers tend to feel that on roads painted with chevrons.A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they are approaching the speed limitD. they should slow down their speed37.The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former .A. will have a longer effect on driversB. can cut road accidents in halfC. can keep drivers awakeD. will look more attractive38.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to .A. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsB. change the road signs across the countryC. try out the Japanese method in certain areasD. repeat the Japanese road patterns39.What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads? .A.They are falling out of use in the United StatesB.They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of timeC.They are applicable only on broad roadsD.They cannot be applied suecessfully to traffic circles40.The passage mainly discusses .A. a new type of optical illusionB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training driversD. a new way of highway speed controlPassage ThreeAs well as peers of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a Community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may he famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more morally abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr, we might still have segregated( 隔离的)buses restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magenetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.41.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .A. are often influenced by previous generationsB. all unknowingly attract a large number of fansC. generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsD. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people42.According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that .A.they have warm feelings and emotionsB.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesC.they can make people feel stronger and more confidentD.they have a vision from the mountaintop43.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not regarded as heroes because .A.their primary concern is their own financial interestsB.they are not clear about the principles they should followC.they are popular only among certain groups of peopleD.their performances do not improve their fans morally44.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who .A.can move the masses with their distinctive charm and skillB.are good at demonstrating their charming charactersC.can provide an answer to the problems of their peopleD.are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships45.The author concludes that historical changes would .A.take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleB.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesC.not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesD.produce leader with attractive personalitiesPassage FourAfter graduation, I was assigned to teach a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. "Wait a minute" someone might say, "are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class, I'm Mr. Davis. Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit.

Questions 51—55 are based on the following passage :Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts (蝗虫). But birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors along with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible (看不见的)to the hunters’eyes. because they have the colors much like the barks of trees(树皮).An even stranger act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed (存在)up to now though it is not powerful at all.51.

Make sure you have installed(安装)the appropriate Reader before you download an E-book from the Internet. The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like.

The passage is mainly about__________.A. a better way to write an E-bookB. a new kind of books—E-booksC. the new version of E-booksD. the trouble of reading E-booksQuestions 61—65 are based on the following passage :Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields(盾)toward the sun. The flashes reflecting light could be seen several miles away. The enemies did not know what the flashes meant, but Greek soldiers could understand the messages.Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums(鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.Over a long period of time, people sent messages in these different ways.
