AWhen I was growing up in the 1930s, the period of the Great Depression, I didn't think of our family as poor, even though we never seemed to have money. I lived on a small farm in Pennsylvania with my parents, two elder sisters, and a younger brother. We had an old horse, a cow, a few pigs, some chickens, and a big garden. Food was not a problem. We had our own supply of milk, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and Momma's homemade bread.As a boy of nine, I had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what it meant to live during hard times. The weekly newspaper would carry pictures of people standing in line for bread, and the evening broadcast would tell about the huge number of jobless people and their hardships. But these reports referred to people in the cities, and we lived in the country. We never went to bed hungry, and we didn't stand in line for bread.Although my father was fortunate to have a job at the feed mill (饲料加工厂), eighteen dollars a week was only enough to pay the electric bill and to buy necessities. Momma earned a few dollars baking pies and bread.To make nightclothes, Momma used the cotton bags in which the food for our chickens came. It wasn't until years later when my high-school class went on an overnight trip that I got my first store-bought nightwear.When a piece of clothing was worn out, it wasn't thrown away. First,all the buttons were removed, grouped by size and colour, and put in cans or glass jars. Then the clothing was examined, and the best parts were saved for making rugs (地毯). Almost nothing in our house was thrown away.Although we tend to think of recycling as something fairly new, in the 1930s it was par t of everyday life. “Waste not, want not” was a familiar and often repeated phrase during those Depression years.语篇解读本文是记叙文。

The scientists think a large earthquake and flooding probably destroyed the ancient settlement where they were discovered.Unlike modern Chinese noodles and Italian pasta (意大利面食) that are made mostly of wheat, the 4,000-year-old variety consisted of millet（黍）which is native to China.Wheat was not introduced from central and western Asia to northwestern China until about 5,000 years ago. “Archaeological evidence suggests that even though wheat was present in northwestern China 4,500 to 5,000 years ago, it was not commonly grown until much later,” Lu said.36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. World’s earliest noodles found in ChinaB. The origin o f Chinese noodlesC. The difference between Chinese noodles and Italian noodlesD. The history of Chinese noodles37. Until the discovery, it was generally believed that ____.A. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in ChinaB. the world’s oldest kno wn noodles were made in ItalyC. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the Middle EastD. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the East Han Dynasty38. According to the discovery, noodles were first made in China ____.A. 5,000 years agoB. between 25 and 220C. around 2,000 BCD. during the Middle Ages39. Which can be used as the evidence that world’s oldest noodles came from China?A. Chinese noodles are made mostly of wheat.B. Italian pasta is made mostly of millet.C. The unearthed noodles were made of millet which is native to China.D. Wheat was not commonly grown in China until about 5,000 years ago.40. We might see this passage in ____.A. an essayB. an advertisementC. a newspaperD. a magazineBCharlotte Thun-Hohenstein, 17, says that she is not yet ready to decide whether to choose a science or an arts subject when she goes to university.She is taking A levels in chemistry, maths, Latin and history, and would love to continue studying as many of them as possible at degree level.Charlotte, who attends St Paul’s Girls’School in Hammersmith, West London, is applying only to universities in the United States because they offer a broader curriculum (课程) and do notforce students to specialise until after the first year. She has applied to seven American universities, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown.She said: “I want to go to the US because I don’t know what to study. I enjoy both arts and sciences. The US is much broader. They encourage you to take many courses and you end up choosing a major. In the first year you explore what interests you.”“I’m not applying to any British universities. I want to go to the US because of the breadth of study and also the extracurricular（课外的）life.”“I love singing, music in general, and community service. My friend and I have set up a choir at a local primary school, and we lead discussions on moral issues and organize creative activities for the lower school. I play the piano in a swing band and sing in school productions.”“I think there is more on offer in the US and the opportunities are more diverse.”“There is still a huge difference in the US and British fees, but I’m very lucky I don’t have to worry about that. The US universities do have incredibly extensive financial support for those who need it.”“I hope that there’s a strong international community wherever I end up studying.”41. In the passage, Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein mainly talks about ____.A. her puzzle in choosing subjects at collegeB. why she chooses to study in an American universityC. the difference between British and American educationD. her favorite subjects at middle school42. In Britain, university students ____.A. have to choose a specialized subject in the first yearB. are allowed to choose any subject they likeC. can choose their favorite subject in the second yearD. are only allowed to study a certain subject all through the college years43. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein wants to study in an American university mainly because ____.A. she wants to learn more advanced technologyB. she can get extensive financial supportC. she can find her real interest in the first yearD. she can meet more international students44. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein has to ____ if she wants to study in an American university.A. pay higher feesB. do more community serviceC. drop some of her interestsD. adapt herself to a diverse life45. It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein _____.A. has strong ambitionB. has no idea of her ownC. has unrealistic expectationD. has broad interestsCPresident Bush may talk about a mission (使命) to Mars, but Bruce Jones is betting there is still a healthy thirst for exploration into underwater worlds on our own planet.Jones, who has spent 17 years designing and selling submarines (潜水艇) for private use, has $40 million invested to build a luxurious (奢侈的) hotel.Unlike the Jules Undersea Lodge—the only undersea hotel now in existence—guests at the Poseidon won’t need to put on a wet suit and dive to their rooms. They also won’t need to worry about changing pressure levels since the hotel will be maintained at above-surface pressure.Instead, they can go to their $1,500-a-night underwater rooms by lift.“I thin k there are a great number of people who would be interested,” said Jones, “including anyone who is looking for a different experience.”It sounds impressive, but will it happen? It’s hard to say, considering Jones’ project is only one of the latest great ideas to expand real estate under the sea.His company features luxurious submarines ranging in price from $1 million to $80 million. Having been in the business for a while, Jones claims he has a realistic sense of what it takes to start an underwater business project. As he says, when it comes to meeting regulations for his submarine fleet, “The paperwork ends up weighing as much as the submarine.”For his part, Craig Cooper, the operations director for the Aquarius research station, hopes at least one of the latest project proposals comes to fruition. “By now I envisioned we’d have entire underwater cities. It’s about time some of these visions (想像) became reality,” Cooper said.46. Why does the writer mention President Bush in the first paragraph?A. It was he who first suggested the underwater exploration.B. The writer stressed the exploration into underwater worlds can win support from Bush.C. The president’s talk is to bring in the story of the underwater hotel.D. The writer wants to compare missions to Mars with underwater hotels.47. This passage is mainly about ____.A. the plan to build a luxurious hotel under the seaB. Jones’ plan to build underwater citiesC. the conditions of the luxurious hotelD. the greatest underwater project in history48. Which of the following statements about Jones’ underwater hotel is NOT mentioned?A. The pressure will be kept in the hotel as high as that on the ground.B. The hotel will be equipped with lift so that guests need no wet suits.C. Every room will cost guests at least $ 1,500 per night.D. Jones’ underwater hotel will be as expensive as the Jules Lodge.49. The underlined word “envisioned” in the last paragraph means “____”.A. supposedB. dreamedC. predictedD. wished50. From the passage we can see ____.A. the hotel has already been in useB. the hotel will be the largest oneC. it is easy to build the underwater hotelD. Jones is optimistic about the hotelDCalifornia ground squirrels and rock squirrels chew up rattlesnake (响尾蛇) skin and spread it on their fur to mask their scent (气味) from snakes, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.Barbara Clucas, a graduate student in animal behavior at UC Davis, observed ground squirrels and rock squirrels applying snake scent to themselves by picking up pieces of shed (被脱下的) snakeskin, chewing it and then licking their fur.Adult female squirrels and juveniles (少年) apply snake scent more often than adult males, which are less likely to be attacked by snakes, Clucas said. The scent probably helps to mask the squirrel’s own scent, especially when the animals are asleep in their burrows（洞穴）at night, or to persuade a snake that another snake is in the burrow.The squirrels are not limited to the use of shed snake skins, said Donald Owings, a professor of psychology at UC Davis who is Clucas’ adviser and an author on the paper. They also pick up snake scent from soil and other surfaces on which snakes have been resting, and use that to apply scent.Snake-scent application is one of a remarkable package of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes, Owings said. In earlier work, Owings’ lab has found that squirrels can heat up their tails to send a warning signal to rattlesnakes, which can “see” in the infrared rays（红外线）and judge how dangerous a particular snake is, based on the sound of its rattle. In addition, work by Owings’colleague, psychology professor Richard Coss, has shown that these squirrels have developed resistance to snake venom（毒液）.“It’s a nice example of the opportunism of animals,” Owings said. “They’re turning the tables on the snake.”51. The two kinds of California squirrels mentioned in the passage apply snake scent to ____.A. make themselves poisonous to snakesB. frighten snakes awayC. develop resistance to snake venomD. cover up their own smell52. Adult female squirrels and juveniles apply snake scent more often because ____.A. they are more likely to be caught and eaten by snakesB. they have a stronger body smell themselvesC. they spend more time sleeping in their burrowsD. they are can be seen more easily by snakes53. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Other findings on squirrels by Owings’ colleague.B. Other means of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes.C. The most effective defense squirrels use against rattlesnakes.D. Examples of the opportunism of animals.54. According to Owings, squirrels heat up their tails to ____.A. cheat a snakeB. send off infrared raysC. warn the snakeD. give other squirrels warning signals55. The passage implies that a snake traces squirrels mainly by their ____.A. heatB. scentC. figuresD. shadows第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分25分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Every year there seems to be a certain craze which sweeps across Britain, whether through clever marketing or competition pressure, so that practically every child in the country wants the same thing for Christmas.Of course, with thousands of parents trying to make their children’s Christmas, it’s quite easy for the most popular presents to get sold out before __________. This leads parents to go to extraordinary lengths to find the desired gift.In past years, the most favoured toys have included Tracy Island, from the TV series Thunderbirds, and Buzz Lightyear, from t he film Toy Story. These years’ must-have present is the Nintendo Wii, an indication that British children are becoming more and more technologically knowledgeable. Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related toTV programmes, such as popular science-fiction series Doctor Who, and pre-school sensation In the Night Garden, as well as the main character from the movie Transformers.As parents desperately (不顾一切地) search shops and online retailers for the gifts their children want, some people are making money from it. Those who predicted the trends (趋势) bought some of the top presents earlier in the year, and can now sell them for great profits on online auction (拍卖) websites.Special websites have been set up to inform parents as soon as a certain item becomes available anywhere. But with so many people signing up it’ll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they are sold out again.Some children will unavoidably be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let’s hope that the chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.76. What’s the best title for the passage? (within 10 words)77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?As a result, parents will try their best to get what their child want for Christmas.78. Please fill the blank in Para. 2 with proper words or phrases. (within 10 words)79. For what reason will some children be disappointed on Christmas morning? (within 10 words)80.

That year I was six. In class I learned basic phrases for greeting and describing objects. I don't have much memory for the first year of English learning. The only thing that I still remember is reading vocabulary list. A classmate of mine who was good at English would lead the whole class to read the list. One of the new wo rds that I learned that year was “earth”. “The earth orbits the sun，” he said in Chinese. Every time we came to the word “earth”，he would repeat that sentence. I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.My family moved when I was in my second grade, and I transferred (转学) to a private school. My English class continued. Luckily I could use the same series of text books.I stayed in the same private school for my junior high school, which is from the 7th to the 9th grade. In junior high school, I hardly felt my English skill improved because the first English class here was still titled “Good Morning” and the content was still basic greetings.Following was one year of high school life: a_different_school,_the_same_story.Then my family moved again, and I began to really use English. We came to America.I attended a couple years of high school, and now I'm in college. I learn to write essays and start to read books in English. I can see my progress. However, I still have a lot of space to improve. In writing, the flow between sentences isn't good and I'm stillusing basic words. In speaking, maybe because I hang out with Chinese speaking friends too much, it takes me time to think when telling long stories.4. In Grade One, the author admired that classmate because he ________.A. could speak two languagesB. had a very wide vocabularyC. often led the whole class to readD. knew about the earth and the sun5. How did the author most probably feel during the first English class in junior high school?A. Moved.B. Interested.C. Disappointed.D. Relaxed.6. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means in senior high school the author ________.A. didn't live a very difficult lifeB. liked her new school very muchC. learned English in a different wayD. had to learn simple English all over again7. What do we learn about the author now?A. She is looked down upon by others.B. She still isn't very fluent in English.C. She has no chance to speak Chinese now.D. She likes practicing English through telling long stories.CLearning Greek mythology is part of having a wellrounded education. Many great works of literature refer back to Greek mythology, and there is no way to properly understand what the greatest authors of all time were saying without knowing about this topic.When literature refers to another famous work of literature, this is called an allusion (暗指), and allusions are common in great literature, not only in books and plays, but in poetry. This is because the great authors thought that people who were reading their literature were educated. One of the basic building blocks of literature that the great books refer to the most is Greek mythology.Some people say that we should not study Greek mythology because it's the study of demons. Do not dismiss (对……不屑一顾) these people or consider them stupid. I have done research, and found in actual fact that the Greek gods were really referred to asdemons. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't learn Greek mythology.Even your understan ding of everyday idioms such as “You've just opened Pandora's box”，or “That's my Achilles' heel” is completely confusing if you avoid reading Greek mythology just because the Greek gods were once called demons. After all, the true study of demons is completely different from the almost comedic mistakes of the Greek gods and goddesses who often have more problems than mere mortals. Flying sandals, ogres (吃人巨妖) with one eye, and a greenfaced woman with snake hair that turns you to stone are more like fairy tales than an invitation to study the dark side.What it comes down to is this: if you do not study Greek mythology, you are reducing your understanding of life as well as literature. You will not understand newspaper allusions and will appear stupid to others, who will shut their ears to you because you don't know even the basics of what everybody knows. Be educated. Gain wisdom. So don't say “no” to Greek mythology.8. What does the author want to show by mentioning great works of literature?A. They are very important to today's readers.B. Great authors like reading Greek mythology.C. Many of them are based on Greek mythology.D. Greek mythology is commonly referred to in them.9. The great authors used allusions because they ________.A. wanted to show they were welleducatedB. wanted to encourage people to read moreC. thought people would benefit from themD. thought readers could understand them10. Which of the following statements would the author agree with?A. Greek mythology is totally the study of demons.B. Many everyday idioms come from Greek mythology.C. Greek mythology is really too scary for young children.D. Learning Greek mythology means learning Greek gods' mistakes.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Why we should study Greek mythologyB. How to get benefits from reading literatureC. How to understand allusions in literatureD. Why people want to study Greek mythologyDThe world is getting warmer, creating an extinction threat for many species. In our rapidly warming world, species have two choices: they can adapt or go extinct. A species' natural history determines its ability to adapt and its extinction risk. Here I present an overview of some of the carnivore (食肉动物) species for whom climate change presents a big challenge.The lynx (猞猁), whose numbers are low worldwide, must have young forest with diverse structure for hunting and mature forest for dens (洞窟). It can survive only by eating snowshoe hare and often starves to death when it changes prey. Given its low reproductive rate, strict habitat and food needs, the lynx has high extinction risk by 2100.The wolverine, which has experienced historical and recent widespread drops, usually feeds on the meat of dead animals. It needs yearround snow for dens and has low patience with heat. Given the rapidly dropping global level of yearround snow, even in mountainous regions, it has high extinction risk by 2100.The grizzly bear can eat over 270 different foods. However, this species needs high protein at important times. Global warming is reducing their key foods. While the grizzly bear's low reproductive rate limits its survival, its diverse diet will enable it to adapt to climate change. If it continues to be protected, it faces low extinction risk by 2100.The polar bear has low patience with heat. This polar species' primary prey is the ringed seal, which it can kill only on ice. Also, it requires a highfat diet that only seal meat can provide. Due to its low reproductive rate and dependence on ice, the polar bear has high extinction risk by 2100.12. It's implied in Paragraph 1 that climate change ________.A. doesn't affect all species equallyB. has the biggest threat to the carnivore speciesC. can't make our world become warm rapidlyD. will have a negative influence on all species13. What do we learn about the lynx?A. It can be easily hunted by its enemies.B. It likes hunting food in mature forests.C. A female lynx can give birth to many young ones.D. It completely depends on snowshoe hare for food.14. Which of the following can be the biggest threat to the wolverine?A. Losing snowshoe hare.B. Losing snow for dens.C. Being in a very cold place.D. Being unable to hunt living animals.15. According to the text, which of the following has the lowest extinction risk?A. The lynx.B. The wolverine.C. The grizzly bear.D. The polar bear.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

BI started to learn English from the first grade. Thatyear I was six. In class I learned basic phrases forgreeting and describing objects. I don't have muchmemory for the first year of English learning. The only thing that I still remember is reading vocabulary list. A classmate of mine who was good at English would lead the whole class to read the list. One of the new words that I learned that year was “earth”. “The earth orbits the sun，”he said in Chinese. Every time we came to the word “earth”，he would repeat that sentence. I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.My family moved when I was in my second grade, and I transferred (转学) to a private school. My English class continued. Luckily I could use the same series of text books.I stayed in the same private school for my junior high school, which is from the 7th to the 9th grade. In junior high school, I hardly felt my English skill improved because the first English class here was still titled “Good Morning” and the content was still basic greetings.Following was one year of high school life: a_different_school,_the_same_story.Then my family moved again, and I began to really use English. We came to America. I attended a couple years of high school, and now I'min college. I learn to write essays and start to read books in English. I can see my progress. However, I still have a lot of space to improve. In writing, the flow between sentences isn't good and I'm still using basic words. In speaking, maybe because I hang out with Chinese speaking friends too much, it takes me time to think when telling long stories.语篇解读：作者讲述了她从六岁一直到大学学习英语的经历。
