Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OnePopulation tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden”took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.41. This passage chiefly discussesA. the growth of world population.B. one type of the exponential rate.C. the population problem of more rapidly growing countries.D. the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth.42. According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on “all of a sudden”?A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one month.B. The time span of at 1east two million years in human history.C. An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author.D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.43. It took for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.A. 100 yearsB. 175 yearsC. 1975 yearsD. over two million years44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.B. Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.C. The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.D. The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years.45. When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything including __.A. hospitals and medicinesB. schools and studentsC. food and manpower resourcesD. all of the aboveQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoWomen are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to beextensions of their identity. （82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.46. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____.A. body languageB. logical reasoningC. tasks demanding for the use of wordsD. both A and B47. The word "accepted” in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_____.A. believedB. assumedC. receivedD. reconciled48. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for______.A. achieving one’s objects.B. mind and body.C. programming talents into the brain.D. imagination and communication.49. All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT____.A. imagining and handling objects.B. providing a computer with a set of instructionsC. shooting a gun and driving an automobileD. planning and making things as an engineer does50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills.B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning.C. Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThe US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. （83）The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs.Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes.Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.51. Earthquake belts are .A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB. zones with a high probability of earthquakesC. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surfaceD. the two layers of earth along a fault52. The San Andreas’ fault is .A. an active fault systemB. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC. a place where earthquake have been controlledD. the location of the Rocky Mountain53. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？A. They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB. The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.D. he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.55. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?A. Dangers of EarthquakeB. Earthquake Belts and PredictionC. Earthquake Prediction and ControlD. Earthquake Engineering in CaliforniaQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourSporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. （84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences(后果), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.56. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Hunting is very important in human civilization.B.Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society.C.It’s hunting that provides human beings with food.D.The importance of sporting activities in modern society.57. According to the author, sporting activities .A. are essential to the survivalB. have actually developed from huntingC. evolve as biological developmentD. are football games58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically .A. skillful sportsmenB. successful farmersC. runners and jumpersD. cooperating hunters59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to .A. sports activitiesB. huntingC. farmersD. prey killing60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting.B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn’t live.C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn’t have enthusiasm for hunting any moreIII. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

I'm away from home,so I have many thing to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college, gives me a sense of responsibility andof being on my own. My parents aren't around to say "No, you're not going out tonight" or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and Whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York and -even though I'd been here before-I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in, not knowing the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was especially nice: with a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I know I had to go through some glass doors-but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some upperclassmen saw me and asked, " Are you a mew student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard. One said, "Oh, just follow us;that's where we'regoing." Even now I feel fortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of people about college, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it! ( )76.The text is perhaps written by _______.A.a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD. a foreignvisitor( )77.What does “gives me a sense of responsibility 〞 in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel____.A.Responsible for my parentsB. responsible for my teacherC.responsible for the schoolD. responsible for myself( )78.One thing that he liked was _____.A.The fortable dormB. finding his way aroundC.his studies as a first year studentD. the friendly people ( )79.What is New Gerad?A.It’s a student’s nameB. It’s a teacher’s name’s a dorm’s name D. It’s a school’s name( )80.Which of the following is NOT true?A.People in Marymount University are friendlyB.The writer likes the new experience in the universityC.The writer drove to Marymount University with his motherD.The writer is not homesick四．翻译〔每题2分；10题，共20分〕81.众所周知，肺癌至少局部地是由于吸烟过多而引起的。

Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. 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 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIf someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time it takes for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we aregetting older and the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced.Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.41、 This passage is about ______.A. why sleepwalking happensB. where sleepwalkers goC. what sleepwalkers doD. when sleepwalkers walk42、 Who has more possibility of sleepwalking? ______A. Grown-ups.B. Young people.C. Old men.D. Old women.43、 What does "reduced" mean in "...the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced" in Paragraph Three? ______A. Opened up.B. Cut down.C. Kept on.D. Sped up.44、 People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk ______.A. when they get olderB. when they become parents themselvesC. if their parents sleep walkedD. if they don't sleep well45、 This passage may be from ______A. a story bookB. a travel bookC. a science bookD. a cooking bookPassage TwoOur eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.46、 We had better develop good eating habits if ______.A. we want to eat moreB. we want to save timeC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to eat less47、 ______ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A. Either meat or riceB. Both sweets and ice creamC. Neither sweets nor ice creamD. Not only meat but also rice48、 We had better have our meals ______.A. when our work is overB. at the same time every dayC. when the meal is being cookedD. before we go back home49、 A man who is angry has ______.A. a poor appetiteB. a better appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread50、 The judges in old England considered that a man could ______ if he tolda lie.A. swallow dry bread easilyB. drink milk or hot waterC. hardly swallow dry breadD. eat a lot of dry breadPassage ThreeIf we take a close look at successful language learners, we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not rely on books or teachers; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain everything, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.51、 Successful language learners want to learn the language because ______.A. they have to pass the examinationB. they are interested in itC. they want to find better jobsD. they think it is very easy to learn52、 Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ______.A. only use the language in classB. try to avoid using the languageC. wait for a chance to use the languageD. look for a chance to use the language53、 According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, they usually ______.A. wait for their teachers to explain themB. look them up in the dictionary at onceC. try to guess their meaningD. ask their teachers54、 Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners according to the passage? ______A. They are more intelligent than others.B. They are learners with a purpose.C. They have good teachers and good books.D. They spend much more time learning than others.55、 What is the purpose of this passage? ______A. To explain the importance of language learning.B. To compare language learning with language teaching.C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.D. To introduce some useful techniques of language learning. Passage FourDo you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Do you know that some people fear heights? That is caned acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation, a person has what is called an "anxiety attack". Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for fight or flight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.56、 A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have ______.A. homophobiaB. acrophobiaC. zoophobiaD. claustrophobia57、 A good way to overcome one's unreasonable fear of something would be ______.A. trying to avoid itB. preparing for fight or flightC. getting rid of the anxiety attackD. trying to get used to it58、 If you have a phobia, ______.A. you must take swimming lessons in a safe poolB. it will be as troublesome as an infectious diseaseC. you may attend some partiesD. you had better practice looking down from middle heights first59、 A man who has a phobia ______.A. is called an anxiety attackB. has blood rush to his legsC. has the feeling of flightD. fears some particular thing or situation60、 The writer of this passage tells us that ______.A. when some phobia breaks out in someone, he will feel too anxious about somethingB. a person who fears people can run a race with othersC. a man afraid of heights can climb to at all building easilyD. everyone dares to swim in pools where there is no lifeguardⅢ.

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. (81)And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece . But it is believed that the first personsin Europe to use umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twenties century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.41. The first use of the umbrella was as.A. Protection against the rainB. A shade against the sun.C. A symbol of powerD. A symbol of honor42. The are regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A. RomansB. GreeksC. ChineseD. Europeans43. The umbrella was used only by royal people or those in high office .A. in Europe in the eighteenth century.B. in ancient Egypt and BabylonC. in the Far East in ancient timesD. during the Middle Ages44. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Women's umbrellas are made in various kinds of colors.B. The inventor of the umbrella is unknown.C. Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas.D. Umbrellas were popular and cheap in ancient times.45. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. When Was the Umbrella InventedB. The Roles of Umbrellas in HistoryC. The Colors and Shapes of UmbrellasD. Who Needed the Umbrella FirstPassage TwoDoctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. According to some research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed.The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Margaret Barnes, a pediatrician, believes in the importance of exercise. (82)She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies.In studies with seniors, research has shown that exercise helps older people as well. The exercise doesn't have to be very difficult. The main goal is just to increase the heart rate. And especially when learning new movements, such as yoga or tai chi, it appears that new memory paths open up in the brain. This can improve people's short-term memory.46. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How to take exerciseB. How exercise helps the brainC. How to enjoy musicD. How the brain can change47. According to the passage, how does exercise affect the brain?A. It helps people think more clearlyB. It improves long-term memoryC. It makes babies more intelligentD. It strengthens blood vessels48. According to Margaret Barnes, many learning problems that children have in school may be caused by.A. low intelligenceB. a lack of exercise when very youngC. social problemsD. difficult relationships with teachers49. Why are voga and tai chi recommended to seniors?A. They are new movementsB. They are good for memoryC. They can slow down their heart rate.D. They are good for joints50. What type of patients does a pediatrician probably treat?A. Patients with mental problemsB. Patients with physical problemsC. ChildrenD. Old peoplePassage ThreeHow can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. (83)They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Buring garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been buring garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Pairs, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by buring almost a half million barrels of oil.But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily , such as food scraps (碎屑) and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Buring garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.51. What two problems can man solve by burning problem?A. The shortage of energy and air pollutionB. The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C. Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuels.D. Air pollution and the shortage of the land to hold garbage.52. Which of the following is NOT the result of burning garbage?A. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B. The heat produced is used to boil water.C. The steam produced is used to make electricity.D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.53. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in France each year.B. In the modern society, more and more garbage is produced each year.C. Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage.D. Burning garbage is an old idea.54. According to the passage, which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?A. Food scraps and metalsB. Paper and glassC. Metals and glassD. Food scraps and paper55. What is the general tone of the passage?A. OptimisticB. IndifferentC. PromotingD. AnxiousPassage FourH5N1 avian influence, known commonly as bird flu, has killed at least 15 people across Asia and was confirmed in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland, but 13 of the country's 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (直辖市) have reported the disease in poultry.The Chinese government has taken measures to prevent and control the disease. Poultry within 3 km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5 km to receive vaccines (疫苗). (84)Meanwhile , there will be constant monitoring and daily reports on the disease across the country, and increased production of bird flu vaccines.Among the Asian countries and regions affected by bird flue in animals,only Vietnam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reportedto have caught the disease from poultry, while the World Health Organization (WHO) said there is "no proof of human-to-human transmission(传播)" of bird flue.(85)The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus to create a deadly new disease that will kill millions of people across the globe. Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens in the market. This greatly increases the possibility of human beings infected with bird flu.A spokesman of the WHO said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens. And the people there have to complexly change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals. Here are some safety measures for people to stay healthy;✧∙Keep fit and well through regular exercise;✧∙Avoid infected poultry and infected people;✧∙Avoid eating raw or under-done poultry and eggs;✧∙Make sure there is always fresh air in your home;✧∙Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing;✧∙Wash your hands frequently;42. What does the word "poultry "in the passage mean?A. Wild birdsB. Wild animalsC. Home-raised birdsD. Home-raised animals43. From the passage, we can learn that.A. infected poultry within 3 km was killed in China .B. Bird flu case was confirmed in China on Jan,27.C. Human cases were found 13Asian countriesD. Over two thirds of China has been infected with bird flu44. What do people fear most?A. Poultry will infect many peopleB. The disease can spread quickly among peopleC. There will be human-to-human transmissionD. A new disease combining bird flu and human flu will break out45. One of the right ways for us to avoid bird flu is .A. To kill all the poultryB. To eat no more chickensC. To form a healthy habitD. To keep separated from others46. Which must be wrong for the Asians to change their lifestyle?A. Farmers should avoid selling live poultry in the marketB. Farmers should vaccinate their poultry regularlyC. Farmers should live more closely with their poultry.D.

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 with a single line through the centre.Passage 1If someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time there is for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we are getting older and the possibility of sleep- walking is also reduced.Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.41. This passage is about _______.A. why sleepwalking happensB. where sleepwalkers goC. what sleepwalkers doD. when sleepwalkers walk42. Who has more possibility of sleepwalking?A. Grown-ups.B. Young people.C. Old men.D. Old women.43. What does “reduced” mean in “…the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced” in ParagraphThree?A. Opened upB. Cut downC. Kept onD. Sped up44.People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk _______.A. when they get olderB. when they become parents themselvesC. if their parents sleepwalkedD. if they don’t sleep well45. This passage may be from _______.A. a story bookB. a travel bookC. a science bookD. a cooking bookPassage 2Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of the meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we are hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was sign that he wasn’t telling the trut h—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.46. We had better develop good eating habits if _________.A. we want to eat moreB. we want to save timeC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to eat less47. _________ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A. Either meat or riceB. Both sweets and ice creamC. Neither sweets nor ice creamD. Not only meat but also rice48. We had better have our meals _________.A. when our work is overB. at the same time every dayC. when the meal is being cookedD. before we go back home49. A man who is angry has _________.A. a poor appetiteB. a better appetiteC. to eat more foodD. to eat dry bread50. The judges in old England considered that a man could _________ if he told a lie.A. swallow dry bread easilyB. drink milk or hot waterC. hardly swallow dry breadD. eat a lot of dry breadPassage 3If we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.51. Successful language learners want to learn the language because ________.A. they have to pass the examinationB. they are interested in itC. they want to find better jobsD. they think it is very easy to learn52. Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ________.A. only use the language in classB. try to avoid using the languageC. wait for a chance to use the languageD. look for a chance to use the language53. According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, theyusually ________.A. wait for their teachers to explain themB. look them up in the dictionary at onceC. try to guess their meaningD. ask their teachers54. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners accordingto the passage?A. They are more intelligent than others.B. They are learners with a purpose.C. They have good teachers and good books.D. They spend much more time learning than others.55. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To explain the importance of language learning.B. To compare language learning with language teaching.C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.D. To introduced some useful techniques of language learning.Passage 4Do you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Did you know that some people fear heights? That is called acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.A Phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation a person has what is called an “anxiety attack.” Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for flight or fight.One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.56. A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have _________.A. homophobiaB. acrophobiaC. ZoophobiaD. claustrophobia57. A good way to overcome one’s unreasonable fear of something would be _________.A. trying to avoid itB. preparing for flight or fightC. getting rid of the anxiety attackD. trying to get used to it58.

A man who has a phobia _________.A. is called an anxiety attackB. has blood rush to his legsC. has the feeling of flightD. fears some particular thing60.
