Living in a 1 Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms, 2 . In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or 3 . In the United States, however, each farm family lives 4 its own fields, often out of the sight of any 5 . Instead of traveling in the morning from their 6 to the fields every day, American farmers often 7 on their land all the week. They 8 to the nearest town on Saturdays for 9 or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which 10 all of the farm families living in the area. In 11 areas, there are small schools for a few farm families, and the children 12 to school. But life keeps changing for every one, of course, including the farmers.13 there are cars, good roads, radios and television sets. 14 there are modern machines, even computers, for farming. All of these have 15 farm life. For many years 16 , farming in America was 17 a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own problems all by themselves, instead of getting 18 from others.

Then it broke top of the water. Jonsai gasped (喘气).It was a turtle.Jonsai rubbed (揉) his eyes, thinking that the sun had weakened then. It was not unusual to find turtles feeding near the edge of the reef (暗礁).But this was not an ordinary turtle. Nor was it a mirage (海市蜃楼). It stayed there on the surface, as white as foam or bone or sun-dried coral, and shining like an oyster (牡蛎) shell.The creature stayed still for some time. So did the boy. Leaning forward, he stared without moving, disbelief giving way to a small fear. His heart flopped against his ribs like a dying fish.There was no such thing as a white turtle!His mind moved first. Tonight the men would return from the pit hunt. Samu and Aesake would be at the feast (盛筵) with the men. He, Jonsai, would have to sit with the women and children. But what would happen if, at the height of the feasting, Jonsai brought forward a gift for Chief Vueti, something he had never seen before, a present that would make him the envy of every chief on the islands?1. Jonsai was surprised when he first saw the turtle because the turtle _______.A. looked different from other turtles he had seenB. moved very slowly through the waterC. was feeding too close to the reefD. was not afraid of him2. From the passage, the reader is able to tell that _______.A. the turtle is angry about Jinsai’s presenceB. Jonsai does not think he will be able to catch the turtleC. The turtle is of an unusually small sizeD. Jonsai has visited the reef before3. In the phrase, “Something he had never seen before”, the word “he” refers to _______.A. JonsaiB. chief vuetiC. samuD. Aesake4. Jonsai’s main reason for wanting to catch the turtle is to _______.A. provide food for his villageB. impress his motherC. pierce the shell for jewelleryD. impress the chief of his village5. In the last paragraph, Jonsai feels _______.A. determined but sadB. unsure but excitedC. jealous and unsureD. worried and upset.BI don’t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long nap (打盹;小睡) after dinner. If you didn’t sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didn’t nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day.You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in some sort of physical activity-a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good night’s rest without taking a pill.If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a few hours’ sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour.The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and avoid taking pills.6. According to the writer, it is difficult for you to go to sleep because .A.you get the habit of staying up lateB.you haven’t taken sleeping pillsC.you sleep for hours after dinnerD.you fail to do some exercises7. Which of the following is NOT TRUE if you want to get out of the habit of sleeping duringthe evening?A.Go to bed earlier than usual.B.Talk with friends after dinner.C.Stay with friends after dinner.D.Do some physical labor.8. You feel tired all day probably because .A.you stay up too lateB.you get up too early in the morningC.you take sleeping pillsD.you wake up too frequently at night9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.You mustn’t take sleeping pills in order to get a good night’s sleep.B.You should stay up if you want to sleep effectively.C.Food is necessary at night if you fail to go to sleep.D.It is very important to get out of the habit of taking a nap after dinner.10. We may infer that the author is most probably a .A. doctorB. reporterC. scientistD. professorCThe most common form of public transportation is the buses. They provide transportation service on innumerable routes from the city center to the suburbs and even to contry that surround the city. Also, special buses can be chartered for trips to the mountains, to lakes, and to nearby places of historical interest. In some cities, the city bus system offers free “mini-bus”service as a convenience to shoppers in the downtown business district.Subways are mostly found in larger cities, such as New York, London, Tokyo, Paris and so on. The subway is an underground system of high-speed trains. The world’s first system was builtin London, and trains have been operating there since 1890. Subway trains move more quickly and efficiently than buses. They, too, are inexpensive and help solve city traffic problems. The one drawback of subway trains is that they are often crowded and noisy.Taxicabs are more expensive than buses or subways, but they will deliver you to the exact location you want in the shortest time possibly. Taxis are convenient if you are in a hurry or if you are taking a number of suitcases or packages.If you ever visit a major city in another country, you will probably have no trouble getting around. You will quickly find out about city bus routes and schedules, about crowds on subway trains, and about the scarcity of taxis when you are trying to find one during rush hours. Like many people, of course, you may come to the conclusion that the most inexpensive and reliable form of transportation will be your own two legs!11. What is the common form of public transportation?A.Bicycles and horses.B.Taxicabs and horses.C.Subways, taxi and busses.D.High-speed trains underground and suburbs.12. Why do people like to take busses?A.Because busses run faster than the others.B.Because busses cost much more than the others.C.Because the others are not safe.D.Because busses are the cheapest of all these.13. What does “mini-bus” mean?A.It means that a kind of bus only runs in the mid-night.B.It is another name of the bus.C.It means that this kind of bus is very small.D.It means that this is a special kind of bus for shoppers to carry goods.14. The subway is a kind of high-speed train underground ___________A.that runs only on the suburb routes.B.that was first used in London, New York and Tokyo.C.and is mostly being operated in some big cities.D.Both A and B.15. Which of the following is true according to the above?A.The public transportation is only for the rich.B.Subway was used earlier than buses.C.Taxicab is free.D.In the big crowded cities, you’ll find your own two legs will be the cheapest and the mostreliable form of transportation.DThere were two McDonalds-Mac and Dick -and they were brothers. In 1948 they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,”said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter (柜台), we wouldn’t needany waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”These were such good ideas that McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly – in less than a minute – and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries (油炸食品). The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world-even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.16. The McDonald brothers offered customers fewer kinds of foods so that .A.they didn’t need waiters or waitressesB.they could use plastic platesC.customers would get their meals quicklyD.customers would pay less17. Customers “paid only 15 cents for hamburgers” means the hamburgers were .A. expensiveB. newC. cheapD. worth a lot less18. The first McDonald’s customers took their food away because .A.they wanted to eat it quicklyB.they did not want a large menuC.there were no seats in the restaurantD.they wanted to eat at home19. Nowadays, the owners of McDonald’s restaurants pay for .A.the McDonald’s name and menuB.children to play gamesC.people to take the food awayD.customers to eat quickly20. This story mainly tells us .A. a restaurant in California 1948B.how Ray Kroc made money for the McDonald brothersC.where McDonald’s restaurants are in the worldD.how the McDonald’s business started and grewEWhen Ben Franklin was only a boy, he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers “What?” and “How?” and “Why?”They couldn’t always tell him what he wanted to know.When they couldn’t tell him, Ben tried to find out for himself.Many times Ben did find out things that no one knew before. The other boys would say, “That Ben Franklin! He’s always finding out something new!”Ben lived close to the water. He liked to go there to see the boats. He saw how the wind blew them across the water.One day Ben said to himself, “Why can’t the wind help me float (漂浮) across the water? And I’m going to try.” Ben got his big kite. He took hold of the kite string and ran with it. The wind took the kite up into the air. Then Ben jumped into the water.The wind blew the kite high into the air. Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side, and he had not worked at all.One boy shouted, “Look at Ben floating across the water! His kite takes him to the other side without any work!”“Yes,” said another. “He’s always finding new ways to do things.”21. When he was only a child, Ben .A.liked to fly a kite by himselfB.always asked easy questionsC.always liked to play with waterD.always liked to find out how things worked22. His father and brothers .A.couldn’t answer all his questionsB.could answer all his questionsC.tried hard to find out something new for himD.were too busy to answer his questions23. How did Ben Franklin float across the water?A.The other boy took him across it.B.The water carried him across it.C.The flying kite took him across it.D. A boat took him across it.24.

Fiji consists of 322 islands (of which 106 are inhabited) and 522 smaller islets. The climate in Fiji is tropical marine and warm most of the year round with minimal extremes. The island state is inhabited by the native Fijians and other minorities like the Indo-Fijians and other smaller groups. The religion in Fiji is also diverse and every religious group gets equal opportunities.The Fijians consider their national costume a representative of the culture of Fiji. The national costume of Fiji in the earlier times used to be loin cloths for men and grass skirts for women. The skirt lengths would determine the status of a woman. A single woman used to wear short skirts but long skirts had to be worn by married women. The national dress of the Fijians now is Sulu. The Sulu resembles a skirt and both genders wear it.The Fijians are pretty easy-going, but if you are invited into a village, wear simple clothing and take off your hat (wearing one is an insult to the chief). Leave your shoes outside the door when entering a home and keep in mind that it’s also insulting to touch someone’s head. When visiting a village, it is customary to present a gift of kava (卡瓦酒). The gift will cost less than F$20 for a half kilo. If you are accompanied by a guide, he or she will prepare that. Be prepared to shake hands and answer personal questions like, where are you from, are you married, how many children do you have and so on.41. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. The climate in Fiji is variable all year round.B. All the people in Fiji are of the same religion.C. Fiji is a multi-ethnic country.D. The island state of Fiji is ruled by the native Fijians.42. In the past, we could tell whether a woman is married or not by _______.A. whether she wore loin cloths or notB. the length of her grass skirtC. the colour of the skirt she woreD. the materials of the costume she wore43. If you touch the head of a lovely boy in Fiji, he will probably _______.A. smile happily at youB. present you with a giftC. be angry with youD. invite you to his house44. What kind of clothes should you wear when you go to a village in Fiji?A. Showy clothes.B. The national costume of Fiji.C. Loin cloths.D. Plain clothes.45. The people of Fiji are generally considered to be _______.A. curiousB. friendlyC. cautiousD. reservedCFrom 1993 to 1998, I was a seller for Chevrolet. Each week I would take a look at their used cars that were for sale. I would fix cracks in leather, cigarette burns in fabric, re-color carpets that had stains (污点), repair windshields that had been hit, etc.Every week I would walk into this specific Chevrolet dealer’s used car lot to see what the used cars needed in the way of repairs. The manager’s wife was named Cindy. Cindy was always very rude, treating me like she was better than me. I was always positive and kind, but that never seemed to work with her.One day she accused (指责) me of charging her to dye the carpet in a mini-van that had a stain on the carpet. She had driven the van for the weekend and said the stain was not there. Just trying to continually be aggressive without cause, she accused me in front of all her colleagues that day.However, instead of being angry at being looked upon as someone that was not honest, I went to a florist and spent almost $100 on red roses and put them in a nice basket. I picked out a card, and stated that I was sorry for the misunderstanding and that I did not ever have the intention of making her angry.The following week, I walked into her office like I did every week with my list of used cars that needed some attention before they were sold and said, “Hi, Cindy,” with my usual happy and up-beat attitude. She gave me a big smile and said, “You bought me flowers.” Every week thereafter she would always make it a point to say, “Hey, Mike, how are you doing?” or “Nice to see you, how are you?”This woman began to change, perhaps because of this small act of kindness. It was actually sonice to see Cindy’s whole way of being — change with me. She was always very kind, and would always have a big smile when I walked into her office.I guess people can change with a little bit of kindness!46. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to deal with a rude person.B. Meeting anger with kindness.C. Anyone can be changed.D. The importance of trust.47. Why did the writer buy so many red roses for Cindy?A. To show his love to her.B. To beg her pardon for his mistakes.C. To say sorry for their misunderstanding.D. To expect a rise for his post.48. The best order for what happened to the writer is _______.a. I went to a florist and bought many red roses.b. I was accused of charging her to dye the carpet in the mini-van.c. The mini-van got a stain in the carpet.d. I went to Cindy’s office as usual.e. Cindy began to change and became friendly to me.A. c b d e aB. c a b e dC. b c a d eD. c b a d e49. From the passage we can learn that the writer is_______.A. aggressiveB. kindC. attractiveD. foolish50. You would most probably find this passage in the _______ section of a newspaper.A. businessB. travelC. healthD. educationDBased on a scientific survey of 18- to 30-year-olds, researchers from MSU’s Eli Broad Graduate School of Management found that young consumers will not pay an extra high price for an automobile simply because it is environmentally friendly. Instead, the determining factor — by far — is fuel efficiency (效率).Clay Voorhees, a researcher, said the findings indicate an eco-savvy generation is challenging the economic reality of paying bills. “The previous assumption(假想) that they are a spoiled generation couldn’t be further from the truth,” Voorhees said. “Generation Y is maturing into a pragmatic (务实的) generation that not only wants to do the right thing for the environment but also has real economic concerns.”According to the study, young consumers will pay only $1,500 extra for a $20,000 automobile simply because it is a hybrid (混合动力车) and considered environmentally friendly. But those same consumers will pay an additional $8,000 for a vehicle that gets 15 extra miles per gallon —regardless of whether it’s a hybrid. “It’s all about economic motivation,” Voorhees said. “While people want to save the world, particularly Gen Y, they need an extra incentive (激励) of owning acar that produces less emissions.”Jeremy Vanisacker, an MSU graduate student, said at the beginning he was surprised that his fello w Gen Y’ers needed such a large economic incentive to buy an eco-friendly car. But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. “We’ve grown up with a green mindset (思想倾向) but we haven’t really had to pay for it. Think about roadside recycling and free social networks. As a generation we’ve come to expect more for less.”Voorhees said the auto manufacturers need to do a better job of educating consumers on the financial benefits of owning eco-friendly vehicles, which typically cost more than conventional vehicles but eventually pay for themselves over time.51. According to the scientific survey, young consumers _______.A. can’t afford cars of high pricesB. appreciate conventional carsC. choose their cars mainly because of cars’ fuel efficienc yD. show no interest in environmentally friendly cars52. Clay Voorhees tends to think that Generation Y _______.A. focuses too much attention on moneyB. is a spoiled generationC. doesn’t make out the truth of protecting the environmentD. tries to get the balance between the environment and economic concerns53. Young consumers prefer to pay for cars that run farther because they _______.A. are fond of hybrid carsB. have an economic motivationC. wouldn’t accept the hybridsD. think these cars release less emissions54. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Buying an eco-friendly car demands more money.B. Young consumers aren’t ready to pay for green cars.C. Roadside recycling and social networks cost much.D. The young generation likes to get more and give less.55. What can be inferred from the article?A. It’s worthwhile for consumers to buy green cars.B. Conventional cars should get improved over time.C. Auto manufacturers should raise prices of conventional cars.D. Auto manufacturers should educate consumers on the environment.四、书面表达(共两节,满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)[1] Simply speaking, inflation (通货膨胀) is when the cost of goods or services in a country increases more rapidly than income. Inflation is directly related to the costs of production, marketing,doing business and supply and demand. When the government increases taxes, especially taxes on businesses, the cost of doing business increases, which brings an increase in the cost of goods and services to the common consumers. The consumers’ income can not buy as much goods today as it did last week, purchasing (购买) power decreases and prices continue to increase.[2] Low inflation can often be _________, so none of us really pay much attention to it. We get worried only when it turns into a serious one and begins to scare us. For example, in the United States, it is well known among financial (金融的) planners that the average (平均的) rate of inflation over a long period of time is 4%. When the rate of inflation hits the worker at a higher percentage, then it warns Americans of true inflation.[3] So in an average year, with an average 4% rate of inflation, people do not necessarily feel a clear effect. This is especially true if our employers give us a raise — that keeps us level or ahead of inflation. It is when our income does not keep up with inflation that we begin to “feel” the inflation bite.56. What is the best title for this passage?

Most of the Zhuang people live in southwestern China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which is nearly the size of New Zealand. The rest settle in Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and Hunan provinces.The Zhuang ethnic minority has its own language, which belongs to the Zhuang-Dai branch of Zhuang-Dong Austronesian(语族), part of the Chinese-Tibetan Phylum(汉藏语系). Ancient Zhuang characters appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), but never got popularized. In 1955 the central government helped them create a writing system based on the Latin alphabet. Still the Chinese language is commonly used among the Zhuang people.Tens of thousand years ago, ancestors of the Zhuang settled down in southern China. During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-221BC), they were one branch of the Baiyue people. The Zhuang areas first came under the administration of China’s central authorit y 2,000 years ago. In 221 BC,the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC), China’s first feudal(封建的) emperor to unify the country, conquered the area and established three prefectures(辖区) there.“Zhuang” was one of the names the ancestors of this ethnic minority gave to themselves. The term was first recorded some 1,000 years ago, in the Song Dynasty. The Zhuang people used to call themselves by at least a dozen other names, too. In 1958, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was set up and in 1964 the group was proved by the government as the Zhuang ethnic minority.56. The size of China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is ___________.A. approaching that of AustraliaB. approaching that of New ZealandC. nearly that of AustraliaD. of the same size of New Zealand57. __________ helped Zhuang people popularize their writing system.A. Emperor of the Southern Song DynastyB. Emperors of the Spring and Autumn PeriodC. The first emperor of the Qin DynastyD. The central government of New China58. According to the passage, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty came to the power of Zhuang areas about ________.A. 2,000 years agoB. 2,227 years agoC. 2,777 years agoD. 221 years ago59. ________ first named “Zhuang” for this ethnic minority.A. The government of the Guangxi ZhuangAutonomous RegionB. The first emperor of the Song DynastyC. The first emperor of Qin DynastyD. The ancestors of this ethnic minority60. The underlined word “conquered” in Para. 3 pr obably means “_________”.A. became successful inB. took possession of by fighting a warC. undertook to reach as promisedD. succeeded in climbing toBAs humans, we are also considered as animals sometimes! But unlike other animals, we have not had to fit the environment in which we live. Instead, we have been the shaper(改造者) of our environment and explorer of nature. While other animals must find a home, we have created our home wherever we are living. We have fitted ourselves in a variety of environments.Our skill at doing this has been due to our imagination, creativity and enthusiasm. If we chose to live in the desert, we learned how to save water, build a house among the rocks and mountains and depend on animals rather than vegetables for our food. Sometimes it was necessary for us to follow the animals as they moved, in order not to lose our source of food.Living in a place where there was plenty of rain and mild temperatures, we learned that we could plant a greater variety of crops, raise a few animals in a smaller, more contained area and not have to move our home. We have been able to live wherever we choose because we have not accepted the limitations of a particular environment, or rather, we have made the environment fit our needs.61. Humans can live where they want to because they ________.A. have enough materials to build homesB. can use what exists in nature to fit their needsC. have plenty of food from plants and animals everywhereD. can find a home easily62. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Animals had to adapt themselves to the environment.B. People who lived in the desert mainly ate meat.C. We always have to fit the environment where we live.D. People have a wide selection of places to live.63. The underlined part “mild temperatures” means it is ________.A. coldB. hotC. sometimes cold and sometimes hotD. neither too cold nor too hot64. The passage mainly talks about ________.A. humans and natureB. animals and environmentsC. protecting natureD. humans and animalsCYou may have heard the term “the American Dream”. In 1848, James W. Marshall found gold in California and people began having golden dreams. That 19th century “American Dream”motivated(激发起) the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname of the “Golden Sta te”.The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors but also waves of immigrants throughout that century and the next. People from Europe, and a large number of Chinese, arrived in the US in the 19th century hoping that in America they would find gold in the streets. But most, instead, worked as railroad labourers. They created the oldest Chinatown, in San Francisco, and gave the city a Chinese name “the old gold hill”.In the 20th century, some critics said that it was no longer possible to become prosperous(繁荣的,富有的) through determination and hard work. Unfair education for students from poor families and racial discrimination almost made the American Dream a nightmare.Then, in the 1990s, California saw a new wave of dreamers in Silicon Valley. People poured their energy into the Internet. This new chapter of the American Dream attracted many business people and young talents from China and India to form start-ups and seek fortune in America.Better pay, a nice house, and a rising standard of living will always be attractive. However, the new American Dream is no longer just about money. It encourages Americans to consume wisely to protect the environment, improve the quality of life, and promote social justice.The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzeneg-ger, has become the model of the new American Dream. After years of hard work, he grew from a poor young man from Austria into a super movie star and then a governor. Many people hope his story can save the American Dream and give California a brighter fu-ture.65. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. America’s golde n dream could never be realizedB. America’s golden dream had bought great fortune to Chinese immigrantsC. different times have different themes of the American dreamD. determination and hard work are the best way to realize the American dream66. The u nderlined sentence “his story can save the American Dream” (in the last paragraph) indicates that _______.A. the dream of seeking fortunate in America is easy to realizeB. most of the immigrants to America don’t reach their previous goalsC. the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger is among the common examples of the immigrantsD. the immigrants have made great contributions to California67. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Wave of Immigrants to AmericaB. Make Fortunes AbroadC. Hard Work Leads to SuccessD. Changes of America’s Golden DreamDBritish writer J. K. Rowling indicated(暗示) last Thursday that she may not stop at seven books about the adventures of Harry Potter.It was a live Web chat to mark World Book Day. And, Rowling, who has always insisted she would write only seven Harry Potter, was asked by a fan if she intended to write books about Harry after he left Hogwarts, the academy for wizards(巫师).“Probably not. But I’ll never say never. That’s because every time I do I immediately break the vow(誓言)”, she replied.Rowling, whose wealth was recently estimated(估价) at US $ 1 billion, is writing the sixth Potter book.In the Web chat, she was flooded with 16,000 questions from devoted readers about other wizard sagas(英雄传奇).The rele ase in June last year of the fifth book is billed as the world’s biggest book launch.Asked what would happen if fiction became fact, Rowling said, “I think I’d most like to spend a day with Harry.
