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 1After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Enough sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed ）. B. why C. for D. as go to themovie because he Wanted to study forthe examinations. B. he won*t rather C. hell rather not D. he'd rather didn't right now.A. besides38.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn't really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）.Instead, they learn both stated and implied meanings from what they see, Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when their parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to sit their kids in front of the TV set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading. ”A child's reading ability is best predicted by how m uch a parent reads/1 Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers children's IQ scores and affects their school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it's the other way around.11 If you're smart young, you'll watch less TV when you*re older/ Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.Foryears, researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally 0专统土也）believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be blamed without considering other influences.46.By watching TV, children learnA. images through wordsB. both stated and implied meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people's psychology47.According to the passage, an educational program is best watched by childrenA. on their ownB. with other kidsC. with their parentsD. with their teachers48.Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?A. Listening to the radio.B. Watching television.C. Parents1 reading list.D. Parents1 educational background.49.Anderson believed thatA.the more children watch TV. the smarter they areB.the younger children are, the more they watch TVC.the smarter children are, the less likely they are more interested in watching TVD.the less children watch TV, the better they perform at school50.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To advise that TV should be used for educationakpurposes.B.To describe the harmful effects of TV on children.C.To explain traditional views of influences that TV has had on children.D.To suggest that television cannot be blamed for problems it doesn't cause.Passage 3It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）.“ I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars-behind me/ she said with a smile. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at* the tollbooth were informed, "Some lady up ahead already you're your fare/' It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: n Practice random （随意的）kindness and senseless acts of beauty.'* The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home When it stayed on her mind for days, she decided to drive all the way back to copy it down. "I thought it was beautiful/ she said, explaining why she would write it at the bottom of all her let ters, “like a message from above." Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classrOom.walkfor his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. ~ Alice .put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked i.t, she did not know here it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Matin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days."Here's the idea/1 Anne says. "Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly/* Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of old schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a poor old lady. Anne says, ”Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can/1The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare aid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!51.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A.She knew the car drivers well.B.She wanted to show kindness.C.She hoped to please others.D.She had seven tickets.52.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because sheA.thought it was beautifully writtenB.wanted to know what it really meantC.decided to write it on a warehouse wallD.wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom53.Who wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper according to the passage?A.

Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, "Uh, look, the game box hasn1t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money/'Peter examined the box, and sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. He saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box."You should put that up for auction （拍卖）on the Internet, and see what happens/* the salesgirl said."Yes, you're right. People like something rare/' Peter agreed, n l can't imagine there being very any unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later/*"Don't forget to tell me if you sell it,n the salesgirl smiled.”No problem/1 Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game, but he could not find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit SEARCH. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop."Hello! Do you still remember the unopened word game?"The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, ”Oh, hi!""I've got something for you," Peter said.

Something rare is worth a large amount of money.Passage 4It was a cold winter day.A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,〞she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.〞It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.〞The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,〞she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.〞Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here’s the idea,〞Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.〞Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.〞The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!56.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A．She knew the car drivers well.B．She wanted to show kindness.C．She hoped to please others.D．She had seven tickets.57.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she .A．thought it was beautifully writtenB．wanted to know what it really meantC．decided to write it on a warehouse wallD．wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom58.Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A．Judy Foreman.B．Natalie Smith.C．Alice Johnson.D．Anne Herbert.59.Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentenceabove?A．Kindness and violence can change the world.B．Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.C．Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D．Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.60.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．People should practice random kindness to those in need.B．People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C．People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D．People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.完形填空Dad had a black comb.

In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education —not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments. When other people are finished and having fun is most likely the time when online students do their course work. Online students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week for each course.作文Reusing textbooks1.有人认为课本应当反复使用；2.这样做的好处和影响；3.你的看法。

Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points)Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyones diet, are certainly part of our everydayshopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the humble vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.V. Translate the following sentences into English:(10*3points=30points)1. .(to knock over).2. .(to roar with).3. .( to have no knack for).. ,,(alternative to). ,.(for the sake of).6. ..7. ,.(to convert into).8. .(to interfere with).9. .(to trap).10. .(to dawn on).VI. Reading Comprehension (38 points)Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of has become of one of the dominating factors ofcontemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is apart, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.1. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ offace-to-face contact insocial settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaI am one of the many city people who are always saying that giventhe choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt andnoise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it werent for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But howrealistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the populationlive in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. Theres little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, andfor anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves forthe country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peaceand quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses.But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the quiet life by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowersthey leave behind they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring morning to the locals as they pass by? Im keen on the idea, but you see theres my cat, Toby, Im not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the authors opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT A a strong sense of fear B lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following thingsin the country EXCEPT A daily necessities B fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsIdeas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. Its no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. Whats the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsHuman cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painfulprocedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technologyby___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word infertile(Line 1, Para.2) most probablymeans____________.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17. According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in____________.A the treatment of heart attacksB the bearing of babiesC the cure of blood diseasesD the detection of gene-related diseases18. Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by___________.A attacking the diseased cells with healthy onesB controlling the growth of the cellsC detecting disordered genes in the cancel cellsD activating cancer cells by switching them on19.
