Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy‘s leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia‘s largest city in a month. The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon，on Sydney‘s northern beaches，around dawn when he was attacked.The city‘s beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months. ,The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭动)about in the water，‖the police said.,Fortunately，the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.‖ Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said，,It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.‖He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore.,There was a lot of pain，as you can imagine.‖The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries. Police said the bites ,cut through to the bone‖，but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折)(He was in a stable condition now. Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark，while the police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy.,I don‘t even know if he saw it，‖Miller said. Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney‘s beaches，but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However，there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month，one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House， and the other on a surfer at the city‘s world-famous Bondi beach. Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor，which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment，attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish.Many shark species，including the Great White—the man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws—are protected in Australian waters. 1(The report mainly tells us ________. A(shark attacks on humans are on the rise B(sharks attacked humans three times in one month C(a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach D(shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney‘s beaches 2(The underlined word ,savaged‖ in the first paragraph probably means ,________‖( A(attracted B(dragged C(bit D(packed 3(What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?

Dear Betty, My roommate‘s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I‘m excited about going, but I‘m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I‘m a little worried about making mistakes. Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I‘m thankful for their kindness? Yours, Knowing Nothing Dear Knowing Nothing, It‘s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don‘t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don‘t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don‘t be shy about asking the person next to you; it‘s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous. If you like the food, say so. Of course, you‘ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It‘s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after. Yours, Betty 1.

Canadian scientists have found a method to help aging people get less forgetful by improving their cognitive(认知) abilities through well-designed training. Everyone experiences some degree of memory loss and cognitive decline as they get older. The decline usually becomes noticeable after 50, when people may find it slightly more difficult to focus on tasks, organize everyday jobs and remember how to do things in the right order. A team of psychologists(心理学家)in Toronto created a strategy(策略) of cognitive training to help people preserve these abilities. "Our primary emphasis was on improving the use of general strategic abilities because they are particularly weak to the aging process," Dr. Donald Stuss, director of the study, said in a press release. The team examined 49 healthy older adults with normal cognitive decline. All of the participants were between the ages of 71 and 87. Over the course of 12 weeks, psychologists taught them methods to improve their strategic abilities. Afterwards, researchers saw a 15 to 40 percent improvement in the memories of all participants. ,Over a period of six months their improvement not only study. The 12-week course was broken up into three four-week sections, focusing on a different skill involved in strategic abilities: memory, goal management and psychosocial function. The memory training emphasized how to preserve and recover information, while goal management focused on methods to lower the chance of memory slips. Psychosocial training was aimed at increasing the participants‘ confidence in their mental abilities. ,We wanted to develop a cognitive training program that would produce improvement over a relatively short period of time, so participants could benefit more on that while they‘re still functional and slow down the rate of decline," said Winocur. "If we can work with people in the early stages of cognitive decline, then we can slow down the rate of this decline and help them maintain a higher level of function for a longer period of time." 1. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Canadian scientists help aging people preserve memory. B. A new way to develop a good memory. C. Cognitive abilities are essential to memory. D. Say no to the memory decline. 2. According to the psychologists, what causes the bad memory when a man becomes old? A. Forgetfulness. B. Psychosocial function. C. General strategic abilities. D. Goal management. 3. The underlined word ,‖ means ,_______‖. A. weakened B. kept C. changed D. improved 4. How many strategic abilities do the psychologists mainly focus on? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 5. From what Winocur said in the last paragraph, we can learn that ________. A. the cognitive training program has been proved successful B. the training can prevent one‘s memory from declining C. the earlier they begin the training, the better the result will be D. Winocur aims to help aging people suffer less from memory loss and cognitive decline 24. Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world‘s population is left-handed. Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person‘s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person‘s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn‘t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with. Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don‘t have to. 1. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _______. A. the art began from 1,500 B.C. B. the works of art ended in the 1950s C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed 2. How many people in the world are left-handed now? A. Less than one sixth. B. More than a half. C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn‘t tell us. 3. What is the hand for most people used to do? A. It‘s used to find or hold things. B. It‘s used to work with things. C. It‘s used to make a person‘s eyes work together. D. It‘s the centre for thinking and doing problems. 4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed. B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness. C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only. D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed. 5. The best title for this passage is _______. A. Scientists‘ New Inventions B. Left-handed People C. Which Hand D. Different Brains, Different Hands 25. The International Monetary Fund warned the UK economy to reduce by 2.8% this year – its worst single-year performance since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The IMF said Britain would be especially hard-hit by a drop in the west that would see a 2.5% reduction in Germany, a 2.6% drop in output in Japan and a 1.6% reduction in the US. A separate report yesterday from the International Labour Organisation said a worsening economy could see 50 million more people out of work worldwide as a result of the financial and economic crisis that began in 2007. Brown was forced to admit for the first time yesterday that the UK is in "a deep recession(衰 退)", sounding a very different note from his claims in the autumn that Britain was better prepared than other countries to resist the recession. News International chief Rupert Murdoch told the crisis was getting worse: "It‘s going to take drastic action to turn it around, if it can be turned around quickly. I believe it will take some time. We‘ve been living in the western world way above our means. We‘ve been on a great binge(狂欢作乐) and it‘s come to an end; and we have to live though the correction." Howard Davies, director of the London School of Economics, said: "People in the UK and the US are going to get poorer. They will have to spend less than their income for a while." Although growth in the rest of the world is also expected to slow sharply, the fund said expansion in China and India would spare the global economy as a whole from reduction this year. For the UK, the IMF said it was revising down its growth forecast from -1.3% to -2.8%, and had also become more depressing about the prospects of recovery in 2010. With the government obliged to call a general election by the spring of 2010, ministers have been hoping that the economy will bounce back from the middle of this year to record growth of around 1.75% next year. The IMF said it expected the UK to register virtually no growth at all in 2010, with GDP expanding by 0.2%. 1. According to IMF, which country would be less hard-hit by the economic crisis? A. Germany B. U.K. C. Japan D. The U.S. 2. In Brown‘s claims in the autumn that Britain he might __________. A. declare the UK was in "a deep recession" B. declare the UK was in "a shallow recession" C. declare the UK was not well prepared for the recession. D. declare the UK would not suffer economic crisis. 3. What‘s the idea of Rupert Murdoch towards the present economic situation? A. The situation of the economic crisis was getting better. B. It will take us some time for us turn bad situations around. C. It will be soon before we turn bad situations around. D. Westerners can live as easily as before in the same way. 4. According to the passage, economy would also rise in both___________. A. China and India B. UK and the U.S. C. Japan and Japan D. Germany and France 5. Why did ministers hope the economy to bounce back soon? A. Because they wanted British to become much richer. B. Because IMF revised down its growth forecast from -1.3% to -2.8%. C. Because the government called on a general election by the spring of 2010. D. Because there were some signs for UK‘s situation to be getting better. 26. Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part ,drivers. DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles. One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The ,winner,‖ if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire. ,You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,‖ says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. ,Even ants can do all these tasks effortlessly . It‘s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.‖ The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately, Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there‘s a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed. 1(Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because . A(the road was too rough for the drivers B(they did not have any human guidance C(the distance was too long for the vehicles D(the prize money was unattractive to the drivers 2(DARPA organized the race in order to . A(raise money for producing more robotic vehicles B(train more people to drive in the desert C(build up body. D(improve the vehicles for future wars 3(From the passage we know ,robotic vehicles‖ are a kind of machines that A(can do effortlessly whatever tasks living thing can B(can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit C(can move from place to place without being driven by human beings D(can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down 4(In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was ,. A(about eight miles B(six miles C(almost seven miles D(about nine mile 5(In the last paragraph, we can conclude that____ A( a long way to go for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties B( a long way to go for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie . C(a long way for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple one that a little child can solve D(a long way for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face 27. As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more. Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school.,And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. It‘s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that‘s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear. "When I‘m writing with a pen, I find I often can‘t remember how to write a character, though I feel I‘m familiar with it." "I‘m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper." Many students don‘t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it‘s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer‘s emotion. Through one‘s handwriting, people can get to know one‘s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them" To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand. 1.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing. B. To Type or To Hand Write C. Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters. 2.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______. A. they are usually asked to e-mail their Homework and Essays B. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently C.they find it not easy to remember how to write a character D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China. 3. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting? A. Handwriting contains the writer‘s emotion. B. The writer‘s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting, C. Handwriting can impress people well and build one‘s self-confidence D. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. 4. The underlined expression ,taking stock in‖(Paragraph 4) probably means_____. A. getting bored with B. becoming crazy about C. getting dependent on D. getting curious about 5.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that_______. A. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting B. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day C. more and more students will give up writing on a computer D. the typing article better expresses one‘s emotion and quality 28. China‘s government has been trying all measures to reduce pollution in the past few years. Now people can enjoy a fresh environment everywhere.

"Mark Twain" was the name used by Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) when he wrote books. His father was a lawyer, but a poor one, who lived at Florida, Missouri. The family was so poor that Samuel did not receive much teaching. He had to learn all that he could from the people whom he met. His father died when he was very young, and then there was even less money than before. Many of the men in this part of America worked in the ships on the great River Mississippi, and he did this himself at one time (1857). Where did he find the name "Mark Twain"? It came from the great river itself. It was part of one of the cries used by men who worked in the ships. When a man called "By the mark twain!" he meant that the river was "two marks deep" there, that is to say, six feet deep ( "Twain" is an old form of the word "Two".) Samuel Clemens often heard these words when he was young, and he used them as a penname all his life. During his work on the Mississippi he met travelers of all kinds, and this helped him a great deal when he started to write. But the number of travelers became smaller when war started in America in 1861. Many of the great ships on the river stopped work. Samuel left then and went to Nevada with his brother, who was at that time Governor of Nevada. There, near the town of Carson, Samuel became a gold miner, but he never made much money at the time. He soon saw that life in the gold mines was not for him. He also tried writing for the newspapers in Nevada, and this seemed more hopeful. He found that he could write. He went to Europe in 1867 and visited France and Italy. In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon, and two years later he was spending nearly all his time writing. Among his books is his own story (1908). He is now always known as Mark Twain, and many people do not even know that his family name was Clemens. He traveled in America and in England, and went to Oxford in 1907. He was one of the greatest American writers of the time, and could ake his readers laugh – a thing which few writers can do. He died in 1910. 1. "Mark Twain" was _________. A. a famous American writer B. name of a book C. a great river in America D. a large ship 2 As a child, Samuel did not get much education because _________.

According to the writer of the passage, a good writer could _________. A.,write a lot for his readers B. make a lot of money for his family C. cause his readers to laugh D. travel everywhere he wanted 30. Zipped into a bag, it looks like a large umbrella. Unfolded, it goes along the street like any other bicycle. It‘s the "A-bike", the brainchild (脑力劳动的产物) of British inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, who made history in the 1970s by developing the world‘s first pocket calculator. He described his new invention as "the world‘s smallest, lightest foldable bicycle". "My original thought was that if you could have a bicycle that was dramatically lighter and more firm than the ones that exist today, it would change the way in which bicycles are used,"said Sinclair. The mini-bike, showed in Singapore last week and set to go on sale worldwide in 2005 at a price of nearly US$300, is built for riders as heavy as 112 kilograms and is height-adjustable(可调整高度的). It takes about 20 seconds to fold or unfold. Its wheels are a quarter the size of those on a regular bicycle, but Sinclair promises a smooth ride for most cyclists. "You require no extra energy to ride the A-bike and it can go up to 15 miles per hour (24 kilometers per hour)," he said. Constructed mainly of plastic, the 5.5-kilogram bicycle folds into a package of less than 0.03 cubic meters (立方米). Sinclair also invented the first pocket TV in 1984 and the futuristic C5 electric tricycle in 1985. He said he hoped the bicycle would attract common citizens, officials, campers or anyone needing transport for a short trip and he said the next step for the A-bike was to add an electric motor in a few years. 1. The most important character of this kind of bike is its ________ . A. big size B. light weight C. beautiful appearance D. foldable structure 2. The wheels of a regular bicycle is ________ the size of this kind of bike. A. four times B. three times C. one-fourth D. one-third 3. This kind of new bike is mainly made of ________ .

A great inventor of a new bike 5.This kind of new bike hasn‘t been fixed with ________ . A. a wheel B. an electric motor C. pedal D. a hand 31. Will it matter if you don‘t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you don‘t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals. 1. The results of the test show that ______ A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies. B. breakfast has much to do with people‘s health. C. a person will work better if he has simple breakfast D. breakfast only affects those who work with their brains. 2. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don‘t eat breakfast, you will____. A. not lose weight B. be healthier C. gain weight D. lose weight, 3. We can infer from the passage that _____ A. one can work better without breakfast. B. morning diet will do good to your health. C. reducing lunch and supper will help lose weight. D. breakfast is more important than lunch and supper., 4. What is the best title for this passage? A. Good Breakfast B. Why Eating Breakfast? C. No eating, No gaining, D. What is breakfast Keys: 32. At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his schoolmates up to start a baby-sitting circle. Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a , 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer. He set up Peter Blackborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, colour term-planner that now students all over the UK are using. ,I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative,‖ he says, ,I believed that I could do a better job and decided to have a go‖. Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money. ,Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves,‖ he says ,I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college.‖ Friends believe that Blackburn will make , 1 million within 5 years. He is not quite so sure, however. ,There‘s a lot to be done yet,‖ he says. 1. Choose the right order of the facts given in the passage. a. He spent his holiday preparing a plan. b.

I have just recently discovered that there is such a thing as stockphotography1. I have gone through the inventory2 of a number of agencies that sell stock photos to see what their photos are really of. Basically stock photos are photos that you have stored on your computers. These agencies then accept these photos and sell them on the Internet. There is also a branch of this called micro stock photography. These are small photos that sell for about $1 or less. This can be a profitable3 business if you know what you‘re getting into and if you know your way around. You can get a percentage of the sale price if your photos are downloaded. Most of the pictures that I saw were photos of people doing different activities or going about their daily tasks. Neat pictures with white or black backgrounds are usually the most popular. You are probably wondering why these simple photos would be downloaded so often. This is because the buyers of stock photos use them on their site or on magazines. The buyers are mostly web or pictures designers that don‘t have the time to create their own pictures for a project. If you wish to get into this, you must take really good photos and you must know clearly how the photos are going to be used. If you know the buyers and where they will use your photos, you‘ll know exactly what kinds of photos to take. It is also recommended that you search through stock photo sites to see what is selling and what is not so that you don‘t waste your time taking pictures that won‘t sell. Notes: 1. stock photography 库存图片 2. inventory n.存货,库存 3. profitable adj.有利润的 Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question. 1. The author starts the second paragraph with _______. A. a definition B. an explanation C. a comparison D. a discussion 2. How is the fifth paragraph mainly developed? A. By using question and answer. B. By expressing the author‘s opinions directly. C. By listing examples. D. By giving evidence and argument. 3. The passage is developed mainly by ____________. A. giving examples B. showing the facts and giving tips C. describing the changes over time D. comparing similarities and differences 4. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. Other kinds of stock photos. B. More tips regarding stock photos. C. The prices of pictures sold on the Internet. D. How stock photos can be downloaded. 34. Last week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner. When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主). Then waitress later commented on my dad‘s thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect! After a while, the soldier appeared at out table(I don‘t know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying ,thanks‖ to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say ,thanks‖. They shook hands as the soldier left. Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her ,thanks‖ to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip. Everyone witnessed something exemplary(可作榜样的) in the human spirit that night. I can only hope to see more of this in the future. 1. the waitress performed The Pearl Fisherman in the restaurant because____.

I‘ll be the first to admit that I am a technophobe(对技术有恐惧感的 人).Who would have guessed that a website would help repay a 20-year-old loan? I‘1l always remember my last day at school. My best friend, Jenny, had organized a party in the Sixth Form Common Room; Jenny asked me to go to the supermarket with her to buy all the snacks. "I‘m really looking forward to this party, Stingy," she said. Everyone called me Stingy instead of Debbie because they thought I didn‘t like to spend money. Actually, it was true. "There‘s lots of money in the kitty(零星凑起的一笔钱). Let‘s go crazy!" Going crazy meant buying enough snacks to feed an army. It came to , 19.90,which was a lot of money in 1982. Jenny gave me a guilty( I was going to live with my uncle‘s family until I started university. I tried to get in touch with Jenny but her family had moved. My ,20 was lost. Until.

Life on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute for it. The current assumption is that our basic needs for water — whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met . Given that premise (前提), there are two basic routes we can go: more equal access to water or better engineering solutions. Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal changes of the river — the pulse of the water. And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the downstream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the near future, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance. The engineers‘ ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability, too. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less floodplain (洪泛区) agriculture — none of which were expected. And their average economic life is assumed to be thirty years. Dams don‘t exist forever, but what will replace them is not clear. The challenge for the future is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology (转基因) will allow us to breed better dry-land crops, there is no market for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World? 1(What‘s the main idea of this passage? A(The engineering solutions to water resource and their limitation. B(The challenge for the future. C(The basic means of controlling water. D(The challenge for developing crops. 2(Which of the following statements is NOT true for meeting our basic needs for water? A(Water resource should be used more reasonably. B(More dams should be built in river basins. C(More wetlands should be protected from destruction. D(More dry-land crops could be developed in Africa. 3(The author suggests that governments will have no excuse for their careless ignorance in the future because . A(The ecological destruction will be known to the public by researchers B(The ecological destruction will no longer be a problem in the future C(The future is an information age D(Governments will face greater challenge in the future 4(The author mentions all the problems caused by dams EXCEPT . A(fewer fish B(less grazing land C(less floodplain agriculture D(less farming land 5(The last sentence probably implies that . A(No one will invest in developing locally appropriate crops in Africa B(Researchers have no interest in developing dry-land crops C(Research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World may be profitable D(There is less water resource in the Third World 37. On hearing the words ―Just do it!‖, you will know there is a Nike product nearby(If it’s ―Always Coca-Cola‖, you can be sure someone wants to sell you a refreshing drink. An advertising slogan(广告标语) is to a brand what eyes are to a person(The slogan helps people understand the brand better by telling them what it wants to sell to its customers(Good slogans leave a message inside people’s minds(It’s almost certain that every brand has a popular slogan.

Before the early 1960‘s people interested in the differing roles of the left and right hemispheres(半球) of the brain depended almost entirely on facts drawn from animal research, form studies of patients with one-sided brain damage. But it was possible to find out which brain hemisphere was most involved in speech and other functions in normal people by having them listen to two different words coming to the two ears at the same time. This became known as the ,dichotic listening‖ procedure. When several word pairs are given in a row, people are unable to report them all, and most right-handers prefer to report, and report more correctly, words given to their right ears. This seems to be related to the fact that signals from the right ear, although sent to both hemispheres, are better sent to the left hemisphere which controls speech. People who have speech represented(回忆) in the right hemisphere, a very unusual occurrence even in left-handed people, more correctly report what their left ears hear. In contrast to the right-ear advantage for speech, there is generally a left-ear advantage for another type of auditory(听觉的) signal: music. When right-handed people listen to melodic patterns they report them better from the left ear. 1. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage? A. An Introduction to Speech Damage in Patients with Brain Damage. B. An Investigation into the Role of the Brain‘s Hemispheres. C. An Analysis of Left and Right-handed People. D. An Examination of ,Dichotic Listening‖. 2. The ,dichotic listening‖ procedure could best be described as hearing _______. A. two different words in the same ear twice B. the same word twice in the same ear C. two different words in different ears D. two different words twice in two ears 3. according to the passage, right-handed people normally _______. A. have better hearing in their both ears B. have little difficulty in reporting words given to their right ears C. are unable to report word pairs given to their left ears D. correctly report word pairs given in a row 4. according to the passage, music is best appreciated when heard by _______. A. the left ear of right-handers B. people with a left-ear advantage C. left-handers in their right ears D. right-handed people who understand melodic patterns 39. Almost 55,000 people who have had a major impact on British society are profiled in a new 60-volume book that has taken 12 years to compile. It has cost more than ,25 million and taken 10,000 writers to update the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Murder victims Stephen Lawrence and James Bulger are among those joining the likes of Queen Victoria and Gandhi. The new version of the dictionary, which was founded in 1882, costs ,7,500 and takes up 12 feet of shelf space. Projects director Robert Faber said Stephen Lawrence was included because his death triggered "dramatic developments in British policing and social policy". Women make up 10% of the entries - double the previous share - and include Queen Elizabeth I, Dusty Springfield, Linda McCartney and Virginia Woolf, whose father compiled the first edition. Alongside the famous names are lesser known individuals such as the inventor of snooker, army reservist (预备役军人) Neville Chamberlain. Stephen Lawrence and James Bulger were both included because of the "overwhelming soul-searching (真挚的自我反省、深思) and examination of education and social policy" which followed their deaths. Mr Faber said: "These are not just people who were killed but people who had an impact. Jill Dando is there as much for her career but also because her death became a public event. "So many of these people have seized the public imagination and have contributed to public debate.", 1. A. About 5. B. About 55. C. About 550. D. About 5500. 2.

D. ,125 40. surging commodity (商品) prices could worsen poverty in many poor countries, the International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday. A new IMF study, seeing the effect of soaring oil and food costs, said many poor and developing countries would likely have to change their economic policies in response to soaring commodity prices. ,Some countries are at a dangerous point，‖ warned IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn. ,If food prices rise further and oil prices stay the same, some governments will no longer be able to feed their people and at the same time keep stability in their economies，‖ Strauss-Kahn said. The IMF chief called for a ,broad cooperative approach‖ to help handle higher oil and food prices, and said the IMF stood ready to assist countries in need. Strauss-Kahn said the international community would also have to play a role in helping to reduce the effect of commodity price shocks which have caused protests in some countries. European truckers have blockaded major roads to protest fuel prices in recent weeks and food riots (骚乱) have occurred in Cameroon, Bangladesh, and Somalia among other countries in recent months. ,Poor countries that are highly dependent on food imports are particularly vulnerable (易受 影响的) to rising food prices，‖ the IMF report said. Anti-poverty campaigners are concerned that rising commodity costs could roll back advances made through anti-poverty campaigns in recent years, particularly because poorer families tend to spend much more of their household income on food. The IMF report found that poor households are most affected by food price inflation and ,warned that the share of undernourished people in developing countries could rise rapidly above the current 40 percent of total population‖( Energy and food values are still rising and the IMF said its research suggests ,the problem is worsening‖. The Washington-based fund said it is working closely with its member countries to help reduce inflationary (通货膨胀的) pressures taking into account countries‘ specific needs. The report said that global food markets ,need to be kept open‖ and that ,restrictive policies‖， such as export taxes and bans, should be removed. 1(To reduce the effects of rising oil and food prices, the IMF suggests ________. A(increasing export taxes B(placing restrictions on export C(global food markets shouldn‘t be kept open D(taking different measures to cooperate with its member countries 2(Why could rising commodity costs roll back advances made through anti-poverty campaigns? A(Because European truckers have blockaded major roads to protest fuel prices. B(Because poorer families tend to spend much more of their household income on food. C(Because energy and labor costs are still rising and the problem is worsening. D(Because the IMF hasn‘t prepared well to assist countries in need. 3(According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A(The problem of commodity price increase exists all over the world. B(Some developing countries do better in controlling oil price increase. C(IMF is going to help reduce the effect of commodity price shocks. D(Food price increase affects poor households badly. 4(What‘s the main idea of the passage?

However, my parents felt worried, and they complained, ―Now that the present system of the college entrance exam hasn’t changed, can you cope with the fierce competition without extra lessons and enough exercise?‖ Believe it or not, no summer vacation has been so meaningful to me as that of this year. Every day, I spent several hours going over my lessons. I also had time to relax and enjoy my hobbies. I went swimming, watched interesting programs on TV, did some reading and met my friends. In addition, I participated in community work and this has raised my awareness of public service. I really enjoyed my vacation. 三、判断正误 12.【答案】错 【解析】to talk 改成talking。Try doing 表,试着去做某事(看是否有效果)‖ 13.【答案】determining?determined 14.【答案】being performed now 15.【答案】hears----sounds 16.【答案】of great benefit 17.【答案】An?A 18.【答案】find—finding 19.【答案】would ?should 20.【答案】over?by 21.【答案】twice 后加as 第39页 共40页 四、短语填空 22.【答案】be related to 23.【答案】To start with 24.【答案】committed a murder 25.【答案】devoted herself to ; thanks to; is set in;are likely to ; more than 26.【答案】in honour 27.【答案】into 28.【答案】aware of 29.【答案】with anxiety 30.【答案】goes off 31.【答案】all at once 五、句型转换 32.【答案】share;with 33.【答案】Since; punishing; unless 34.【答案】such a person 35.【答案】is popular with 36.【答案】to pass; result of 37.【答案】Hardly when 38.【答案】to be out 39.【答案】has received great interest due to 40.【答案】Buried in 41.【答案】that/which; displayed 第40页 共40页
