Passage 1

 

There was once an ant that was very thirsty. It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any. Then suddenly,  when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it. The ant drank the water, which saved its life. The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings. 

The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.  “Why are you sad?”  asked the ant. 

    “I’m the *er of a giant” the girl told the ant. “He won’t let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley （大麦） and rye  )黑麦(out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.”

“That will take you a month!” the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds  “I know,” the girl cried,” and if I haven’t finished it by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!" 

 "Don’t cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you. "

Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.

Passage 2

 

What makes a person become a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning  that are different from those of others? The answer is "no ." It is not the tools a scientist use but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a tool is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too,  that knowing how to investigate,  how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works. 

The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 

1. What makes a scientist according to the passage? ______B____ 

              A. tools he uses.                            B. The way he uses his tools. 

              C. ways of learning.                     D. The various tools he uses. 

1. The underlined part in the passage shows ______C____.
   1. the importance of information 
   2. the importance of thinking
   3. the difference between scientists and ordinary people 
   4. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs 

 

1. A sound scientific theory should be one ____A______. 
   1. Works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times.
   2. Does not allow any changes even under different conditions. 
   3. can be used for many purposes     
   4. Leave no room for improvement
   5. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate ____C______. 
      1. that measurements are keys to success in science
      2. that accuracy of mathematics
      3. that investigations are important in science
      4. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations 15. What is the main idea of the passage? _______D___    A. The theory of relativity.
      5. Exactness is the core science.
      6. Scientists are different from ordinary people.
      7. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist. 第三部分：词汇与语法（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分, 满分 10 分）  此部分共有 5 个未完成的句子, 针对每个句子中未完成的部分有 4 个选项,   请从A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出正确选项。

Mr. White lived in a small village. His parents hadn't enough money to send him to school. He had to help them to do something in the fields. But he didn't like to live in the poor place. When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa. 

One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, "Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir? " 

"Certainly, "said Mr. Turner. " One day I met a rhinoceros (犀牛) by a river..."

There were once many sheiks (阿拉伯的酋长) who wanted to marry Queen Maura,  for she was one of the most beautiful and powerful queens of Arabia. 

However, she did not like most of the sheiks, and soon there were only three left on her list of possible husbands. 

These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. 

It was very hard for the Queen to choose the best one. 

One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal. 

She asked them to give her something to eat.  

The first sheik gave her some stale (不新鲜的) food left over from the day before. The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel's tail. 

The third sheik, whose name was Hakim, gave her some of the most tender (嫩的) and tasty meat. 

After the meal, Queen Maura left the sheiks' camp. 

The next day, she invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. 

She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before. 

Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with him. 

Queen Maura was now certain which of the sheiks she wanted to marry. 

“Hakim is the most generous of you, ” she told them, ”so I want to marry him and he will become king. ”

马丁路德金是一个黑人牧师，他在 20 世纪 50 年度和 60 年代间成为了一名民权

运动的领袖。

Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. 

King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250, 000 Americans on a march in Washington D. C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech “I Have a Dream” before the Lincoln Memorial. The “dream” is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later. 

Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.

If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals. 

However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the threes because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear? 

If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a kit of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests.

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain. 

Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything.

Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. 

Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. 

As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. 

Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.

            2. One who took too much of the laughing gas would die.  (A)
               1. T          B. F  在挑选朋友时，我们要非常仔细。一个好朋友可以有助于你的学习。

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠). 

A good friend, above all else, tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. 

At the same time, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. 

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me. 

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

法国大革命爆发于 1789 年。那时的法国处于危机之中。

The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political *ers were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in *. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

               1. T          B. F  一个外国人对美国的第一印象可能是每个人都是匆忙的——经常处于压力之下。

A foreigner's first impression of the U. S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush---often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务) . Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. 

Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you. 

You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push pass you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point. 

The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse”. We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return-be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments both business and daily life. 

Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call,  for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. 

1. The statement that Americans are impolite to their business colleagues is wrong.  (A)
   1. T          B. F 
   2. In the fourth paragraph, "a high priority " means "a first concern” .  (A)
      1. T         B. F 
      2. Americans evaluate a business colleague by establishing business relations.  (B)
         1. T          B. F 
         2. This passage mainly talks about how Americans do business with foreigners.  (B)
            1. T          B. F 
            2. We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is praiseful.  (A)
               1. T          B. F

When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturday, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued (发行). 

On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch,  my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if England won,  but she didn’t tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio. 

England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in,  my mother was standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon.

当 John 和 Victoria Falls 夫妇到达纽约要待上一年的时候，他们并没有随身带太多东西。他们计划或者住在一间有家具的公寓或者买二手家具。

 

When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The rent of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses. 

What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers,  young married couples—people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy. 

One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

    36. Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses? (D)

1. Selling home furnishings.  B. Renting furnished apartments. 

          C. Selling used furniture.     D. Renting home furnishings. 

37. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture? __________ （C）

A. Because the furniture they get in this way is new. 

1. Because it save them a lot of money. 
2. Because it saves them much trouble and money. 
3. Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way. 
4. What can you infer from the passage? _____B_____ A. The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable. 
   1. Renting furniture is not popular in the couple's home town. 
   2. Only those who don’t have enough money to rent furniture. 
   3. People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented. 
   4. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? ____B______           A. Rent or Buy?             B. A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings. 

C. Furnished Apartments.  D. A New Idea. 

1. Young people liked renting home furniture in that ____D______ A. they have less money. 
   1. they don’t want to buy old furniture. 
   2. the new furniture is of good quality. 
   3. they don't have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.  美国文化的一个特征，已然成了一个传统，就是尊重凭自己努力而成功的人——这个人通过自己的努力，通常是通过体力工作而出人头地。

 

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man—the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort. 

This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even  luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the  family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children； yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward；furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easy assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dish washing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. 

1. From Para. 1, we know that in America_____A_____. 
   1. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man 
   2. people can always rise to the top through their won efforts 
   3. college professors win great respect from common workers 
   4. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labor

      4. it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food

         1. work in a furniture shop  B. keep accounts for a bar       C. wait to lay the table     D. serve customers in a restaurant

   2. American Attitude toward Manual Labor 
   3. Characteristics of American Culture 
   4. The Development of Manual Labor  人类如何发明文字不为人知；换句话说，语言的起源是个谜。

 

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown；in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters,  which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. 

The power of words, then, lies in their associations—things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. 

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. 

1. The origin of language is _____D_____.
   1. a legend handed down from the past 
   2. a matter that is hidden or secret 
   3. a question difficult to answer 
   4. a problem not yet solved

             C. peculiarity  D. representative function

也就是说，他们过度关心自己的外在和行为了。

 

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious；that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression on am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? 

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. 

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true". It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. 

Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. 

Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. 

1. What does the author try to prove by citing "what kind of impression am I making?" (Para 1) ______B____
   1. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance. 
   2. People's shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions. 
   3. It's natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.
   4. Shy people think they are different from others. 
   5. According to the writer, self-awareness is _____A_____.
      1. a good quality  B. the cause of unhappiness 

          C. harmful to people  D. a weak point of shy people 

1. That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ______D____.
   1. good           B. unreal 

           C. very reasonable    D. harmful 

1. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?

______C____.

1. Shyness helps us to develop our potential 
2. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better 
3. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life 
4. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem 
5. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ______B____.
   1. should find more of their weakness 
   2. should understand themselves in the right way 
   3. had better ignore their weakness 
   4. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem 

在美国，早晨非常早打电话给别人不太平常。如果你很早打电话给他，当他刮胡子或吃早饭的时候，那么这个电话表明事情非常重要，并且需要立即关注。

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11: 00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. 

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U. S. A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U. S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 

1. What is the main idea of this passage? _____B_____
   1. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U. S. 
   2. The role of time in social life over the world. 
   3. If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U. S. 
   4. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same. 
   5. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? ______B____
      1. A matter of work. 
      2. A matter of life or death. 
      3. You want to see him or her. 
      4. You want to make an appointment with him or her. 
      5. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U. S. A.?   (B)
         1. at 7：00 am      B. at 4：pm 

            C. at the midnight  D. at 4：am 

1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ____D______

   3. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.

S. A..

2. From the passage we can safely infer that ____B______
   1. it's a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.

   4. if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation.  有三种目标：短期的，中期的和长期的。

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. 

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. 

The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year,  or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow,  your motivation and desire will increase. 

Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 

1. Our long-term goals mean a lot _____B_____.
   1. if we cannot reach solid short-term goals 
   2. if we complete the short-term goals 
   3. if we have dreams of the future 
   4. if we put forward some plans 
   5. New short-term goals are built upon _____D_____.
      1. a daily basis       B. your achievement in a week        C. current activities   D. the goals that have been completed 
      2. When we complete each step of our goals, ____C______. 
         1. we will win final success 
         2. we are overwhelmed 
         3. we will build up our confidence to achieve success 
         4. we should have strong desire for setting new goals 
         5. What is main idea of this passage? _____C_____.
            1. Life is a dynamic thing.        B. We should set up long-term goals. 

C. Different kinds of goals in life.   D. The limitation of long-term goals 

1. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?

______C____ 

1. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without achieving short-term  goals. 
2. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. 
3. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us. 
4. We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.  到底什么让人成为了科学家？是不是他有与众不同的学习方法或工具呢？

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist,  however,  goes one step further,  he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works. 

The scientist's knowledge must be exact There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 

1. What makes a scientist according to the passage? _____B_____           A. The tools he uses.      B. The way he uses his tools.

 68. A sound scientific theory should be one that _____A_____.

1. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same  conditions at other times 
2. does not allow any changes even under different conditions 
3. can be used for many purposes 
4. leave no room for improvement 
5. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate ______C____.
   1. that measurements are keys to success in science 
   2. that accuracy of mathematics 
   3. that investigations are important in science 
   4. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations 
   5. What is the main idea of the passage? _____D_____ A. The theory of relativity. 
      1. Exactness is the core of science. 
      2. Scientists are different from ordinary people. 
      3. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.  很多在伦敦工作的人都喜欢在伦敦市外居住，每天早上乘坐地铁，开车或坐公

交去办公室和学校，即使这意味着他们得早起晚归。

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. 

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own. 

Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. 

Some people, however, take no interest in country things. For example, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want：the rest they are prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 

71. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ___B_______ A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. 

1. People who work in London prefer to live in the country. 
2. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London. 
3. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the City. 
4. With the same money____C______, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. 
   1. getting a small flat with a garden 
   2. having a small flat with a garden 
   3. renting a small flat without a garden 
   4. buying a small flat without a garden 
   5. When the garden is in blossom, it means that one___B_______ has been rewarded. 
      1. living in the country 
      2. having spent time working in the garden 
      3. having a garden of his own 
      4. having been digging, planting and watering 
      5. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that ___A_______if they had to live outside London. 
         1. their life was meaningless     B. their life was invaluable 

C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life  75. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to _____C_____.

Passage 1

 

The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country,  it is not the largest in the world. In 2000,  its population was over 222 million.

When this land first became a nation,  after winning its independence from England,  it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west,  new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time,  there were 48 stars. In 1959,  however,  two more stars were added to the flag,  representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.

Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world.

 

1. Which of the following is TRUE?   (B)
2. America is the largest country in the world.
3. The United States lies next to Canada and Mexico.
4. America covers most part of the North American continent.
5. Mexico is to the north of Canada.
   1. After winning its independence,  the United States _____C____.
   2. had nothing to do with England
   3. made India part of its land
   4. mainly developed westward
   5. took over parts of Canada and Mexico

 

1. The United States didn’t have ________ states until _____B___.
   1. thirteen; 1959 
   2. fifty; 1959 
   3. fifty; this land first became a nation 
   4. fifty; 1964 
   5. Why is English the language of America?  (D)
      1. Because English is the native language of the Indians. 
      2. Because most Americans come from all over the world. 
      3. Because Canada is America's nearest neighbor. 
      4. Because most of the people who first settled in America were from England. 
      5. The best title for the passage is" ___C_____". 
         1. The States of America 
         2. The language of America 
         3. The United States of America 
         4. The Culture and Customs of America 

 

Passage 2

There was once an ant that was very thirsty.

    It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any.

    Then suddenly,  when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst,  a large drop of water fell on it.

    The ant drank the water,  which saved its life.

    The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness,  the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.

    The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.

    "Why are you sad?" asked the ant.

    "I'm the *er of a giant." the girl told the ant. "He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain,  barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together."

    "That will take you a month!" the ant said,  looking at the huge pile of seeds.     "I know, " the girl cried,  "and if I can’t finish by tomorrow,  the giant will eat me for his supper!"

    "Don't cry, " the ant said,  "my friends and I will help you."

    Soon thousands of ants were at work,  separating the three kinds of seeds.

    The next morning,  when the giant saw that the work had been done,  he let the girl go. 

    Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.

I like playing sports and listening to music in my leisure time. My favorite sport is basketball. It’s very popular and it can make me healthy and strong. At first, I wasn’t that good at playing basketball, but a few weeks after joining the basketball training class I have improved good enough to play well. My father drives me to basketball practice because it’s far away from my home. My other leisure time experience is music. I always listen to music when I’m free. I even listen to music when I’m doing homework from time to time. I believe that music can help me relax and let my mind unwind. I always listen to music before I go to bed and it often makes me sleep like a kitten. Most of the time, music can make me happy. I like listening to either pop music or classical music. My favorite band is Westlife, they were once the most popular band in the world, but they have broken up. What a pity! Playing sports and listening to music are my leisure-time activities. I enjoy them very much!

We can also visit foreign website without paying.In addition, when we confront some problems, we can go to Baiduknowledge or Yahooclever to ask for help, and we can often become satisfying answers.

Now that our pace of life and work becomes quicker, we somehow become lazier in physical exercise. But we know there is a need for everyone of us to exercise. Physical exercise keeps us fit not only in health but also in spirit. I mean we could save the money for doctors and at the same time we could have a sharp mind as long as we exercise properly. As to my favorite sport, basketball is my first choice. I love this sport because it brings joys and health to my life. When I got tired from office work, I went to the sports ground and felt refreshed. If there were worries and cares from daily life, I went to the sports ground. There everything went away except basketball. In sum, it is basketball that keeps me in good shape and mood.

训练5 Which is more important, health or wealth?（健康和财富，哪个更重要？）

1.介绍你对健康和财富的看法。2.简述你的理由。

Which is more important, wealth or health? This is a difficult question which is often argued by people. Everybody has his own answer. In my view, I prefer the former than the latter.   

Why? The following points can well support my statement. 

Firstly, wealth include not only money but also knowledge, experience, intelligence, etc. one who has no money would has neither food for eating nor  clothes for dressing, how can he do anything else. Secondly, if one only has health and he has no knowledge, we think he is a ignorant man. He can eat, sleep, walk, but he can't make any contribution to the society. Finally, if you have wealth, you can do anything you want to do, such as travel, buying anything you eager for a long time, you can also do something good for the poor and for anyone who wants help. 

In short, wealth can bring you anything which involve health. I think this is a practical answer

1.学习方法对英语学习的重要性 2.你的英语学习方法

English is one of the most important subjects in middle school.  Almost everyone knows that we should learn English well, but few of us know how to learn it well. Karl Marx has set a good example for us. He once said, "When one is learning a foreign language, he must use the foreign language." In this way, he could use several languages. A saying goes, "Practice makes perfect." When we learn English, we should read more, speak more, listen to English from time to time and practise writing every day. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Only in this way can we learn it well

训练11 Honesty is the best policy（诚实乃上策）

1.写出你对“诚实乃上策”的看法 2.举例说明你的观点

There is an English proverb saying "Honesty is the best policy", which signifies the importance of honesty. What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.

It is usually better to be honest than dishonest.Sometimes honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone, but on the whole telling the truth is less harmful than lying. Dishonesty can result in guilty feelings, because distrust among people and even ruin your reputation. Do you still remember the boy who cried wolf for several times so no one would trust him?At last all his sheep were eaten by the wolf. His dishonesty brought him shame as well as damage.

So to sum up, honesty not only brings us honor and friendship,but also material gains.Honesty is the best policy we can take.

1.你喜欢的工作 2.说明理由

In the past three years of my college life I have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduation. Although my ideas are not consistent, I have decided on a college teacher as my life-long career.

A variety of reasons have led me to choose this occupation over other more lucrative ones. First, teaching is learning. To make my lectures more constructive and stimulating, I have to read more books, explore new knowledge and gain a better understanding of the world the very thing I enjoy in my life. Second, teaching means freedom and independence. As a teacher, I’m free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions, a privilege not everyone can have, even those with highly-paid positions. Finally, I like teaching because it offers certain peace of mind. No more rushing to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome.

Nothing, not even a big salary, can equal for the opportunity to continue learning, the satisfaction of being your own boss, and a gentle peace of life.

 

训练14 My favorite food（我最爱的食物）

1.你特别喜欢的食物 2.说明理由

 I like many kind of foods, such as dumpling, noodles, hamburger, egg soup and so on, but I like dumpling most.

       I like eating dumpling because it is so delicious, and dumpling also has many kinds of stuffing inside, Chinese people eat dumplings with soy sauce and vinegar, and sometimes with chili sauce and garlic, too. Every morning if you eat several dumplings and drink some dumpling soup, you will feel very warm. So dumpling is my favorite.

       Do you also like dumplings?  And what’s your favorite food?

 

训练15 Why I study English（我为何学习英语？）

1.你学习英语的主要原因 2.说明学习英语给你带来的好处

Why do I study English? Firstly, English is very useful. English is the most widely used language in the world. If we make a visit to foreign countries or do business with foreigners, we need to communicate with them in English. Secondly, with China becoming stronger and stronger, we have more chances to go abroad. We can know the English-speaking countries much better if we know English. Both China and English-speaking countries have realized the importance of the culture exchange. Above all, English is useful and important, and we must master English.

训练16 The Chinese new year（春节）

1.简单介绍中国新年（即春节）2.你最喜欢的新年庆祝活动

The Chinese New Year is an important festival for Chinese people all over the world. It is also called The Spring Festival or The Lunar New Year. On the Chinese calendar every year has an animal's name. These animals are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. 

    During the festival, people will visit their relatives and express good wishes to each other. They will put on new clothes and give their house a thorough clean. On the New Year’s eve, people will sit together and watch the spring festival gala on broadcast on CCTV. I like watching the gala very much and it is my favorite celebration way for the festival. 

 

训练17 Where to live（住在哪里？）

1. 有人喜欢住在城市 2.有人喜欢住在农村 3.你的看法

     There are so many people in the world. Different people have different ideas about where to live. Some people like to live in large cities while others like to live in the countryside. Of course, both cities and countryside have their own advantages and disadvantages. Some people appreciate the conveniences of the city, while other people enjoy the quiet life in the countryside. Some people think cities are noisy and polluted, while other people may think life in the countryside is very inconvenient.

But I like to live in the suburb, which is quite different from both of the two choices. Suburb is not very far from a city, and it has no noise and pollution from the city. I can breathe the fresh air every day. Every night I can sleep very well. I can drive to work. Every weekend, I can climb mountains for physical exercises. In a word, living in the suburb has a lots of benefits.

训练18 the book I like best（我最爱的一本书）

1.你最喜欢哪本书 2.说明理由

Everyone has his own favorite book, and I also have my favorite one. The book I like best is 'Three Days to See' written by an American deaf-and-dumb woman author and educator---- Helen Keller. The content of the book is very positive, and every time I read it I will feel my body is full of energy and desire. I feel if I can do as Helen did, I can realize any dream I have. Sometimes I think the points the book tells us can be an excellent rule for us to follow. This book helps me to find the real values of life. So it is my favorite book. 

 

训练19 TV ads（电视广告）

1.电视广告的优缺点 2.介绍一个你喜欢的电视广告

Today more and more advertisements are seen on the TV screen. It’s difficult to find a program without insertion of ads on TV. Food, clothes -- everything you can think of --are presented on television. Occasionally, we can also see some public welfare ads, appealing to people to respect the old or to protect the environment. 

As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of public welfare TV ads because they are interesting and informative. One example is the TV ad for the protection of shark fins. Many famous people appear in the ad, such as Yao Ming, and Guo Jingjing. But there is no denying that some of the TV ads are tedious and not trustworthy. Therefore, I think it is really high time that the TV stations strengthened the control of of advertisements and made them more attractive .

训练21 My mother（我的妈妈）

1.介绍你的母亲 2.描述一件母亲做过的事情和你对此的感受

I have a good mother. Her name is Yu Bihua. She has short and black hair. Her eyes are big, round and black. Her mouth is small, and she likes talking so much. She is not so tall. She often wears a brown coat, black trousers and black shoes. She is 47years old, but she looks young.

My mother works in a hospital and she is a nurse. She is very busy. Every morning, she gets up early. Then she goes to work on foot .Her work begins at 7:30 and she has lunch at 12:30. After lunch, she has a short rest and then goes to work again. At 6:00 p.m. she will finish the day and come back home. One day, as my mother is leaving the office, a man with his daughter came inside. The little girl looked so pale. My mother arranged her to do all the needed checks. When she finished, it was already 10 o’clock p.m. From this I can see my mother is so warm-hearted and I am proud of her.

训练 22 Money is not everything（金钱不是一切）

1.你对“金钱不是一切”的看法 2. 举例说明你的看法

As we all known, many people think that money is everything. They struggle for money their whole life. However, in my opinion, money doesn’t mean everything. I will tell you the reasons. 

     Many people thin that the richer, the happier. But, does money can really bring us true happiness? Money can be used to buy many things but not everything. You can buy a house but not family. You can buy a rose but not love. There is still something it cannot buy. And the 'something' refers to true happiness. 

     Money is not the real treasure. The real treasures in the world, including heath, care, wisdom, courage, are all impossible to be exchanged. Some people work so hard to earn money that they don’t pay attention to their health. When they get seriously ill, can money bring back their health? Possibly not. So, we shouldn't be the servant of money but the user. Money is not everything but a tool.

训练 23 My colleague/classmate（我的同事/同学）

1.介绍你的一位同事或同学 2.你这位同事/同学有什么特点

Li Hua is my classmate and she also one of my best friends. She is slim and beautiful with a pair of glasses. She is friendly and generous. She is good at English and I am good at maths, so we often help each other. Her interests are similar to mine. She likes traveling, reading and playing table tennis. She is the most knowledgeable person I have ever known. No matter what you ask, she can always find a perfect answer in her brilliant brain. We often play table tennis on weekend and sometimes we go to movies on Sundays. We will be best friends forever.

你卧床休息三天，特此请假（ask for a leave）

Dear Mr. Li,

      This is Wang Jun, and I am sorry to ask for a one-week sick leave. Yesterday (April 7^th), I was injured on my way home from school. I was riding my bike when a small car suddenly rushed beside me and hit the brake of my bike. I fell hard on the group and my two legs were badly injured. I am now lying in the Renming Hospital and my doctor ordered me to stay in bed for at least one week. I am really sorry for this. Thank you.

训练 25 My dream（我的梦想）要求：1.你的梦想是什么？ 2.如何实现你的梦想

Everyone has a dream. I also have a dream. I want to be a computer programmer. Because I like playing computer games，and then I want to make my own games. Of course, I know it is difficult to be a good computer programmer. So, I have to learn more the knowledge about the computer. For example, I'll have some computer lessons when I have time. And I will read more computer books everyday. What's more, I'll join the computer club in high school. In conclusion, I will do some things to improve my computer operation. I am sure my dream will come true one day.

训练 26 

假如你叫李华，你的同学正在展开一场讨论，主题是学生要不要参加体育锻炼。请根据下面提供的信息，给某英语报社写一封信，介绍讨论情况。

60%的学生：

1.应该每天进行体育锻炼

2.做早操、打乒乓、打篮球、但不要时间过长。

3.锻炼能增强体质，减少疾病。

40%的学生：

1.锻炼浪费时间

2.锻炼使人疲劳

3.锻炼以后很兴奋，较长时间不能投入学习

Dear Editor, 

     I’m writing to tell you about a discussion we’ve had about whether the students should take physical exercise. Most of the students (about 60%) think the students need to take physical exercise every day. We can do morning exercise, play table tennis or basketball, etc, but the playing time should not be too long. They think physical exercise can build body and protect people from illness. 40% of the students hold an opposite opinion. They think physical exercise takes up too much of their study time and often people feel tired or overexcited. 

     I hope this letter can provide you with useful information. Thanks!

                                            Yours,                                               Li Hua 训练 27 My father

1.介绍你的父亲 2. 描述一件父亲做过的事情和你对此的感受

My father is a tall man with a pair of glasses. Everyone says he is a kind-hearted man. He often helps his neighbors and even strangers whom he doesn’t know at all. I remember one day he lent 100 yuan to a stranger, who told him he had lost all his money and couldn’t go home. He has really done a lot for others. I don’t like him to do so because I think it has taken him too much time. When I discourage him, he always says with a smile, “The world needs warm hearts.” This attitude towards the world really influences me much. My father loves his family, and loves his work even better. In the company, he spends most of his time working, and often forgets to have meals or to go to bed. As a result, he doesn’t enjoy good health. This is my father and I am proud of having such a good father.

训练 28 Newspaper（报纸）

1.介绍你熟悉的报纸。2.介绍你喜欢看的报纸并说明理由。

21^st century is my favorite newspaper. It is an English language newspaper which is published in Beijing each week. It has sections of different kinds, including News of the Week, Today’s Word, Language Class, Sports and Music, and Students’ Report. There are plenty of beautiful pictures and interesting articles in it. I enjoy reading the newspaper. I read it to improve my English. I have learnt a lot of new words and useful expressions. Besides, I can get information about different things from politics to sports and music. 21^st Century is very popular with students and English learners in China. I love it. 训练 29 My interests（我的兴趣）

1.你的主要兴趣爱好 2.描述其中一项兴趣爱好

I have several interests and hobbies, including reading and shopping, but my chief love is fish keeping. I spend a lot of time with it and I have three large fish tanks, of which, one is 220 liters, one is 300 liters and the largest one is 700 liters. I only keep tropical fish, because I think that keeping marine fish is not just a lot more expensive but far more works required. I don't just keep fish in my fish tanks but I grow a lot of plants in them too, making them look like under water gardens. So, my fish are all very happy and healthy and they look extremely beautiful. I enjoy watching my favorite fish swimming peacefully inside their tanks. There is nothing else in this world can make me feel more relaxed and enjoyable!

1.你在英语学习中遇到过的困难 2.你如何客服这些困难的。

I have made a lot of improvements in English, but I still feel a little week at English vocabulary and grammar. The following is my way to overcome the difficulties. Everyday, I will spend half an hour reading some English newspapers to enlarge my vocabulary. And I will also spend half an hour listening to English radios like BBC to correct my pronunciation. Because I have trouble in English grammar, I have been attending an evening English class to study grammar. The teacher recommends us a grammar book “Advanced English Grammar”. It helps me with my English grammar a lot. The above is what I have done to overcome my difficulties
