D)on Reading Comprehension(45 point, 3 for each)One Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services.People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of what they need or want.When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper.But people used to use all kinds of things as money.One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money.In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money.Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China.They were round and had a square hole in the center.People strung（系）them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money.The first coins in England were made of tin.Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money.Later, other countries began to make coin of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive.Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money.They began to use paper money.The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.61.Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services? A)To sell a bicycle for ＄20 B)To get some money for old books C)To buy things you need or want D)To get paid for your work 62.Where were shells used as money in history? A)In the Philippines.B)In China C)In Africa
D)It is not mentioned 63.Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center? A)Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B)Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C)Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D)Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.64.Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive? A)Because they are easy to steal.B)Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C)Because they are not easy to carry around.D)Because they themselves are expensive, too.65.Which one do you choose as the best title for this passage? A)Money and Its Uses B)Different Things Used as Money C)Different Countries, Different Money D)The History of Money Two Research has shown that motivation（动机）is very important in learning a language;you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it.Different people will have different motives – the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment is only one of possible motives.But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.Courage is an essential attribute（属性）in learning a language.It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes---that is the way we learn.Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.Curiosity is not only a possible motivation.It is also a great help in your learning.Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture.It is not very helpful just to learn lots of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed（表达），the references which are being made, and the inferences which can be drawn from the information explicitly（明白地）given.So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English—watch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspaper and magazines which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read---not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays.They will show you how language is really used.The English language is not an abstract(抽象的)system;it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used, and much of its effect from a whole network of extra – linguistic（语言学之外的）knowledge.If you live in a country where English is the native language, you acquire this knowledge naturally, just as in China you acquired your own cultural knowledge unconsciously.But, because you are unlikely to be able to visit countries where English is spoken as the native language, you have to make a conscious effort to acquire this cultural awareness and knowledge.66.With what topic is this passage primarily concerned? A)Curiosity in Learning a Language
B)Courage in Learning a Language C)Motivation in Learning a Language
D)Qualities in Learning a Language 67.The author of this passage possibly is a ______.A)beginner of English Learning
B)foreign teacher of English C)Chinese teacher of English
D)Chinese student studying abroad 68.What does the author suggest in this passage? A)You should not learn grammar.B)You should ignore the rules of pronunciation.C)You should learn a language by making mistakes.D)You should learn a language at school 69.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A)You should be prepared to make mistakes in communication B)Words are the basis of English learning C)Good pronunciation is important to an English learner.D)Wanting to know everything does not help you learning a language.70.According to the author, what’s the best way of learning English? A)To study hard
B)To study abroad C)To learning about cultures
D)To make mistakes Three Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction（科幻小说）.Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kind of people.Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（原型）can be found in books written hundreds of years ago.These books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years.Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G.Wells, to mention just two well – known authors, have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers don’t writes about men from Mars or space adventure stories.They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind;or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection（反映）of the world which we live in now.Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones（含意）.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes（超越）science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances.Those who are sufficiently clear – sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.71.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A)Science fiction is fairly new in literature.B)Science fiction is rather popular with people today.C)Science fiction often deals with some form of ideal society.D)Hundreds of books classified as science fiction are printed every year.72.Earliest science fiction was written _____.A)one hundred years ago B)by Jules Verne and H.G.Wells C)to tell people how to imagine future worlds D)hundreds of years ago 73.Modern science fiction writers are interested in_______.A)adventures in space B)some form of ideal world C)future worlds which have nothing in common with our present society D)predicting developments in technology and their effects on society 74.In our present world, _____________________.A)science develops as fast as it is predicted by science fiction writers B)science develops faster than writers can imagine

This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”.That’s true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.For some people the peak comes during the morning.For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（独白）as: ”Get up, John!You will be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature－and－energy peak in the evening.Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better.Habit can help, Dr.Kleitmen believes.Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your hour.This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn（呵欠）and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and takes requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76.What is Dr.Kleitman’s new explanation?
It is that everyone has _________________________________________________________.77.When is the time your cycle of body temperature is at its peak?
It is ________________________________________________________________________.78.If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ______________________________________________________________________________.79.You are advised to rise with ________________ because it will help to keep your energy for the day’s work.80.According to the passage, does the peak come to people at the same time? ______________________________________________________________________________.Writing(25 points)（根据以下三点提示，写一篇不少于100个英文单词的短文）In Face of Soaring Book Prices 如今书价越来越高

In Face of Soaring Book Price（05年作文）
Just as man cannot live without food, so students cannot acquire knowledge without books.Unfortunately, book prices are so high nowadays that many students can hardly afford to buy them.In face of soaring book price, we have come up with some “tricks” to deal with this unfavorable situation.First, making full use of library resources is the most common “trick”.Our library has a large collection of books on various subjects and from different countries.We find it very beneficial to do so.The second “trick” is that we exchange our own books.As a saying puts it, “Buying books is not so good as borrowing them”.We tend to spend more time reading books borrowed from other students than our own books.Third, we buy books through co-payment.Since each student pays only a part of the cost, books do not seem to unaffordable.This is a self-deceiving “trick”, of course.Though we have thought of some “tricks” to cope with soaring prices, we sincerely hope that book prices will go down sharply so that every student will find books really affordable

阅读理解（40分）
请选择文章后所给问题的正确答案，并将答题卡上相应的字母涂黑，做在本试题册上无效。Passage 1 My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing-your brain.Keep your mind awake and you’ll stay young all over.These are exciting times.Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting.I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer;I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the motion that you are too old to go to back to school.I know a man who entered medical college at 70.He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician.Another man went to law school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future.You can do it if you care enough to try.Keep your mind awake and active;that’s the only youth elixir guaranteed to work.31.The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is _______ A.an impossibility
B.a scientific fact C a supposition
D a ridiculous conclusion 32.It is wrong to _______ A think oneself too old to go back to school
B keep one’s mind awake C try to stay young
D.get one’s degree with honors 33.The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became_______ A.an active lawyer
B.an electric engineer C.a distinguished doctor
D.a highly paid ceramic artist 34.The only youth elixir is to ______ A go back to school
B forget one’s own age
C keep in touch with young people D.keep one’s mind awake and active 35.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _____ A.human brain never gets old with age B.every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes old C.staying young is not difficult if one is willing to try D.there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what’s going on around you Passage2 If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago.We should probably have to say that we could not remember.But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day.We should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history.Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them.Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war.Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write.For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes , of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations.For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call “remembered history.” Some of it has now been written down.It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is.Because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing.But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.36.Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage?
A.“Remembered story”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B.Written records of the past plays a most important role in our learning of the human history.C.A written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questions
D.Where there are no written records, there is no history.37.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _______ A.there wad nothing worth being written down at that time.B.the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record.C.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire D.the people there had not known how to write 38.“remembered history” refers to ______ A.history based on a person’s imagination
B.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C songs and dances about the most important events.D.both B and C 39.“remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______ A.it is written down B.no written account is available C.it proves to be true.D.people are interested in it 40.It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had ____ A.kept a written record of every past event B.not burnt their written records in wars C.told exact stories of the most important happenings D.made more songs and dances Passage3
For years, international swimming has been controlled by a small number of powerful nations.The U.S, Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sport’s finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals.But the results of this month’s world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict.Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders.The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats.The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke(蛙泳).Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer.Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day.Ireland’s Michelle Smith delighted her country with the first of her three gold medals.New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metres free style.Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.But late on the second day, the U.S team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised.Penny Heyns of South Africa had broken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.41.It is hard to predict the results of this month’s championships because ________ A.players from different countries have emerged as new champions B.many names of the players haven’t been heard
C.a few countries have won international swimming competitions D.the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta was a success 42.What the U.S had to face at the 1996 Olympics was ______ A.new swimming power B.a big success C.several unpleasant failures D.a great deal of embarrassment 43.The player of Belgium broke a world record in 100-metre breast-stroke which ______ A.it had won before B.it had not gained before C.it had won many times D.the U.S.had never won before 44.How many medals have the other countries won on the opening day? A.Three
B.Four
C.Five
D.Six 45.It can be inferred from the passage that ______ A.the U.S.is still the only powerful country in swimming B.the U.S.has been a great swimming power C.Ireland once controlled international swimming.D.Belgium had won several world swimming championships Passage4
When the steam engine was invented in the eighteenth century, it began one of the greatest revolutions that have ever happened in our world.The invention of the petrol engine at the end of the nineteenth century led to another enormous change in our lives.And the computer is almost certainly going to be an invention no less important than these engines were.Just as there was a Stone Age.An Iron Age and so on, we have been living for centuries in a Paper Age, during which almost all information was kept and sent on paper, and so much of it is wasted after it has been used once that enormous numbers of trees have to be cut down every year to provide us with this paper.But now, with the computer, enormous amounts of information can be stored and sent without any paper at all, using small discs or the Internet.Computers have made it possible to do very difficult calculations very much faster than any earlier machine could.Computers also allow one to send information to others anywhere in the world, via the telephone line, and to receive information from them.One can send a very long message more quickly from England to Australia, for example, than from one’s house to someone in the garden.Computers are not only used for writing;they can produce diagrams and pictures, and they can be used for playing games.One now sees them at airports and railway stations, in hotels and restaurants, in fact, almost everywhere where people gather.46.The author seems to say that the invention of the computer is ___ A.not so important as that of the steam and petrol engines B.at least as important as that of the steam and petrol engines C.less important than that of the steam and petrol engines
D.far more important than that of the steam and petrol engines 47.According to the author the disadvantage of using paper to keep and send information is tha_______ A.it is hard to get enough paper B.it wastes our time C.it damages the environment D.there is too much paper around 48.We may infer that the fastest way for computer to send messages is by using _____ A.paper
B.discs C.the telephone line
D.air mail 49.Which of the following functions of the computer is not mentioned in the passage? A.Handling information B.Doing office and business work C.Offering entertainment D.Making phone calls
50.The title that best express the main idea of the passage is _____ A.Computer Age B.Paper Age and Computer Age C.Computer and Our Past D.Computer and Our Future

PassageTwo
Mr．Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective．In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years．At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent．Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college．
Mr．Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school．Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr．Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior．He‟ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course．
The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy．For Mr．Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll．Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female，”said Mr．Leonard．It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a．m．until 9 p．m．It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr．Leonard，teach not the school‟S academic jewels，but the most struggling students．
And autonomy also means the school‟ S teachers administer almost no homework．Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material．

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guide s．City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have．But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year．People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available．

Passage Four
Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?
Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见)．Dr．Robert Alberti，author of Stand Up, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it‟s because of their lack of confidence．“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves．”says Alberti．“There‟s always a„superior‟around-a parent，a teacher，a boss-who„knows better‟．These„superiors‟often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image．”
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting people．
In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more“important”than you，you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your own good sense．You go by the other person‟ s label．But，why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do，you can learn to speak out．
48．People are reluctant to talk back because____．
A．they have a poor self-image B．they have not received AT courses
C．they have not grasped communication skillsD．they are not generous enough to share things
49．According to Dr．Alberti，our organization is constructed to____．
A．get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB．keep people as knowledgeable as their“superiors”
C．train people‟ s capacity to speak up for their righ
D．make things more favorable for“superiors”
50．One of the objectives of AT courses is to____．
A．train people to trust othersB．encourage people to share their thoughts
C．tell people of their right to be“superiors”D．help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves
51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Protect Yourself
B．Try to Speak Out C．Share Your Opinion
D．Face Your Superior
Passage Five
A wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models．In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section．Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements．Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane．In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing，however，the model may be as small as a pencil．
There are two ways of feeding air to the test section．In the constant flow tunnel，airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section，then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse．The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a
第 ３
页
box，sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box．This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow．
Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown．Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel．For example，if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds，this fact can be discovered in the tunnel，thus saving many lives and millions of dollars．
In a wind tunnel，scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds．They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces，how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop，and howfastit can climb．
52．Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____．
A．they are used for large planes
B．they can produce a stronger wind
C．they are built to conduct a high-speed test
D．the air in them flows at a lower speed
53．The underlined words“this fact”in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____．
A．it costs a lot to test a plane B．the wings are not good enough C．some problems are found with a plane D．the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel
54．As mentioned in the last paragraph，a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A．how fast a plane can rise
B．how smooth a plane‟s surface is
C．how a plane lands in a strong wind
D．how a plane drops at a low height
55．What can we learn from the passage?
A．It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel． B．Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes．
C．Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels． D．There are new ways to feed air to the test section．
