三、Reading Comprehension（30 points，2 points for each item）

从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应 的字母涂黑。

1.Many people think New York is a noisy city.In fact,scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72.5 decibels.This is a little louder than normal conversation,which is 65 decibels.The noise level is the result of so many people and cars in the same area.Now even the insides of taxis are noisy.When you get into a taxi,you hear the voice of a wellknown singer,sports reporter,or Broadway actress giving instructions.That’t right.The voice of a famous person tells you what to do.One popular singer gives this message:“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one,so fasten your seat belt!”Other voices say things such as“Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.”（People often leave hats,umbrellas,and bags in taxis.）

There is a good reason for the messages.There are more than 12,000 cabs in New York,and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents.In an accident,people who don’t wear seat belts hit the partition,the glass wall separating the driver and passengers in the taxi.They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or chins.Every year,about 11,000 people are injured in this way.Many people are annoyed by the voices.Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages.“I play the messages 12 hours a day.I hear the same voices 60 times a day.It makes me crazy,”says Amir,a 45yearold cabdriver.“But if I don’t play the messages,I get fined ＄100.”A lot of passengers complain,too.“It’s too much noise,”says a passenger.“I asked the driver to turn off the message,but he said he can’t.”

Other people think the voices are a great idea.One taxi driver says,“People like to hear the famous voices,and they put on their seat belts more often.”And passengers from out of town really like the idea.“Most of the time,taxi drivers are in a bad mood,”says Melanie Benton,who visits New York often on business,“It’s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”

(1).The sentence“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one”implies

that______.(A).(B).(C).(D).答案：D human beings have only one life cats live longer than human beings cats will have new lives after they die human beings should value their lives(2).People who are most likely to be injured in a taxi accident are______.(A).those who wear seat belts

第 5 页(B).(C).(D).答案：C those who like messages those who do not wear seat belts those who dislike messages

(3).It can be inferred from the passage that a taxi driver hears the same voices______every day.(A).(B).(C).(D).答案：A about 5 times an hour about 6 times an hour about 50 times an hour about 60 times an hour(4).The cabdrivers play the messages again and again because______.(A).they are willing to do so(B).they do not want to pay a fine(C).the passengers ask them to do so(D).the voice of the messages is cheerful 答案：B(5).The author of this passage seems to believe that______.(A).New York is the noisiest city in the U.S.(B).messages played by taxi drivers are useless(C).messages in taxis should be voiced by famous people(D).voices from taxis partly caused the high noise level of New York 答案：D

2.Some people might think that Father’s Day was established as a holiday to help

greeting card companies sell more cards.However,when Father’s Day was first suggested in the early 1900s,Father’s Day cards hadn’t been invented yet.The idea of celebrating Father’s Day was actually inspired by Mother’s Day.In 1909,Mother’s Day was just becoming very popular in the United States.One

day,Sonora Dodd,of Spokane,Washington,was listening to a church talk about setting aside a day to honor one’s mother.It gave her the idea to propose a day to honor fathers,and in particular,her own father—William Jackson Smart.Mr.Smart had raised Sonora and her five brothers and sisters all by himself after Sonora’s mother died in childbirth.As an adult,Sonora realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.Her father made all the parental sacrifices.In the daughter’s eyes,her father was a courageous,selfless,and loving man.Mrs.Dodd went to her minister and others about having a church service devoted to fathers on June 5,her father’s birthday.That date was too soon for her minister to

prepare a service,so he spoke two weeks later on June 19.It took about a year of

第 6 页

working with politicians,religious leaders,businessmen and the local Young Men’s Christian Association to bring life to her idea of an annual Father’s Day.Eventually all her hard work paid off.On June 19,1910,the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane,Washington.In 1972 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national celebration of Father’s Day to be held on the third Sunday in June.Since then,fathers have been honored and recognized by their families throughout the U.S.on that date.Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your father,but all men who act as a father figure.Stepfathers,uncles,grandfathers,and adult male friends are all honored on Father’s Day.It’s also another day for greeting card companies and shop owners to celebrate because sales of the most popular gifts for Dad（shirts,ties,and electric shavers）increase considerably.(1).The passage mainly tells about______.(A).Mrs.Dodd’s love for her father

(B).the origin and establishment of Father’s Day(C).the importance of honoring fathers in the U.S.(D).Mrs.Dodd’s contribution to the government decision 答案：B(2).Mrs.Dodd loved her father because he______.(A).had a large family(B).was a single parent(C).was a respected minister(D).was courageous,selfless and loving 答案：D(3).In the United States,the first Father’s Day was celebrated nationwide

in______.(A).(B).(C).(D).答案：A 1972 1910 1909 1900(4).The author of the passage seems to believe that______.(A).stepfathers should not be honored on Father’s Day(B).Father’s Day has nothing to do with Mother’s Day

(C).Father’s Day started with Mrs.Dodd’s love for her father

(D).card companies should not make money on Father’s Day cards

答案：C

第 7 页(5).Greeting card companies welcome Father’s Day because______.(A).their sale increases(B).it is a national holiday(C).adult male friends are also honored(D).they can sell ties,shirts and electric shavers 答案：A

3.This green and blue planet spinning in space is under severe stress.If we continue to exploit the planet at the present rate,human and animal life will be threatened.Human pride will be followed by nature’s punishment.To save our earth and ourselves,we need first develop an unbiased understanding of ourselves,nature and life.Everyone understands the meaning of the sentence“Man should respect animal life and nature”.But the exact meaning of man,nature and animal life is not always clear.Many refer to man and animals as if they were essentially different.I consider man to be an animal and only differing in degree and not in kind from other animals.Although I discuss in conventional terms human rights and animal rights as if they were separate,strictly speaking,human rights should be considered a branch of animal rights.The word“nature”is one of the most complex words in the language,but it has developed three main areas of meaning.These are,first,the essential quality and character of something（as in human nature,or the nature of wood）;second,the inherent force which influences the world（as in Mother Nature）;third,the entire world itself.The last can be taken to include or to exclude human beings,as the phrase man and the natural world implies.I consider humans to be an integral part of nature, although they are also the beings most capable of interfering with its processes.Unfortunately a central drive of Western“man”has been to conquer“nature”, as if it were an object

separate from him.Hence it has become common to distinguish between what is natural（existing without man’s interference）and artificial（manmade）.In this way, natural growth is opposed to education, civilization to the natural state.For many urban people living permanently among concrete and glass, nature itself has come to mean little more than the countryside.And this notion of opposition is where the seed of potential destruction lies.(1).The word“unbiased”in Line 4 of Para.1 means ______.(A).unbalanced(B).fair(C).partial(D).unreasonable 答案：B

第 8 页(2).______.As for the relationship between man and animals, the author holds that man is a kind of animals man is superior to animals man is the same as animals man and animals are essentially different from each other(A).(B).(C).(D).答案：A

(3).The word“they”in Line 6 of Para.2 refers to ______.(A).human rights(B).animal rights(C).human beings and animals(D).human rights and animal rights 答案：D

(4).In the author’s opinion, the word“nature”indicates ______.(A).a particular kind of thing(B).the inherent force which influences the world(C).the entire world itself including human beings(D).the essential quality and character of something 答案：D

(5).The very last sentence of the passage implies that ______.(A).urbanization violates the peace of the countryside(B).the people in the cities cannot enjoy the nature’s beauty

(C).man cannot destroy nature, as they are different from each other(D).if man goes against nature, the world will probably be destroyed 答案：D

三、从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案。(每选项2分，共30分)

Passage One

Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In reading the world's great literature on human excellence and personal success, I've found that to launch ourselves into a life of true success we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our vision with stubborn(顽强的)consistency.The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don't is not usually talent but persistence.On my way to work one morning, I met Rudy Ruettiger, who is now a motivational speaker.He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing football there.Friends told him he wasn't a good enough student to be admitted.So he gave up his dream and went to work in a power plant.Then a friend was killed in an accident at work.Shocked, Rudy suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your dreams.In 1972, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind.He got good enough grades to transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a member of the “scout team”, the players who help the team prepare for games.Rudy was living his dream, almost.But he wasn't allowed to suit up for the games themselves.The next year, after Rudy requested it, the coach told Rudy he could put on his uniform for the season's final game.And there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game.A student started shouting, “We want Rudy!” Soon others joined in.Finally, at the age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Rudy Ruettiger was sent onto the field-and made the final tackle(阻截).So his team won the game.When I met Rudy 17 year later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre Dame stadium(体育场), where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life.His story illustrates that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you.21.The writer believes that the key to achieving success is__________.A.developing one's talent B.seizing opportunities C.having wide vision D.sticking to one's goal

22.According to the passage, Rudy once gave up his dream of playing football for Notre Dame because ________.A.his friend was killed there

B.his foot was injured in an accident C.he lacked confidence in himself

D.he failed in the entrance examination

23.Rudy quit his job in the power plant because _________.A.his friend encouraged him to

第 2 页 B.his outlook on life changed

C.he was disappointed in his future D.he was shocked by his friend's death

24.Rudy was transferred to Notre Dame ______.A.as a good student B.as a good player

C.with the help of a coach D.with the help of a friend

25.A camera crew was making a movie about Rudy's life because _________.A.Rudy was the oldest player at Notre Dame B.Rudy succeeded in realizing his dream C.Rudy was the best speaker at Notre Dame D.Rudy succeeded in developing his ability

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.NASA, the U.S.space agency, believes there's a good chance that we're not alone in the universe.Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey(HRMS).Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe.The search for intelligent life on other planets isn't new.It began almost 100 years ago.That's when scientists built a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space.Scientists thought smart beings on other planets might pick up the signals.Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation(星座).But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldn't reach Earth for 50,000 years!So don't wait up for an answer.So far, no extraterrestrial(地球外的)beings that we know of have returned our “calls.” But according to Dr.Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven't exactly had our ears wide open.“Now, however,” says Dr.Tarter, “we've built the tools we need to listen well.”

Last October, Dr.Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world.It's an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico.Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California's Mojave Desert.NASA hopes these big dishes-and others around the world-will pick up radio signals from new world.Dr.Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years.He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear: Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “listening” to 14 million channels every second.That's what NASA's radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing.But that's not all.Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully.The computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as human-made signals.If they can't, Drake and Tarter check on them.“It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr.Tarter.“And that would mean we're not alone.”

26.NASA scientists started a new project in order to _______.A.discover life in other galaxies B.send human beings into space C.find evidence of a new galaxy D.confirm the number of galaxies

27.According to Dr.Jill Tarter, the reason why we haven't received any return messages from outer space is that_______.第 3 页 A.our ears are not sharp enough to hear them B.our equipment hasn't been good enough

C.it takes millions of years for them to reach us D.it takes quite a long time to send them

28.Dr.Jill Tarter compares the large receiver to _______.A.the human ear B.the universe C.a metal bowl D.a huge dish

29.According to Dr.Frank Drake, NASA's radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are _______.A.trying to check on every channel carefully B.moving the tuner on the dial for clear channels C.scanning the universe for possible signals D.picking up radio signals from new world

30.The best title of this passage is ________.A.Signals from the Space

B.The Invention of New Radio Receivers C.The Intelligent Life in Outer Space D.NASA Listens for Space Neighbors

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Even a careful motorist(开汽车的人)may commit a motoring offence(违法).In this case, he will appear in a police court.This is a court ruled by a judge without a jury(陪审团).A judge has powers to pass sentence for relatively minor offences only;serious charges are dealt with by a judge and a jury.In certain cases, a motoring offender may choose to go before a judge and a jury, instead of appearing before just a judge.A court is also used for the conduct of preliminary investigations to determine whether or not a motoring offender shall appear for trial in a higher court.When his case comes up in court, the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify himself.The judge then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence.He is expected to give an account of what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special circumstances.For example the offence may have been partly due to the foolishness of another motorist.It would be unwise for the motoring offender to exaggerate this.It will not help his case to try to blame someone else for his own mistake.If you are guilty, it is of course wise to admit it and say you're sorry for committing the offence and taking up the court's time.Judges are not heartless and a motorist may be lucky enough to hear one say: “You've got good reasons ,but you have broken the law and I'll have to impose a fine.Pay five pounds.Next case.”

Some short-tempered people forget that both policemen and judges have a public duty to perform, and are rude to them.This does not pay!A judge will not let off an offender merely because he is respectful, but a polite law-breaker may certainly hope that the judge will extend him what tolerance the law permits.31.Even a careful motorist may be asked to go to a police court for______.A.an injury B.a motoring offence C.refusing to pay a fine D.being rude to the policeman

32.The underlined word “one”(paragraph 5)refers to _____.A.a jury member

第 4 页 B.a police officer C.a motorist D.a judge

33.A motoring offender is usually charged by ______.A.a judge B.a jury

C.a policeman D.another motorist

34.It is foolish for a motoring offender to _______.A.overstate another motorist's mistake B.mention someone else's foolishness C.argue that he is not guilty D.choose to go before a jury

35.If a man knows that he is guilty, he should ______.A.be polite to the policeman and the judge B.try his best to appear before just a judge C.save the court's time and pay the fine

D.admit the wrong and say sorry to the court

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger.But forgiveness is possible---and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health.Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself.Take a couple of deep breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology(道歉).Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you.Try to see thing from the other person’s perspective.You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.第 7 页

In recent years many companies of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more

第 3 页 productive.Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied.But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned, variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true.The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machines which must be used in a fixed way.Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making.In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product.Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line.It would seem that not only is the degree of workers’ contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important.But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring.Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more.A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours.Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter wirking hours be so important to them.21.The passage is mainly about how to ____.A.promote workers’ competition B.meet worker’s need for variety C.ensure workers’ right of choice D.improve workers’ performance 22.According to the writer, variety enables a worker to _____.A.derive more enjoyment from life B.work in his own way more freely C.fulfill his job requirements better D.undertake greater responsibilities 23.We learn from the passage that freedom of choice _____.A.can hardly function in a flexible manner

第 4 页 B.can hardly lead to increased productivity C.is hardly seen as effective by companies D.is hardly available in the modern factory 24.It can be inferred from the passage that, compared with large production lines, smaller ones give workers ____.A.a greater variety of interesting tasks B.a stronger sense of accomplishment C.a better idea of the modern industry D.a clearer picture of essential factors 25.According to the writer, higher pay can _____.A.make tiring work more interesting B.make up for longer working hours C.help workers to live more happily D.help to create greater procuctivity

Passage Two

We live in a technological society.Almost every aspect of life in the modern world is influenced(for better or worse)by technology.Communications, transportation, manufacturing, mining and exploration, the service industries, medicine, agriculture all are dominated by methods and apparatus which are the results of technological advances.The basis of technology is science.without the fundamental discoveries and understanding provided by science, technology would be hit-or-miss(随意的)affair, lacking direction and making little progress.One can argue that our society is beginning to suffer from too much technology, but we will never return to the primitive life of our ancestors – technology is with us and it will remain with us.Just as it is important to study history so that we can appreciate how the world came to its present state, it is important to learn some of the basic concepts of science so that we can appreciate the role that technology plays in modern society.For without some knowledge of the scientific principles by which technology operates, one can neighter cope with technology nor assist in directing it into the proper channels.In recent times, we have had the general attitude that whatever is technologically possible should be done.It is now becoming increasingly apparent that our scientific and technological progress has outstripped(超越)our capacity to

第 5 页 perform or absorb everything that is possible.More and more, we weill have decisions to make: in what directions should the thrust of our new discoveries be made? The situation requires that we make intelligent decisions – decisions based in a knowledge and an understanding of what can be done, what will be the benefits, and what weill be the comsequences.Scientists do not make these decisions;people make them.It is therefore incumbent(义不容辞的)on every individual to acquire the basic knowledge that weill permit him to participate intelligently in directing the course of our technological advancement.26.According to the passage, technology can ____.A.produce bad effects on society B.suffer from hit-or-miss affairs C.influence the course of science D.restore life of the primitive age 27.According to the passage, one must learn basic concepts of science in order to ____.A.assist in directing science in a proper way B.contribute to the orientation of technology C.discover the progress of science in history D.find out about the existence of technology 28.Because the human capaity to perform or absorb everything that is possible has been outstripped, it is time for people to ____.A.slow down the development of technology B.reduce the role of science in modern times C.take a new point of view about technology D.reevaluate the lifestyle of human ancestors 29.According to the write, it is everyone’s responsibility to participate in deciding on ____.A.how fast scientific advancement should be B.how fast technological progress should be C.what to acquire and what to skip in science D.what to do and what to avoid in technology 30.The passage is mainly about _____.A.the influence of technology on modern society

第 6 页 B.the importance of learning scientific principles C.the imp;act of scientific progress on civilization D.the difference between science and technology

Passage Three

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on out interpesonal relationships.One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances.Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily problems.People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fight off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us.Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulites.Second, other people often provide us with informational support.They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third, we typically find social companionship supportive.Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles.Finally, other people may give us instrumental support – financial aid, material resources, and needed services – that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.31.We learn from the passage that interpersonal relationships are important because _____.A.they are essential to people’s social well-being.B.they arouse people's desire for communication C.they deal with problems in the informatoin era D.they are effective in curing a range of diseases 32.Research shows that people's physical and mental health _____.A.is related to stressful conditions B.is related to support from others C.relies on soical welfare systems

第 7 页 D.relies on the severity of diseases 33.The underlined word “cushions”(paragraph 2)most probably means ____.A.adds up to B.does away with C.lessens the effect of D.lays the foundation for 34.Social companionship is beneficial in that_____.A.it enables people to eliminate their mistakes B.it helps people to understand their problems C.it adds a new meaning to people's social life d.it creates a new focus of attention for people 35.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of ____.A.instrumental support B.informational support C.social companionship D.increasing self-respect

三、从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案。(每选项2分，共30分)

Passage One

Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history.An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe.It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(特性)of time and space and so on — but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame.He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin.He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence.The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little.He lost interest in his research.Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following the First World War, honors were increasingly heaped on him.He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics.In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics, and he was highly honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(纳粹主义)when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.21.The first paragraph is mainly about _____.A.a new outlook of the universe

B.the feelings of an American college president

C.the change in human thought caused by Einstein

D.the difficulty in teaching Einstein's theory

22.From the second paragraph, we know Albert Einstein ____.A.enjoyed world popularity

B.was the head of an academy

C.was a famous teacher

D.enjoyed studying wars

23.Which of the following statements about Einstein is true?

A.He achieved more than any other scientists in history.B.Our ideas about the universe differ from one another because of him.C.He kept working until peace came in 1918.第 2 页

D.His research practically stopped during the First World War.24.In the years following the First World War, _____.A.Einstein began to be accepted even by ordinary men

B.more and more honors were granted to Einstein

C.Einstein became the head of the Prussian Academy of Science

D.Einstein was not honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism

25.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _____.A.Albert Einstein was interested in nothing but science

B.Einstein was forced to serve in the German army

C.Einstein made a lot more breakthroughs in his research after the First World War

D.his reputation was ruined because of Nazism

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Could you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa.Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own.We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways — and with different motives.In many countries, marriage is a practical matter.A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife.It also joins two families, which benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy.Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age.Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry.Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals.Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple.In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Something old represents the past.Something new represents success in the future.Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family.And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical.The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing.The money is meant to bring kick and to help the young couple build their new life.In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home.Once they move in, they take good care of the tree and make it grow.The planting of the tree is a good metaphor(比喻)for marriage.A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.26.Which of the following statements DOES NOT support the idea that marriage is a practical matter? A.The couple may have a safe and stable home through their marriage.B.The parents had better help their children choose whom to marry.C.A marriage benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy.D.A marriage brings children who will take care of the couple when they are old.27.The word “rituals”(para.3, line 2)means _____.A.forms B.customs C.traditions D.ceremonies

第 3 页 28.In a typical Western wedding, the bride wears something blue to ________.A.seek good luck B.represent the past

C.represent success in the future D.remind her to be true to her husband

29.Although cultures differ in different countries, one thing in common when a young couple gets married is that _____.A.people wish them to take care of each other

B.people wish them to get practical benefits from the marriage C.people wish them to have good luck in their new life

D.people wish them to make money at the wedding ceremony

30.Which of the following statements best summarizes the subject of this passage? A.People across the world get married in different ways and for different reasons.B.Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the young couple.C.A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.D.In many countries, marriage is a practical matter.Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While popular in the U.S., the April Fool's Day tradition is even more prevalent in European countries, such as France and Great Britain.Although the roots of the traditional tricking are unclear, the French and the British both have claims on the origin of the celebration.One theory holds that the first April Fool's Day was on April 1 of the year when King of France instituted(设立)the new calendar.This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April 1.Many people were reluctant to adjust to the new calendar and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on what had become the first day of April.Thus, they became the first April fools.An English story about the day, however, holds that it began sometime during the 1200s.At the time, King John of England was in the habit of making a road out of nearly every path he walked regularly.The citizens of one particular farm village were aware of this.To avoid having their green pastures(牧场)disturbed with one of king's roads, they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside.The king sent a group of messengers(信使)to inform the villagers that they must remove the barrier.Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own.When the messengers arrived, they found what appeared to be a community of mad people, with people behaving in a strange manner, throwing things and running around wildly.The messengers, alarmed at what they found, reported to King John that these people were so mad as to be beyond punishment.So, the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the King.In Great Britain, tradition only allows April Fool's tricks from midnight to noon on April 1.Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves.31.Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph? A.April Fool's Day is more popular in the U.S.B.April Fool's Day is more popular in France and Great Britain.C.No one is sure where the tradition of celebrating April Fool's Day originated.D.The celebration of April Fool's Day originated from both France and Great Britain.32.According to the second paragraph, many people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1, because _____.A.they knew nothing about the new calendar B.they didn't want to accept the new calendar

第 4 页 C.they wanted to receive gifts from their friends D.they wanted to become the first April fools

33.The word “holds”(para.3, line 1)means “_____”, A.supports B.conducts C.contains D.believes

34.The third paragraph tells how the citizens of one particular farm village in England saved their farmland by ______.A.building a fence

B.throwing things to the messengers C.tricking the king

D.lighting with the messengers

35.What is the main idea of paragraph three?

A.How the tradition of celebrating April Fool's Day originated in Great Britain.B.How the citizens of one particular farm village saved their land from the king.C.King John of England wanted to make a road through one particular farm village.D.In Great Britain, tradition allows April Fool's tricks from midnight to noon.四、将下列汉语单词译成英语。作为提示，每个词的词类和 第一个字母以及用短线表示的其余字母数，已给出。(共20分)36.分析v.a_ _ _ _ _ _

七、将下列短文翻译成汉语。(共15分)

Some animals that cannot see can still tell the difference between light and darkness, while others can react to chemicals, which is something like smelling and tasting.However, there may be a sense that we know nothing about, for otherwise it is very hard to explain how birds, animals and even insects and fish manage to travel long distances without losing their way.Only man can tell his companions exactly what he wants, for he has the wonderful gift of speech;but many of the larger animals can show that they are hungry or frightened or pleased by making sounds that we have learned to recognize, such as a roar.Even man still uses animal-like sounds when he laughs or sighs.Some animals can get further than these simple noises.For instance, a bird song is much more elaborate, for it tells other males to keep away, while at the same time inviting a female to come closer.Birds have other calls which warn of danger or help to keep the flock(鸟群)together.Of course, a parrot does not understand what it is saying when it imitates the human voice.第 7 页

《感恩》观后感

当“感恩”这个字眼出现在我眼前时，我有点措手不及，看它是那么的熟悉又是那么的陌生，熟悉是因为我们经常在生活中听见，陌生是因为我们根本不懂得感恩。

当看完《感恩》这个片子时，我泪流满面，因为那时我才真正体会到了父母是那么的不容易、那么的辛苦，为了自己的儿女不惜一切代价，甚至是生命。父母也许只是我们衣衫上一行疏落的针线；只是我们不屑一顾的一碗生日面；甚至是我们耳畔喋喋不休的可笑而又可恼的唠叨。然而，在我们无论遭受肉体或者灵魂的灭顶之灾时，她又可以义无反顾地献出自己的生命。他们是多么的伟大！当我们快乐的和朋友一起过生日时，你可知道你的生日也就是母亲的苦难日。

母爱如一股涓涓细流，虽无声却能滋润干枯的心灵，它平凡却在平凡中孕育着一份惊人的伟大！有时，母爱是一剂特效药，可以挣就那膏肓病人，行将树木的灵魂；有时母爱又是人生海洋上的一盏指路灯，引导我们走出迷途，追随光明。“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”。这份沉甸甸的爱，有谁能够掂出它的份量，有谁能够真正偿还呢？

父母是我们从之索取最多的，可父母却又是最容易满足的，只需儿女对他发自内心得一个微笑、一句话语，可是我们呢？常常不满足

父母给与我们的一切，还时常抱怨，可我们知道吗？父母给与我们的东西都是那么得不容易，我们不但不感谢还嫌这嫌那，现在想一想，我们真的太不了解父母了。人世间做难割舍得就是母子情，但我们却一次又一次的去伤害父母，我们真的太对不起我们的父母了。

所以从现在起，我们要学会感恩，学会报答，回报父母给予我们的一切，没有父母默默的支持就没有我们的今。什么都可以等，但是报答父母不能等，因为错过了，就再也没有机会了，那会让我们后悔一生。父母我爱你们，我一定会孝敬你们的!
