第三部分：阅读理解
（A）
In ancient(古代)time the most important examinations were spoken, not written.In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study of the subject.This custom exists today as part of the work of testing candidates（候选人）for a master's or doctor's degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written.Two types of tests are commonly used in modern schools.The first types sometimes called an objective(客观性)test, it is intended to deal with facts., not personal opinions.To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer.Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have mot learned the material properly.The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter or number on his examination paper.For testing a student's memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages.It can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge.For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory.A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.36.The passage is mainly about ________.A.examinations in the ancient times.Ｂ．modern examinations.Ｃ．how to do well in an examination.Ｄ．setting questions for an examination

One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago.A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口)。The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea---bed.Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow.The people would like to live in flats in the fifty----metre high outer wall.The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土)and glass.The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun.The planners called this man---made harbor would be calm.On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church.On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas.There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies.People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.43.What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea?
Ａ．The city was to be designed together with a harbor.Ｂ．The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.Ｃ．The building of the city would rest on a floating island.Ｄ．The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall.44.How would fresh water be supplied to the city?
Ａ．By treating sea water.Ｂ．By getting it from the surrounding islands.Ｃ．By building a small lake of fresh water inside the city.Ｄ．By transporting it from the mainland.45.The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _______.Ａ．there is not enough space for building cites on land
Ｂ．land transportation has became increasingly difficult
Ｃ．there are too many people on land
Ｄ．present cities are heavily polluted by cars
46.the purpose of the writer is-_______.Ａ．to suggest how new type of harbor could be built at sea
Ｂ．to give a description of a new---type city.Ｃ．to draw people's attention to the problem of air pollution.Ｄ．to introduce a mew way of building harbor---cities.(D)
Taxes（税）are a big part in the United States.Most Americans pay city taxes, state taxes, social security（安全）taxes, sales taxes ﹒﹒﹒,and the list seems endless.The biggest tax for most Americans is that on the money they earn---the income tax.The personal income tax is called a “progressive tax” because it takes more from those who earn more.For example, a person who earns about 3,500 dollars a tear will pay a tax of only about 3.5 % of earning, but of the same person earned 85, 000 dollars a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%.Over the years the income tax has become more and mote difficult for people to understand.Almost one half of all Americans now have to pay experts to prepare their tax reports in fact, preparing taxes and giving tax advice have become a big industry in America.47.Most Americans pay ________.Ａ．taxes which are too many to list.Ｂ．taxes either to the cities or the states they live in.Ｃ．so many kinds of taxes that they even don't know the names.Ｄ．several kinds of taxes.48.Social security tax is collected from _______.Ａ．those who have broken the law.Ｂ．those who often make trouble,Ｃ．those whose lives and property are in danger.Ｄ．Every citizen living in the area in question(所在).49.What is a “ progressive tax”? A “progressive tax” is the tax _______.Ａ．collected for social progress.Ｂ．that increases with each passing year.Ｃ．that is collected from those who earn most.Ｄ．that varies（变化）according to how much money a person earns.50.Why do almost one half of all Americans have to pay experts?
Ａ．Because the list of taxes seems endless.Ｂ． Because they would rather spend their time and energy elsewhere.Ｃ． Because they find their knowledge about taxes is so limited that they are unable to write tax
report all by themselves.Ｄ． Because paying experts to prepare their tax report and asking for tax advice have become
very popular.(E)
More than 6000 children were expelled(开除)from US school last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.The department gave a report to the expulsions(开除)as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996---97, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪)or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.“The report is a clear sign that out nation's public schools are cracking down(严惩)on students who bring guns to school,” Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement.“ We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”
In March1997, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas.In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school.Two months later, a 14 years old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high school, which have students from about age 13.34 percent were from junior high schools and 9percent were from elementary schools, the report said.51.From the first paragraph we can infer that in the US schools _______.A.students enjoy shooting B.students are eager to be solider.C.safety is a problem D.students can make guns.52.The report from the US Department of Education of Education shows that ________.Ａ．the number of the expulsions is not large.Ｂ．the number of the expulsion is wrong.Ｃ．there are soldiers hiding among the students.Ｄ．guns are out of control in US schools.53.The main idea of paragraph four shows us ______.Ａ．some examples of shoot in US schools.Ｂ．the American's feeling.Ｃ．some famous schools.Ｄ．that some teachers were killed by students.54.How many students were shot dead in 1997 in US schools?

Copenhagen.His writings were first published in 1829.In 1833，he received grant money for travel，which he used to visit Germany，France，Switzerland，and Italy.These journeys were recorded in his travelogues（旅行见闻）。In 1835，Andersen published “Fairy Tales for Children，” which contained four short stories.He eventually wrote around 168 fairy tales.They achieved success in his life-time and were widely published and translated.Unhappiness also found its way into many of his tales which were not meant merely for children but for adults as well.He used very simple language and style to disguise the moral teachings of his tales.Andersen also wrote novels, plays and poems.He died at his home in Rolighed on August 4, 1875.Andersen died on April 4, 1875

6Oth Anniversary Ceremony in Moscow With thousands of soldiers and war veterans parading across Moscow's Red Square and fighter jets screaming overhead，Russia celebrated the 60th anniversary of defeating Nazi Germany.More than 50 world leaders，including China's President Hu Jintao，attended the ceremony.Speaking at the start of the parade，Russia's President Vladimir Putin praised all those who fought for freedom and independence.“The，war shows that resorting to force to solve problems will result in tragedy for the world，so a peaceful order should be safeguarded（护卫）based on security，justice and cultural exchange，” Putin said.“Faced with the real threat of terrorism today，we must remain faithful to the memory of our fathers.It is our duty to defend a world order based on security and justice and on a new culture of relations among nations that will not allow a repeat of any war，neither 'cold' nor 'hot'，” he continued.The Second World War is perhaps the most catastrophic（灾难性的）event that mankind has ever suffered.The war affected 80 per cent of the world's people at that time，from 61 countries，and claimed 55 million lives.After the celebration，President Hu said that peace，development and cooperation were the future.“China will unswervingly（坚定地），follow the road of peace and development and will make a joint effort with all nations to contribute to safeguarding world peace and promoting development，” he said.German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder asked Russia for forgiveness for the suffering Germany inflicted（造成）during the Second World War in an article in Sunday's Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.“Today we ask forgiveness for the suffering inflicted upon the Russian people and other peoples at the hands of Germans and in the name of Germans，” Schroeder said.President Hu and the other leaders also joined a wreath（花圈）laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers on Monday.Paragraph 2 Paragraph 3 Paragraph 4 Paragraph 5

下面有3篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题定1个最佳选项。
第一篇 Is the Tie a Necessity？
Ties, or neckties, have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries.But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them.Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties.So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties? Maybe.Last week, the UK's Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era.He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.In fact，Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party.Many of them were celebrities（知名人士）without ties，which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.For some more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance.Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie.For people like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect.Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party-almost every social occasion.But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.The origin of the tie is tricky.It started as something called simply a “band”.The term could mean anything around a man's neck.It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s.Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement.Their neckwear（颈饰）impressed Charles II，the king of England who was exiled（流放）to France at that time.When he returned to England in 1660，he brought this new fashion item along with him.It wasn't, however, until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie.Then, clubs military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearer's membership in the late 19th century.After that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties.Anyway, the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood.31 The tie symbolizes all of the following except A respect.B elegance.C democracy.D politeness.32 Why does Blair sometimes show up in a formal event without a tie? A Because he wants to make a show.B Because he wants to attract attention.C Because he wants to live in a casual way.D Because ties are costly.33 Which of the following is NOT a social occasion? A Going to church.B Going to work in the office.C Going to a party.D Staying at home.34 Who brought the Frenchmen's neckwear to Britain? A Charles II.B Tony Blair.C Jim Callaghan.D Andrew Turnbull.35 When did British gentlemen begin to wear ties regularly? A In the 1630s, B After the late 19thcentury.C In 1660.D In the late 18th century.第二篇 Why Not Eat Breakfast？
Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it is also the most neglected or skipped.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting.Breakfast simply means “break the fast.” Your body spends at least six to twelve hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy to rev up（转动起来）into high gear for the day's work ahead.If you skip breakfast，you are likely to concentrate less effectively in the late morning，feel irritable，short-tempered（易怒的），tired，or weak.When you choose not to eat breakfast, your body stays in slow gear.Also, people
who skip breakfast often binge（无节制的大吃）later in the day at other meals or eat a high-calorie（高卡路里）snack in the morning.Breakfast eaters tend to eat less fat during the day，have more strength and endurance and better concentration and problem-solving ability.A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3 of your total calorie needs for the day.On the average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn't appeal to you in the morning, try eating a lighter-dinner, earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning.If you still aren't hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later.To make matters worse, since your body is in a slowed state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently.If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become extremely hungry and stuff yourself as soon as you begin to eat.Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right fuel is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat, and grain products such as breads, rice, noodles, and cereals.36 The word fast“ in the phrase ”break the fast“ in paragraph 2 means
A ”a series of quick actions“.B ”a habit of eating“.C ”a period of not eating“.D ”a strict rule“.37 Which of the following is NOT true of a person who does not have breakfast?
A He will be easily distracted.B He will tend to lose his temper.C He will feel weak.D He will become very talkative.38 You can improve your appetite for breakfast by
A not eating too much for dinner in the evening
B drinking a glass of milk before going to bed.C eating a big dinner in the evening.D having some juice and a toast for dinner.39 Which of the following is a healthy eating habit?
A Eating as little as possible.B Eating no breakfast.C Eating no lunch.D Eating three regular meals a day.40 Which food is NOT fit for breakfast?
A Rice.B Fat meat
C Bread.D Juice.第三篇
Who Came First，the Chicken or the Egg？
I just mailed the chicken and the egg, each in its own separate packaging, and kept careful track of when each shipment was sent from a post office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and when it later arrived at its intended destination in New York City.In mailing the chicken, I was careful to adhere to the restrictions described in the American Postal Service's Domestic Mail Manual 57, as updated on April 3, 2003.This, the most recent, version of the Manual states that: ”Adult chickens must be sent by Express Mail.The containers used must pass the standards in International Safe Transit Association Test Procedure IA;be strong enough to endure normal handling;and ensure enough air for the chickens in transit.The number of birds must not be more than the container's limit.“ I mailed the chicken in a wooden box got from a colleague who does research with birds.Then, I mailed the egg in standard packaging obtained through an industrial supplier.It's quite simple.I posted both the chicken and the egg at 9:40 am, on a Monday morning, from the Harvard Square post office, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.The staff there told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed from there in recent memory, and perhaps ever.They handled both the chicken and the egg skillfully and politely.The intended destination for both packages was the James A.Farley General Post Office, which is located in Manhattan right next to the Penn Station train terminal.I took the subway from the Harvard Square to the Boston train station, and from there boarded a train to New York City, a distance of about 320 kilometers, arriving that afternoon at Penn Station.I immediately went to the post office, to await the arrivals of the chicken and the egg.The James A.Farley General Post Office is open 24 hours a day, so I was able to wait there until both items arrived.I inquired once per hour for both the chicken and the egg.That day, Monday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived.The next day, Tuesday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived.The chicken arrived at 10:31 am, Wednesday.The staff at the post office told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed to the post office in recent memory, and perhaps ever.The egg arrived that same day, at 9:37pm, 11 hours after the chicken.Based on experiment data, it's now quite clear that the chicken came first, the egg second.41 Which of the following is NOT required of a container?
A It should be ventilated.B It should be made of steel.C It should be sufficiently large.D It should be strong.42 Why did the author go to New York City?
A Because he had never been there before.B Because he wanted to show that he could arrive before both the chicken and the egg.C Because he had sent the chicken and the egg to himself.D Because he wanted to check which of the two items would arrive first.43 How did he go to New York City?
A By boat.B By bus.C By tube and rail.D By air.44 When did the chicken arrive?
A On Monday.B At 9：37 pm，Wednesday.C On Tuesday.D Eleven hours before the egg
What did he do all this for?
A To amuse the reader with an unlikely answer to the chicken-or-egg puzzle.B To know if animals like chickens could be posted.D To know if eggs would break on the way to their destination.D To show that he was highly intelligent.第5部分：补全短文（第46～50题，每题2分，共10分）

African-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the world's most powerful celebrity，according to Forbes magazine.（46）
Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers weekly in the United States.Her talk show reaches 112 countries.She earned US$225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches.The annual Forbes list gives most weight to annual earnings.（47）”After 21 years, her exciting chat show still rules the airwaves.It created new celebrities and hundreds of millions of dollars in profits,“ the magazine said.Winfrey is most popular with her popular talk show ”The Oprah Winfrey Show“.She can always attract the superstars and let them open up to her intimate interviewing style.Last month, American actor Tom Cruise, 42, surprised fans when he celebrated his new romance with 26-year-old actress Katie Holmes.He jumped up and down, shouting ”I'm in love.“ Only a few years ago, Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman appeared separately on the same show telling the news of their divorce.(48)
Winfrey's approach appears to be simple.She is in pursuit of self-improvement and self-empowerment（自强）。This has proved to be just what people，especially women，want.Winfrey often talks about her personal secrets on her show.That pulls in viewers.For example, she revealed that she had been sexually abused as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her weight.Winfrey was born to a poor family in Mississippi in 1954
（49）At the age of 19，she became the youngest person and the first African-American woman to anchor（主持）a news programme.Her success has not just been on the screen.Her media group includes a women's TV network and websites for women.Winfrey's work has extended to social change.（50）

第四篇：全国英语等级考试
全国英语等级考试（PETS）介绍
全国英语等级考试（Public English Test System，以下简称PETS）是经中华人民共和国教育部批准，由教育部考试中心主办的全国统一考试。北京市教育考试指导中心是北京地区的考试承办机构，负责考试的组织实施。
全国英语等级考试是面向全社会、以全体公民（除义务教育阶段学生外）为对象的非学历性证书考试，主要测试应试者实际英语交际能力。在参加考试的资格方面，无职业、受教育程度的限制，原则上任何人都可报名参加。考生可以根据自己的英语水平选择参加任何一个级别的考试。
根据教育部考试中心有关规定，自2007年9月起，全国英语等级考试不受理义务教育阶段的学生报考，但在2007年上半年一级B考试中，取得笔试或口试单科合格者，可以报名参加2008年上半年一级B考试，仅限报考2007年3月份考试不合格或者没有报考的笔试或口试单科。
PETS是教育部考试中心设计、开发和主办的全国性英语水平考试体系。共5个级别：
PETS-1是初始级。通过该级考试的考生，其英语基本符合诸如出租车司机、宾馆行李员、门卫、交通民警等工作，以及同层次其他工作在对外交往中的基本需要。（下设一个附属级“1级B”）
PETS-2是中下级。通过该级考试的考生，其英语水平基本满足进入高等院校继续学习的要求，同时也基本符合诸如宾馆前台服务员、一般银行职员、涉外企业一般员工，以及同层次其他工作在对外交往中的基本需要。
PETS-3是中间级。通过该级考试的考生，其英语已达到高等教育自学考试非英语专业本科毕业水平，或符合普通高校非英语专业本科毕业水平的要求，基本符合企事业单位行政秘书、经理助理、初级科技人员、外企职员的工作，以及同层次其他工作在对外交往中的基本需要。
PETS-4是中上级。通过该级考试的考生，其英语水平基本满足攻读高等院校硕士研究生非英语专业的需要，基本符合一般专业技术人员或研究人员、现代企业经理等工作对英语的基本要求。
PETS-5是最高级。通过该级考试的考生，其英语水平基本满足在国外攻读硕士研究生非英语专业或从事学术研究工作的需要。该水平的英语也能满足他们在国内外从事专业和管理工作的基本需要（注：关于该级考试的详细情况，请登陆教育部考试中心网站查询）。
这5个级别的考试标准建立在同一能力量表上，相互之间既有明显的区别又有内在的联系。
PETS各级考试成绩仅供考生个人和考生成绩使用者参考，教育部考试中心负责解释PETS各级考试的水平；考生成绩的使用权在录取部门或用人单位。
PETS考查的能力是建立在“交际语言行为模式”上。这种模式以语言交际需要为掌握外语的目的，将语言能力分为“接受”、“产出”、“互动”等，根据各种情景和任务，在特定主题和话语下，结合相关的语言行为进行教学或考查。这些能力与通常所说的“听”、“说”、“读”、“写”等能力的关系是：
接受能力—读和听；
产出能力—写和说；
互动能力—书面和口语的直接交流。
PETS重点考查交际能力，但并不完全排斥对语言知识（语法、词汇等）的考查。所以，PETS考查的内容包括：听力、语言知识、阅读、写作、口语。
1999年9月首次开考PETS-1至PETS-4以来，考生人数逐年增长。截至2005年11月，全国已有31个省级考试承办机构（含中国人民解放军总参系统）承办PETS考试，累计考生人数已超过275万(含1997、1998两年的PETS-1B和1999年开始的PETS-5的考生人数)；累计获证人数近100万。
随着PETS考试在全国的推开，一些全国性的机构开始对该考试产生了浓厚的兴趣，准备在其系统内使用该项考试的成绩。PETS考试一般安排在每年3月和9月的一个周末。笔试（含听力）在周六上午进行，口试在周六下午、周日全天进行。具体考试时间，以教育部考试中心的文件为准。
PETS考试将笔试和口试分成两个相对独立的测试部分。笔试成绩是听力、英语知识运用、阅读理解和写作部分成绩的总和，满分100分，60分以上（含60分）为合格。口试满分5分，3分以上（含3分）为合格。
每个级别的考试都包括笔试和口试两种形式，先笔试后口试。笔试中包含读写、听力测试内容；笔试题型分为客观性试题和主观性试题，考生解答客观性试题时，需要在答题卡上进行填涂。口试采用面对面交谈的方式，由两名口试考官对两名考生（一级B是一名考生）进行测试，其中一名口试考官不参与交谈，专事评分，另一名考官主持口试，适时与考生交谈、引导考生之间交谈并评分。
各级别的考试时长不同：
一级B：笔试 90分钟，口试时间上限为 3分钟；
一 级：笔试 90分钟，口试时间上限为8分钟；
二 级：笔试120分钟，口试时间上限为10分钟；
三 级：笔试120分钟，口试时间上限为10分钟；
四 级：笔试140分钟，口试时间上限为12分钟。
各级别均可报考全项也可单独报考笔试或口试，不允许同时报考不同级别（包括报名参加单项考试），同一级别不允许多次报名。单项合格成绩可保留到同一级别相邻的下一次考试。
PETS考试报名时间：
上半年报名时间大致安排在每年1月，开考级别为：一级B、一级、二级、三级；
下半年报名时间大致安排在每年7月，开考级别为：一级、二级、三级、四级。
具体报名时间可留意报刊刊登的《北京地区“全国英语等级考试”报考简章》，或登陆北京教育考试服务在线：,进入“北京地区全国英语等级考试报名系统”查询。
考试结束两个半月后，考生可在网上登陆北京教育考试服务在线：，进入“北京地区全国英语等级考试报名系统”查询成绩，也可通过声讯电话有偿查询成绩，声讯服务号码为：96000960。
口试及笔试均合格者，可获得由教育部考试中心统一颁发的《全国英语等级考试合格证书》。该证书用中、英两种文字书写，证书上印有持证人身份证号码。
口试或笔试只有一项合格的，可获得由教育部考试中心统一颁发的《全国英语等级考试笔试成绩合格证》或《全国英语等级考试口试成绩合格证》。
凡参加考试的考生都有“成绩通知单”。
发放证书和“成绩通知单”的时间大约在考试结束两个半月左右，具体时间考生可通过网上报名系统查询或与各考点联系查询。
考生的单项（笔试或口试）合格成绩允许保留到相邻的下一考次。一次考试或相邻两次考试中，笔试、口试都合格者，教育部考试中心将核发相应级别的《全国英语等级考试合格证书》。跨考次的成绩将不予保留。
教育部考试中心制订了PETS各级《考试大纲》，详细介绍了PETS的设计背景、各级的级别标准、考试形式、结构和内容以及考试样卷等，并附有听力和口试录音样带，是规范专家命题、考生应考和教师辅导的依据。同时为帮助考生学习和准备考试，教育部考试中心还组织编写了《考试教程》等配套用书，由高等教育出版社出版。
