一、阅读理解

1、This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.

Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.

The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don't know what they might do next.

But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.

2、 In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.

The next important date in the history of photography（摄影术）was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his pictures you could see everything very clearly， even the smallest things. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.

Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers（摄影家）could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.

Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike（栩栩如生的）.

Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other kinds of art.

范文：

Everything lives with opposite forces. The same can be said about modern technology, such as Internet.

At first glance Internet offers us excitement and a worl of promise. Frankly speaking, people who have some ideas of it can not deny the merits born with the system. For instance,it can improve proficiency in scientific research, for by means of it scientists and researchers can get a global look at the latest development in the field concerned and accordingly they need spend no time doing what has already been done. In view of personal communication, the most convenient means could be peculiar to Internet, too.

While people speak highly of Internet, its drawbacks shouldn't be neglected. Sometimes, alittle fatal breakdown of the system, or a disastrous error could bring us an enormous amount of damage and loss. Meanwhile, with lnternet's replacement of hooks or the written work as the main source of information, human's writing abilities are weakened and relations between people are desalinated

However,

every

country

this

planet

should

work

hard

to develop the system to serve us more efficiently and comfortably, because in the net all countries are interrelated.

一、阅读理解

1、 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a 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 forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: \"Get up, John! You'll 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 including their kid has.

You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman 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 usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam 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 save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

(1)、If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably . A：he is a lazy person

B：he is not sure when his energy is low C：he refuses to follow his own energy cycle D：he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening 答案： D

(2)、Which of the following may end family quarrels according to the passage? A：Awareness of family member's energy cycle.

B：Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members. C：Attempts to change family member's energy cycle. D：Familiar monologues. 答案： A

(3)、If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should . A：get to bed earlier B：get up earlier than usual C：overcome his laziness D：change his energy cycle 答案： B

(4)、You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______. A：help to keep your energy for the day's work B：keep your energy cycle under control all day C：enable you to concentrate on your routine work D：help you to control your temper early in the day 答案： A

(5)、Which of the following statement is NOT true? A：Children have energy cycles, too.

B：Habit may help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.

C：Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day. D：Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy. 答案： C

2、 It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross's campaign for a total ban on landmines（地雷）. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. \"I knew the statistics,\" she said. \"But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl 9

who had lost her leg, and people like her.\"

The Princess concluded with a simple message: \"We must stop landmines\". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.

But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as \"very ill-informed\" and a \"loose cannon（乱放炮的人） \".

The Princess responded by brushing aside（不予理睬） the criticisms: \"This is a distraction（干扰） we do not need. All I'm trying to do is help.\"

Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.

For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems. (1)、Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ______. A：to clarify the British government's stand on landmines B：to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims C：to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there D：to voice her support for a total ban of landmines 答案： D

(2)、What did Diana mean when she said \"... putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me\" (paragraph1)?

A：Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics. B：She just couldn't bear to meet the landmine victims face to face. C：The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.

D：Seeing the pain of the victims make her realize the seriousness of the situation. 答案： D

(3)、Some members of the British government criticized Diana because ______. A：she had not consulted the government before the visit B：she was ill-informed of the government's policy C：they were actually opposed to banning landmines

D：they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola 答案： C

(4)、How did Diana respond to the criticisms? A：She made more appearances on TV.

B：She paid no attention to them. C：She rose to argue with her opponents. D：She met the 13-year-old girl as planned. 答案： B

(5)、What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola? A：It had caused embarrassment to the British government. B：It had greatly promoted her popularity. C：It had brought her closer to the ordinary people. D：It had affected her relations with the British government. 答案： C 二、词汇与语法

2、 The purpose of this part of the book is to help you become more efficient in reading by speeding up the process generally. Most people can learn to cover material much faster than they do now while maintaining a high level of comprehension.

Improvement in reading efficiency has several major benefits. We need reading skills to benefit from the wealth of information that is now available in printed form. Most people get the rough outlines of their daily news from television and radio. However, the printed word still provides the in-depth coverage of topics that really produces well-informed people. Reading is also a great source of entertainment for many people. For students, it is the primary method of studying.

The time you now spend reading can be made much more productive by increasing your reading rate. For some people this will mean that they can obtain more information in the same length of time. For others it will mean that time now devoted to reading can be used in other more interesting and profitable ways.

To determine how fast you are reading, you first have to get some idea of the number of words in a given passage. Then you simply divide the number of words by the number of minutes it takes to read. That will give your rate in words per minute.

An acquaintance is one 2 name you know, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around. 3 you don't share your life with most of them because you don't know enough about them.

五、写作 Instructions:Your essay should be no less than 150 words. Nowadays water crisis has become a problem worldwide. People cannot have adequate clean drinking water. Write an essay on the topic \"How to Deal with Water Crisis\". You should base your essay on the outline below.

1.水资源危机是一个世界性问题，多年来全世界各部门以及各国政府做出了许多努力，解决水危机问题。

2.同时水源浪费现象很严重。 3.你认为有效的节水措施该有哪些？

范文：

People can’t imagine life without water. Without it, the earth we live on would be a dead one. However, nowadays water crisis has become a problem worldwide. People cannot have adequate clean drinking water.

Although nearly three quarters of the earth’s surface is covered with water, it is sea water and undrinkable. The demand for water is increasing, while water resources are scarce. Agricultural production needs enormous amounts of water, so does industry. Besides, the rapid growth of population makes it more and more difficult for people to survive because of the water shortage. So water shortage has become one of the most serious problems.

Fortunately, people have realized this pressing problem and are trying to find ways to salve it. First, people are urged to economize on water. Second, measures are taken to protect water resources. Third, circulating water is used for industrial purposes over and over in factories and treated sewage water is used for irrigation in farming land.

1、What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.

We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often, and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

Parents should also be careful what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as \"That was a very clever thing you did\" or \"You are such a smart child\".

(1)、The words \"intelligent\" and \"brilliant\" in the first paragraph mean ______ while \"dull\" in the second paragraph means ______.

A：bright and splendid...slow in thinking and understanding B：pretty and handsome...ordinary-looking C：great and important...common D：hopeful and helpful...careless 答案： A

(2)、According to the context we can guess that a genius is ______ while an idiot is ______. A：a normal person...a funny person B：a strong person...a weak person

2、Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.

Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.

\"Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o'clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.\"

When the elderly person makes confused statements，e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: \"You don't work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?\" We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.

(1)、Why can't we always keep calm in front of old people? A：Because old people sometimes annoy us.

B：Because old people sometimes don't understand us.

C：Because we are sometimes in a bad mood. D：Because we are sometimes in a hurry. 答案： A

(2)、What happens to elderly people's memory according to the passage? A：Their memory becomes worse and recalls basic things as granted. B：Their memory becomes worse and can't remember basic things. C：They can't remember their failures. D：They can only remember past failures. 答案： B

(3)、Paragraph 3 gives an example illustrating ______. A：how to provide simple, direct information B：a daughter's care for her mother C：a daughter's duty to her mother D：the right procedure of helping the old 答案： A

(4)、Why are old people encouraged to use diaries? A：Because diaries can replace reminder boarders. B：Because diaries are simple to use.

C：Because diaries help make up for poor memory. D：Because diaries can label the contents of cupboards. 答案： C

(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?

A：What happens to old people with failing memory. B：How to help old people with failing memory. C：Why old people have poor memory. D：How to improve bad memory. 答案： B 二、词汇与语法

3．你的理由

As is the case we can see, the rapid development of computer technology is exerting profound impact on our life, almost in every aspect. In addition to the use in working, computers are finding their way into the home. They are so intelligent that they seem to be able to solve all problems; consequently, some people say that it will sooner or later take the place of human beings.

As for me, I firmly hold the view that there is no such possibility on the grounds that computers are but machines, made by humans. They can only do as humans instruct them and our tasks are far too complicated for any machines to undertake.

For human, there is one thing that computers can never accomplish, that is, the former can make decision by their own while the latter can do nothing unless they are programmed.

In my opinion, computers will remain nothing but an extension of human brains, no matter how clever and sophisticated they will become.

一、阅读理解

1、When it comes to walking off those excesses（过剩）, a lengthy hike once a day will do you far more good than nipping down to（一溜烟跑）

short walks add up to the same amount of time, say exercise researchers in Britain. But walks of any length beat sitting at home with your feet up and watching television. They stress.

Some researchers in Britain reached these conclusions after putting 56 couch potatoes through an 18-week course of daily walks.

They found that longer walks produce the most beneficial changes to the composition of

blood fats, but walks of any length improve the fitness of the heart.

In the study, the normally inactive subjects were divided into three roughly equal groups. The \"long walker\" took a hike of between 20 and 40 minutes every day. \"Intermediate walkers\" had two rounds of jogging of 10 to 15 minutes, and \"short walkers\" did three stints of 90 to 110 minutes. The controls sat at home, as usual.

At the start and end of the 18 weeks, the health and fitness of each group were measured and it was found that the long walkers were healthiest, as measured by altered fat profiles in their blood.

At the end, each liter of blood from the long walkers contained an average 0.05 grains less apolipoprotein （阿朴脂蛋白） II, a \"bad\" fat that is linked with heart disease. This was more than twice the drop seen in the intermediate walkers, and five times that in short walkers. In the controls, the level of this fat stayed the same. The drop in apolipoprotein II in the long walker was matched by a rise in the blood level of apolipoprotein I, a \"good\" fat that is associated with smooth arteries.

(1)、According to the researchers, ______ is least beneficial to your health. A：taking a lengthy hike once a day B：going shopping several times every day C：doing jogging every morning

D：sitting in the sofa watching TV every evening 答案： D

(2)、\"Couch potato\" in paragraph 2 is used to refer to a kind of ______. A：farmers B：vegetables C：movie-goers D：TV viewers 答案： D

(3)、Which of the following statement is FALSE? A：Longer walks benefit our composition of blood fats. B：The subjects in the study all often watch TV. C：Only longer walks benefit our health.

D：The subjects in the study may not like exercises. 答案： C

(4)、The subjects are divided into ______ groups. A：four B：three C：two D：one 答案： A

(5)、Why is long walk beneficial to our heart? A：It leads to the drop in apolipoprotein I. B：It leads to the drop in apolipoprotein II. C：It keeps us from watching TV. D：It helps us lose weight. 答案： B

2、 When you think of the cinema, the phrase \"watching a movie\" probably comes to mind, and, in fact, moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually. But movies also contain stories, dialogues, music and sound effects - things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy.

Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website to help visually impaired people choose movies that they can follow themselves. Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10. A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize. Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place. A large amount of dialogues between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes. Of course, visually impaired people can enjoy many films when a friend explains the parts that can only be seen. But that means that blind people cannot go to the movies independently. To solve these problems, some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements, scenery, and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen. Blind moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie. This allows them to listen to the narration while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater. Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, writes movie reviews that are published on his website. He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings, including, \"So good, blind people will like it\" and \"I'm glad I couldn't see it.\" Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 20 and he decided to go to college. His first articles appeared in the college newspaper, and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio. After \"watching\" The Sixth Sense, Forry commented that he thought the movie was excellent, but that he envied the boy who was the main character: \"He had six senses, and I only have four.\"

(1)、What is the best title for the passage? ______ A：Movies for the Visually Impaired People. B：Filmmakers Who Makes Films Interesting. C：Movies that are Rated from One to Ten. D：The Story of Jay Forry, a Blind Writer. 答案： A

(2)、\"Visually impaired people\" refers to those who _____. A：are completely deaf

B：can't see anything C：cripples when walking D：don't trust in others 答案： B

(3)、According to Marty Klein, a movie ____is most suitable for visually impaired people. A：receiving the lowest rating B：filled with many characters C：without too many dialogues D：being not too complicated 答案： D

(4)、What do theaters do concerning with visually impaired people? ______ A：They assign staff to explain some parts of the movie. B：They arrange movies especially for these people. C：They offer recorded audio description of the movie. D：They persuade these people not to go to the theater. 答案： C

(5)、We can infer from the last paragraph that Jay Forry_____. A：is very upset about his misfortune B：is good at writing reviews of films C：became a writer before he's blind D：doesn't like the film the Sixth Sense 答案： B 二、词汇与语法

1、 In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients' bodies and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used an \"antiseptic\"（消毒剂）during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.

Everything lives with opposite forces. The same can be said about modern technology, such as Internet.

While people speak highly of Internet, its drawbacks shouldn't be neglected. Sometimes, alittle fatal breakdown of the system, or a disastrous error could bring us an enormous amount of

damage and loss. Meanwhile, with lnternet's replacement of hooks or the written work as the main source of information, human's writing abilities are weakened and relations between people are desalinated.

2、Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavorable trade balance with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country's imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit（贸易逆差） is $15 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods.

One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is a reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in U.S. industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries.

(1)、What does the passage mainly discuss? A：Some worldwide economic problems. B：The cause and consequences of trade deficit. C：Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries. D：High labor and material costs in developed countries. 答案： B

(2)、According to the passage, a trade imbalance occurs when ______. A：a country is facing serious financial problems

(3)、Many underdeveloped countries have trade deficits because ______. A：they failed to meet debt payments

B：they export most of their natural resources to other countries C：they borrow too much money from other countries D：they have to import most of their manufactured products 答案： D

B：Low labor and material costs in Asian countries. C：Lack of natural resources.

D：Lack of the industrial capacity to use the resources. 答案： A

(5)、It can be inferred from this passage that American industries ______. A：do not pay their workers sufficiently B：are hurt by a trade imbalance

2、 If you have recently started collecting stamps, or are thinking about starting, you may be wondering if the hobby is expensive. Can you enjoy it with limited money? What if you have no money at all for the hobby? The answer is an absolute positive one. Not all collections consist mainly of unused stamps that you buy in the post office. Used stamps are worth saving, have value, and they may cost you nothing. In fact, many stamp collectors save only used stamps!

The first place to search for stamps, then, is your own mailbox. You can ask people who write to you to use commemorative(纪念性的) stamps on their mail. Also, if you write away for offers that require a self-addressed stamps envelope, you can put commemoratives on your return envelopes, knowing that they will come back to you later. Neighbors, friends, and relatives are another good source of stamps. A majority of people is only too happy to save the stamps on their mail for someone who will appreciate them. You may even know someone who works in an office that gets a lot of mail. Many businesses get a lot of foreign mail and regularly throw away stamps that may have interest or value to a collector. And don't forget to ask your parents if they have any old letters which may still have stamps on the envelopes.

Now that you have stamps on paper, what do you do with them? The most common way to get stamps off paper is to soak them in water, then dry them on paper. To understand more about soaking stamps, it is best to find a handbook on stamp collecting at the library.

Stamp clubs are another place to get stamps. A club may offer stamps as prizes, or have inexpensive stamps you can afford to buy. If you don't have a stamp club around you, try to start one with a few others. All it takes are four or five other stamp collectors who are interested in getting together to learn about and trade stamps and ideas. Obtaining a pen pal(笔友) in another country is a very good way to get stamps from that country. His or her extra stamps may seem really common in that country, but over here they are much scarcer.

(1)、Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word \"positive\" in Paragraph 1 ? A：certain B：interesting C：impossible D：clear 答案： A

(2)、Which of the following is true? A：Collecting stamps is a bad hobby.

B：Collecting stamps is a hobby for rich people. C：Used stamps are all worth collecting. D：Collecting used stamps can save your money. 答案： D

(3)、The writer suggests that you should ______. A：ask your friends to write to you as often as possible B：ask your friends to write to each other as often as possible C：tell your pen pals to write to you as often as possible D：get used stamps from all kinds of people you know 答案： D

(4)、To soak used stamps in water is the best way to ______. A：get rid of the print B：make the stamps clean C：get stamps off paper D：increase the value of the stamps 答案： C

(5)、If you are a member of a stamp club, you can ______. A：become rich by collecting stamps B：have a meeting every day C：get more stamps without anything 答案： D 二、词汇与语法
