We don’t have beds in the spacecraft, but we do have sleeping bags. During the day, when we are working, we leave the bags toed to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we have chosen to sleep.

On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft’s computers call us on the radio.

On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit() the sun ―rises‖ and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes, then it ―sets‖ as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.

It’s surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut sleeps differently: some sleep upside down, some sideways, and some right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight deck. Then I get into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to a music and watching the earth go by under me.

36. When the astronauts are working, sleeping bags are fastened _______. A. on the wall B. to their seats

C. onto the flight deck D. anywhere they like 37. Why can all the astronauts sleep at the same time? A. They have to follow the same timetable

B. The radio will take care of the aircraft for them C. There are enough sleeping bags in the spacecraft

D. There is no need for them to watch over the spacecraft

When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope. Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzo’s parents set out to

prove the doctors wrong.

The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But the doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies weren’t interested in supporting research into such a rare disease.

However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error (反复试验), they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named ―Lorenzo’s Oil‖, saved the boy’s life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained

unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory. As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.

Finally, the boy’s father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy.

36. Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because _______. A. they had never treated the disease before B. Lorenzo was too young to be cured C. no cure had been found for ALD D. ALD was a rare disease

37. The families of other ALD patients thought that _______. A. the research for the new cure would cost too much money B. the efforts of Lorenzo’s parents were a waste of time C. Lorenzo’s parents would succeed in finding a cure D. Lorenzo’s oil was a real cure for ALD

38. Scientists and doctors believed that Lorenzo’s Oil _______. A. was really effective B. was a success story

C. only worked in theory D. would save the boy’s life 39. Lorenzo’s father organized an international study to _______. A. test Lorenzo’s Oil B. get financial support

C. find a cure for the disease D. introduce the cure worldwide 40. From the passage we can conclude that ______.

A. doctors remain doubtful of the effectiveness of the cure B. many ALD patients still refuse to use the oil C. various cures have been found for ALD D. the oil really works as a cure for ALD

Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.

Do you know how to use a mobile phone(手机) without being rude to the people around you?

Talking during a performance irritates(激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate(振动). When you mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the other enjoy the performance.

Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially

enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by masking sure your mobile phone is switched off.

When eating at a restaurant with friends, don’t place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.

Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won’t hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.

Many people believe that they can’t live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home.

41. What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance? A. Call back after the performance. B. Answer it near the exit door. C. Talk outside the exit door. D. Speak in a low voice.

42. Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think _______. A. you prefer to talk to your friends at the table B. you value your calls more than your friends C. you are enjoying the company of your friends D. you are polite and considerate of your friends

43. When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to _______. A. use a more sensitive microphone B. shout loudly into your microphone

C. go away quietly to continue the phone call D. use your hand to help speak into the phone

44. The author implies that the use of mobile phones in such places as museums should be ____. A. limited B. expected C. discouraged D. recommended 45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. You should limit your mobile phone calls to personal affairs. B. You should speak quietly into your phone while in a church. C. You are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral. D. You are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)

each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

The holiday shopping season got off to a flying start over the Thanksgiving(感恩节) weekend in the U.S. Retailers (零售商) attracted discount-hungry consumers with specials(特价商品) of televisions, DVD players and other gifts. Discounters like

Wal-Mart and Target had the greatest success, offering customers early bird specials, while major department stores and clothing chains only met modest sales goals. Online sales were also strong.

―It was as expected. It wasn’t source of great prosperity, but it was a good start,‖ said Nevill, a man in a US retail consulting firm. He said, ―One thing we often heard was that only things marked down(降价) were selling. Consumers want a bargain, especially around the holiday.‖ Shoppers did seem to like the many markdowns. A lady in the State of Connecticut said, ―I’ve never seen so many sales. I feel like a kid in a candy store.‖

Nevill estimated that discounters had a 4% gain over last year’s Thanksgiving figure, while sales at department stores and mall-based clothing chains were up 2% for the weekend. However, the Thanksgiving weekend is not necessarily a good way to judge how retailers will be successful for the season. Over the past few years, the weekend accounted for less than 10% of sales. Online merchants also had a good weekend. Sales were up 61% last Friday, compared to the day after Thanksgiving a year ago.

A. Wal-Mart and Target offered birds as gifts B. Shopping was the major weekend activity C. People had time to go shopping online D. They were allowed special discounts

37. Retailers have the experience that consumers seem to ______.

A. feel eager to buy discounted good B. be hungry for special kinds of goods C. like to buy new DVD players as gifts D. be interested in major department stores

A. food stores B. large retailers C. online services D. clothing chains

39. By saying ―I feel like a kid in a candy store,‖ the lady in Connecticut probably means that ______.

A. she has difficulty choosing from such a wide variety of goods B. she cannot decide whether she should buy some candy C. she is quite interested in buying candy D. she recalls her happy childhood days

40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?_____

Task 3

Directions: This following is an Introduction to Montserrat Publishing. After reading it, you are required to complete the

outline below it(No.46 through No.50). You should write your answers briefly (in not more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.

We at Montserrat Publishing have published two books devoted to improving the everyday vocabulary of intermediate and advanced English language students.

You probably find that even though you have been studying English for many years, you still have problems following a social conversation between English speaking people.

Maybe you need English for business and you have a wide knowledge of the vocabulary relating to your specialty (专业) but you find it difficult to conduct meetings in English. This is because you cannot understand the practical, everyday expressions being employed. You may also need to understand journals and trade magazines written in English where a dictionary is not enough to convey the real meaning of what is being said.

The Practical Everyday English series consists of a collection of words and expressions used every day by all classes of a society. The idea is that after being presented with a word or expression the reader can see how it is used by reading two or three which have been studied on earlier pages.

Information on Newly-published Books Name of the series:____46 Number of the books: 47 Intended readers; 48 students studying English Purposes: 1. to enlarge the students’ everyday 49 of English 2. to help understand the meaning of practical, everyday expressions Content: a collection of 50 used every day in various situations Task 4

CHICAGO (AP) On Jan. 1, an order went into effect requiring that every checked bag at more than 400 of the nation’s commercial airports be screened (扫描检查) for bombs and weapons.

Sunday was expected to be the heaviest travel day since Jan. 1. Yet spot checks on Sunday at several of the nation’s airports showed no major delays caused by the new security measures.

At the international terminal for Northwest Airlines at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, passengers waited up to 30 minutes longer than usual. Their bags were sent through giant screening machines and workers tore open taped boxes and searched through their contents before closing them up again.

Most travelers simply accepted stricter screening developed since the terrorist(恐怖分子的) attacks on Sept.11, 2001, before which only 5 percent of the roughly 2 million bags checked each day were screened for bombs.

The U.S. government has put an additional 23,000 people into airports to carry out the new order.

Sonny Salgatar, a 23-year-old college student flying home to San Diego from Chicago, was told by an airport officer after the first pass that one of his bags was ―hot‖, meaning there was something he couldn’t identify and he wanted to open the bag for an inspection.

The ―hot‖ item turned out to be Salgatar’s clothing iron.

―Listen, anything they out to do for security is OK for me,‖ Salgatar said.

41. The new measure was adopted to guard against _______.

A. terrorist attacks B. luggage damage C. flight delays D. air crash

42. The word ―hot‖ (Line2, Para.6) most probably means _______. A. heated B. popular C. expensive D. suspicious 43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Major delays were caused after the security order went into effect. B. Most passengers regard the new measure as necessary. C. Passengers complain about longer delay at the airport.

D. There will be more and stricter security measures.

44. What was the attitude of Sonny Salgatar towards the security measure taken? Memo Subject: Goals for the next year A. He was

annoyed. B. He had no objection. C. He

thought it useless. D. He didn’t worry about it. 45. The best title of the passage might be _______. A. Fear of

Terrorist Attacks

July 20, 2004 Dear Sirs,

Today we have received your bill for 150 name-bearing(刻有名字的)crystal vases(花瓶)which you sent us the other day. We had ordered these vases on condition that they should reach us by the end of June. But they arrived here 15 days behind the schedule.

You may understand how we have lost the customer’s confidence in us. In this situation, we have to ask you to compensate for the loss we have suffered. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
