Will there always be 31 water? When you consider how necessary water is to each and every one of us and to all 32 (live) things, and when you observe how man has mismanaged other 33 (nature) resources, you may have reason to worry. Man has badly polluted his sources of water 34 Earth. And he uses more and more water each day. Can man learn to treat 35(pollute) water for reuse fast enough 36(keep) pace with the world's technology and 37 (grow)population?

At the present time there is no serious shortage of water in the United States. Water however,is not 38 able to meet all the local needs. Some areas, such as the southwestern part of our country,get less rain than 39. In these areas, water must be brought in from 40 outside. Los Angeles, for example, must obtain its water from sources hundreds of miles away in the Colorado River and the rivers of northern California.

A

Karen,grown up in a very traditional family in the western United States,maintained high moral(道德的) standars throughout her youth..In 1984,at the age of 23,she married Bill.They were blessed with two children,a boy and a girl.

By 1991 their love had deepened,and they were happy.Later that year,Bill developed a white spot on his tongue.He visited a doctor.

One day shortly after that,Bill called Karen to sit beside him.He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her.The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV,the virus that leads to AIDS.

The family was tested.Bill and Karen‘s results were positive.Bill had become infected before he met Katen;then he passed the virns on to Karen.The children‘s results were negative.Within three years,Bill was dead.―I don‘t know how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly.I cried many nights.He died three months short of ten years of our marriage,‖says Karen.Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death,she is still alive.The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS. 易考网络：www.ekaonet.com

Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS,a figure larger than the combined populations of Australia.Ireland and Paraguay.According to one UN report,Africa has 21 million of these victims.By the turn of the century that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history.Of the wold‘s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49,1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV.Of these,only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected.In some parts of Africa,25 percent of the adults are infected.

Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981,about 11.7 million people have died of it.It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone,about 2,3 million people died of it.Nevertheless,there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS.During the past few years,there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations.In addition,promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.

41.By telling the story of Karen,the author intends to . A.were people against high risk behaviors B.stress the importance of medical tests C.express sympathy for AIDS victims D.show the consequences of AIDS

42.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably means ― ‖. A.were lucky in having B.were asked to adopt C.regretted having D.gave birth to

43.Bill was suspected of being infected with HIV after . A.he got married to Karen B.the family members were tested C.Karen persuaded him to see the doctor D.he found something wrong with his tongue 44.It can be concluded from the passage that . A.promising drugs will soon stop AIDS B.the spread of AIDS could be controlled C.it is hopeless to win the battle against AIDS D.the death rate of AIDS patients has been reduced B

How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?

In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.

Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks （象牙）， and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds. Desert clephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families, They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a ―bag‖ at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders-they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Yong elephants may even eat the dung （粪便）of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage. 易考网络：www.ekaonet.com

During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine (尿液) to make them muddy!

As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.

45. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means― ‖. A.remains in the African countries B.drinks 120 liters of water a day C.manages to live in desert areas D.eats 150 kilograms of food daily

46.Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they . A.tarely ruin trees B.drink only every 3-4 days C.search for food in large groups D.protect food sources for their young

47.The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with . A.stories and explanation B.facts and descriptions C.examples and conclusion D.evidence and argument

48.What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage? A.Overheating the earth can be stopped. B.Not all animal species are so adaptable. C.The planet will become hotter and hotter. D.Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants. C

Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn‘t mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias (恐惧症) much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological (心理的). It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything-a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says:―Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge.‖So don‘t make the same old mistake of treating them as if they‘re silly for boing a―scaredy cat‖. Handing the fears is essential.

Children can be born nervous and., if you have such a baby, you‘ll tend to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, You‘ll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says:―You should‘t force, for example, a dog anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke (抚摸) it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog-one that‘s good with children, of course-then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for?being brave‘.‖

49.Children‘s fears are usually taken lightly because . A.they will not develop into phobias B.their influence is psychological C.they exist widely in the world D.they will disappear gradually

50.If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will . A.make the same old mistake B.overcome them by themselves C.experience the worst of things D.grow up lacking self-confidence

51.According to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should . A.tell the child not to be afraid of it B.show the child how to approach it C.keep the child away from it D.ask the child to stroke it D

Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy peopke and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two. Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.

Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply inereased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues. 易考网络：www.ekaonet.com

―Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,‖ conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors, for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.

In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health-rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap (差距)。Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. ―The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.‖says Michalos.

Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad―Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied？‖asks Protessor Laura Carstensen. In one survey, Carstensen in tervicwed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they‘re more realistic abour their time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don‘t.

―People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,‖ she says. ―A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.‖

52.According to the passage, the feeling of happiness . A.is determined partly by genes B.increases gradually with age C.has little to do with wealth D.is measured by desires

53.Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs . A.make them feel much better B.provide chances to make friends C.improse their social position D.satisfy their professional interests

54.Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more . A.optimistic B.successful C.practical D.emortional

55.Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if . A.the gap between reality and desire is bigger B.they have a stronger desire for friendship C.their income is below their expectation D.the hope for good health is greater

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an

unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front-door key to the carpenter. \

The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

第一节：基础写作（15分） Dear Jia Qi,

Very glad to have received your letter. Now I‘ll tell you about students‘ taking the part-time jobs in Britain. In the UK, any secondary student over 15 can get a part-time job in his spare time. But they can work no more than three hours a day or 18 hours a week during the school year, and they are not allowed to work after 7: pm.

参考答案

In my opinion, taking a part-time job is beneficial, for first of all, teenagers may gain some working skills, such as how to fill out an application, how to do well in an interview and how

to get along with co-workers and bosses. What‘s more, taking a part- time job offers us a chance to learn to deal with our money properly. Above all, we may not only feel more confident when facing difficulties, but also learn to solve problems more independently , and therefore develop a sense of responsibility for our work and study . Looking forward to your letter. Best wishes.

Yours, Li Hua
