I arrived at my mother's home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt agter quilt from the boxes, proudly showing their beauties. She was perparing for a quilt showat the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the botten of on box.. I pulled it out. ―What is it?‖ I asked.

―Oh?‖Mon said, ―that's Mama's quilt.‖

I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together: irrugular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.

―Grandmother made this?‖ I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This didn't certainly look like any of the quils she had made.

―Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,‖ she said. ―I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far.‖

I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth with those words: ―My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all line straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.‖

―Oh, this is so nice, mom,‖ I said. It occurred to me that by completing my groundmother's quilt, my mother was honouring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a gamily treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continuned with the loving hands of another.

Whike all my classmates seem to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars(火星), I'd rather say Mars is totally unsuitable for human existence. People won''t have enough food supplies ther, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won't be safe. Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return?

Steve Minear, UK

Here are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expection of fame and glory┅ For scientists there is another reason. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements. Donal Trollop, Canada

There are alreafy too many people on the Earth. I think that something before the end od the

century, there will be a human colony on Mars. It will happen when people finally realize that two-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of the danger of space flight is in the launches and landings. Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement on another world.

Enough supplies can be sent on ahead, and every two years moresupplies and more people will be sent to the new colony. Mars has all the materials for a colony to produce or make everything it needs, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other plants in the outer space. Paul Davies, USA

60. The main purpose of Steve Minear's writing is .

A. to report his classmates' discussion B. to invite an answer to his question

Humans will have to bring all they need from the earth B. Humans will find Mars totally unsuitable for living C. Humans can produce everything they need D. Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars

C

Being able to multitask---doing several things at the same time---is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.

What we often see nowdays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产品)as they study. While working, they also surf on thr Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their ipods. In a sense, they spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.

Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at family table.

Multitasking also affects young people's perfoemance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets(器具)on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the rssponse from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that ypung people entering the

job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.

64. What does the underlined word ―juggle‖ in Paragraph 2 most probably means ? A. want to buy B. take the place of C. use at the same time D. seek for informatio from 65. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that .

A. family members do not eat at the family table B. family members do not greet each day C. young people live happily in their families

D. young people seldom talk with their family members 66. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Multitasking is harmful to young people's development B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people D. Young people must learn skills for future job 67. The author develops the passage mainly by . A. providing typical examples B. following the natural time order

C. comparing oponions from different fields D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects

D

Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travlers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.

Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigha, you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.

But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2560meters high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-foreard and two-step-back movements. As you climb, ypu hear the dull sounds of ruptions high above. Steaming, hot ramains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the McKenney Cone. Just as though you were going to walk over the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left ang up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.

Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time fo sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔岩)and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 meters into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For ypu, too, it is time to get down.

E

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decissions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, somrthing wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.

The endless choice gives birthto anxiety in people's live. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an ubsuitable item that it is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult desion-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals,lifestyle instructors,or advisors.

It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the day when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing: no choice, no anxiety. 72. What does the auther try to argue in Paragraph 1?

A. The exercise of rights is a luxury B. The practice of choice is difficult

C. The right of choice is given but at a price D. Choice and right exist at the same time 73. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?

A. Professionals find it hard to decide on s suitable product

B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persussion. C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.

D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice. 74. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove . A. advanced products meet the needs of people. B. products of the latest design flood the market C. competitions are firce in high-tech industry D. everyday goods needs to be replaced often 75. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The variety of choices in modern society B. The opinions on people's right in different countries C. The problem about the availability of everyday goods D. The helplessness in purchasing desions. 四、写作（共两节，满分35分）

I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn‘t care about my work, and he didn‘t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, ―Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?‖

At that time I didn‘t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, ―Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone! ‖ And she swept it into the wastebasket.

I stood watching her, speechless .What on earth?

She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, ―Now hear this! All objects in this room-if you do anything to upset my husband , out you go!‖

Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, ―Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.‖ With that, she left the room.

After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood（情绪）had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

56. Why did the author shout at the telephone? A. He was mad at the telephone. B. He was angry with his agent. C. He was anxious about his wife.

How to Be a Winner

Sir Steven Redgrave

Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

―In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career（职业生涯） was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was to no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it -the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn‘t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.‖ Karen Pickering

Swimming World Champion

―I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success-you can‘t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you‘ll be a step closer to achieving them.‖

Kirsten Best Poet & Writer

―When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can‘t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ?calm‘, ?peace‘ or ?focus‘, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological（心理的） tool‖ 60. What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about? A. Difficulties influenced his career.

B. Specialists offered him medical advice. C. Training helped him defeat his disease. D. He overcame the shadow of illness to win. 61. What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary? A. Her training schedule. B. Her daily happenings. C. Her achievements. D. Her sports career.

62.What does the underlined word ―distractions‖ probably refer to？ A. Ways that help one to focus.

B. Words that help one to feel less tense. C. Activities that turn one's attention away. D. Habits that make it hard for one to relax.

63. According to the passage ,what do the three people have in common? A. Courage. B. Devotion. C. Hard work.

D. Self-confidence.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature .However, whether you are on the

mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don‘t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don‘t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be ―green gyms‖. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it‘s free. 64. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of? A. Cycling around a lake. B. Motor racing in the desert. C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming in a sports center.

65. What do we know about golf from the passage? A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.

B. It causes water shortages around the world. C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.

D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.

66. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because______. A. it is an outdoor sport B. it improves our health C. it uses fewer resources

D. it is recommended by experts

67. The author writes the passage to_______. A. show us the function of major sports B. encourage us to go in for green sports

C. discuss the major influence of popular sports

D. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports

Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage(遗产) Site.

I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist(薄雾), Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to

imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool‘s history.

As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries(美术馆) than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain‘s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.

As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool‘s famous Philharmonic pub(酒馆). It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.

Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of ―outstanding universal value‖. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

68. Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by________ A. its charming banks B. its famous museums C. its wonderful palaces D. its attractive buildings

69. The third paragraph is developed mainly by______ A. providing different examples B. following the order of space C. making comparisons D. analyzing causes

70. The author uses the Philharmonic pub to prove that_______ A. Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurants B. Liverpool is an impressive place full of attraction C. a pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relax themselves

D. a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to complete their journey 71. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool B. The exciting experience of the author in Liverpool C. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool

D. The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool

E

A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be ―running out of control‖, This idea is dangerous.

Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back

and do nothing.

Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere , sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world.

In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of ―controlling‖ science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.

Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future. 72. What can we conclude from the recent study? A. People think highly of science.

B. People hold mixed opinions about science. C. Science is getting dangerously out of control. D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.

73. According to the passage , what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?

A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down. B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science. C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future. D. People will work more actively to put science under control.

74. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_______ A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomes B. the ties between different areas need strengthening

C. united efforts are necessary for the development of science D. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science 75. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.

B. The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes. C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.

D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.

Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest (卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed am empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We cautiously began a conversion and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford

something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,

―My I get you something?‖ ―A coffee would be nice. ‖

Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,

―How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?‖ ―Who?‖

―The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs. ‖

I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world‘s richest and most powerful men!

My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.

56. What does the underlined word ―disheveled‖ mean? A. Unfriendly. B. Untidy. C. Gentle. D. Kind.

57. The author bought coffee for the old man because

A. he thought the old man was poor B. he wanted to start a conversation C. he intended to show his politeness D. he would like to thank the old man 58. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend? A. Proud. B. Pitiful. C. Surprised. D. Regretful

C. People in high positions are not like what we expect. D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances. B

Love, success, happiness, family and freedom—how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life. Question: Could you introduce yourself first?

Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I‘m a web designer.

Q: What are your great memories?

A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories. Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?

A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. however, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.

Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?

A: If I could change something in my life, I‘d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn‘t matter as

long as I can live with my family and we are safe. Q: How do your get along with your parents?

A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I‘ve got. That‘s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters (过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch. 60. In Misbah‘s childhood, ________.

A. he was free from worry B. he liked living in the countryside

C. he was fond of getting close to nature D. he often spent holidays with his family 61. What did Misbah desire most in his childhood? A. A colorful life. B. A beautiful house.

It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features (特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men‘s clothes tend to button from the right, and women‘s form the left. Considering most of the word‘s population-men and women-are right-handed, the men‘s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women‘s clothes button from the left?

History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women‘s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hang, having men‘s shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women‘s shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women‘s shirts that buttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men‘s shirts.

64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry? A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. B. It is different for men‘s clothing and women‘s. C. It woks better with men than with women. D. It fails to consider right-handed people.

65. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century? A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons. B. They were interested in the historical matters. C. They were mostly dressed by servants. D. They drew their swords from the left.

66. Women‘s clothes still button from the left today because A. adopting men‘s style is improper for women B. manufacturers should follow standards C. modern women dress themselves D. customs are hard to change

67. The passage is mainly developed by ________. A. analyzing cause B. making comparisons

C. examining differences D. following the time order D

Sitting on the peaceful coast of the Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn‘t forget the Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work. On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin‘s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.

The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin die hour 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.

The most well crown animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise (巨型陆龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago (群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.

Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures; diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.

Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, so you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time. 68. What do we know about Danwin‘s visit to the islands? A. He studied different creatures on the islands. B. He completed his famous book on the islands. C. He was touched by the geography of the islands.

D. He was attracted by well-know animals of the islands.

69. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands ―a paradise for wildlife‖? A. Animals on the islands feed on grass. B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.

C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish. D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.

70. Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of ________. A. The beautiful sea views B. Darwin‘s inspiring trip C. a closer view of animals D. various daring activities

71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. A Unique Attraction for wildlife Lovers B. Galapagos as a Paradise for Adventures C. Charles Darwin as a symbol of Galapagos D. A successful Example of wildlife protection E

Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.

This sense of wonder is universal look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The lord of the Rings, This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone to far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?

Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms, however, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children bye age eight were much more familiar with humans for television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction (交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen

The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad, But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet (出路) our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something, We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.

72. The popularity of ―The Lord of the Rings‖ proves ________. A. the close connection between man and the fantasy world B. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature C. the fine taste of moviegoers around the world D. the general existence of the sense of curiosity

73. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy. B. The world around us could serve as a sound of wonder.

C. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.

D. Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.

74. If our sense of wonder relics totally on the world of make-believe. we will________. A. fail to appreciate the joy in our lives

B. be confused by the world of make-believe

C. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world D. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us 75. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world. B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy wonder C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder D. To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe 四、写作（共两节，满分35分）

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attrtedes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread

of

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered ―little of childhood but its pain‖. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family ——both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on

literature , particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.

Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments,however,were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn‘t lose heart,and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.

Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats‘s poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very tradisional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.

He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923.Yet,he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40,he would probably now his valued as a manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats‘s death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines: Earth,recive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel (船) lie Emptied of its poetry

68.Which of the following can describe Yeats‘s family? A.It filled Yeats‘s childhood with laughter. B.It was shocked by Yeats‘s choice. C.It was a typically wealthy family. D.It had an artistic atmosphere.

C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s. D.Yeats was not favored by the publie until the 1923 Noble Prize. 70.What kind of feeling is expressed in W.H.Auden‘s lines? A.Envy B.Sympathy C.Emptiness D.Admiration

71.What is the passage mainly about? A.Yeats‘s literary achievements B. Yeats‘s historical infuluence C. Yeats‘s artistic ambition D. Yeats‘s national honor E

Skeptics are stange lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people,say skeptics, spread noting but bad news about the environment.The ―eco-guilt‖brought on by the discouraging nes about our planet gives rise to the popularity od skeptice as people search for more comforting worldviews.

Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book ,The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the ―real state of the world‖as fine. Of course ,another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special intererts. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg‘s views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public aboat issues like global warming.

So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg‘s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national

newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that ―After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.‖

Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg‘s ―preference for unexamined materials is incredible（不可信的）‖。

A critical （批判的）eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interest. People might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. That‘s a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.

72. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as ―skeptics‖?

A. People who agree on the popularity of ―eco-guilt‖. B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet. C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities. D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.

73. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg‘s books?

A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests. B .The book challenges views about the fine state of the wirld. C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews. D. Industry–funded media present confusing information. 74. The author mentioned the review inNaturein order to____. A. voice a different opinion B. find fault with Lomborg‘s book

C. challenge the authority of the media D. point out the value of scientific views.

75. What is the author‘s main purpose in writing the passenger? A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.

B. To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews. C. To blame the media‘s lack of responsibility in information.

D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media. 四、写作（共两节，满分35分）
