The older of
my two friends has just got his driving license and was willing to drive almost
anywhere. 21 to drive, we got the idea of going to Italy
by car, and within the following week the idea was put into 22 . We prepared only the most necessary 23 , a map and a lot of money. In
case of a strike, we decided to drive through Sweden
instead of 24 a boat to Denmark.
On a dark and
rainy Monday we began our 25 . We soon noticed the car, owned by my
friend, was of the 26 and the highest speed. But some flashing
blue lights in the rear mirror and a horrible sound called a siren (警笛) 27 that our vacation would be in vain. After
a short 28 in the car, we concluded that we
could not 29 a speeding ticket. The only 30 was to increase the speed, and hopefully
we could get away from the 31 behind us. Half an hour later my friend
had shaken them off. It was only about 10 miles to go 32 we reached the boundary line(邊界線), and then we would be 33 and everything would be all right.
We were quite
tired when we 34 the Swedish border, and did not notice
the great number of police cars lined to form a 35 . The policemen that had been 36 us earlier had been smart enough to 37 the rest of the Norwegian police force of
our escape, and now we were 38 straight into it.
After the incident
we 39 some time in the hospital, as well as in prison
and finally we spent a lot of money 40 for the three police cars we destroyed. It
was not very fun, but at least it was an unforgettable holiday to tell the
grandchildren.

Language is a major problem for the European
Union (EU). The agreement or treaty(條約)which created the organization
that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each country’s
language must be treated equally. The original six countries had only three
languages between them: French, German and Dutch/Flemish. However, there are
now 15 countries in the EU with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be
translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must
be translated into all the languages by interpreters.
All this translating is very expensive and
time-consuming(費(fèi)時(shí)的). It is said that nearly half of
all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and
nearly half of the EU’s administrative (管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. In
the near future it is probably that several more countries, most of them having
their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.
The problem is not just cost: there are
practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages, there are 132 possible “translation
situations” that might be needed. It is often difficult to find people in the
right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into
Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese , at a high professional standard.
In practice the problem has been made less
severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials, since
almost all of them speak some English. However, any move to reduce the number
of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the price of
the smaller countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English
the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted
by powerful member countries like France
and Germany.
41. What’s the main purpose of this
passage?
A. To give a solution to a problem.
B. To find out a problem and show how severe
it is.
C. To criticize the
European Union for inefficiency.
D. To show that the
problem cannot be solved.
42. According to the writer, the
use of English in contacts among EU officials has_______.
A. angered the
officials who don’t speak English
B. reduced the
number of official languages
C. lessened the
effect of the problem
D. been opposed by
powerful member countries
43. The writer mentions “Danish
into Greek” as an example of_______.
A. a situation that
might be difficult to deal with
B. a situation that
occurs often
C. one of the 12
situations that requires an interpreter
D. languages easily
being interpreted
44. The writer suggests that if
the number of official languages was reduced______.
A. the EU would not
know which official languages to choose
B. countries whose
languages were not used officially would be unhappy
C. only languages which are
easy to translate would be used officially
D. the smaller member
countries would be pleased
In the early part of the twentieth century,
racism was widespread in the United
States. Many African Americans were not
given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson
(1897-1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer
in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during
her childhood. When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917,
she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she
began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing
there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe.
Then she returned to the US
in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for
her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington,
D.C, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color.
She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75, 000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first
black soloist to sing win the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous
conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”.
She was a US
delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually
triumphed over racism.
45. According to this passage,
what did Marian Anderson do between 1917 and 1929?
A. She studied at a
music school. B.
She sang for religious activities.

IS IT TIME TO GET MP3?
Your computer has been playing music for
years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC
(personal computer) if they’re in the MP3 format.
What is it?
MP3 compresses music into small computer
friendly files. You access MP3 music several ways: Music can be downloaded from
websites that have converted vast music libraries into MP3. Or you can
prerecord CDs into your PC and convert songs in minutes into MP3. Once MP3
music is on your PC’s hard drive, you can play it through your computer’s
speakers, “burn” it onto blank CDs or exchange MP3 files with friends
using E-mail.
How much?
Software needed to play and convert MP3 music
is often free. It comes preinstalled on most new computers or can be downloaded
from many websites, including MP3.com. Some MP3 sites are free. Just type “MP3 sites”
into any search engine. The popular MP3 players start at around $50 and can
hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a
dollar.
MP3 turns your home PC into a tape recorder.
Tiny MP3 players are the size of a card, making it easy to take hundreds of
songs with you.
You may find that music at many sites is
limited. And some only allow you to listen rather than download offerings.
Others let you download music that then can’t be copied to MP3 players. And a
growing number of new CDs make it impossible to copy songs to a computer.
49. How can you get MP3 music?
A. By turning your
home PC into a tape recorder.
B. By taking your
own music or songs with you.
C. By copying songs
to a PC through the speakers.
D. By downloading
from websites which have converted music libraries into MP3.
50. Which is NOT true according to
the passage?
A. MP3 music can be
downloaded for free at any site.
B.
MP3 music can be exchanged with friends by e-mail.
C. Software needed
to play and convert MP3 music is often free of charge.
D. A greater number
of new CDs make it impossible to copy songs to a computer.
51. The underlined word “burn”
probably means_____.
A. fire B. change C.
destroy D. play
52. How much will you pay for a
MP3 player?
A. Free of charge.
B. Free downloading.
C. At least fifty
dollars. D. About a dollar.
Most people think their time problems are
outer, and that they are caused by the telephone, meetings, visitors, and
delayed information or decisions. Although these problems often have a bad effect
on them, when people call or drop in, we usually contribute to them. We fail to
have calls screened by a skillful secretary or assistant, or we leave our door
open, actually assuring constant interruptions.
In almost all cases, it is possible to
influence, if not control, it usually can cause problems, such as, slowness and
indecision, lack of self-discipline, the inability to delegate, or the tendency
to fight fires, to act without thinking, and to jump from task to task without
finishing any of them.
Time is constant that cannot be changed. The
clock cannot be slowed down or speeded up. Thus we cannot manage time itself.
We can only manage our activities with respect to time.
The same skills are needed as those used in
managing others―the abilities to plan, organize, delegate, direct, and control.
Time management is simply self-management. It is impossible to be effective in
any position without controlling one’s time effectively.
Successful time management does not mean
working harder, but working smarter. All kinds of management skills must be
used in the home and office to get most value from time. You must think ahead
about what to do, and timely than others, making it get maximum results in the
shortest possible period.
53. According to the writer, time
problems .
A. are caused by
the telephone, meetings and visitors
B. are caused by
delayed information or decisions
C. can be solved by
self-management
D. can’t be
controlled
54. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about
the problems caused by poor time management?
A. Slowness and
indecision.
B. Lack of
self-discipline.
C. Jumping from
task to task without finishing any of them.
D. Working hard.
55. It can be concluded from the passage that
the abilities to plan, organize, delegate, direct and control should .
A. be used in
managing others’ activities
B. be used in
managing one’s own activities
C. not be used in
time management
D. be used in
managing both others’ and one’s own activities
56. We can also draw a conclusion
that the key to successful time management is .
A. working harder
and harder
B. clever
self-management
C. thinking of what
to do, and how and when to do it
D. employing a
skillful secretary
The Human Genome Project, a great $3 billion,
15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90
percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited
about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and
prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers are also careful
about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the
mysteries of life.
For the last few years, the genetic advances in
the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided material for all kinds
of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of
human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as
well as for the population imagination.
While European and Japanese researchers are
making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the leading organization for
genetic research in the Untied States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the
code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases. Already, the
Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes
connected with as yet terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating
the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.
Once these genes are found and studied,
researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases.
Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome; as they
expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.
57. Why did the scientists work so
hard at mapping the human genome?
A. Because the
human genome can destroy many illnesses.
B. Because the
human genome’s completion can help to get rid of many diseases.
C. Because they
wanted to be better known than others.
D. Because the
Human Genome Project can provided a lot of chances of work.
58. According to the passage, which of the
following countries is the most advanced in genetic research?
A. Japan B. Germany
C. The United
States D.
China
59. According to the passage,
which of the following is NOT true?
A. If the genes can
be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.
B. The United
States began genetic research in the early 19th century.
C. Many medical
companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.
D. The scientists
have made great progress in connecting some genes with the cancers.
60. What is mainly talked about in
this passage?
A. The great human
genome. B. The discovery of genes.
C. Unlocking the
genetic code. D. Genes and scientists.

One possible version:
A recent survey shows that
the health of the students in our school has been going from bad to worse in
the past three years. The number of nearsighted
students has increased from 78.2% in 2005 to 92.5% in 2008, while that of
overweight, from 36% to 52.4%. Nearly 10% more students lack sleep because of
more homework to do. Besides, over 15% more students become mentally unhealthy.
To improve students’ health, we call for less homework. Only in this
way can students get plenty of sleep and meanwhile prevent them from being
nearsighted. Proper diets and exercise should also be paid attention to so that
they won’t easily put on weight. With their heavy burdens removed, students can
then keep in normal mental health.
