The teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart（運貨車）and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teacher's belongings. For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded, he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him.
The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again.
The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary(臨時的) place just at first.
A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, ‘Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till you’ve found a place to settle in, sir.’
‘Good idea,’ said the blacksmith.
The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone.
‘Sorry I am going, Jude?’ asked the latter kindly.
Tears rose into the boy’s eyes. He admitted that he was sorry.
‘So am I,’ said Mr. Phillotson.
‘Why do you go, sir?’ asked the boy.
‘Well―don't speak of this everywhere. You know what a university is, and a university degree? It is the necessary hallmark (標志) of a man who wants to do anything in teaching. My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate. By going to live at Christminster, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.’
The smith and his companion returned. Old Miss Fawley's fuel-house was practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there. So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.
At nine o'clock Mr. Phillotson mounted beside his box of books, and waved his friends good-bye.
60. It seemed that the teacher _____.
A. was not getting on well with the headmaster
B. had lived a rather simple life in the village
C. was likely to continue to practice playing the piano
D. would get help in the city on arriving there
61. The motivation of the teacher’s moving lay in his _____.
A. ambition B. devotion C. admiration D. inspiration
62. The boy named Jude may be described as _____.
A. polite, generous and cheerful B. active, modest and friendly
C. kind, bright and helpful D. calm, confident and humorous
63. In the passage the writer describes both the teacher’s _____.
A. love for music and his dislike for musical instruments
B. hard work in the village and his strong interest in city life
C. friendship with some villagers and also conflicts with others
D. eagerness to go to the city and his love for the village
64. Which person does the underlined “his companion” refer to?
A. Mr. Phillotson B. Miss Fawley C. The bailiff D. The headmaster

Scientists say California's special landscapes are changing gradually as the world gets warmer. Now, with a new generation of computer models, they're trying to make clear what those changes will be: Less snow? More wildfires? Fewer animals?
The new computer models allow scientists to divide the state into much smaller regions than ever before------just thirty-six square miles. These regional models give scientists a way of draping climate over California's complex landscape.
Scientists want to understand how warming will affect the state's people, its economy, and the thousands of species that only live in California. The State's Climate Action Team has organized a meeting last month in Los Angeles on the economic effects of these targets.
California started the only state-run climate research program three years ago and is spending about$5 million a year on it. The goal of the research is to limit the impact of such changes.
California is part of an internationally recognized "hot spot" of biodiversity that extends north across the Oregon border and south into Baja California. It's home to 4,426 species of plants, nearly half of which are found nowhere else.
What happens in California could have broad influence. If California were a nation, it would be the fifth-biggest economy in the world and the 12th-biggest generator of greenhouse gases.
Scientists are also looking beyond the greenhouse effect. For instance, urban development warms climate; cities give off more heat than natural areas. Cities also absorb more heat from the sun. This phenomenon is known as the "urban heat island effect".
65. The writer intends to tell readers .
A. studies on the future wildlife in California by computer
B. predicting the future economy of California caused by getting warmer
C. a programme to study the future of California carried by the California government
D. research on the future effect on California caused by getting warmer by high technology
66. The underlined word “generator” in the 6th paragraph probably has the same meaning as .
A. producer B. destroyer C. sufferer D.supporter
67. Which of the following statements about “urban heat island effect” phenomena is wrong? .
A. cities absorb more heat from the sun
B. cities give off more heat than natural areas
C. warming affects plants and animals
D. urban development warms climate
68. There are more than two thousand species of plants .
A. that exist only in this area B. that will be harmed by the changing weather
C. that will survive in this area D. that will die out in future
D
With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct(滅絕), Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant(移植) the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure（程序） could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
69. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
70. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.
A. available panda eggs B. host animals
C. qualified researchers D. enough money
71. From the passage we know that _______.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to implant(移植) a panda’s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century
72. Which of the following should be the best title for the passage?
A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning. B. The First Cloned Panda in the World.
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas. D. China ―the Native Place of Pandas Forever.

John Dalton was born in England in 1766，ten years before the U．S．Declaration of Independence was signed．His family lived in a small cottage．As a small child，John worked in the fields with his brother，and helped his father in a shop where they wove cloth. Most poor boys at that time received no education，but John was lucky to attend a nearby school In 1766，when only about one out of every 200 people could read．
John was a good student and loved learning．His teachers encouraged him to study many things when he was twelve. He opened his first school in a nearby town，but there was little money．He had to close his schoo1．
Three years later，he joined his older brother and a friend in running a school. John studied the weather and nature around him. He collected butterflies，snails and mites. He discovered he was colorblind and studied that,too．
In 1793，John began to think about different elements and their composition. He had a theory that each element is made up of identical(完全相同的) atoms and that elements are different because each is made of different atoms．
In 1808，Dalton published a book，which listed the atomic weights of many known elements．These formed the basis for the modern periodic table(元素周期表)．Not everyone accepted Dalton’ theory of atomic structure at the time．However，he had to defend it with more research．
When John Dalton died in 1844，he was buried with honors in England．More 400,000 people viewed his body as it lay in state．As his final experiment，he asked that an autopsy(驗尸)be performed to learn the cause of his color-blindness：This was done，and proved the color-blindness was caused not by a problem with his eyes，but with the way his brain worked．Even in death, he helped expand scientific knowledge．
Today．scientists everywhere accept Dalton’s theory of atomic structure．A simple country boy showed the world a new way of thinking about the universe and how it is made．
73．John Dalton’s first school had to be closed mainly because___________．
A．he was color-blind B．his family lived in a small cottage
C．he had hardly enough money to run it D．he lacked experience
74．Which of the following descriptions about John Dalton is wrong?
A．John found a cure for color-blindness
B．As a student，John was outstanding
C．John used to help with farm work
D．In his book，presentation of the atomic weight of many known elements was of great importance.
75．From the passage we may conclude that______．
A．John Dalton’s only contribution to science was his achievement in chemistry
B．a(chǎn)s a great educator，John Dalton established the basis for education in England
C．John Dalton’s book about the elements enjoyed great popularity then
D．John Dalton devoted his entire life to science

第一節(jié) 任務(wù)型讀寫（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）
閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當?shù)脑~。
注意：表格中的空格里只填入一個詞。請將答案寫在答題卡相應題號的橫線上。
A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word blog is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information, and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free service, weblogs.com. He says the site became too expensive to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they didn’t know that the site was closing.
One blog that is sill going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.
Ms Blood says Rebecca’s pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything―politics, culture, and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts.

Dear Student Union,
I have just read the ad on the school bulletin and the moment I saw it I took an interest in becoming one of the volunteer English teachers of the five. Now I'm writing here to apply for this opportunity.
I am Li Ming, a boy'of 18, and I have a good command of English. Presently I work as a member of Loving Heart Club in our school. Voluntary work has helped me build confidence and good communication skills.
In my opinion, being a volunteer teacher at the S. O. S. Village is obviously more than just teaching; furthermore, it is helpful to broaden our horizons and improve our understanding of the world. That’s why I’d like very much to take this opportunity and make the most of my special talents and interests. By helping those kids, I feel I can make a big difference to their future and make a small contribution to society.
I’d appreciate it so much if you could possibly consider my application.I’m looking forward to your early reply and please email me at liming @ yahoo, com. cn.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
