第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

How clever are you? How do we measure intelligence? Where did your intelligence come from? Scientists now believe that our genes strongly influence how our brain develops. We inherit our genes from our parents. In other words, we inherit our intelligence from our parents. This does not mean that we cannot do anything to develop ourselves. Each of us must decide how to use our brains and how to develop our skills.

Scientists have studied sets of identical twins(同卵雙胞胎). They have found that certain areas of the brain are strongly influenced by our parents, and that these areas influence intelligence. Identical twins have almost identical brains. When they did tests, scientists found that identical twins had very similar scores in test with numbers, words, shapes and memory, This was not true with non-identical twins, or brothers and sister; they had great differences in their test scores.

However, our success as adults is not simply a matter of how clever we are. Our ability to work with other people is also important. In addition, our determination, confidence and our courage also play important parts. We may inherit our intelligence from our parents but we must decide how to live our own lives. We cannot blame our parents!

There is one area where our parents can help us. When we are children, they can provide us with a stimulating(起激勵作用的)environment in which to live. This will help to develop our brains and develop our confidence. If parents encourage their children to listen to music, to play a musical instrument, to play with puzzles, to draw pictures and to read books, then their children are likely to become more intelligent. Remember that when you become a parent!

56.  What idea does the writer mainly want to express in this passage? __________

A. Genes decide how a child will develop in the future.

B. We can do something to change genes we inherit from our parents .

C. Genes play an important but not a key part in how a person develop in his life.

D. Using our brains can improve our genes quite a lot.

57.  The underlined word “inherit” in the first paragraph means to “__________”.

A. have qualities, physical features, etc. that are similar to those of your parents.

B. change or be different according to the situation one faces

C. have better quality, physical feature, etc. than that of your parents

D. prevent you having the same character or appearance as your parents

58.  In the writer’s opinion, _________.

A. a successful person should be social instead of being clever

B. intelligence is not important for a person’s growing

C. parents should offer more activities to help their children develop

D. children should be taught in the same way their parents were taught

B

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.

Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.

Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.

59.  All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 EXCEPT __________.

A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”

B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands

C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items

D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands

60.  What does the writer think about ads? __________

A. They are believable.                        B. They are attractive.

C. They are full of misinformation.           D. They are helpful to consumers.

61.  One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is __________.

A. to make use of ads             

B. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”

C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch

D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands

62.  The author implies that __________.

A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to

B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low

C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to      

D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth

A letter to Edward, a columnist (報刊專欄作家)

Dear Mr. Expert:

I grew up in an unhappy and abusive (漫罵的) home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.

Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine ― so much so that they make mine theirs.

It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.

I enjoy having my friends here sometimes ― it makes the place feel comfortable and warm ― but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy?

Joan

Edward’s reply to Joan

Dear Joan:

If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.

And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with ― or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.

Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”

63.  We can learn from the first letter that Joan ________.

A. lives away from her parents                   B. takes pride in her friends

C. knows Mr. Expert quite well                  D. hates her parents very much

64.  We can infer from the first letter that ________.

A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy

B. Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept

C. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all

D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over

65.  According to Mr. Edward, why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings? __________

A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.       

B. She does not understand true friendship.

C. Her family experience stops her from doing so. 

D. She does not put her needs first.

66.  The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means________.

A. dependent life                                       B. fierce fight 

C. bad manners                                        D. painful feeling

67.  The second letter suggests that Mr. Edward ________.

A. is worried about Joan’s problem             B. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends

C. advises Joan on how to refuse people      D. encourages Joan to be brave enough

D

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium (千年), was made up of three parts ―― “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

       John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

       After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology (神話) for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

       Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural (鄉(xiāng)村的) class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

       One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft (草稿). The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.

       It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers ― new and old ― after their publication.

68.  What is mainly discussed in the text? __________

A. “The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.

B. A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.

C. A famous professor at Oxford University.

D. The power of the magic ring.

69.  What can we learn from the text? __________

A. “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.

B. People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.

C. Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.

D. Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.

70.  What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works? __________

A. Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

B. Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.

C. Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.

D. Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.

71.  Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published? __________

A. One of Tolkien’s students.                      B. Stanley Unwin’s son.

C. Allen & Unwin.                                    D. Bilbo Baggins.

72.  Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience? _________

a. He had his “The Hobbit” published.

b. He became a member of the Inklings.

c. He served in World WarⅠ.

d. He became an undergraduate at Oxford.

e. His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

f. He moved to England to live with his aunt.

A. f-d-b-c-a-e            B. f-d-c-b-a-e           C. f-c-d-b-e-a             D. d-f-c-a-b-e

It is sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life difficult for foreigners. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, “If I finish my work, I’ll meet you in the cafe at 7 o’clock.” Is she saying “yes” or “no” to his invitation?

    In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure (表示條件的句式). By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a “yes” or “no” answer to a question. It enables people to be diplomatic (婉轉(zhuǎn)的). If the girl doesn’t want to go out with the boy, she won’t turn up at the cafe. She will let him understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn’t want to appear too easy to catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the cafe. Being polite can make life very difficult!

    The conditional is often used by people in the news -- politicians, for example -- who wish to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, “If we could pay you more, we would.” The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.

    “If ” is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the First -- probability -- if I can come to your party, I will; the Second -- improbability -- if I saw you tomorrow, I’d give you the book; and the Third -- impossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened ) -- if you have told me, I would have helped you.

73.  The using of the conditional can make a speech _________.

A. clearer                  B. quicker                C. more polite             D. more exciting

74.  Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? __________

A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.

B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.

C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.

D. The word “ if ” can show different meanings.

75.  In the passage, “If we could pay you more, we would.” probably means __________.

A. the workers will make more money        B. the spokesman doesn’t give any promise

C. the spokesman keeps his word                D. the workers’ problems aren’t difficult

試題詳情

2009屆高考英語熱點預(yù)測優(yōu)秀作文十篇

1.

某對外發(fā)行的英文報紙對中國群眾體育現(xiàn)狀進行了調(diào)查,請根據(jù)下列圖表和所給提示,用英語寫一篇報道,以便向該報投稿。

說明:1.體質(zhì)下降;

      2.應(yīng)充分認(rèn)識體育鍛煉的重要性;

      3.采取措施,提供人們鍛煉的場地和器材(facilities );

      4.字?jǐn)?shù):120 ― 140. 報道的開頭已給出,不計入總詞數(shù)。

Recently, we have made a survey of the people on physical training. Only 35 percent of the people surveyed have taken part in physical activities.

Over half of the people say they haven’t got enough time to take exercises. 34.9 percent of them complain they don’t have places where they can relax themselves and that there are not enough training facilities, while another 12.9 percent of the people feel that they live too far away from the training centers. Some of them even don’t know how to train.

For lack of physical training, many people are not in good health. People should realize the importance of it, and measures should be taken to provide people with training facilities.

2.

以下是某英文報聯(lián)合你校對你市(Kangming City)1998年到2008年家庭消費變化的圖表,請據(jù)此寫一篇短文,作一文字說明。文章的開頭已經(jīng)給出。詞數(shù)110左右。


 

The average family income in our Kangming City increased from 8,000 yuan per year in 1998 to 20,000 yuan in 2008. In the meantime, the structure of the average family expenses has changed, too. These graphs show the change clearly.

The biggest part of the average family expenses is housing. In 1998, the average family spent 25 percent of its income on housing. In 2880, expenses on housing rose to 42 percent. Food and drink are the second biggest part of the average family expenses. In 1998, about 18% of the average income was spent on this item. In 2008, the figure grew to 30%. As a result of such increase in the expenses on housing and food, expenses on other items have been reduced from 57% in 1998 to 28%in 2008.

Thus, a conclusion can be drawn that as income increases, people can improve their living step. But still the average family has to spend a large part of income to meet the basic needs.

請觀察下圖,請以“Where is my home?”為題,用英語寫一篇100詞左右的短文。內(nèi)容包括:

注:文章的開頭已經(jīng)給出,不計人詞數(shù);參考詞匯:口罩mask


Where is my home?

Some fish are forced to leave polluted water and are flying in the sky. But unfortunately, air is also so polluted that they have to wear masks. Each of them is crying, “Where is my home?” What a terrible sight!

Mankind has brought so much pollution. Waste is being poured into rivers and seas. Poisons to kill pests in farming and chemicals go into rivers and seas, too. Poisonous gasses from factories also make the air so dirty. The whole balance of nature is being destroyed as a result of our ignorance of the environmental protection.

Personally, man can not live alone on the earth. Should fish die from serious pollution, so would man! It is high time we did something to prevent such a scene from happening.

假如你是高三的學(xué)生,最近你就高三模擬考試該難還是該容易這個問題進行了一次調(diào)查。請結(jié)合下表內(nèi)容,用英語寫一篇短文,介紹有關(guān)調(diào)查情況,并發(fā)表自己的看法。

贊成偏難,反對偏易

贊成偏易,反對偏難

1.喜歡挑戰(zhàn),越難越好;

2.有助于學(xué)生了解自己的薄弱環(huán)節(jié),

改進學(xué)習(xí)方法。

2.題目容易,易獲高分,有自信。

注意:1.詞數(shù)150左右,開頭已為你寫好(不計入總詞數(shù));

      2.可適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié),以使行文連貫。

Recently I have made an investigation on whether a model-test paper for Senior Three should be difficult or easyOpinions are divided on this matter.

Some students think that a difficult exam is just like a challenge.The harder, the better.It can help students find out where they are weak in studies and improve their learning approaches.

Others,however,are against a difficult exam.In their opinion,if it is very difficult,they may become discouraged and feel terrible about the coming College Entrance Examination.Besides,with an easy exam,they can get high marks and gain confidence.

I prefer it to be neither too difficult nor too easy, because if it is too easy, teachers will not know how we are getting on with our studies, but if it is too difficult, we will lose heart

 

5.

從學(xué)校畢業(yè),或上大學(xué),或步入社會,畢業(yè)意味著前進、意味著選擇。請以Graduation and moving on為題,寫一篇100詞左右的畢業(yè)感言。

要求:1、畢業(yè)前活動:照相、留言等;

Graduation and Moving on

Graduation is a time when we move on, from school to university, or out into the real world

Before graduating from school, We usually have a variety of activities, like taking pictures, leaving encouraging words to one another in memory of our friendship, or giving presents to our teachers express our thanks and show respect.

However, I have mixed emotions about moving on.I want to stay and have more fun with my friends, but I will have to move on.Graduation means taking a step forward---moving onward and upward.Thus I can learn more and will be more skilled and experienced.

Graduation is coming whether we are ready or not.Let's make  great  efforts so that our dream will come true.

假定你是某英文報的小記者,最近你對大學(xué)生的就業(yè)觀點及專家對此的看法進行了采訪。請根據(jù)以下要點寫一篇題為“Different Job Outlooks”的短文,詞數(shù)100詞左右。

學(xué)生觀點:1.大部分想找一份薪金豐厚的工作;

2.部分持觀望態(tài)度,等待良機;

3.少數(shù)想自己創(chuàng)業(yè)。

專家觀點:不應(yīng)坐等,要盡快找份工作,理由是:

1.積累經(jīng)驗;

2.掙錢養(yǎng)活自己;

3.明年就業(yè)形勢或許更嚴(yán)峻。

 

Different Job Outlooks

Nowadays university graduates have different job outlooks. For most of them, to find a job with satisfactory pay is their most important wish while majority want to be self ? employed. However, a certain number of graduates are not in a hurry to hunt for jobs. They are just waiting for better chances. Toward this point of view, some experts warn that it is not wise to be just waiting. They advise that graduates should find a regular, full-time job as quickly as possible so that they can earn money to support themselves and get working experience, which will help to find a better position later. Moreover, it might be more difficult to find a satisfactory job next year.

2.可適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié),以使行文連貫; 

3.開頭語已為你寫好(不計入總宇數(shù))。

參考詞匯:宿舍dormitory

Time seems to speed up as soon as the students step into their final and vital yearThe college entrance examination is approaching day by dayQuite a few students have moved out from their dormitories to live in a rented room near the school to make every minute count.

It cannot be denied that they have their own time schedule after classes and easily concentrate on lessons alone in their small room.What’s important,with their morns taking care of them,they can spare more time for studies.However,there exist some disadvantages.For example,sometimes their minds go wandering easily without competitors round.Furthermore,a student who is left alone to study at rather an easy atmosphere tends to get distracted or even feel tired easily.

In spite of the fact that the dorm life is full of fun and friendship,noisy songs and shouts in the dorms after evening classes only quiet down long after the blackout at 10:30 p. m.,leading to a serious lack of sleep,I think.Worse still,they don’t make fullest use of time to study so,from my perspective.I prefer to live in the rented room.

假設(shè)你班最近就圓明園是否重建開展了一場討論,同學(xué)們觀點有分歧,各自理由主要如下表所示,請根據(jù)表格提供的討論情況寫一篇英文報道。

贊同

反對

1.重建該園輝煌景象

1.保留原樣更為合理

2.中華文明具體體現(xiàn)

2.警示人們不忘過去

3.旅游新景點

3.其他建筑同樣反映中華文化(如故宮、頤和園等),重建并非必須

4.如部分恢復(fù),可與廢墟對照,讓人們記住歷史

4.破壞該地生態(tài)環(huán)境

注意:1.詞數(shù):150左右  2.標(biāo)題、開頭已經(jīng)寫好,不計入詞數(shù)。3. 要自擬結(jié)論。

參考詞匯:故宮the Palace Museum;  頤和園the Summer Palace

Should Yuanmingyuan Be Rebuilt?

Yuanmingyuan, “Garden of all gardens”, was burnt and fell into ruins in 1860  Recently my classmates had a discussion about whether it should be rebuilt or not.

Supporters of rebuilding the garden say only by doing so can we see the original sight of the garden, which reflects the Chinese civilization. And it will be another place of interest for tourists. If partly rebuilt, it will provide a comparison and help us remember the history.

Those who disagree think it more reasonable to keep the garden like this. The ruins will remind us of the past. We should never forget the history. Other buildings like Palace Museum and Summer Palace can also be symbols of the Chinese culture, so it isn’t necessary to rebuild this garden. Some also worry that the environment will be destroyed when the construction goes on in this district.

Personally, it is advisable to rebuild Yuanmingyuan , which will add beauty to the city . What’s more , the new scenic spot will no doubt promote the economic development of the local.

1.今年二月在巴黎公開拍賣;

2.中國政府堅決反對, 要求按國際法無償歸還;

2.詞數(shù): 150左右。開頭已給出, 不計入總詞數(shù)。

3.參考詞匯. auction n. & vt. 拍賣relic [C] n.文物, 遺物

Last month in Paris, a French company auctioned two bronze sculptures ---- a rat’s head and a rabbits head captured from China, which has aroused great public concern in China.

As is known to all, the two bronze animal heads were made during the Qing Dynasty to decorate Yuanmingyuan. In 1860, the British and French troops broke into Beijing and burned down the royal garden, taking away millions of Chinese art works, including the two head relics.

The Chinese government is strongly against this auction and has repeatedly asked for the free return of them according to the international laws. At the same time, the Chinese people have taken actions, too. Some people even flew to France, trying to stop the selling. However, the French company just wouldn’t listen.

In my opinion, the auction should be strongly condemned. Not only has it hurt the feelings of the Chinese people but also it brought shame to France. As middle school students, we must study harder so that we can make our country more powerful in the future and stop any such things from happening again.

感覺很酷;

你的看法

(請考生自己擬定內(nèi)容,列舉兩至三點。)

Good afternoon, everyone!

The topic of my speech today is “My Attitude to Pursuit of Fashion in School”.

Now in our school there is a hot pursuit of fashion. Some students live a very expensive life. They have the same hairstyles as their favorable stars and wear top brand of clothes and shoes. Some use expensive mobile phones.

The reasons why they do so are as follows. Firstly, they hope to look smart and special. Secondly, they want to win others’ admiration and respect. In addition, it makes them feel cool .

As far as I am concerned, we students should hold the right sense of values. We should practice thrift in our daily life because it is one of our Chinese traditional virtues. What’s more , it is advisable for us to donate some pocket money to the Hope Project so that those poor children in rural areas can return to school to receive normal education. Last but not  least, it is the inner beauty rather than our appearance that makes us respectable.

Thank you for listening!

    It was a bitter cold evening in Virginia many years ago. The old man's beard was frozen by winter's frost while he waited for a ride across the river. The   31  seemed endless.

    He heard the steady rhythm of  32   hooves(馬蹄) along the frozen path.  33  , he watched as several horsemen came near. He let the first one pass by.   34  another passed by, and another.

     The old man  43  the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I've been around here for a      long time.

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項中(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

(A)

     Boating along the Seine(塞納河) at sunset. Walking hand in hand with your young lover. Dancing at the base of Eiffel Tower under a moonlit sky. It's Paris, the most romantic city in the world, isn't it?

     Not when short-tempered taxi drivers, arrogant(傲慢的) waiters and smelly hack streets burst your fantasy bubble (氣泡).

      Still, France is the most popular tourist destination in the world. A recent report by the International Tourism Market (lTM) est/mates that 76 million people visited France last year. Tourists flock to the capital in search of a romantic dream, but that doesn't mean they find it.

      Vicky Dong, 27, a postgraduate at the London School of Economics, was disappointed by her weekend trip to Paris last year. "It' s not an impressive tourist destination and it's not very clean. A friend of mine stepped in dog shit(屎) on the first day," she said.

      According to Claude Origet du Cluzeau, the author of the lTM study, one-third of French say they can hold a conversation in English but just don't want to. "It's not a language problem, but one of attitude,'' she said. This leads many to think they are just arrogant.

      Christopher Dalby, 25, who is half-French and half-British, has lived in Paris for eight years. When he went to a restaurant with some English friends, a typical American couple walked in wearing floral (花朵的) shirts, with cameras around their necks. They barked at the waiter for a table, and once seated, began knocking their fingers at the menu trying to order.

      The waiter clearly didn't understand and just stared at them coldly. The couple shouted louder and became so angry that they exploded. "Why can't these stupid French understand", they said, then left in disgust.

      Later, Christopher's friend ordered from the same waiter in broken French, who replied in perfect English, "You can order in English you know." When they asked why he had spoken English to them and not to the Americans, he said," You made the effort."

      Those who spend time in the city and engage with its culture fall in love with it.

      Li Ha has lived in Paris for three years studying Networking and Telecomunications at Pierre et Marie Curie University. What does he love about Paris?

      "Maybe it is because of its atmosphere or its character. Paris is a mixture of freedom, civilization, reason and passion--even madness. Why do you find a person attractive? First, it's their appearance, then their personality keeps that attraction burning. I feel the same way about Paris." Li Ha said.

51. The example of the French waiter was cited to show that __   .

     A. The Parisian are arrogant and impolite

     B. The Parisian ruin the nice image of Paris

     C. Paris is no longer a romantic city

     D. Paris is ready to welcome every respectful visitor

52. What is implied in the underlined words "you made the effort" ?

     A. Since you are sincere you deserve my warm and qualified service.

     B. Since you are poor in French I have to speak to you in English.

     C. Since you are an English gentleman I will speak to you in English.

     D. Since you speak French, I will be polite to you.

53. We can safely conclude from the passage that       .

     A. France won't be the most popular tourist place in the near future

     B. Paris can be as romantic as you want it to be with a bit of effort and an open mind

     C. It's time for French people to change their arrogant attitude to the outside world

     D. People from outside world have a strong prejudice on Paris

54. The author's attitude to Paris is generally       .

     A. negative             B. positive          C. critical           D. neutral

(B)

     Don't worry, be happy and, according to a new research, you will also be healthy.

     It is estimated that over the course of one year, Americans suffer 1 billion colds. But a new research shows that all it may take to avoid this common affliction is a positive and upbeat attitude.

     People who are energetic, happy and relaxed are less likely to catch a cold than those who are depressed, nervous or angry, finds a new study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.

     Healthy volunteers first underwent an emotional assessment in which they were asked to rate their tendency to experience positive and negative emotions--how often they felt pleased, relaxed, happy, or anxious, depressed and hostile. Then some little viruses that causes colds were dropped on the volunteers' noses. Researchers then watched the volunteers to see who came down with a cold.

      "We found that people who regularly experience positive emotions, when exposed to rhinovirus, are relatively protected from developing illness," said Dr. Sheldon Cohen, lead author of the study and a psychology professor at Carnegie Mellon University.

      Although positive people showed a greater resistance to colds, negative people did not necessarily get sick more often.

      So how can your emotions influence your health? In simple terms, when the brain is "happy" it sends messages to our organs that help keep the body healthy and sound.

      "It's like a drug that is released by your state of mind and simply changing the state of mind can produce effects on the rest of the body through the nervous system and hormones," said Dr. Neil Shulman, author of Doc Hollywood.  "Your chance of developing the common cold, pneumonia, or even cancer may very well be decreased by keeping your brain in a healthy state."

      In addition, happy and relaxed people are more likely to take better health practices than those are negative and stressed. They more often get plenty of sleep and engage in regular exercise, and have lower levels of certain stress hormones.

      Shulman says the study shows there are some simple things you can do to improve your chances of staying healthy.

      "The take-home message is that we have very healthy ways that we can improve our overall well-being that don't cost money and that don't require a wait in the doctor's office," he said.

55. According to the passage, the underlined word "affliction" is closest in meaning to "     ".

   A. illness          B. medicine              C. pleasure               D. condition

56. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why a happy man stands a slighter chance of catching a cold?

   B. A happy man is more likely to take drugs in time.

   C. A happy man has lower levels of harmful hormones.

   D. A happy man is more likely to do healthy exercises.

57. The proper title for this passage should be __    .

   A. Laziness Is the Root of All Evil

   B. Happiness Lies First of All in Health

   C. The First Wealth Is Health

   D. A Light Heart Lives Long

(C)

      There's something so sweet about a new year. No matter how many times I' ve seen that ball drop, I'm not immune to the excitement that comes with the chance to start over. To change. For as many times as we heard the word in 2008, 2009 is the year to do something about it. The weather outside is unquestionably frightful, but maybe it' s grown dark enough for us to see the silvery opportunities around those gray clouds.

      Late November I was in San Francisco for a book reading. The book, "Submerged", is an anthology(選集) created to benefit survivors of the Gulf Coast hurricanes, to which I'd contributed an essay about my experience helping the homeless in New Orleans.

      I traveled from my home in Santa Barbara about five hours south for the occasion. The evening went well until when I noticed two messages in my cell phone and five missed calls from my husband Ryan. That's not like him. I called him back; he sounded strange.

      The news was horrible. A huge fire had broken out near my house. The Santa Ana winds(魔鬼風(fēng)) was blowing particularly wildly, the whole town was in flames. Ryan phoned to ask what to take from the house for me. In the face of disaster and with no time to prepare, how do I choose'?. What do I take? Within a few minutes all we have may disappear.

      With thoughts of New Orleans stirred up from the book reading, there I sat, on the brink(邊緣) of losing everything. "It's so ironic(諷刺的)," I said to myself.

      I realize those who lost everything are likely feeling anything but calm, anything but comfort. These days people are losing their jobs, their homes. Corporations, industries are going under. Everything we thought was secure isn't. Everything we thought we knew about the economy, security, our very way of life, might be wrong.

      Strangely, during that night in San Francisco, it wasn't panic behind my paralysis(無能為力). It was something closer to its opposite, something more like calm. And beneath it is the comforting realization that nothing is permanent.

      That moment had something to teach me. And maybe the gift of disaster, of floods, of fires, of unprecedented(空前的) economic crisis, is the opportunity to start over- and to do it differently.

59. In the first paragraph, the author wrote about the weather to __    .

     A. show the signs of a coming disaster

     B. show how she was feeling at the time

     C. refer to the present depressing situation

     D. describe what the weather was like before the big fire

60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

     A. Santa Barbara is one of the author's friends.

     B. New Orleans is the city where the author experienced a disaster.

     C. Submerged is the name of a book which was written by the author.

     D. San Francisco is the city where the author stayed during the big fire.

6l. What did the author feel ironic about in the passage?

     A. Her hope for the future.

     B. Her despair after losing everything.

     C. Her husband's panic in face of a disaster.

     D. Her quick transfer from a help giver to the homeless.

62. What does the author intend to tell the readers in this passage?

     A. How serious the situation was in the past year.

     B. Tough as the situation may be, we shouldn't lose heart.

     C. We should feel anything but calm in face of big disasters.

     D. It is understandable that we were frightened in face of such a big crisis.

(D)

      Dickson Despommier, a public health professor at Columbia University in New York City developed an idea with his students nine years ago. They imagined people in cities growing crops inside a tall building. Tomatoes could grow on one floor of the skyscraper, potatoes on the next, small animals and fish on the floor above.

      This vertical(垂直的) farm, or "farmscraper", could have space for restaurants and other places that serve food, like schools or hospitals. They could serve foods that are truly locally grown..

      But why would anyone want to build a farm indoors in a city? Dickson Despommier believes it will become necessary. The world needs to find places to produce enough food to feed the growing population. Space, he says, is an all-important issue.

      The professor also points to the problems of traditional farms. They use a lot of freshwater. Their fertilizer and animal waste can pollute water resources. And their growing seasons can be limited.

      But inside the vertical farm, crops could grow all year. And there would be no wind to blow away soil. Farmers would not have to worry about too much or too little rain, or about hot summers, freezing winters or insects. And without insects there would be no need for chemicals to kill them.

      Farm machines that .use fossil fuels, like tractors, would not be needed either. And water could be recycled for drinking. "The vertical farm reuses everything, so there is no waste," says Professor Despommier.

      Even buildings could be saved. Old buildings could become new farms and provide jobs.

      The professor has been actively proposing the idea to cities as far away as Dubai and Canada. But so far it exists only in plans and drawings, and a model at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

      Critics say building a farmscraper would cost too much, especially considering the price of land in many cities. Dickson Despommier estimates the cost at about twenty to thirty million dollars.

      But he says the building would not have to be very tall. And his graduate students have found many empty lots and unused buildings in New York City that could provide space.

63. According to the passage the purpose of proposing the idea of a farmscraper is to      .

   A. find places to produce enough food      B. serve food that are truly locally grown

   C. prevent polluting the limited land     D. save fresh water

64. Which is one of the advantages of a farmscraper?

   A. It costs less.                         B. It saves labor power.

   C. It consumes too much energy         D. It is more environmentally friendly.

65. Those against the idea of farmscrapers argue that      .

   A. it uses too much land in cities         B. it costs too much to build one

   C. it causes people to lose their jobs             D. it exists only in unrealistic plans

66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

   A. A vertical farm has been built in Chicago.

   B. Old buildings could be changed into new farms.

   C. Traditional farms use less water but pollute more water

   D. There are some vertical farms being put into use in Canada.

      Romantic comedies have long been regarded as the perfect movie for a first date. But according to a study, romantic comedies such as Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill could be bad for your love life.

      Rather than being harmless entertainment, 'rom-corns' give people unrealistic -- and potentially unhealthy -- expectations about real-life relationships, scientists say.

      Researchers found that those who watched romantic comedies were more likely to believe in predestined love (緣份) than those who preferred other kinds of movie.

     They were also more likely to believe that perfect relationships happen instantly, and were less likely to believe that couples need to work at relationships.

      Watching just one romantic comedy is enough to sway people' s attitudes to romanfc love, they found.

      Dr Bjarne Holmes, who led the research, said: "We are not being killjoys -- we are not saying that people shouldn't watch these movies. But we are saying that it would be helpful if people were more aware and more critical of the messages in these films. The problem is that while most of us know that the idea of a perfect relationship is unrealistic, some of us are still more influenced than we realize."

      For the first part of the study, Dr Holmes and colleagues at the Family and Personal Relationships Laboratory at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, studied 40 box office hits from 1995 to 2005.

      Most of those comedies described couples falling instantly in love and promoted the idea of fate --the belief that there is just one perfect companion out there, they found.

      "There's a belief of destiny and couples in romantic comedies immediately understand each other,"said Dr Holmes. "If you think that's how things are, you are setting yourself up to be disappointed."

      In a second study, Dr Holmes asked around 100 student volunteers to watch Serendipity -- the 2001 romantic comedy starring Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack, while 100 watched a David Lynch drama.

      In a questionnaire after the film ended, students watching the rom-com were far more likely to believe in fate and destiny than those who had watched the 'straight' film.

67. According to the passage if you are fond of watching romantic comedies, you ____.

   A. are more likely to believe in future love

   B. are more likely to be influenced by films

   C. may expect a perfect relationship in your love life

   D. may fall instantly in love with one of your classmates

68. The underlined word "destiny" most probably means __     .

   A. fate                  B. love              C. beauty            D. romance

69. The purpose of Dr Bjame Hohnes' research is __     .

   A. to promote the idea of fate

   B. to ask us to keep away from romantic comedies

     C. to show how romantic comedies have influence on our life

     D. to remind us of the negative effect of watching romantic comedies

70. It is implied in the passage that        .

     A. watching comedies is harmful to a stable marriage

     B. it is necessary for couples to work at their relationship

     C. couples falling instantly in love end up with an unhappy marriage

     D. we should watch more 'straight' films instead of romantic comedies
