第三节：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

  The easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work, I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to. enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside,  saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the window to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The  hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. It looked like some unknown being from outer space I could see why Doug was so shaken. I had to admit what the "living thing" was and why it was there. I don't see who was more embarrassed (尴尬) by the whole thing -- Doug or me.  (Words: 355)

    B  Napoleon was the master of Europe. He wanted to be the master of the world. But he had to first win England, and to win England he had to cross the English Channel in force. If only he had ships that could ignore wind and current and tide and out-travel the British war ship.

    Just at that time, there came to his court a shaggy-haired American inventor, Robert Fulton by name. Fulton had invented a way of propelling (驱动) ships by steam instead of sails.

    He had also worked out a submarine torpedo boat (鱼雷潜艇). He made successful test of both these inventions, to the satisfaction of Napoleon's most doubting naval(海军的) experts.

    The problem was solved.  It was Napoleon's God-given chance.  He wanted very much to try Fulton's idea. Then he decided against it.

If Fulton's invention should fail, Napoleon was afraid that he would be the laughing-stock of Europe. He could not afford to be laughed at. So he refused to pay the price of a laugh, and incidentally, he threw away world conquest.   ( Words: 271 )

 60. From the first paragraph we can see that Napoleon's final aim was to

     A. cross the English Channel and be king of England

C. To be master of Europe.                  

D. To make some inventions.

    62. At first the naval experts of Napoleon

A.   did not believe Robert Fulton             

B.   thought nothing of Fulton's inventions

C. were surprised at Fulton's inventions       

D. were angry with Fulton's inventions

63. Which of the following is true?

     A. Robert Fulton made successful tests in one of his inventions.

     B. Napoleon threw away world conquest on purpose(故意).

     C．Napoleon was afraid he would be laughed at if he failed.

     D. Robert Fulton had a good appearance to other people.

                                C

    Scientists would like to place a huge mirror in place a huge mirror in space above earth. It might be sixty miles wide. It would be used to catch the rays of the sun.

                             It would direct the sun's rays upon the earth as a child might do to make sunlight dance on the wall with a hand mirror,

     Why do they want to do this? The sun's rays could be helpful in many ways. They could cities by night. The warm rays could stop frosts, which might come at night and hurt fruit crops. They could melt dangerous icebergs in the ocean. Perhaps they could change cloud movements and bring rain where it is needed.

64. The huge mirror would____________.

    A. stand 60 miles in height

    B. be 60 miles from side to side

C. cover 60 miles of the earth

  D. be 60 miles above the earth

Why isn' t a dollar worth as much as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists(经济学家) say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities(必需品) of life such as food ,

housing or rent, clothes, and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it.

  No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing, but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so they demand more goods. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there is a shortapes of goods, the prices also go up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies hold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up.

Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people plan a family budget (预算). A budget is a list of monthly expenses. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you' re spending too much on entertainment. Or if you' re spending too much on clothes, you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.

68. Why can' t a dollar buy as much as it used to 9

 A The cost of living is not so high as before.

 B The dollar isn' t worth the same amount.

 C The value of the dollar has decreased.

 D Not mentioned in the passage.

69.__________ determines the value of the dollar.

 A . The government                B. The cost of living

 C.  The economist                 D. The bank

70. Why does the cost of living keep increasing?

 A There are always shortage of goods.

 B The workers are getting lower and lower pay.

 C We don't know.

 D People demand more and better goods.

71. Which of the following is TRUE 9

 A House wives needn' t know anything happening to the market.

 B People are most concerned about the value of money.

 C There seems no need for everyone to know about the rising cost of living.

 D The prices will go up if more goods are produced.

"What we want is rest," said Harris. " Rest and a complete change," said George, "Change of scene, and no  need to think about anything. "

I agreed with George, and suggested we should look for some quiet place  far from crowds and the noisy world.

Harris said he thought it would be terrible. He said he knew the kind of  place I meant; where everybody went to bed at eight o' clock, and you couldn' t get an Evening News for love or money, and had to walk ten miles to   the nearest cinema. "No," he said, "If you want rest and a change, you had   better take a sea trip. "

I was strongly against a sea trip. A sea trip does you good when you are   going to have a couple of months of it, but for a week, it is pointless.

George said. "Let' s go up the river. " He said we should have fresh air   and rest. the constant change of scene would broaden our minds, and the hard   work would give a good appetite (食欲) and make us sleep well. Harris said he didn't think George ought to do anything that might make him sleepier than he already was but all the same he agreed the river would suit (适合) him, Harris, perfectly. It suited me too and we therefore decided to go up the river.

72. George' s idea of rest and a complete change is ______.

    A having nothing on his mind

    B not having any worries in life

    C relaxing in new places

    D not thinking about new scene

73. When Harris said, "You couldn' t get an Evening News for love or money," he meant "you couldn't get a paper ________.

   A  by any means

   B  for its selling price

   C  simply to read love or money

   D  as a kindness

74. When Harris also said, "One had to walk ten miles to the nearest cinema. " He meant

  A  there was no cinema ten miles round

  B  the nearest cinema was about ten miles away

  C  the nearest cinema was too far away for him

  D  there wasn't a cinema, even ten miles away

75. When the writer said it was pointless to go on a sea trip for a week, he meant_________.

 A it was a pleasure to have nothing to do for a week

 B a week was too short

 C it was better than going for two months

 D you did not go to a certain place

第五节:  Dear friends,

How can we learn English well? This is a problem we often think of. At first I thought that the most important thing in learning English was to memorize new words and English grammar. So my English used to be very poor. When our teacher found out my problem, he suggested that I pay attention to idioms and useful expressions. He told me that we could only learn English well by using it--- reading, listening, speaking and writing as much as possible. I followed his advice and since then my English has been greatly improved. In the latest English contest, I took the first place.

   I have made up my mind to work still harder at my English so as to master the language and serve our country better in the future.

More than 200 people, mostly middle-school students and workers at a Nearby construction side, fell violently ill after eating breakfast from a soy­bean milk shop on Saturday in Nanjing, and several dozens died.

The shop supplies breakfast to the nearby boarding middle school, as well as selling food to walk-in customers. Although it was the weekend many students were taking additional courses, and boarders stayed on the campus.

The victims were sent to 10 local hospitals for emergency treatment. "It is re­ally unbearable to see the young children dying right before my eyes and their parents crying desperately," said one doctor at the rescue site. Another doctor said that conditions of most patients were basically stable.

A father of a victim said that his daughter bought two rile cakes and ate most of them on her way to school. Soon she felt sick and collapsed. "Lucki­ly, she vomited the stuff out on the way to hospital. So the doctors said she was not among the seriously poisoned, "the father said.

More than 500 medical specialists are helping in the rescue work and Public Security authorities are still looking into the case.
