Experts believe that by theyear 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy 49 of the sea will be largely solved.III. Reading comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four w
30、ords marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. An experiment shows that a type of human behavior is conformity, which may bedefined as a willingness to adopt the same behavior and attitudes as those seen in other people. In order to experience a sen
31、se of belongings to a particular group, an individual may willingly 50 the groups values and behavior. Often, however, an individual will conform to the behavior of those around him even when they are total 51 . It seems that many human beings dont like to 52 in a crowd or seem to be different from
32、those around them, andthey have a strong 53 to conform to the behavior of other people simply to avoid makingthemselves 54 . People will also avoid becoming 55 a situation if they can shrug off their responsibility by 56 that someone else will do something. When an apparent murder took place outside
33、 a block of flats in New York,residents must have 57 or seen something, yet there was no 58 to the police and noone came out to help or investigate. Another 59 showed that some people will change their opinion in order to conform to the majority 60 . A group of people were shown a picture of a serie

37、tfully C. accept D. call D. description D. agreementD. alike D. considering D. clearly D. suppose Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fi
38、ts best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) I made a pledge (发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. Fortwo weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a
39、talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And
40、it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse
41、, but then I thought, “Evelyns been alone here with the kids all week andnow she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew theirkites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate mu
42、seums. Relaxed and happy, thats how the wholevacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at mew
43、ith saddest expression. “Whats the matter?” I asked her. “Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I dont?” “What do you mean?” “Well that checkup I had several weeks ago our doctor did he tell you somethingabout me? Tom, youve been so good to me am I dying?” It took a
44、moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “Youre not dying; Im just starting to live.” 65. In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably mean _. A. unnecessarily B. unconditionally C. impossibly D. unexpectedly 66. From the story
45、we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _. A. alone B. with his family C. with Evelyn D. with his children 67. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _. A. she looked lovely in her new clothes C. he was determined to be a good husbandWall Street B. she w
46、as seriously ill D. he had made a lot of money in 68. By saying “Im just starting to live,” Tom means that _.

55、. ( C ) Intel chairman Andy Grove has decided to cut the Gordian knot of the dispute on stemcell (干细胞) research by simply writing a check. The check, which he guaranteed lastweek, could be for as much as 55 million, depending on how many donors make giftsof between 550,000 and 5,500,000, which he ha
56、s promised to match. It will be madeout to the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF).Thanks in part to such private donations, university research into uses for humanstem cells, the cells at the earliest stages of development that can form any body part, will continue in California. With pri
57、vate financial support, the state willbe less likely to lose talented scientists who would be tempted to leave the field or even leave the country as research dependent on federal (联邦政府的)money slowsto glacial (极慢的) pace. Held back by limits President Bush placed on stem cell research a year ago, sci
58、entistsare turning to labs that can carry out work without using federal money. This is awkwardfor universities, which must spend extra money building separate labs and keepingstrict records proving no federal funds were involved. Groves donation, a first steptoward a $20 million target at UCSF, wil
59、l relieve the burden.The presidents decision a year ago to allow research on already existing stem cell lines was portrayed as a reasonable compromise (折中办法) between scientists needsfor cells to work with, and concerns that this kind of research could lead to wholesale creation and destruction of hu
60、man embryos ( 胚胎 ), cloned infants and a general disrespect for human life.But Bushs effort to please both sides ended up pleasing neither. And it certainlydidnt provide the basis for cutting edge research. Of the 78 existing stem cell lineswhich Bush said are all that science would ever need, only
61、one is in this country(at the University of Wisconsin) and only five are ready for distribution toresearchers. All were grown in conjunction with mouse cells, making future therapeutic ( 治疗的 ) uses unlikely.The Bush administration seems bent on satisfying the small but vocal (直言不讳的)group of American
62、s who oppose stem cell research under any conditions. Fortunately,Groye and others are more interested in advancing scientific research that couldbenefit the large number of Americans who suffer from Parkinsons disease, nerveinjuries, heart diseases and many other problems.72. When Andy Grove decide
63、d to cut the Gordian knot, he meant to_. A. put an end to stem cell research B. end Intels relations with GordianC. settle the argument on stem cell researchD. prohibit Gordian from doing stem cell research 73. According to Bushs decision, American universities had to_ .A. conduct the research in la
64、bs overseas B. abandon the research altogetherC. carry out the research secretly D. raise money to build separate labs 74. We may infer from the passage that future therapeutic uses of stem cells willbe unlikely unless_.A. human stem cells are used in the researchB. a lot more private donations can
65、be secured C. more federal money is used for the research D. talented scientists are involved in the research75. The reason why Bush placed limits on stem cell research was that_.A. his administration was financially limitedB. he did not want to offend its opponentsC. it might lead to a disrespect f
66、or human life D. it did not promise any therapeutic valueSection C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. Contract signed to experiment with captions (文字说明) B. Peoples attitude toward c
67、aptions C. Captions good news to deaf people D. Deaf people missing most of the fun E. Invention of a new machine dealing with signals F. Necessity of developing a new way of captioning 76. By the 1950s many American families owned television sets. During televisions first 20 years, deaf people miss
68、ed most of the fun. They could not hear what was being said andhad to guess. Deaf people who watched television liked sports and action shows, but theywere disappointed with other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldnt follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip-readers could
69、only catch part of the talking. Thisfrustrated many deaf people. 77. In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for theprograms. Norwood worked for the federal governments Media Services
70、and CaptionedFilms Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped. 78. Norwood surveyed many hearing Americans. He wanted to see how they felt aboutseeing captions on the television screen. Too many people were against the idea. Norwoodrealized he had to develop another way of captioning-one
71、 that would not bother hearingpeople. 79. In October of 1971, Norwoods office signed a contract with WGBH-TV, a publictelevision station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shownon televi
72、sion and at a special convention. The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called “open captions”. 80. Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a specialpart of the television picture. The signals
73、 could be captions. If a family had another kind ofmachine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions (or signals) would appear on theirtelevision screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the signals transmitted from the t
74、elevision station. Captions that require a decoder are called “closed captions”.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete thestatements in the fewest possible words. It was the end of my exhausting first day as waitress in a busy New Yorkrestaurant. My ca
75、p had gone awry(歪), my apron was stained, my feet ached. The loaded trays I carried felt heavier and heavier. Weary and discouraged, I didnt seem able to do anything right. As I made out a complicated check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was
76、 ready to quit. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said. “Youve looked after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness was gone. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how Id liked my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everyth
77、ing. Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why one word can bring such pleasure? A friend
78、 of mine who travels widely always tries to learn a little of the language of any place she visits. Shes not much of alinguist, but she does know how to say one word “beautiful” in several languages. She can use it to a mother holding her baby, or to lonely salesman fishing out pictures of his famil
79、y. The ability has earned her friends all over the world. Praise is particularly appreciated by those doing routine jobs: gas-station attendants, waitresses even housewives. Do you ever go into a house and say, “What a tidy room?” Hardly anybody does. Thats why housework is considered such a dreary
80、grind (枯燥的工作). Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.” Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives, surely she of all people should get her measure. So, lets be alert to the small excellences around us and comment on them. Wewill not only bring joy into other peoples lives, bu
81、t also, very often, added happinessinto our own. （Note： Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.） 81. The author suddenly felt light-hearted because _. 82. In Paragraph 5, the writers friend learned how to say “beautiful” in several languages inorder to _.83. “Ou
82、r praises are our wages.” in Paragraph 6 means _. 84. Whats the main purpose of the text? _. 第II卷 （45分）I.

93、cide which one would be the best answer to the questionyou have heard. Questions 11 and 13 are based on the following passage. In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps firemen. The computer contains informationabout every one of the 350,000 street addresses in the city. When firemen answer acall,
94、the computer gives them important information about the burning building. Thecomputer can give the location of the building and its size, type, and contents. Infact, the computer system has many different ways of helping fire fighters with theirproblems. For example, it can give medical information
95、about sick people living ina burning building. With this information, the firemen can take special care to find these sick persons and remove them quickly and safely from the burning building.The speed of the computer is amazing. Within two or three seconds after a call isreceived, the computer prov
96、ides necessary information for the firemen. The information is then sent to them by radio from the computer center in City Hall.The Kansas City computer system also contains a medical record of each of the citys 900 firemen. This kind of information is especially useful when a fire fighter isinjured
97、. With this medical information, doctors at the hospital can treat the injuredfiremen more quickly and easily. Kansas City firemen themselves are thankful for the computers help. The computertells them about possible dangers ahead of them and helps them prepare for them. Manytimes the computer infor
98、mation helps to save lives and property. Sometimes the livesare those of firemen themselves! (Now listen again, please.)Questions:11. What is the main idea of this passage?12. Why does the computer contain medical records of each fireman? 13. How does the computer help firemen?Questions 14 through 1
99、6 are based on the following news. The trouble with my dad is that hes too energetic! His idea is to walk twenty kilometers a day, up and down mountains. Anduntil last yearmy mum and I had to go with him. “This is fun, isnt it?” he used to say every five kilometers. We groaned and sighed but we neve
100、r actually protested.Then, Last May, my mum suddenly said one evening, “Were not going walking again this year, are we?” And I added, “Why dont we go to the sea side for a change?That would be fun, wouldnt it?” My dad was surprised and a bit hurt I think, buthe didnt say anything.For the next two mo
101、nths my mum talked about nothing else. “Itll be lovely on thebeach, wont it?” she kept saying.Then, in August, we went to Bournemouth together. For the first two days we lay onthe beach and were quite happy. My mum said, over and over again, “Its nice here,isnt it?” My dad didnt say anything.Two day
