31、III.阅读理解AI was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I searched in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked th
32、rough the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently（不经意地）locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I dont know why I d
33、id that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didnt want to, but my smil
34、e leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile. I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. “Do
35、you have kids?” he asked.“ Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that Id never see my family again,
36、 never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back tow
37、ard the town.“My life was saved by a smile.” Yes, the smile the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldnt be enemies. We couldnt have hate or envy or fear! 56. Why did the author smil
38、ed to the jailer first?A. Because he wanted to make friends with the jailer.B. The reason was unknown to him and us.C. Because he wanted to share the cigarette with the jailer.D.

42、, and feel nothing?When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son s head. I was asked, When do you stop worrying? A nurse said, When they get out of the accident stage. My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.When I was in my thir
43、ties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly, disrupted (打断) the class, and was headed for a career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a teacher said, Dont worry. They all go through this stage, and then you can sit back, relax, and enjo
44、y them. My mother listened and said nothing.When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home, the front door to open.My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunt
45、ed by my mother s wan ( 淡淡的 ) smile and her occasional words, You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home.Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the
46、unknown? Is concern a curse? Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?One of my children became quite irritable recently, saying to me, Where were you?

50、.D. parents will worry about their children all their lives.CChinese students arent the only ones who have a sleep loss problem. In Australia, teenagers are also missing, on average, one hours sleep every night during the school week.Organized activities and homework push bedtimes later, the first l
51、arge-scale Australian study of childrens sleeping habits has shown. Their sleep deprivation (剥夺) is enough to cause “serious drop-offs in school performance, attention and memory”, and governments should consider later or flexible school start times, said the studys leader, Tim Olds.His survey, of m
52、ore than 4,000 children aged 9 to 18, found those who slept least did not watch more television but spent their time socializing (相处) with family or friends or listening to music.“Almost all children get up at 7 or 7:15 they have to get to school on time,” said Olds. He favors a later start over an
53、earlier finish because he believes organized sports and activities would still consume the latter end of the day.Olds research also establishes lack of sleep as a cause of weight gain in children, and a possible source of future problems with depression, anxiety and increased susceptibility (易感性) to
54、 illness. It was already known that overweight children sleep less, but Professor Olds found sleep duration(时长) was strongly linked to weight across the full range of body sizes. The thinnest children sleep 20 minutes more than the obese. This showed being overweight had no specific effect on sleep
55、patterns, and it was more likely that shorter sleep times stimulate (刺激) appetite and make kids hungry. The US National Sleep Foundation says teenagers aged 13 to 18 need eight to nine hours sleep a night. Younger school-aged kids need 9 to 11 hours.On that basis, Professor Olds said, half of Austra
56、lian children are under-sleeping on weekdays and a quarter on weekends.64.The Australian students surveyed dont sleep enough because they spend more time on the following EXCEPT _.A. watching television programsB. organized activities and homeworkC. enjoying music D. communication with friends and f
57、amily65. What effects does lack of sleep directly have on the students according to the survey? A. They become overweight but begin to eat less than before. B. They feel more depressed and anxious about their school work. C. They are more likely to be affected with illness in the future. D. They pay
58、 less attention in class and their memory declines.66. Which of the following suggestions did Mr. Olds make? A. The school should finish earlier in the afternoon. B. The students should go to bed earlier to have longer sleeping time. C. The students should participate less in organized activities. D
59、. The school should put off the start time in the morning. 67. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Being overweight has an effect on the length of the sleeping time. B. More students are short of sleep on weekends than on weekdays. C. Australian students usually take part in activities in
60、the afternoon. D. The survey suggests that teenagers need 9-11 hours sleep a night.DCustom tattooed fish (纹身鱼) may be big sellers at markets, but an animal expert say it is a cruel and potentially lethal practice.In Laitai Flower and Fish Market near the Lufthansa Center in Beijing, four of over 20
61、fish stores sell marine ornamental fish that are tattooed using laser (激光) guns with beautiful images in order to make them more attractive to customers. Many people just love these kinds of fish, which gives them a unique visual impression. The price of these fish ranges from 50-100 yuan. Some cust
62、omers are willing to pay an additional 100 yuan to have Chinese characters tattooed on to the fish. The most popular characters are “zhaocai” (attracting fortune) and “fu” (blessing).The color of tattooed fish wont fade away, and the fish can be cared for as regular fishes: But Ye Zhenjiang, a profe
63、ssor from the Ocean University of China, said “the practice would damage a fishs mackerel scale, which is its protective layer Although I havent done any research on the impact of the laser on mackerel scale, it is obvious that the mackerel scale may be infected or even destroyed under the exposure
64、of laser,” Ye said. “Its like tattooing a human beings body, and it breaks the physiological balance of the fish and damages: the skins protective surface, It may even cause death among fishes which have thin mackerel scale.”A specialist in aquatic(永生的) animal study surnamed Xu， from the Beijing Fis
65、heries Research Institute, said, “We have no specific regulations to prevent fish from being tattooed. An official surnamed Bai from the Fishery Surveillance and Administration Bureau(FSAB), said there is no study showing that the laser threatened a fishs health. He said a regulation on small animal
66、 protection, to be passed in the near future, doesnt include regular aquatic animals. He said the institution is only responsible for aquatic animals that are on the verge of extinction. He said tattooed fish are mainly from south Chinas Guangdong province because Beijing does not have the laser tec
67、hnology to tattoo a fish.“Its too brutal to tattoo pictures or characters on fishes, even if it makes them more beautiful,” many tropical fish buyers told METRO yesterday. “We would never buy fish like that and we prefer them with natural beauty.”68. Which of the following is NOT true according to t
68、he text?A. Tattooed fish can be harder to raise.B. Tattooed fish give people a unique visual impressionC. Tattooed fish look more attractive to customers.D. The color of tattooed fish will stay for ever69. From Ye Zhenjiangs talk, we know that _.A. It is illegal to tattoo fish by laser.B. It may be
69、a disaster for fish to be tattooed.C. People can tattoo fish in other parts except mackerel scaleD. The mackerel scale of fish is easy to destroy.70. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. .Beijing did not have the laser technology to tattoo a fish.B. The FSAB will pass a regulation on tattoo
70、ed fish.C. The price of tattooed fish is much higher than that of regular fishD. The youth would buy tattooed fish the moment they see them.IV.任务型填空The word science is heard so often in modern times that almost everybody has an idea of its meaning. However, its definition is difficult for many peopl
71、e. The meaning of the term is confusing, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives (目标). Just to make the explanation as simple as possible,suppose science is defined as classified knowledge or facts.Even in the true science, distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For t
72、his reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses(假设) and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist
73、continues to experiment and observe until they are proved or discredited. The exact status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and later the understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that s
74、ecrets exist in nature of that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end, specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy.Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisf
75、ying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. However, one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to come before the discovery of the cell. The
76、host of scientists devoting their lives to pure science are not apologetic about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes-for instance, improving health, raising s
77、tandards of living, or creating new consumer products. In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.The (71) of science(72) _ of science To define science, we may (73) call it classified knowledge or facts. It is essential, though not (74) , for u
78、s to distinguish fact from fiction.Objectives of scienceScience is (75) _ at discovering and understanding the unknown.Two basic (76) _to new discoveryPure scienceScientists, who may be blamed for (77) _ the practical side of their work, make discoveries out of (78)_ .

85、ing Festival Gala has set records for TV commercial rates, which accordingly has caused heated discussions due to product placement in the programmes.As is shown in the pie chart, 20% of the people surveyed think it acceptable, for the product placement appears in the programmes naturally. And 15% o
86、f them consider it necessary for CCTV to make money from product placement, which is of great benefit to the development of CCTV itself.However, among the people surveyed, more than one third of them complain that the product placement has nothing to do with the programmes. 25% of them even feel hur
87、t seeing so much of it. Furthermore, the rest 10% hold the view that great harm has been done to the image of CCTV.From the chart we can draw a conclusion that most of the people surveyed are against product placement in the programmes. In my opinion, product placement nowadays is almost unavoidable, but it should not damage the art of the show and should take the audiences feelings into account. (151 words)
