44、rules made by governments. They keep peace and create order. _46_ people break laws, their governments punish them. Long ago, people lived only in small tribal groups. They lived together, followed the same _47_, and worshipped the same gods. There were no formal laws. _48_, people were guided by th
45、eir customs, morals, and religion.Over time, cities began to form. Laws became more formal and were written down in legal codes. In about 1750 BC, the king of Babylon _49_ one of the first legal codes, the Code of Hammurabi. It listed certain crimes and told how they should be punished. The ancient
46、Romans helped shape our modern view of law. In the 600s BC, citizens of Rome wrote down all of their basic laws on twelve bronze tablets. The Romans declared that no citizen, _50_ the ruler, was above the law. Modern law codes are rooted in the Roman system. Such law codes are statutory, meaning the
47、y are created and changed by legislatures, not by courts. Another system of law _51_ later in England. Before the 12th century AD., each part of England had its own rules and customs. From the 12th century onward, England became a single nation. The courts of the land made sure people _52_ a common
48、set of customsthe English common law.Unlike the Roman system of law, the common law was never written down in one place. Instead, the courts made decisions about the law _53_ earlier court decisions. Those decisions are called examples. Each case must be decided in the same way as earlier cases. But

In some societies, dancing often _60_ trance (心醉神迷的状态)or other changed states of consciousness. These states
53、 can be _61_ as signaling possession by spirits, or they may be sought as a means to emotional _62_. A state of trance may enable people to perform remarkable feats of strength, endurance, or _63_, such as dancing through hot coals. In some societies shamans (道士) dance in trance in order to heal oth

It includes both the 57 learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of learning out of class. 58 the experience of schooling can
57、 be known in advance, education quite often produces surprises. A chance talk with a 59 may lead to a person to discover how 60 he knows of another country. People obtain education from babies on. Education, _61 , is a very broad and unlimited term. It is lifelong experience that starts long before
58、the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of ones entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a basic experience, whose style changes 62 from one way to the next.

94、 said that the traits (特征) must come from units of heredity (遗传)passed from the parent plants. These units were called genes.In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that p
95、roblems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseasesdiseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by altering genes through a process called gene therapy.68. If ones father has
96、 blue eyes, while his mother has grey ones, _.A. their son will have blue eyes. B. Their son is sure to have grey eyes.C. their sons eyes will share both that of fathers and mothers.D. It is probably their son will have either blue eyes or grey ones.69. Which is the correct from large to small?A. ge

Gregor Mendel was an expert in plantsC. Gregor Mendel did a lot of experiments with pea plantsD. Something that ha
98、ppened to an Austrian monk71. In the last sentence, the word altering can best be replaced by _.A. changingB. preservingD. deserving D. digesting (3)In 2002, the Beijing Municipal government led the nation in issuing an order banning electric bicycles from January 1, 2006. Since then a number of loc
99、al governments have followed suit. In May, the Legislature of Zhuhai in South Chinas Guangdong Province became the first law-making body in the country to pass a regulation to keep electric bicycles off the roads. They claim environmental disadvantage and concerns over public safety justify their ba
100、n. Local government officials and law makers have argued their leading concern is the threat of pollution from spent lead-acid batteries. The relatively high speed of electric bicycles-faster than most common bikes at about 20 kilometers per hour - is just too dangerous in the eyes of some policy-ma
101、kers. They also mention interference with automobiles, common bikes and passers-by that results in accidents or slowed traffic. But none of these arguments justify the ban. In the first place, it should be made clear that while operating, the battery driving an electric bike sends out almost no poll
102、uting gas. They are much cleaner than cars. If the batteries, which can be used for one or two years, are thrown away without proper treatment or recycling, environmental damage is highly likely. It is required that electric bike producers and store sellers sign recycling contracts to ensure consume
103、rs can sell used batteries back to producers. In practice, some small producers neglect their recycling responsibility, causing concern for environmental pollution. It is clear the authorities can solve the problem through strengthening management. Although it will require some extra efforts from th
104、e government, it does not go beyond government officials call of duty. Regarding the speed, there are technical standards governing the production of electric bikes. According to the standards, the designed speed should be limited to a maximum of 20 kilometers per hour. This is slower than the top s
105、peed of some mountain bikes. To cater to the consumer desire for higher speed, some manufacturers have made it easy to remove speed-limiting devices after purchase, which is potentially very dangerous.To make the bicycles safer, local governments should draft regulations specifying severe punishment
106、s for rule-breakers. The black sheep should be picked up and punished, but violations by a small number of manufacturers or riders should not be an excuse to spoil the fun for everyone.72. What is the authors attitude towards banning electric bicycles？A . Positive B. Negative C. NeutralD. Not mentio
107、ned73. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Beijing will be the first city in China to ban electric bicycles starting this year.B. Zhuhai rather than Beijing is the first to make law to forbidden the use of electric bicycle.C. More than one local government has decided to b
108、an the use of electric bicycles.D. Shanghai is not one of the cities, which have determined to ban electric bicycles.74. In the last paragraph but one, the sentence To cater to the consumer desire for higher speed,. the underlined phrase can best be replaced by _.A. satisfyB. delayC. promoteD. haste
109、75. Which of the following is not considered to be a disadvantage by those who want to ban electric bicycles?A. The used batteries will pollute the environment.B. The dangerous speed.C. More accidents and slow trafficD. Some producers neglect their recycling responsibility(4)Scientists estimate that
110、 more than 60 percent of cancer deaths in the United States are preventable through lifestyle changes. Although there is no certain way to avoid all cancers, reducing individual risk factors significantly decreases the likelihood of getting many forms of this dangerous disease. The American Chemical
111、 Society estimates that smoking causes nearly 30 percent of all cancer deaths in the United Statesthat is, about 166,000 cancer deaths each year. All cancer deaths caused by tobacco smoking could be prevented completely by not smoking and not using smokeless tobacco. For those who already smoke, qui
112、tting will reduce the risk of developing cancer. Studies show that after about ten years of not smoking, a past smokers risk lowers to about the level of those who have never smoked.After quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet is the best way to lower the risk of cancer. Certain foods have been fou
113、nd to protect against cancer. Among these foods are broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, soy products, and foods high in vitamins A, C, and E. In addition, green and possibly black teas contain compounds that protect the body from cancer-causing substance. To lower cancer risk, diets should inc
114、lude little or no red meat. Other foods to avoid or consume in moderation include sugar, saturated fat from animal products, and salt. Added fats and oils should come from vegetables, such as olives or corn, rather than from animal sources. Carbohydrates (碳水化合物) should come from whole grains, such a
115、s brown rice and whole wheat bread, rather than from processed foods, such as white rice and white bread. The risk of cancer of the esophagus (食道) increases with heavy alcohol consumption, and many studies suggest that consuming alcoholic drinks increases the risk of breast cancer as well. Studies s
116、how that limiting intake to two drinks a day for men, and one drink per day for women, reduces cancer risk.Low levels of physical activity have been implicated in colon（肠道) cancer. Moderate activity for 30 minutes a day enhances the immune system, shortens the time food takes to move through the int
117、estines (肠), and changes body composition and hormone levels. Researchers are studying how these effects might lower cancer risk. 76. Which do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyle and diseaseB. Tips for cancer preventionC. Causes of cancersD. How do we remain healthy?77. Which o
118、f the following is true according to the author?A. Chances for those who have quitted smoking and have remained non-smokers for 10 years to get cancer are the same as those who have never smoked.B. Once a smoker has stopped smoking, there is almost no chance of getting such a disease as cancer.C. A
119、balanced diet is absolutely effective in preventing one from getting cancer.D. A person drinking tea regularly will not be likely to suffer from cancer.78. What kind of people increase their chances of getting cancers?A. Their food contains less sugar, animal fat, and salt.B. One who is not moderate
120、 in drinking and eating.C. Those who drink regularly and enjoy doing so with their families.D. Those whose diet contains but a little red meat and not a little fruit.79. The last paragraph implies that _.A. Foods staying in ones body for too long a time might be related to a kind of cancer.B. Exerci

Plenty of physical exercise is most important for one to remain healthy.(5)Robert Kohout, 39, was working outside his home last October when he heard a frightening noise. He turned round and saw Walter
122、 Grahams car sinking into 8 feet of water of the inground swimming pool a little distance away from his yard. Kohout immediately called to Grahams wife, Evelyn, to phone 911. Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help, who were at work inside the house. “There was no
123、 time for second thoughts,” said Reif, a farmers son. “The only thing to do is to get in the pool.”The car doors were locked. Graham, 73, was unconscious, and his mercury was rapidly filling with water. Reif struggled to break the drivers side window with a hammer but had trouble getting it done und
124、erwater.Finally, some four minutes after the car had fallen into the pool, the glass was broken. By then, Graham was floating at the top of the flooded passenger compartment.The three men pulled Graham out through the broken glass. He wasnt breathing and his heart stopped beating, so they performed
125、mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The rescue team arrived in no time. Doctors supplied him with advanced life support on the way to the hospital.“These people were getting to Graham through the glass,” said Dr. Jeff. “ All three acted without regard for their own safety.” Added Evelyn Graham, “ they wer
126、e truly angels, watching over us”65. Who may Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo most probably be?A. Workmen B. Policemen C. Walters wife and son D. Roberts wife and son66. In the third paragraph, mercury referred to _.A. the old mans car B. another workmanC. one of the mans car D. a kind of machine67.Wh

Safety First(6)As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend in the US continues to grow.“we needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didnt have enough money to buy
129、it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their fu
130、rniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $520. “ I was deeply upset about it. Now I have finished a car repair course, I should be able to
131、 fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-youselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who dont have time to take a course, th
132、ere are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.69. We can learn from the text that many newly married people_. A. find it hard to pay for what they needB. have to learn to make their own furnitureC. take DIY courses run by the governmentD. seldom go to a department store to buy things70.
133、 John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to _. A. run a DIY shop B. make or repair thingsC. save time and money D. improve the quality of life71. Jim decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when_ A. his car repairs cost too much B. the car repair class was not helpfulC. he could not poss

135、ews more democratic, giving the public a chance to ask question and seek facts behind stories and candidates, according to the head of the largest US on-line service.“But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future,” Steven Case, Chairman of America On-line, told at a rece
136、nt meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by the Freedom Forum. However, some other experts often say the new technology of computers is changing the face of journalism, giving reporters access to more information and their readers a chance to ask questions and turn to different sources.“Y
137、ou dont have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four corners of that paper any more”, Sam Meddis, on-line technology editor at USA Today, observed about the variety of information available to computer users.But the experts noted the easy access to the Internet also means anyone can post info
138、rmation for others to see. “Anyone can say anything they want, whether its right or wrong,” said Case, “Readers have to determine for themselves who to trust.”“In a world of almost infinite voices, respected journalists and respected brand names will probably become more important, not less.” Case s
139、aid.“The Internet today is about where radio was 80 years ago, or television 50 years ago,” he said. But it is growing rapidly because it provides people fast access to news and a chance to comment on it.73. The main topic of this passage is_. A. the development of journalismB. the rapid development
140、 of the InternetC. the effect the Internet has on journalismD. the advantage of the Internet74. It can be inferred from this passage that the fact that _ may NOT be regarded as an advantage of the Internet.

The greatest potential of public participation of the Internet is in the future(8)You would like to take good photographs of real-life situations but you have few ideas for pictures. I suggest you look around you. The everyday world is full of scenes being played
143、 by an ever-changing group of actors. You probably passed a dozen picture situations without noticing on your way to work this morning. The realistic approach to photograph has been perfected in the past by such maters as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Bill Brandt. But while you can learn a great deal fr
144、om looking at the work of others, any success you can hope to achieve in this field has to come from developing an individual approach. The main requirement for any photographer has little to do with technical matters. You must develop an awareness of the world around you and the people who live in
145、it, and you should learn to notice when a situation may develop to a point where you will be able to take a good picture. Those who have reached this happy state will be prepared when that moment comes, and will simply raise their camera quickly and shoot. Others who are not so aware will be struggl
146、ing with camera cases and lens caps. Film manufactures must be delighted at the thought of the inexperienced photographer setting out in search of the right situation and the right moment. Many miles of costly material have passed through thousands of cameras as this endless search continues. But al
147、though a lot of this waste must be put down to inexperience, youll find that even the professionals have to use a lot of film when they are out shooting. Not every shot is going to be a winner. If you look at the work of even the best photographers, youll notice dozens of pictures have had to be tak
148、en only because they lead up to the successful shot of a situation that the photographer has obviously been observing through the lens. You may find that you have taken one or two pictures after the right moment has passed as well. There is seldom more than one shot which stands out. There is just o
149、ne point where it all comes together, and you often have to waste film to catch that precious moment. 76. According to the passage, one can become a better real-life photographer by _. A. watching other photographers at work B. learning about famous photographers C. just taking a great many photogra
150、phs D. developing skills and ideas for yourself 77. The writer thinks that a photographer is required to _. A. go out and search for unusual situations B. be highly skilled in camera techniques C. be able to tell when a good situation might come D. have a camera which is easy and quick to use 78. Mo
151、st likely, to catch the right moment, one must _. A. take pictures without too much preparation B. take a whole series of similar pictures C. take great care to set up the situation D. take one picture just at the right moment 79. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The waste of film in photography i
152、s essential to the production of good pictures. B. Film manufacturers usually enjoy pictures by inexperienced photographers.C. Only amateur photographers waste film in taking pictures.D. The waste of film, which is the result of poor choice of subject, is expensive and unnecessary( 9 ) Computers are
153、 listeningDont bother with button, keyboard and mice（鼠标）. The smartest way to tell a machine what to do may be right under your nose: your mouse.Nearly everyone can talk, but not everyone can type, push a button or move a mouse. Sometimes people dont know how. Sometimes they cant. Now some computers
154、 understand what people say.What is speech recognition?These computers recognize speech much the same way that people do. First, a microphone turns speech into electrical signals. These signals are matched against possible words. The computer then uses language rules about word placement（安排）to help
155、choose the correct message.Speech recognition is already in use.Some mobile（移动）phones dial on command. They only need to be told the number or name.Need to get up early tomorrow? You can call your electronic clock radio on the phone and say “Turn on at 6:30 a.m.” and command the lights “Turn on at 6
156、:35 a.m.”Some in-car computers use speech recognition. These AutoPCs are part radio, part navigator（导航器）and part computer. To pick a radio channel, you tell the machine which one you want.Ever call a film theater for show? You might get a recording that asks you to say the name of the film you want
157、to see. This, and many other voice-mail systems, is speech recognition at work.65.This passage is mainly about _.A. computerB. technique of speech recognitionC. speech recognition in useD. what future speech recognition will be66.All of the following are involved computer speech recognition except _

159、 a theatre what film you want to see( 10 )People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for sunny be
160、ach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the time of the year is in the rain. This is the
161、reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked wit
162、hout a break every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each people living in Spain.But there are signs that the area is getting m
163、ore tourists, than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyones fun. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No mat
164、ter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.68.The writer seems to imply Northern Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _.A. they want to see historic remains 学校_ 班级_ 姓

Polluted waterB. Crowded busesC. Rainy weatherD. Traffic jams( 11 )Paris is an ancient city, the center of France and p
168、robably the most cultured city in Europe. For the modern traveler its very easy to reach the famous city on the river Seine. You can fly there in less time than it takes to travel by train from Beijing to Shanghai. Once you reach Paris you are surprised by a city that is the perfect combination of m
169、odern life and history.The best time to arrive is the spring. Winter is cold and wet, the summer humid and autumn windy. In the spring the flowers are blossoming, the sun shines and the birds sing. The people of Paris are most pleased with spring in their city. They play in the parks, visit the beau
170、tiful monuments and enjoy “joie de vivre”（生活的乐趣）.If you arrive in Paris in the springtime, you will enjoy the life of lazy walks down the boulevards too, sitting in the cafes and visiting the most famous museums in the world. There are many places for you to visit, Notre Dame de Paris, the nearby pa
171、lace of Versaille, the arch of Triumph and of course the Eiffel Tower.Youll notice that in Paris the people in the cafes all look out at the people on the street. They like to see and be seen. Some monuments are not French, but from Egypt, or Greece, or maybe Chinese! There are many, many dogs, espe

This is the city where the French impressionists painted their works, where arts, culture and literature are the main passions of life. Apart of course, from the food! All Frenchmen like to eat and drink wine they are never happier than w

175、the world.D. To encourage people to make a trip to Paris.( 12 )In recent years, especially during the 1960s, there was much discussion about “the brain drain（排干，流失）” which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chanc
176、es for study, research, and employment. For example, according to a report from U.N., between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad. Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and 15 percent of Turkis
177、h physicians also went to work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study. Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their
178、work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home. The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing. Man
179、y foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries. The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too. How
180、ever, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on. Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign-born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year. Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who a
181、re skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.76Which of the following is not the reason for “the brain drain”?A. Better chances of study.B. Better research conditionC. Good job possibilityD. Good housing77.The brain drain to the United States may be de

Museums always seek to (寻求)add their collections.D. Museums are places where you can learn something.E. People can
185、 benefit a lot from visiting museums.F. People can have access to appreciating those famous works of art in the exhibitions held by museums.80. _ (B)Museums are place where collections of objects are preserved and put on show. The objects may be anything found in nature made by man. There are museum
186、s devoted to art, science, history, industry, and technology.81. _ (A)But museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums, large or small, carryon educational programmes. Museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music recitals, art lessons, and other attractions.
187、 Many large museums have large libraries open to qualified researchers. Often museums collect more objects than they have room to display. The best are chosen for exhibition, and the rest are kept in a study collection. These study collections can be used by students, researchers, and scholars.82. _
188、 (C)Museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of displaying them. All museums share a common aimto attract visitors and help them to understand and enjoy the collections. Museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. Museums also accept gifts, but the la
189、rge museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. They accept only objects of collections that meet their high standards.83. _ (F)Museums often arrange loan exhibitions of important works from private owners, art dealers and other museums. In this way a famous masterpiece may be viewe
190、d by people who otherwise might never have the chance to see it. For example, in 1963 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City exhibited one of the worlds most famous ladies: Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The government of France had lent the painting to the United States. Attendan
191、ce at the Metropolitan had reached an all-time high during the month the Mona Lisa was shown there.84. _ (D)What is to be gained from visiting museums? Museum exhibits can teach us about the world in which we live -the materials it is made of, the trees, and plants that cover it, and the animals tha
192、t have lived on it since its beginning. We can learn about the activities of man-his history and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts. Most people see a great work of art for the first time in a museum. We can see wonderful examples of what man had been able to create out of clay,
193、stone, metal, and wood or with a paintbrush and paints. We cannot all be explores or collectors in other lands. But in a museum we can for ourselves the objects that have been gathered from every part of the world.E-2Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragrap

The function of cable television 80. _(F)CATV is a short way of saying “community antenna television.” But “cable television” i
195、s the term most people use. Cable television allows views to receive TV programs that they cannot pick up with their regular antennas. 81. _(C)Television signals do not follow the curve of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station move toward the horizon a
196、nd then go into space. If you live only a few miles from a station, you may not get any picture at all.82. _(B)CATV began in 1948. People in places far from TV stations shared the cost of putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, mountain, or on a high tower. The an
197、tenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the station, thick wires called cables ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly charge.83. _(A)CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found for it. Local stations could feed programs into empty chan
198、nels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather reports, and farm and school news at no extra charge.84. _(D)Today, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with regular antennas cannot see. It is also used in many classro

Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high m

This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.81. _ (E)Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course,
202、rules of a different kind which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.82. _ (F)If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might th
203、ink that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should not be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.83. _ (B)The moun
204、tain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.84. _ (C)A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best b

Last week a group of modern birdmen put their courage on their wings and _45_ gravity in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Pr
232、ovince. “Yes, you can buy a ticket and fly to another city. But running with your own wings and feeling your feet ready to _46_ is totally different,” Dong Fang said in an excited voice. He is one of 41 students from Hangzhou No. 14 Middle School to test their home-made aircrafts in the playground.
233、_47_ by the International Bognor Birdman Competition in the U.K., Ni Wangyue, a teacher in the high school is holding a similar event. The Bognor Birdman competition started in 1971 in the England costal city Bognor. People run off the end of a pier (码头) with their own aircraft in a(n) _48_ to “fly”
234、 the furthest distance. “From the very beginning, I didnt expect my students to create a real plane or break any records. I told them the _49_ is more for seeing how far your imagination can stretch,” said Ni. He was surprised to see his students create 10 different aircrafts with all kinds of mater
235、ial _ 50_ in the past month. Many students said that they learnt much more in the process of creating their plane than in ordinary classes. “Wed rather call ourselves dreamers _51_ pilots because no matter whether our wings really take off from the ground, our dream really flies,” said Dong Fang. Ji
236、ng Yuchen and his team named their plane “Weiming E”, which _52_an unknown goose. The 17-year-old boy deeply believes their goose of steel pipe and sailcloth(帆布) will honour its name by successfully taking off. “Our work is much more imaginative than others. With several colourful balloons on its ba
237、ck and a pair of light plastic wings it is _53_ the most eye-catching work, if not the best,” said Yu Liang, another student. “_54_ most of those home-made aircrafts cannot really take the boys flying, the boys braveness and creativity in this project will encourage every one of them to fly high in

Thousands of citizens lost their lives. Deaths figures are the biggest in the US since the San Francisco earthquake
241、in 1993.People feel very sad about the natural disaster. But we should also consider about the role human beings have played in _57_ our natural environment.Scientists point out that the flooding from Hurricane Katrina may have been caused by _58_ activity. They believe the greenhouse effect has cau
242、sed icebergs at both poles of the earth to _59_, resulting in sea level rise. As most of the land in New Orleans lies below sea level, it is possible that sea level _60_ could have had an effect.Along the seafront, forests have been cut down to make _61_ for hotels and restaurants. By losing this sh
243、ield(盾牌)，the city seemed too weak to fight against Hurricane Katrina.We have all learnt that nature is like a _62_ net, where humans are just a very small part, together with animals, plants air and more. When we destroy some parts, the balance is broken and disasters arrive. Perhaps this is why mor
244、e natural disasters are happening.America produces the most greenhouse gas of all the countries. But it _63_ to sign the “ Kyoto Protocol”(京都议定书)，which aims to limit its waste gas.

247、its bad luck to _46_ a mirror. This superstition probably began in ancient times. Back then, people believed their reflections（映象）in the mirror contained a part of their _47_. So, when people broke a mirror, they also _48_ their soul.Why would this bring seven years of bad luck? Well, Romans believe
248、d life _49_ itself every seven years. So a broken soul would take seven years to _50_. Today most people dont know how or where superstitions _51_. If you ask most Westerners why its bad luck to break a mirror, they probably wont know. And theyll probably tell you that they dont really believe that
249、the superstition is true. _52_ many of them may still skeptically follow it.Other people follow superstitions without even thinking about it. For example, if Im waiting for some good news, I may ask my friends to “ Cross their _53_.” But I dont really believe that this will bring me any _54_ luck.45

252、earcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher _55 an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in _56_.Observers noted down the referees errors, of
253、which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted（转变） to a _57_ match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then _58_ the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. _59_, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to t
254、he incident. When the officials got it right, they were, _60_, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12meters. The researcher shows the optimum（最佳的） distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed, correct decisions _61_ when the referees
255、 were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for _62_ was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to he _63_ standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their _64_ on the action from a distance, rather

Reading Comprehension(1)Meteorite(陨石) Makes a Crash LandingNational Geographic Kids MagazineNovember 05, 2004 A grapefruit-size meteorite crashe
268、d through the roof of a house in New Zealand this spring, struck into a sofa, hit the ceiling, and rolled under a table. Experts say the extremely hot rock was traveling about 300 miles an hour ( 500 kilometers an hour) when it crashed through the roof. Its landing made a terrific explosion. Doctor
269、Joel Schiff of the University of Auckland said, “ The meteorite is most likely a broken piece off a small planet and is older than anything else on Earth.” The meteorite is about 4.5 billion years old. “ It is one of the few physical records of the early solar system,” Schiff said. According to expe
270、rts, the space rock was probably traveling 30,000 miles an hour ( 50,000 kilometers an hour) when it reached Earths atmosphere（大气层）. Earths atmosphere slowed it down. Most likely the space rock came to Earth from a belt of small planets located between Mars( 火星) and Jupiter(土星), some 435 million mil
271、es (700 million kilometers ) away. Luckily no one was hurt when the meteorite landed, but it could mean money from the heavens for homeowners Phil and Brenda Archer.

He scored 101.52 points in one attempt at the finals and beat arch rival(对手) Dimitry Sautin of Russia to win the gold medal in the mens 10 meter platform diving. This was the highest score for one dive ever recorded in the history of the Olympic di

The handsome young man is so good at diving that when his coach playfully pushed him into the pool for celebration, he made an instinctive，perfect dive. “ I have been waiting to win this gold medal for four years,” said Tian, who was ranked fifth in the same event at the 1996 Atlan

In order to break the dominance of Sautin in the event, Tian had trained to make a very difficult dive for more than one year before the Sydney Olympics. “ I will use this dive to beat Sautin,” he said before the Olympic finals. And he did. Tian, born in the city of Chongqing in ce

305、(7)Do you know that a turtle can lay 12 eggs in one minute? A large sea turtle lays around 150 eggs at a time. She lays all these eggs in just a few minutes. Large sea turtles live in the warm seas of the world. Except for when they lay their eggs, they spend their whole lives in the water. When it
306、is time to lay their eggs, the females swim to land. They usually return to the place where they themselves were born. How they find their way back there is unknown. When they reach shore, the big, heavy turtles crawl slowly up to the high water mark. Using their flippers, they pull themselves along
307、 the sand. They must struggle like mountain climbers. When they finally reach dry sand, they rest before beginning the difficult task of laying eggs.

(8) This investigation of the murdering to two Dartmouth College professors has expanded to other nations, a prosecutor said on Saturday. Investigators were interviewing people who knew Half and Susanne Zantop in the United St
312、ates and abroad, New Hampshire Attorney General Kell Ayotte said. The Zantops were born in Germany and frequently traveled overseas. “The Zantops were not just members of the Dartmouth community, they also were members of the world community,” Ayotte said. She gave no additional details about the in
313、vestigation, but said authorities have received new leads every day since the couple were found dead in their home on Jan. 27. Their bodies were discovered by a dinner guest who arrived and found their door unlocked. The couple had been stabbed (刺), most likely by someone they knew or had let into t
314、heir house, authorities said. Friends said the Zantops were known for opening their home to colleagues and students. Authorities said a car impounded (扣押) in at the Manchester N. H. airport last week was one of many they plan to examine. An employee at a car rental agency told WNDS-TV that the drive
315、r may have been involved with a university in Arizona. In a letter issued Friday, Dartmouth President James Wright told students, faculty members and other staffers he was proud of the way they have supported each other in the wake of (紧跟) the killings. “Times such as these test any community, ” he

Looking, like breathing, is natural; we do it
319、without noticing it. Looking is passivebut seeing is active. Once you start seeing things you really begin to wake up. People who see things which others have only looked at, and draw conclusions from what they see, can add to mans knowledge and help progress.Someone recently discovered a place wher
320、e metal had been worked continuously longer than any where else in England. He “saw” a wall in the Forest of Dean. Thousands of people must have looked at it without really seeing it, but this man noticed that among the usual stones of that place were bits and pieces of a different color; they also
321、felt different to the hand. A closer sight showed that these pieces had been left behind in the fires of ancient people who had melted rocks to get metals. Looking around, he found more and more information, until the history of what men had done at that place over tens of centuries was known.65. In
322、 the first sentence of this passage, “his waking life” means _. A. the time when he is waking up B. all the time he is awake C. all the time he is alive D. all the time he is breathing66.

One hundred years later, howeve
333、r, the Indians only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice (不公正) occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America. At first, the settlers and the Indians lived in peace. However, the number of settlers increased greatly
334、 every year, and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their survival. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvation. The settlers also brought with them many dis
335、eases which were common in white society, but which were new for the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100,000 to 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Wa
336、shington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to other poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They bega
337、n to attack white settlers, and the Indian war began. For 30 years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man. They had a few famous successes, but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were
338、too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the country. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.73. It can be inferred form the passage that _.A. in the U.S. there were many
339、laws that provided the rights of American IndiansB. the law which was passed in 1789 by the U.S. government was not successfully carried outC. in the 19th century no injustices were done against the Indians by the U.S. governmentD. the majority of white settlers were openly opposed to the law passed

The ongoing construction of a new telecommunication service will make these things reality, very soon.It is reported that China is to issue its first licence for the commercial use of third generation telecommunication technology early next year.The so-called 3G technology wi
345、ll enable mobile phone users to enjoy high-speed Internet-based services. It will help increase mobility in many areas of our life. Nowadays, many mobile phones also allow you to send e-mails or read the latest stories on the Internet, but their services are limited by their transporting speed, whic
346、h is only 10 kilobytes per second. But 3G will enable you to connect to the Internet with a speed of up to 2 megabytes per second, a thousand times faster than what you use now.If recent mobile technology is like riding a bike on a country road, then 3G will make you fly on the information highway.
347、For example, a mobile phone with 3G technology will enable you to download a three minutes MP3 song within two minutes. But at the moment, it will take you up to an hour to do this with your mobile phone.In the near future, well expect high-speed access to the Internet, entertainment, information an
348、d electronic commerce services wherever we are not just at our computers or television sets.In the UK and many other European countries where 3G services have been around since 2003, 3G has already become a part of modern business life.

The development in the main port areas of the Port of Shanghai80. _ (C) The Port of Shanghai, a hub（中心）of water-land trans
355、port and trade on Chinas coast since the Song Dynasty early in mid-twelfth century, is the biggest port on Chinas mainland for international shipping. The annual cargo throughput(吞吐量) of the port hit another record high of 176 million tons in 1993. The volume of International containers has reached
356、the historical highest point.81. _ (E) By now the Port of Shanghai has established maritime trade relations with more than 400 ports in over 160 countries and regions in the world, with 21 international regular lines starting from the port on over 100 voyages per month directly to North America, Eur
357、ope, Australia, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean as well as Southeast and Northeast Asia and so on.82. _ (A) Following the continuous and steady new growth in Chinas national economy, the Port of Shanghai has, over the six years from 1988 to 1993, made an investment of RMB￥2.3 billion in capital
358、construction and renovation(革新), and updated a large number of handling machines. Both cargo throughput(吞吐量) capacity and handling efficiency of the port have increased remarkably.83. _ (B) Today, the port has become one of the hot spots that attract both attention and investment from other parts of
359、 China and the whole world. During his visit in Shanghai in the spring of 1992, Deng Xiaoping expressed his hope that Shanghai would show some changes every year. Taking this as its objective, the Port of Shanghai has been quickening the steps in its operational and commercial activities as well as
360、construction of deep-water port areas.84. _ (F)The four marginal berths of Waigaoqiao New Port Area have been largely completed and put into operation. Construction of the Luojing Coal Terminal was started at the end of 1993. Grain Silos with a capacity of 80,000 tons and a modern communication buil

Superstar of perfection80. ( F ) How did Michael Jordan get to the top? What made him the greatest basketball player of all t
363、ime? Not just the five NBA championships in 1985, 1989, 1991, 1996 and 1997. Not just his height, his skill, his speed and his ability to score winning baskets. He was in every way a superstar.81. ( B ) The secret of his success on the court was always this-“ Practice makes perfect.” When he was alr
364、eady famous and the top player in the country , he still went onto the court before a game and practiced hard for up to an hour. He practiced a single move and shot maybe thirty or forty times. He scored with every shot. Then he practiced a move again and again and again. He didnt practice until it
365、was perfect, because it was already perfect the first time. He practiced until 40 out of 40 shouts were perfect and it was impossible for him to miss that shot.82. ( C ) Jordan always wanted to win. At college, a basketball team-mate once beat him at ping-pong. Jordan went out and bought a ping-pong
366、 and practiced until he was the best ping-pong player in the team.83. ( A ) Jordan is one of a line of black American sports people who have become role models for young people. Some of the others have been Mohamed Ali, the boxer, in the 1960s, Tiger Woods, the golfer, in the 1990s, and the Williams
367、 sisters, both of them tennis players, in the 00s. What do young black people learn from such superstars? They learn that it is possible to become the best in their sport, to be successful, to make money, and to become famous.84. ( D ) When he began to be famous, Jordan was soon earning more money f
368、rom companies than from basketball. He wore Nike trainers and ate at McDonalds restaurants. But most important, he ran his business himself. He controls it and only he makes the important decisions. For young black people, running your own life and controlling your own business is the one thing in l
369、ife which they have always wanted. Jordan retired from basketball in January, 1999. As he hung up his shoes, he said, “ Ive had a great time!”(3)A.

370、tD. New definitions about green buildingsE. The way the green buildings worksF. Green buildings will become popular in the future80. _ (d)These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices
371、. Green buildingmeans “reducing the impact of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington, D.C., said. 81. _(c) According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, t
372、he buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subway, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings dont des
373、troy forests. 82._(a) Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the countrys first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “Weve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent. ”83. _(e) The Solaire cuts e
374、nergy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the suns energy into electricity, ” Dettling explained. The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing peopl
375、e to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it. 84. _(f) Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “Its going to be big.”IV
