19、f there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading
20、a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives- the big political stories; the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same. I think there will b
21、e more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do - as we develop a better understanding of how the bra
22、in operates and what our feelings really are. Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu,
23、 making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read- sports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(煤体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off
24、newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Ch
25、anges of MediaC. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspapers32. In the writers opinion, in the future, _.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer.C. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more
26、and more people will watch TV.33. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by you?A. Sports and international news. B. A menu of important newsC. The most important news. D. What you are interested in34. From the text, we can infer that _. A. newspapers will win the competition among the diffe
27、rent media B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media C. television will take the place of newspapers. D. some media will die out35. The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _.A. depend on B. compete with C. fight with D. kill ofB Many scientists are now exploring
28、the idea of going to live on Mars. Some other scientists from the MASA AMES Center(美国宇航局) have already started the creation of a “Mars town” and many others are in fact already experimenting with it. Of course, these experiments are done on Earth itself but this “Mars town” has an environment practi
29、cally like that of Mars.The astronauts working in these towns wear their space suit and also do everything they would really have to carry out if they ever go to Mars in the future. But Mars would be like Earth, a temporary（临时的） place for humans. When the Sun starts swallowing up(吞掉) the planets, Ma
30、rs will disappear only hours after Earth. So Mars only seems to be the ideal place to spread the human beings. It is also a good location to send humans if ever there is a disaster on Earth. By saying disaster, I mean asteroids(小行星) hitting and things like that. If we humans do not want to disappear
31、 when Earth or Mars gets swallowed up, we will have to go and live beyond the solar system. But are there any planets outside our solar system prepared to support life? Astronomers answer is: “If Earth can support life, why cant other planets do the same too? Astronomers have already discovered a Ju
32、piter(木星)- like planet orbiting a Sun-like star, so why not an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star? To achieve this goal though, many other problems have to be taken into consideration. How do we transform(改造) a dusty planet like Mars into one more or less like our Earth? How should we go on?
33、 There is still a long way to go.36. The “Mars town” mentioned in the passage is _ A. a research based on Mars. B. an experimental lab built on Earth. C. a strange place on Mars. D. a town existing in scientists imagination37. We can know from the passage that astronomers probably think _ A. it is i
34、mpossible to transport humans to other planets. B. there may be an Earth-like planet outside the solar system C. humans will move to the new-found Jupiter-like planet D. theres no need for humans to move beyond the solar system.38.Why would Mars only be a temporary(临时) place for humans? A. The condi
35、tions there would be too hard for the human beings B. There would be more disasters like asteroids hitting. C .It would disappear when Earth disappeared. D. It would be too hot to live on.39. The underlined word “orbiting” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “_” A. moving around B. getti
36、ng close to C. passing by quickly D. going through40. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. Mars Town B. Living on Mars C. The Future of Earth D. Where to live in the FutureCIt is hard to track the blue whale, the oceans largest creature, which has almost been killed of
37、f by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a parti
38、cular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navys formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans.Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy st
39、arts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption （爆发） for the fi
40、rst time and that they plan similar studies.Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures.The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a secondslower than through land but faster than through air. What is most
41、important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope （听诊器） does when it carries faint noises from a patients chest to a doctors ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-freque
42、ncy ones, can often travel thousands of miles.41. The passage is chiefly about _ . A. an effort to protect an endangered marine speciesB. the civilian use of a military detection system C. the exposure of a U.S. Navy top-secret weapon D. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales 42. The und
43、erwater listening system was originally designed _ . A. to trace and locate enemy vessels B. to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions C. to study the movement of ocean currents D. to replace the global radio communications network 43. The deep-sea listening system makes use of _ . A. the sophisticated
44、 technology of focusing sounds under water B. the capability of sound to travel at high speed C. the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting sound D. low-frequency sounds travelling across different layers of water_ 44. It can be inferred from the passage that_. A. new radio devices
45、 should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales B. blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system C. opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology D. military technology has great potential in civilian use 4
46、5. Which of the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network? A. It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists. B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system. C. It became useless to the military after the cold war. D. It is indispensable in protecting endangered speci
47、es. DEconomics has long been known as an unpleasant science. But is any economist so dull as to criticize Christmas? At first glance, the holiday season in western economies seems a treat for those who are concerned with such things as GDP growth. After all, everyone is spending; in America, sellers
48、 make 25 % of their yearly sales and 60 % of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even so, economists find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases being made.Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. At the simplest level, giving gifts involves the givers thin
49、king of something that the receiver would like he tries to guess her preferences, as economists say and then buying the gift and delivering it. Yet this guessing of preferences is often done badly. Every year, ties go unworn and books unread. And even if a gift is enjoyed, it may not be what the rec
50、eiver would have bought if they had spent the money themselves.Interested in this mismatch between wants and gifts, in 1993 Joel Waldfogel, then an economist at Yale University, attempted to estimate the disparity(差距) in dollar terms. He asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season: f
51、irst, estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for all the holiday gifts you received; second, apart from the emotional value of the items, if you did not have them, how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were unpleasant: on average, a gift was valued by the receiver wel
52、l below the price paid by the giver.The most conservative(保守的) estimate put the average receivers valuation at 90% of the buying price. The missing 10% is what economists call a deadweight loss; a waste of resources that could be avoided without making anyone poorer. In other words, if the giver gav
53、e the cash value of the purchase instead of the gift itself, the receiver could then buy what she really wants and be better off for no extra cost. It suggests that in America, where givers spend $40 billion on Christmas gifts, $ 4 billion is being lost annually in the process of gift giving. Add in
54、 birthdays, weddings and non Christian occasions, and the figure would balloon. So should economists call for an end to gift giving, or at least press for money to become the gift of choice?46. Why do some people regard the holiday season in western economies a treat?A. Because the economic situatio
55、n in US has been depressing.B. Because American sellers make a quarter of their yearly sales through holiday season.C. Because holiday spending can speed up GDP growth.D. Because sellers can make as much profit as 60 % over holiday season.47. Whats the main idea for the second paragraph?A. In many c
56、ases the gifts cannot meet the receivers needs.B. The purchases made over holiday season are actually a waste of money.C. Its really not easy to guess the others preferences.D. Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others.48. The purpose of Joel Waldfogels study is to _.A. prove the mismatch
57、between wants and giftsB. estimate the disparity between wants and gifts in economic terms C. spark new ideas of economic studies on holiday spendingD. discover the exact cost of holiday spending on gift giving 49. Economists think of the misusing 10% of holiday spending as a deadweight loss because
58、_.A. the cash value of the purchase is lower than the buying priceB. it is actually a waste of resources in economic termsC. with the money the receivers can be better off for no extra costD. it makes many people even poorer for spending more on unwanted gifts50. According to the passage altogether
59、how much money is wasted every year on gift giving?A. About $4 billion.B. About 10% of the total value.C. About $40 billion. D. Much more than $4 billion.第二节：信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）A well-known English magazine invited five people to answer a series of questions. One of the questions is: Do you enjoy
60、foreign food? For Questions 1-5, match the name of each person to one of the statements given below.51. John Harvey: In fact if you go out to a restaurant, its very difficult to find the “British” cooking, but you can find almost anything else: French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on. London is f
61、ull of foreign restaurants. I love trying “new dishes.” I think you can understand a lot about another culture from its food.52. Jo Baker: I like foreign food, but not all. I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mild curry I make myself. I like most European dishes, but Spa
62、nish food is quite low down on my list. However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat good old English cooking. What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beef roasted in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with piping hot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? Fr
63、om my point of view, I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad. You see, thats just part of the enjoyment of travelling to another country. Foreign food is also fine for an odd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old English food.53. Gabby Macadam:On the whole
64、I enjoy foreign food, but having said that I can think of dozens of foreign dishes which I simply cant stand. You see, they have fish in some way or other and I never eat fish in any form. I have found that many foreign dishes are served with a kind of sauce. I think it is the accompanying sauce tha
65、t hides all sorts of problems. I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they were served without the sauce.54. Len Dangerfield: When we English people travel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but always end up with steak. You see, when Im abroad I always
66、miss our home cooking. I mean, Im used to English food. Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste some exotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food. You know, its always difficult to get used to food in other countries.55. Peter Hawke:I like foreign food. I particularly lik
67、e Indian food. Well, Im married to an Indian girl. She is a good cook. Im so lucky to have her cook for me every day. I think Indian food as well as other foreign foods is generally tastier and spicier than English food. Traditional English dishes, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and fish and
68、chips, are quite well-known abroad. But I must say as a nation we are not particularly good at catering. As far as Im concerned, I think we should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make our food tastier and more varied.A. Cooking varies from country to country even though the basic gradients
69、 may be very much the same.B. I cant stand those foreign dishes which contain fish in some way or other, and Im not so sure that Im fond of many foreign dishes which are served with a kind sauce.C. I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad, but for every day, traditional English food is
70、always my first choice.D. Foreign dishes can be tasted occasionally, but I find it difficult to adjust to the tastes. So I still prefer English food.E. I love foreign food, and I think people can understand a lot about another culture from what they eat.F. English people should learn to cook more at

I have been spending lots of time doing many things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers
